Going to try the extra batteries nextSounds like you might have a malfunctioning unit. I get lots of vapor on 3.5 on mine (at least, you know, when it's not broken)

It sounds like you have a defective Grasshopper. That's what my Ti started doing after a month of normal performance. I never got any error lights, but I sent it in and they replaced the backend. I haven't got it back yet.I have been trying to figure out my new TI,
So far I'm not feeling it.
Starts up fine, load what seems to be a half plus load, set temp to 3.5 and then basically nothing.
I get a hint of a taste, no hint of vapor. Taste isn't that great.
Tried all types of draw patterns, no difference.
I know something is going on, but nowhere what I was expecting.
Tried different type at higher Temps, but it was too harsh, but manged a hint of vapor.
I'm not looking for clouds, just a little affirmation.
Then recharged the battery, using stock charger, to see maybe there wasn't enough juice out if the box to work properly.
Any thoughts?

My four month old SS just did the slow red/blue flash for the second time. I did the backend twist and temp dial fix and it's working again for the moment. I don't expect that to last, time to file its first warranty claim.

It's just a relevant vapour signature, I feel it's fair to call it harsh. Harshness can be enjoyed, or detested.I agree completely, except... I don't find the vapor harsh. I wonder if that's because I almost never go above 3. There are many other factors , of course, including material. I just don't find it harsh. Not as flavorful as I would like after the 1st pull on a fresh load, but for me, not harsh.
I'm guessing that by "load what seems to be a half plus load" you tamped it down somewhat.I have been trying to figure out my new TI,

I get best results from zero tamping. As in is sprinkle a rough shred into mine, and it ends up not being much at all...barely a small pinch. That's how I get the best results. If you can't get medicated well from that method then I agree: your hopper is malfunctioning.
I admit to being a bit of a snob when it comes to convection, but I do have some conduction vapes too and I enjoy the different effects conduction brings to the table.
I completely agree with Vapor_eyes. While there are plenty of good conduction vapes, convection is a huge step up for me.
I must concur. After using Vaporbrothers and miVape vapes for a good long time, I've spent the last few weeks using a Focus Pro. The Focus is a great piece of kit and I enjoy it immensely, but while using it I've come to realize that for me, convection is where it's at for a few reasons, most important of which are taste and efficiency.

There has been a bit of a change. How badly doesn't it fit? Does it screw on at all?Soooo I got my replacement body in today and my mouthpiece doesn't fit. I had a TI from one of the first VapeFiend releases. Do you think they have changed since then or did they send me a SS body?
Same thing just happened to me. I wrote them about it and Caroline sent a new front end which will be here Tuesday. I'm sending both the faulty body and old (differently threaded) front end in the same return package.Soooo I got my replacement body in today and my mouthpiece doesn't fit.

How old is your front end?Same thing just happened to me. I wrote them about it and Caroline sent a new front end which will be here Tuesday. I'm sending both the faulty body and old (differently threaded) front end in the same return package.
EDIT: my old front end doesn't even start to catch the threads of the new body they sent. Looks like the new bodies have more threads at the front (by the oven) than the old ones did.
How old is your front end?
It's possible they've changed it, how annoying!
I would take a close look at the threads on the body to make sure they look fine, my mouthpiece from the start of this year fits the current body. I feel like I've heard of your issue before if it's a model from last year though
Yeah same. They don't even catch the threading at all. I really hope they ship it out fast, I miss this vape so much lol.I've been on my original hopper from mid January 2016. This is my first parts swap.
My OG front end's threads most definitely doesn't fit this new body's threads.
I'm guessing you're gonna email Caroline at ghl and ask about the different screens in your 2 gh bodies? Can you let us know what she says?I got my replacement ss body last week and observed that the screen in the body before the heater has bigger holes in it.. I can see theblue heater behind it... works great.. but alsomgot a ti replacement which has the screen with smaller holes can not see the heater trough it... (also my orginal ghs ss and ti have the screen with the smaller holes)... any suggestions... did they used the mouthpiece screen in my ss gh replacment body? should this be a problem? but the new ss gh seem to produce vapor faster... no prime draw needed... thought this is because of the screen with bigger holes...
warranty was total stress free and worked great, fast and total stress free BTW and the gh is my daily driver all other vapes also my loved nano are collecting dust or are to find in the classified section on fc... the gh is a real game changer in my opinion!
I ♡ my ghs
BTW also my front ends are fitting precisely to my replacement bodies got my original ghs on 6th june 2016
I'm sure others will be able to speak more eloquently to this than I can, but my short answer is that with convection you can really taste the herb through those first couple of hits. With my miVape, I could taste the difference between different strains. It really adds another nice dimension to the experience. With conduction, I find that the "taste" of the heat (if that makes sense) overwhelms the actual taste of the herb. Hope this helps.can somebody in short words explain to me the difference in vapor experience between conduction and convection ?
i know,
conduction is heat transmission through hot surfaces whereas convection is pure hot airstream.
but how does the vapor quality differ ?
Your Mighty is a blended convection/conduction vape. I admit I'm surprised you find the flavor better in your solo and air over your Mighty. I wonder if you would improve the Mighty's flavor by lowering its temperature.i can taste flavour with conduction (solo & air)
imho better taste than mighty (which is supossed to be a convection vape)
same herb in all three vapes

I don't think vapor quality differences are only because one vape is conduction and the other is convection.can somebody in short words explain to me the difference in vapor experience between conduction and convection ?

Unlike many, I believe that conduction has gotten an undeserved bad rap and that all the "advantages/disadvantages" of convection vice conduction are generalities at best.i can taste flavour with conduction (solo & air)
