Well worn
Here is ABV from one chamber I took up to 5, I've separated it as you can see some is a lot darker than other bits. Would you say this is normal?
My ABV has never looked like that coming out of my Grasshopper.

Bowl ≠ BowelSo I've had my hopper for long enough I feel I can do a preliminary thoughts post. For background, I am a light user, 3 to 4 sessions a week on average. Usually 1 bowel per session shared between two people. Mostly my experience with vaping is limited to portables, though I have tried a desktop or two. My "daily" driver for years has been the og firefly. With that context in mind, most of what I will speak too will be a comparison between them.
Firstly I would like to say I was straight up shocked how even the abv is. Especially impressive since it's a full convection vape. Coming from the firefly, it is nice not to have to stir. When I dumped the abv after the first use, I tried to identify which material was closer to the heater. It was, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable.
It is quite a powerful, effortless vape. With the firefly I feel I have to coax it for vapor. The GH delivers volumus vapor on demand, independent of technique. Load, rip, done in minutes. I was able to hit it at 5 natively. It was doable but not pleasant. I attribute this ability to draw denser/hotter vapor with relatively less discomfort to the heater. It has the ability to keep up with however fast I can draw against the resistance. This allows more of a puffing motion then a prolonged draw. I'm guessing the reduced discomfort is from vapor exposure time of 5 to 10 seconds with the GH vs 15 to 30 seconds with the firefly.
Taste is where the ff clearly wins. The GH is not bad, especially on lower settings. But at the functional settings (3 and up), it's merely "meh". I wish the GH had a model that was focused more on quality vapor over stealth. I would be excited to see what they could come up with without the restriction of a stealthy form.
I can't speak of the battery life because I only use one bowel then it's back on the included USB charger. In fact I have not even opened the backend, for all I know it runs on rainbows and sunshine.
Because of the convenience and extraction power, I believe the GH will be my new "daily" driver.

It's quite possible that percentage is not including hoppers destroyed by accidental user error."I was told on delivery that they are down to under 5% failure rate now. Which is below industry standards. This coming directly from Trevor at Grasshopper. So let hope!"
That's on reddit from theherbcafe vendor. I think that's hilarious and I'm guessing it's about as accurate as their shipping estimates have been.
Dug this up....has the video I referenced previously. Also pretty sure that both of my new Hoppers are newer stock - they both had GHB2 batteries. More testing....something is definitely up with both of these new backends. It's as if they cook the load a little slower to start or something...wondering if the temp programming has changed at all, otherwise my backends are just sensitive/finic
I've had the blue flickering on mine from the start. I have 4 different GHB2 and they all act the same. Started a RMA and Caroline linked me to the tips n tricks which helped a little but not much. Gonna soldier on for a few more days then check back with her.

That's all they'd have with the latest batch, seeing as they sold out before and get them direct from the manufacturer. I think Vapefiend still has old stock floating, which have older chargers and GHB1s.
My 2s are holding up well. One battery saw me through two days for the first time ever last week
That's interesting. Perhaps USPS has changed their regulations for the new year.Caroline got back to me and I have to add batteries to account before Caroline enables free shipping on my account and invoices me separately for DHL shipping to Australia.
"Hi There,
We are only shipping GHB2 Batteries now. We are happy to send you some in Australia, but we must do so with DHL as regulations have changed. This shipping option has not been added to the website yet, so I will need to invoice you for shipping costs after the order is placed. Please go ahead and add the Batteries you want to your cart on GHVape.com and then I will enable free shipping. Once that is done, you can proceed to checkout. I will then send you an invoice via PayPal for DHL shipping costs after I get a quote together for that cost.
If you want to proceed, let me know when the Batteries are in your cart.
Best,
Caroline"

Let us know what the price comes to with DHL, I paid $10 USD postage for my 5 batteries before
I am wondering this myself. Just recently I've been saying positive things about the new backend temp dial feeling so smooth, but it delivers very thin clouds; swapping an older backend proved that out to me, so I had to send the whole unit in --- and I hope that it's not just that the calibration is different. It would suck if GHL sent it back saying it was fine. I can't get more than a wisp of vapor at T4, and T5 wasn't super either.
I did get my order sent with warranty parts, so I guess I might have just paid a bit on topWow I paid $28 for 4 and shipping was $25 back in August. I got ripped!
A contest begins...I have now had 9 hoppers stop working since April 2016. can anybody beat that? lol..
Yes, but I'll have to give details later.I have now had 9 hoppers stop working since April 2016. can anybody beat that? lol..
Of course they have!Has anyone gotten one that worked, and kept working?
Don't worry - it's more common than you think. In fact, anally vaping is actually a prerequisite to becoming a member here at FC in the first place!If you're not rectally vaping, you're missing out!
@VegNVape
Nothing like a night with a forced air vape, silicon hose and a well lubed butthole.
But feel like I am getting so bloated, might just be a gluten allergy
