You sir, are a trooper indeed. Patience of a saint would be putting it lightly!
haha, they don't give a flying fuck.. did they do anything extra for you for your 20 RMA's?
With respect to the Dr Dabber, apparently those atomizers can never really be cleaned properly? And they don't last very long before breaking down and needing replacement. Glad you have a stealthy option though, probably even more effective than a GH.
Thanks for your contribution bro, I have always empathized with your RMA woes...and respect your patience.
I hope not a used one!!?
i love mineHello, you recommend this vaporizer to buy? I want it to be secret, but a little afraid of battery life. What is design? On device is something that is often unreliable or can break?
When this unit isn't a faulty one they work exceptional. Be prepared to utilize the warranty if you buy one. Possible not all the bugs are worked out. Some folks have had very little problems but others have had to send theirs back 4 or 5 times. It does have a lifetime warranty but you will need to pay for some shipping.Hello, you recommend this vaporizer to buy? I want it to be secret, but a little afraid of battery life. What is design?

Read through the thread you will see there are still ssues but not as many as they had 6 months ago. Hopefully the company will eventually get things all worked out. I love mine but am prepared to send it back if I have problems. I was gifted mine used from a friend and paid for the $45 change of ownership.
I like using mine with a water tube type of water tool. It hits pretty hard that way.
JCat: (shakes head, gives up, and bends over)
Still very much love this device ... the company's disregard for its customers is outstanding though ... I can't think of a company I've ever dealt with that in this situation wouldn't offer some form of compensation or extra fast shipping or something in a similar situation.Classic bro!
The ride? Fun? Remember?
If you can have some patience about need for service, and this would be a second vape, I say go for it. I have not recommended this as a first nor as only vape, mainly because of the reliability issues. The warranty goes a long way toward lessening the stress.hello, thank you for your review. Now I used to arizer solo. but it is not much traveling in my pocket. Now I have quit smoking altogether and seeking a companion in my pocket. I do not want to make it seem that I carry in my pocket vibrator .. :-) deciding between grassopper, Vapir Prima, boundles cfc
Dude, you don't even own a hopper anymore.. do you have a vendetta against this company or something? ..Why do you feel as if only Hopper should have a disclaimer? What about every other vape company who's products are subject to failure with a 1-2yr warranty(end up in the vapeyard ) and who have a much worse communication track record. Everyone wants to compare Hopper to large companies such as Pax and S&B when a better comparison would be Evoke..Very well said @vapviking even though I know you won't read this because you block my posts, that is a very concise summary that would reflect my own opinions and experiences as well.
Actually, I feel like it should be some sort of disclaimer and highlighted for new potential customers!
Buyer beware and know the score!

Hopper is moving forward, you're still living in the past my man.
You should always "know the score" when buying any product.
It's up to the customer to due diligence and I always do by contacting the company/seller I'm buying from first.
You're claims of not being able to withstand heavy usage are false.
You're claims of bad batches are also false.
Not sure if you're aware but you're spreading misinformation.
Yes. They have. My SS Hopper came back from an RMA (which costs ~$25 for me to send and is a 3 week round trip after 1 week of use total), and it was worse (much worse, worked less than 50% of the time), upon return. I have been nothing but courteous and asked nicely more than once for them to do something (as they messed up here). I actually just wanted them to cover less than half of the extra for return priority shipping ($9), and they outright refused. So when Hopper Labs messes up, the customer pays. All I was asking for was a "token" that they care, couldn't get that out of them.Dude, you don't even own a hopper anymore.. do you have a vendetta against this company or something? ..Why do you feel as if only Hopper should have a disclaimer?

It's up to the customer to due diligence and I always do by contacting the company/seller I'm buying from first. That's my advice when dealing with any company. It never hurts to throw an introduction email out there with concerns you may have and that way you know what you're getting into and have somewhat of a track record with the company you may purchase from. "Hey hey hey, back when i first contacted you, you said shipping was going to be free/cost for a warranty claim". Otherwise you're just going to be making assumptions about how the company conducts its activities.
I fully stand behind Hopper and their products. My stainless has worked flawlessly since day one, sold my Ti to a buddy(no issues either), and I've been using and abusing this thing with an avg of 20 bowls a day.
@biohacker You're claims of not being able to withstand heavy usage are false. You're claims of bad batches are also false. Not sure if you're aware but you're spreading misinformation.
@JCat - Speaking on others behalf, you claim Hopper Labs has no regard for their customers. Curious, have they mistreated you in anyway?
It's just the paranoia from too much long-term cannabis use!biohacker you ever get the feeling everyone`s out to get you?
Anything else you'd like to add to the convo?
i don't get your logic.
another assumption of the great biohacker??

