I think that's the case ... it's shipped "UPS Mail Innovations" which is an economical UPS option. From the UPS Mail Innovations site:thats what im getting at, the date on the tracking page says the 21st but nothing has happened since then, is it not updating the tracking?
I think that's the case ... it's shipped "UPS Mail Innovations" which is an economical UPS option. From the UPS Mail Innovations site:
"UPS Mail Innovations is a high-volume mailing service provider offering an efficient and effective way of delivering your mail."
It's sort of like the USPS Small Packet International ... all tracking stops at the border ... since it's economical they don't offer tracking past the border. (All my USPS shipments from GH, whether I've received them or not, still show as "Processed through facility" for the ISC San Francisco facility .... that's where the tracking ends ... sometime a week or two or more after that it gets to my door)
It's specifically with this service. This is a "cheap" option, and it specifies that it doesn't offer tracking past the border for most countries. If they shipped with a more expensive USPS option that did offer the tracking, then it would be fine.I am from europe and was able to track via usps (also small packet international)...
I also have made bad experience with canadian post (boarder) may0be it is the fault of canadian post or the canadian post does not offer tracking for usps available...
may I ask you when did you order your pfe...
usps did oast 7 to 15 days from us to eu...
BTW did someone order pfe and batteries and already got their shipping confirmation...
I ordered on monday... think was one of the first who ordered the pfe...
do someone know if HL have batteries in stock... or are they again waiting to receive a new batch of batteries.. and lied on me -》 HL website said 2 to 3 days estimated shipping for batteries...
I hate waiting...waited one and more or less a half year for my hoppers.. hoped the waiting game is done..
You're just making me more and more anxious! And I highly doubt I'll have it before April as it shipped on the 22nd ... unless the UPS Mail Innovations is much faster than the USPS Small Packet ... we'll see! ... I just can't take the wait! (the need to constantly refresh the tracking information isn't there though as I know it won't ever update!)I received a new PFE about an hour ago and I think I'm going to love it.
Nice weight to it; it changes the way Hopper feels to hold. Some may not like heavier, but I don't mind.
My main wish has been granted, it appears. There is only a screen and no funnels or extra parts. The screen is housed inside a ring, which is presumably threaded in like in the standard mp. Which begs the question, "Could one swap this type of no nonsense screen into a standard mp?"
As already mentioned above it looks like cleaning will be very easy.
Overall fit and finish are about perfect, in my estimation.
First bowl was done dry on 4, and it's true, it does stay a little cooler on the lips plus the draw is more open.
Big clouds both dry and with water piece but I can't say "more than" or "less than" just two chambers in.
If you have been on the fence about this piece, I can give some assurance that it does work as advertised! and is well worth having. I'm glad I waited, having been so tempted to have an extra mp for cleaning rotation, and now this fits the bill with performance upgrade!

Welcome to the gh family!@Southern Chef gifted me his Grasshopper and I received it today. What a generous guy. I will be testIng it out later. He also gave me 2 batteries and a mouthpiece. I have 3 batteries on the way that I bought from GH. I should be set for awhile far as batteries are concerned.
I'm thinking @DDave Mi V2 cooler with this will make a nice dry/cool combo on the go with no extra parts needed!
I agree, the screen does seem to be installed from the front. And it doesn't seem to be 'screwed' into the mp threads. I used my tweezers and the screen spins freely, as if in a groove(?) or race. The solid disk that is visible looking from back to front does not spin with the screen. I don't want to pull on the screen atm, I just got this thing! I note that the PFE does still thread nicely onto the body, so this small slop in the screen fitting seems normal.As for the screen, mine looks like it may have been pushed in from the mouthpiece end? Looking inside the mouth piece, the screen looks like it has 3 "tabs" pushed up around the edge as if they were being used to create something digging into the sides to hold it in place. Like inexpensive spring steel fasteners that you push over rods and such. This would match the 6-7 pairs of lines scratched into the inside walls. These lines are the same width apart as those tabs. I can feel ever so slightly that they are scratches, but I don't think they will cause any problems including extra cleaning. They're not deep enough.
Just got my shipping confirmations for my 2 SS RMA's and my PFE. Should be here on Tuesday.![]()
Hey all-
Saw a member posting in the VapCap thread playing around with heat shrink, which reminded me I'd been meaning to post this for a while. Those of you worried about scratches, I think this is a reasonably aesthetic solution. A small length of 3/8" heat shrink tubing on the clip will protect your baby from any harm. Always reversible if it doesn't work for you...
Light wasn't the greatest, that's a purple Ti. Hope that helps!
Yes, they sent out the shipping confirmation email to me today. I checked the tracking and my package left HL today too.did they send you the shipping confirmation today?
How about some pics down both ends of the barrel please.
