FW?! This is totally new to me... I just checked out some vids of it, and I think this is getting my VAS on.
it looks like it has everything to be a nice at-home vape. I love the hopper and it does satisfy all day, but with all the worry about it being so prone to problems...
It has a bigger chamber, and seems like you can load it up for a longer up-time than the hopper.
Does this seem like a great higher-duty product to you, @Mr Mellish ? How's the battery situation, does it last well enough between charges?
I'm not in a rush, so I'd love to get the FW4 if it gets good reviews.... OhboyOhboyOhboy
Hey, @JoeMama. I haven't compared but I'm pretty sure the GH chamber is bigger. But...the FW works just as well and the battery (batteries?) last longer than the GH and the vapor is smoother and tastier. The FW4 is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on an FF2. If the FF2 is that much better on flavor than the FW3, I would be shocked. The FW3 blows away everything I have:
GH-SS
GH-Ti
MFLB
Pax2
Prima
Vapman
Crafty
ESV
PnP (deceased)
Seriously, no comparison. The FW3 showed me that flavor was a valid component of the process, like nothing else I've experienced. But, I still love my GH's. The FW3 is actually pretty fast but it still pales in comparison to the GH in terms of speed to action and speed to lifeless crispy ABV. All these goddamn trade-offs can be annoying as shit, I'm not playing Dungeons and Dragons here, I just want a great experience without having to design my tool...
And that is why I am struggling with what to do with my ESV.

Thank you (and for your response on the FW forum)!
I will definitely be looking for more reviews on the FW4. I like how the battery on it can be easily replaced.
Rather than take up space here on it, I'll PM you when I wanna pick your brain more
Thanks again.

Email them and ask about it and it will get sent out most likely.

It happens again. Does anyone know this problem and may help me? I feel my hopper dies just slowly.

Hi @Kermitt , you can try this :
- Give twist the temperature back and forth, give it a few good twists and try to 'feel' any grittiness. Keep twisting it until it's smooth as you can get - use some more compressed air if necessary
- Try twisting the on-switch clicker 90-degrees and giving it a few clicks

But do your twists with the battery removed...

Please wait....my crystal ball is at the shop getting serviced. Once repaired, I will ask the all knowing glass ball and get back with you ASAP.

Sorry for the stupid question. But it could be, that someone in this forum had the same problem, and knows how it ended.
So I really don't like the clip on the hopper and wanted to take it off entirely. Figured it's an aesthetic thing so hopefully it wouldn't void the warranty, but this is the response I got:
Hi There,
Removing the clip will void the warranty on your Back End. We will still offer service for the other components of your Hopper. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Best,
Caroline
It's a bummer, I guess my clip is staying on. But at least it doesn't void the whole warranty and they'd service the other parts of the hopper.

Kermitt, unfortunately a considerable number of us have had issues with lights; some have worked themselves out, and some haven't. I'm guessing, but having any behavior like that will likely result in an inevitable failure. But until it does, you're just going to have to deal with the uncertainty. Perhaps, as I would do if I were you, use the hopper a lot, don't baby it, and see if it survives. If it does, then you've lucked out with a self-fixing hopper. If it doesn't, then it was ultimately meant for a warranty repair.
ZC, I just want to suggest that, at least for my fingers, the clip is a helpful "nub" that helps me loosen and tighten while leaving the Temp dial unmoved. It looks like a solid band going around the backend, and it might hold those guts in, so think hard about dat for you do it!

They make collapsible funnels that would be easier to carry.

I found an unexpected perk of warranty service through Hopper Labs was that they will, at no additional cost, scratch your new and pristine device up for you! You don't even have to request this unique, lifetime custom etching- they just provide this service, free of charge
Snarkiness aside, I was over it quickly. Kind of liberating, even, like the first few blemishes on a vehicle. My original back end I had success bending the clip away from the body, the second I did not bother.

Finally filed my warranty for my second unit.
My other replacement body should be here Monday, pretty damn keen.
Hopefully my newer replacement body will go the right way around the globe and get to me sooner. Fuckin USPS.
It suuuucks not having a hopper.
The GH is better than my EQ in every way. But as a back-up vape, it's a tank and it's nice for it to see use, I guess.
I have to mention the merit in getting friends to buy onto your HL order, I've still been able to use a GH and that is something I really appreciated.
Can't wait to get both of mine working again though!
Won't be long, I'll be having a triple treat hit to celebrate I reckon
