I actually get my isopropyl from an electronics store, it's definitely the go to. It's a good place to source it as it's relatively pure and concentrated. But it can cause problems if care isn't takenISO 99% and blow with air-compressor or canned air

I regularly clean electronics with ISO without problems

I don't frequent FC as much as I used to, and haven't read through the Grasshopper thread in a very long time.
I received my leather sleeve with my Ti preorder in June 2016.
I believe I preordered March 2015.
But I was an early pre-order who purchased a Ti unit that was supposed to come with a leather case which was supposed to be shipped after the fact as they weren't available at the time the pre-orders were being released.
I never ever did get my leather case sent to me and I see that they are available in the store right now.
Has this happened to anyone else as well?
I don't want to review the several hundred pages since I was last on this thread ....so my apologies if this issue has already been covered previously; or, if it is a well known fact that no pre-orders got their free leather case with their Ti units shipped to them.
EDIT: OK....only had to go back a few pages to see that there are others in the same boat as I am in. But if there are any early pre-orders who received their free leather case that came with early Ti pre-orders then it sure would be great if they posted that they did.
That's lucky, but maybe not overly so ... "weekly" is not very often, many of us, if using the device as our daily driver, may use it 10-20 times per day; I would avg at about 15 ... so if I was to use it for a month as my main driver, it would see 450 sessions in a month ... >5,000 sessions in a year. If you are using it weekly, even say twice a week, then it would take you >4.5 years to get to 1 month of my usage! so maybe not surprising that yours are still working? My Ti unit has been many times better than my SS unit, and it has only gone back for servicing a handful of times in the last 9 months ... generally getting >1 month of solid performance before having to be sent back ... so apples to apples ... my Ti unit is lasting as well as yours is (at least if you measure it in sessions and not calendar days)I'm an early bird backer with two original Ti units that have worked perfectly since day one. It's to bad GHL is still having so much trouble with new product. I keep my GH in rotation and use it weekly and still like it a lot . thankfully , I cancelled my stainless case early on and ordered a beautiful leather case from Ratchet at delta3studios. good luck everyone
10-20 hopper sessions a day?
one hopper load is 0.1g
dude, thats 2g of weed a day.
I would transform into an amoeba if i did this for two days in a row.
really? Wow, I'm also in the .1 - .15 g range for a full GH load....no tamping as its convection..1?!?!?!?! My hopper holds ~.25-3
I10 would be in the low side and 30 on the high side. I go through 50-90g per month depending on my current state; been this way for many, many years (at least the last 6-7 consecutive and most of the last 20)
im in the .15 avg range I think. So 15 bowls a day is about 2.25g .... seems about right..1?!?!?!?! My hopper holds ~.25-3

All desktops I've owned ... to be fair, I've never had a portable permanently displace any desktops until the GH!Just out of curiosity , which vapes have held up best to that much workload ?
Googling around while on the throne, here is a hopper lab article I never seen before.
https://companyweek.com/company-profile/hopper-labs
Interestingly they talk about have sold 40,000 units back in 2016
A lot of returns it feels like but they keeping afloat?
Very mysterious company
EDIT: wrote 60.000 units by mistake
It should be fairly safe to do with straight to blue, but compressed air is safer.
I decided to contact Caroline - explicitly to respond to an old mail about the leather sleeve and she confirming it would be shipped once they have them (back in 16 I guess...GHL enquiries never become old, huh?! ).
She didn't reply to this email - but instead I received an address confirmation mail. Immediately confirmed - and no anything for about a week or even 10'days. So I wrote her again, telling her I had confirmed my address, like I did.
This time I got an answer: Sorry, sorry... Bleeblahbluh.. it will ship out today.
That was two days ago - no shipping confirmation mail or tracking ID yet.
So I asked for that today... That's the current state.
I've used my Milaana nearly every day multiple times a day since it was released for public sale for the first time. No signs of wear or degradation in any way. Working just as good as the first day I got it. Wouldn't trade it for any vape on the market. Definitely check it out if reliability (or flavor) is one of your main concerns.Just out of curiosity , which vapes have held up best to that much workload ?
I believe it is a desoldering tool. It would vacuum the solder being removed.Thing 1: Thanks for this post, HJ!! It's so good to get some kind of look inside the brain-trust...
This is IMO definitely an "assembly and test" operation ONLY. I certainly hope those pictures are old, because I don't like thinking that the one long-view picture is the entire operation. I can just imagine it that way, tell the truth.
Thing 2: Can someone describe what is going on here? This appears to be a monster soldering iron being applied to the PCB assembly in the battery compartment. But maybe it's not a soldering iron... it is a bit weird at the tip. But what is it if it isn't a soldering iron? And if it IS, then maybe I should ask, "What's wrong with this picture?". Someone, please make sense of this picture for me!
So this compressed air thing.... You mean shoot the air into the side-holes?? Like, balls-out brute force air or feather it in those holes gently-like??
Jesus that read like a full-time job there. Shameful service. Luckily (knock wood), I haven't had crazy-making communications like that with her... But yeah, you really have to be pro-active in the approach to communicating with her/them.

As others have said, that is a heat gun.Someone, please make sense of this picture for me!
Same!I'll be happier than a kid in a candy shop if I can get a GH that doesn't have a hot back end, doesn't flash on the first pull of a fresh battery, and lasts at least 3 2-3 hit bowls.
Interestingly enough, those kind of devices would be the most expensive, most accurate convection vapes.I think it's a new vaporizer construction of GHL for vaping rosin chips w/o need to load them!
