I'm getting so excited, even though it'll still be a while before mine lands. I really want this to be my truly portable out & about, at the seaside/nature walk, quick hit on a busy city street solution. Vapcap and IH are doable but it's a pretty exposed heating operation and doesn't really look like anything else. Looking natural and easy, every movement second-nature - if you can manage this, you can get away with most anything anywhere ime. Look like you're being sneaky or out of place, doing anything that's rather strange will attract unwanted attention. Not a concern if no-one is around on a dog walk but it becomes too difficult for an old putz like me to walk while watching both where I'm going and what's going on around me, and then add to that holding the IH in my left hand and a Vapcap in my right, trying to get satisfying hits, all whilst trying to look as nonchalant as possible.
A preloaded hopper sounds soo much better.
With the hopper's bowl, seems like you can get 2-3 really good hits and its power and vape signature are famous for being unlike anything else and that's what I need: quick and powerful delivery that I can hit quickly, get some relief and attitude adjustment for the second half of a day out somewhere. So the Hopper really fits a niche that I desperately need to fill and hopefully, since I won't be relying on it in a full-time, day in & out capacity I hop. Honestly makes me a little giddy to think I'm going to know what the Grasshopper is all about instead of forever wondering! I'm trying to quit putting things off (within reason) and saying "Someday I'll..." and never doing the "..."
I totally agree with
@vapviking about not get carried away with ourselves until there is more data gathered and more time has passed. That's fair because if HL is to succeed, there has to be that moment where things come together and a corner is turned and things take off. I understand this is all very recent but I do think it might really be that moment, I think mainly due to the no-marketing-BS communication here which sounds completely different to the blatant spin of emails past. But in any event, I don't think you're a Debbie Downer my friend. Maybe a little Patty Pragmatic sometimes but that's one of the things we love about ya!
@Baron23 On the silicone mouthpiece, it's not a matter of price ($6) so much as do I really need it. I thought the PFE mated perfectly to 14mm glass? Anyways, I'm sure I'll grab one to try whenever I pick up the leather sleeve. Thanks!
@Mr. Me2 Thanks for that post, I'm happy to report I got the spiral stand for loading, mini-funnel for same, the individual battery caps x 2 and two of his 3-battery holster (the ones you need two to fully encapsulate three batteries). I think there might be something else I'm forgetting. *SHOCKER* I really liked the sold-out leather pouch, and got excited when I saw that more were expected to arrive until I saw that announcement was dated 2017!
Also, I want you to know this as a friend, I'd already gone to Delta 3D and bought all that stuff well before I saw your post, so what I'm trying to say I guess is: Thanks for Nothing! Except I think I knew to go to Delta 3D because of one of your advertisements for him. So there ya go, I really do owe you some credit and thanks. But then again, it's really more of a statement of how much I look up to you. You've always been like the freaky brother I never had, with those floppy ears and that goofy smile, a big furry walking guide for psychedelic mushroom tours.
HEY
@Hopper Labs !!! I know you've only just sent my stuff so I technically shouldn't have anything to complain about, right? Well, guess again! Yep, I'm sure you know what's coming:
Steel Case & Hopper BC What's the dealio? Both have an estimated 2019 release in the store but is that still realistic? If it's not, if you know there is absolutely no freakin way, you should replace that with
Coming Soon! or something but not necessarily give a new time estimate. Timelines rarely works out when you're innovating, whether a sophisticated charger or a funky case. A estimated release date always seems to bite the manufacturer and disappoint the weirdos who get excited about this type of shit.
@slozukimc 
that’s going to be perfect for the hopper! So some folks find the metal mp tolerable and others don’t and the silicone mp is the solution? I hope my lips are tough enough or my hopper is gentle with me!
