without the spin job about how wonderful everything will now be
I just spoke with a buddy of mine who ordered a new hopper in late December. After requesting an update just this week, Olivia answered that they "would have their backlog cleared in a few weeks... and then start shipping at a regular rate"- that's been said for a few weeks already, so... otoh the expected shipping time for new hoppers is set to "two weeks". So maybe Hoppy will come back for summer?
Dammit I spoke too soon. Packed a bowl in my hopper earlier, turned it to 4, no vapor. Swapped batteries. No vapor. Turn it to 5, no vapor. Thought maybe it was my herb as it would've been my first bowl of this stuff but i just emptied the hopper and loaded the Splinter with what was in it and got a huge tasty cloud. Guess I'll start playing the waiting game with everyone else who has an out of commission hopper.Aside from my dial issue (having to twist the dial back and forth before use for full power) this has been my most reliable hopper yet. I bought it used and it's been working every day for the last 2 months.
I was there a few weeks ago, met Olivia, she is a real person. I don't know about timelines but I do know its a hive of activity. There is a beergarden/food truck park they share a building and its in my neighborhood so I'm there fairly often, they are also interested in shipping again as soon as possible and are also interested in making sure the new processes and equipment are delivering on what they are looking for. That's as much as I know, a small, local (to me company) do the best they can, they are neither runt offt nor a company with huge venture capital backing, they are exactly what they said they are, a small start-up. A small start up that in my opinion makes one of the best products in its industry, but still a small start up, can't expect them to be Apple or BMW ... who's products "never" break
Sorry to hear that. I wonder how long more mine will keep going. Getting nervous nowDammit I spoke too soon. Packed a bowl in my hopper earlier, turned it to 4, no vapor. Swapped batteries. No vapor.

They say "Estimated ship time January 2018"...
Solar chargingOh nice, 9 temp settings and a special setting for mexican weed?
Adjustable THC percentage of used herb for fine tuning?
Different efx to dial, x ./. ?
Immediate clearance of your head on demand?
integrated tax calculator?
Be funny if the results of this overhaul would be a completely different vape and this time shaped like a
for that STEALTH FEELING !!!!!!!
you folks ready for the revolution ?
Any recommendations for a safe, food grade application to buff out some scratches on a SS unit?
Lol. Yeah, I'll keep babying it in between RMA's! It has helped to think of it as 2nd string or a backup unit these day. Hopeful for HL's reincarnation and for the Hopper to regain it's foothold in the daily lineup.elbow grease ? but no idea where to buy it
also glad to see these posts in between all the true but depressing posts

Right on!Hehe yeah I love my hopper and have actual respect for the engineering of Hopper labs but maybe not their social skills but whatever, I run a small business myself and been in the service industry for nearly 20 years so I know how things can turn for even the best meaning business that might just be struggling with aspects of their operation
I hope hopper labs boat keeps afloat
I had a single hopper for 2 years ? now and had 3 warranties that only costed me the shipping and I knew what I was getting into when I bought the hopper
feel like this is more like a formula one car then some work horse 230E benz like the Enano logvape that has few and large sturdy parts
I been looking for a second portable vape and thinking about the Firewood vaporizer and that is also a even tinier company with ONE EMPLOY ! so yeah I have to calculate that into also
If I was going for a safety then I just get an Arizer solo or something like that
but that is not very exciting .. is it ?
How good would it go for Hopper labs if they advertised failure rate and the fact this is NOT a good "only vape I got" type of deal with all its kinks
but now I am just rambling because at the moment I am hitting my Hopper labs Grasshopper and its kicking my arse like ALWAYS !!!
I don't fault them for doing the best they can — and I don't doubt that they are. I just wish that instead of "a few more weeks", they'd say "a few more weeks because we have X, Y, and Z left to do before we can start refurbishing and shipping out Hoppers."
