Thought I'd report that I have my first torn battery cover. It tore at the top near the battery nipple. It looks like I wanted to unwrap it.

So playing it safe, I tossed it and now I'm down to 2 batteries. I feel so naked and exposed.

Guess it's time to order extra gh batteries. I wish they had hoppers in stock so I could justify the shipping cost (and have a backup)... I'm assuming they charge shipping for battery orders, but hope I'm wrong about that.

there is no way to rewrap Hoppers battery or use heat shrink ?

Not that I'm aware, but I'll let others weigh in. Not sure if it would void the warranty too.

I wouldn't mess with a halfway used up, second extra battery that's replaceable for $7. Get a couple of GHB2's @Mr. Me2 ! Shipping domestic in US would be $3.50, I believe.
I think I'd only fix the wrap myself if it were my last battery. Well, maybe second to last.

Here's a non-sequitor. What ever happened to those 'new' style silicone mouthpieces? I think they were mentioned about two Updates ago, no? This seems like such a simple accessory, and a potential revenue source, so, what's the holdup? And I don't wanna hear about why the leather sleeves have not been available for many, many months. Website says those, if ordered, will ship in 2-3 days. Does the Paypal conspiracy (fraud) theory apply to the sleeves? Even the free(?) ones.

got a replacement body in the mail today :)

however it's wierd that the finish is better than on my original SS body.. So I weighted it and it's 21.43g and my old SS body is 22.22g. Did they send me a titanium? But could also be design changes. Will using a titanium body with a ss front and ss back potential damage the unit?

Caroline told me the mouthpiece is interchangeable. You may want to email her and ask about the backend. You might want to also ask if they lightened the ss body.

Ok I just ordered two of those Silicon 14mm to 18mm adapters. Hope it works. Secondly, I ordered two pairs of battery caps. I also ordered the mini funnel. LOL I went on a spending spree at @Ratchett 's. LOL :-). I also ordered the Mighty water pipe adapter. Let's see what happens :-)

I think you'll like them. They are my preferred reducer by far, especially for the Grasshopper. They provide a perfect seal with no scratching of the mouthpiece, and they are black so they don't stain like the hopper's silicone mouthpiece.

I love all of my Delta 3D Studio accessories!