Hopper Labs personally told me there have been various revisions to the product before replacing my unit, that never really lasted more than 3 weeks at a time, with a new revised version. I don't think this is surprising news considering many people have noted differences between the old ones and the new ones.
Getting 2 doesn't necessarily solve the problem since round trip is 3 weeks for RMA if I'm lucky. If you live down the street from them it completely changes everything (means you save up to hundreds of dollars and months of downtime every year vs us International customers ... free trade isn't helping much! )Between those vapes I would chose the Grasshopper. By the time those other vapes warm up you can take a grasshopper hit, be high and have it back in your pocket.
Here Here, It as is the grasshopper is the only vape to break or portable vapes are an old technology. Well bicycles still break and in the new exciting vape and particularly portable vape space, expectations need to be realistic.
With the exception of the vivape2 which I probably just didn't use enough, EVERY vape i've had has had at least one RMA issue.
OG Pax- sent it back because it stopped working and it was replaced. Subsequently sold it to a friend for $20
Pax2- sent it back because the button stopped working. It works fine now but I haven't used it in a few months.
OG Firefly - Just stopped working and sent it back, worked "fine" (read I know people can get great hits from it, my technique was hit or miss but great flavor) now in the evidence locker in some county sheriff in Iowa (the cop looked right past both grasshoppers and my pax2 but called out the firefly incase any question about how discrete the grasshopper or the pax2 to its credit are.
Elo- I forgot about the elo, weird little device, never broke but never really worked well either and the company didn't either as it's gone now.
MiVape- probably one of the best vapes that never caught on, great flavor but the door broke almost right away, cosmetic so I never fixed it. Can't remember the last time I used it, it's a lot of effort so even thought it's a pleasant vaping experience it doesn't get used much as in once every few months.
Firefly 2- easier to use than FF1 and great flavor, just really not worth the effort in my opinion when one has a perfectly good grasshoppper right there! I hadn't used the FF2 in awhile and wanted to try some concentrates only to discover the FF2 had broken from LACK OF USAGE! I have two baterries, both charge and are charged, it does it's orange glow but it won't vape flower or concentrate at any temp setting .... also fuck the app I know realize. I suppose I will do a warranty since the damn thing costs more than both my grasshoppers did, if there's any vape I actually think is junk though it's definitely the FF2 even with that amazing flavor when it works, you can achieve that with a grasshopper on low temps. As for concentrates, I got a bee nail and never looked back. I usually only Dab at home and with access to concentrates of the same strain, I really think a grasshopper flower hit at the right temp rivals the or is maybe better than the flavor from a dab, but again temperature is a big factor.
Davinci IQ- It has replaced my pax2 as my session vape. For me a session vape is used primarily for vaping tobacco and mixed herbs. My friends that haven't bought grasshoppers are smokers so when they come over the ONLY vape the are interested in is the Grasshopper and usually through a bong. The IQ malfunctioned a few times almost right away so I sent it back and now it's fine except for some quirks which I can live with for now. I also like how it's usuable without the app cus fuck apps.
Grasshopper- yeah it breaks. How often? Partly because:
a. Who cares I have two
b. I haven't smoked cannabis on my own in the 2 years I've had a grasshopper and even with my other vapes I use the grasshoppper 90% of the time.
c. I live down the street from HL and will sometimes get a perfectly good component replaced with a updated or experimental version, some of which broke others were better, others worse so it's hard to trace back my OG unit for reliability because I usually have some specie of non-production spec
All that said, the most important aspect of the grasshopper as compared to all my other vapes is that I USE IT! I love using my grasshopper, I like cannabis but love it through my grasshopper. Unlike my other vapes, which always felt a little like novelty items, the grasshoppper is the first vape that i really enjoy MORE than smoking, for flavor, effect and experience.
The ananlogy I always make is with BMW, sure it costs more to fix a BMW than a Toyota. Both will need breaks at some point the difference is while it doesn't need brakes which is most of the time, would you rather be driving a BMW or a Toyota?
If you don't mind a Toyota, buy all means get the venture capital backed pax3 which "probably" won't break if you want to drive a BMW and meanwhile support a small company, not backed by big tobacco VC backed company selling devices that cost $4 to make plus $90 per unit of marketing for a $260 device or whatever they sell them for, instead a small startup assembling a high quality device with high quality and custom parts in the US with skilled workers (I've seen the asambly room with my own eyes) with a LIFETIME warranty and constant innovation then BMW err Grasshopper is for you!
And if you're worried about your grasshopper breaking, just get two!
Seriously flawed advice IMO.And if you're worried about your grasshopper breaking, just get two!
