Discontinued The Grasshopper

[MoltenTiger]

Received this last night. Guess I'll send it in since it's just a paperweight at this point anyway.

thanks for sharing, hope it works out for you in the long run at least

Any takes on what that 3-6 is gonna grow into?

interesting new site they've moved to at least. Any idea how long ago they moved @slcbdco ?

Kind of don't even want to think about it seeing as a 2 week estimate from HL can be as long as a year or more.

Greetings...

After 7 months I just got back a grey Ti from RMA Land...

So far, it seems to be working very well....

I notice the "clicking" sound it makes while operating, on this device, is very faint, but the output on T3.5-4 is stellar.

I just sent in another grey Ti to them for RMA, which I'd been using but always underperformed.
Based on what I'm reading here, I don't expect to see it for at least 6 months.

After all this time with Hoppers, I've assuaged any sense of owning a reliable vape by using oil cartridges.
The days of relying on a Hopper are over, far as I'm concerned. They're great when they work, but I needed a better system to depend upon.

Yeah it really sucks, what with the huge waits and the sporadic end result.

It's worth it to send it away, but it's a serious nuisance.

My blue GH properly hits super hard. Close to a portable sublimator. We'll see how long it can keep that up

They were in the process of moving last week so I’m guessing they'll take a bit to also get established in the new place. The reason they moved is because the building they were in is being redeveloped. They’re still in Boulder

Probably backlogged so bad from letting people go. Batteries will probably appear after the manufacturer is paid. Returns no doubt ate up profits and shit out big expenses. Hopper Labs may have a very low profile by July.........6 months.

So, last weekend while I was in Hamburg I was robbed by three Arabs. Aside from a few other worthful vapes and my whole luggage with my notebook they robbed my GH Ti with 8 bats in a customized leather pouch from @Ratchett with a lot of accessories and material - fuck them!

I'm so sorry to hear that dude... Bloody bastards... fuck them all the way... did they hurt you as well?

They probably haven't unpacked their computers yet - I still haven't gotten an update on my RMA in which I emailed them on 1/12 asking for one and wishing them a Happy New Year. It would be happier with a working Hopper. Their last message was around Thanksgiving:

"Your unit has arrived and is in the service department queue. Due to the backlog of devices needing to be upgraded, service can take 60-90 days or more at this time. I don't yet have a more exact estimation do to your device arriving relativly recently. Your Hopper will be returned with new and improved Version 5 parts."

“The waiting is the hardest part.” (TP RIP)

Sorry to hear this. I hope you’re ok, which is the most important thing. Possessions can be replaced, people cannot.

60-90 days or more

what a coincidence: that's exactly the time it'll take for me to hit the lottery jackpot.

@Hogni oh man, what a bummer... feel so sorry for you!

Close to a portable sublimator eh??.. hmmm ya don't say

I haven't used a sublimator before but I can't imagine anything hitting harder than a 100% fully working grasshopper.

 

[Hammahead]

I have used a friends Sublimator and imo it's way more effective than anything else I ever tried. Insane clouds, we extracted the entire resin out of a 120-150 mg portion of weed in one (1) toke and we looked like contestants in a vape-off. Way too heavy for me and way to complex to handle, also the super hot metal rod makes me afraid. Also the price tag is way out of what I'm willing to pay for such a device. But it's an experience I'm glad to have made.

Sounds like you're describing a fully functioning Grasshopper!

Imagine that video didn't last +1 minute but only about 20 seconds, still with the same amount of fog. That's how I remember the Sublimator.

subliminator doesnt have a 5 second heat up? like @Cheesequake said NOthing hits harder then a fully functioning hopper i repeat NO THING. lol

While you are right with the speed, that's two different things. The Sub is not comparable in any respect, but it definitely is capable of out-clouding most devices on the market, even the Verdamper or the VapeXhale Evo. Trust me, I've been there. Just watch a few reviews to see what that thing can do. I would probably NEVER buy it, cause it's such a helluva hassle to use, it's ridiculous, plus just insanely priced. But it does what it does.

no thanks besides the price i have no need for a desktop. and the speed is a huge factor. you can plug your sub in and wait around for optimal heat but 5 seconds to get pretty close to the same temp? GH is where its at.

gs-sub-vrod-fp they are all too much for me to handle. the GH is jut as powerful however fits in my hand. granted the cs sucks for most (not an issue for me thus far) and reliability is spotty at best ive been weilding a hopper for about a year now and i had to send it in but got it back repaired 2 weeks later so i cant complain about that. my hoppers still my number one and i wish the design could be tweaked a tiny bit to make it more reliable but idk how the wireless construction works.

