don't wanna be negative...but...strange things begin to happen,,,,,
after using the grasshopper for about 10 times since yesterday,,,
suddenly half an hour ago:
the red heating lights did not stop anymore, the blue lights did not show up and the hopper kept on heating, the herb went black and began to burn after about 20 seconds??? turned the thing off....
i turnd it on and of several times, then it worked like it has to, but only for one heating cycle, then came the blue/red doomlights, then i pushed it on off again and the red "battery is empty" lights came around,,,,,so i turned it of, did a cleaning of the threads, did a 100 on/offs ,,,,same ritual re-began,,,,last thing i tried was turning the dial back and forth,,,,,,i don't know how many times.....and it became harder and harder to turn the dial, when i got the hopper yesterday, the dial worked like a charme, now it became very hard to turn, like if something, maybe a piece of metal that is grinded off is now stuck there somewhere between the dial and the backend?? BUT funny thing, when i then put the hopper back together,,,,,it worked again like nothing ever happened,,,,could be a false contact between the dial and the rest, also it is now set on 3 and i don't like to change the temp because now it works??!! i keep tying to find out more and tell you more later ,,,,, back to testing.............is this another hopper sadventure...
or is it the fullmoooooooooon..........making my hopper lunatic???
Modnote: back to back posts merged
okey,,,,,,now the blue lights come directly after the red light when i turn the hopper on, only takes a sec!!! to get blue but it went so hot that the herb combusted!!!! i guess this sounds like sending the backend back for replacement....hmmmmm oppper.....i'm even not angry or anything,,,,or depressed,,, about this,,,the two years of waiting made me become patient like a monk,,,smile,,,zenhopper will be zend back to boulderado colorado,,,
hasta la vista 'hopper desperado',,,,