Takes about 20 mins of pre-heating the empty device to properly get up to temp, then it vaporises huge clouds almost instantly.
The GH takes a few seconds to heat up, and then some time for the vapour to peak in density.

The Sub is very powerful and can fit small or huge herb samples. The GH takes small to moderate amounts

Make up your mind lol

Is the Grasshopper the hardest hitting or pretty close to the same thing? I love my hoppers but they’re not the hardest hitting, they’re up there but not the top dog in my opinion. Pretty close to the same thing. And I haven’t even tried a Sub or Supreme. I think I would be more inclined to purchase the Supreme though, but that’s simply because of my needs and usage scenario. Do whatever works for you is what I say.

Certainly not the hardest hitting, but certainly one of the closest portables to being properly hard hitting, and the only ultraportable that is.

However, there is a massive difference between the effect given from my HT unit which has been pumping clouds since May 21, and the blue Ti unit I got back last Monday.
The Blue Ti is getting hotter than 210 for sure. The ABV is extra dark, like it looks like it's from the VapCap or the Sub when it's dialled way up (a few notches over what I opt for).

The big thing is that the GH is fully convection, whilst the Sub is hybrid. They don't really hit the same to begin with, but I mean, these devices are hitting hard enough to cause minor hallucination, so that's certainly something.
My HT unit would need a big load of kief before I start getting the same types of hits, while the Blue Ti is creating a ridiculous amount of cloudage from flower.

My Ti unit returned with the blue one is okay, it takes much longer to heat up, but it's also putting out some solid clouds. Just not as consistently as my other two units (which keep the cloud density during the hit, the plain Ti seems to fluctuate a bit in temp as its running).

The full force of the GH is great to have, it's a true bong replacement.

I've been enjoying my HT a lot, but I haven't used it much since having access to the blue.

But, yesterday I was working from home and chose not to use the blue, because I'd get too baked.

These old GHs are all over the place, which actually makes having 3 that much more worthwhile, but there's no such thing as a perfect hopper - or a perfect vape.
The Sub is amazing, but it's ridiculous. Having 90% of the power in a blue pen is just insane.

So, I'll be happy whilst it's working but I don't think it will stand the test of time... but who knows.

There's a reason I own two Hoppers and won't probably even buy a sublimator when I win that lottery in 60 to 90 days (or later).

The Sub is amazing, but it's ridiculous.

Couldn't be put shorter and more precisely.

shoot mine is HARD hitting. its worked out for me for about a year now. i guess we need someone with both to put it to a test.

edit: @Hammahead good luck with the lotto!

 

[JCat]

I’ve kinda’ lost faith and interest at this point in my hoppers ... my Ti is working fine, my SS still isn’t ... why would I expect it to after 2 years? I guess I must be an extremely unreasonable customer to expect a working product after 2 years and hundreds of dollars of shipping on RMAs ....

Oh well ... about to get on a flight for a nice hot vacation and bringing my splinter-z and a stempod and a couple mods ...

My first Hopper was a SS model purchased in July 2016. Recently the temp dial became stuck and would not turn at all. I received a replacement back end from HL just before Christmas 2018. The old SS body coupled with the new SS back end now runs hotter than the original, and significantly hotter than any of my other Hoppers. I'm not complaining . I now use it starting at temp 3 and stepping up to temp 4. It still produces very dark brown ABV consistently. I use all of my other Hoppers starting at temp 4 and stepping up to temp 5.

There are definite variations in temps between Hoppers. All of my Hoppers work quite satisfactorily.
