Just pre-ordered a Titanium unit, after much research and almost getting a crafty/mighty I decided that these are just much more of a tech jump forward and had to get one for my portable unit. I have enough vapes to keep me busy while I wait and hopefully all manufacturing issues/bugs get worked out. cant wait for the vape + 2 batteries to arrive

That is the worst GH review video I have ever seen. Who watches that guys videos? He makes me feel stupid.
I think you need to do a bit more research before saying this is something you "missed in school". The heat transfer coefficient of TI & SS are quite similar & without knowing the exact alloy of each you cannot say "Ti transfers a heat much better and faster"(I actually do not understand what transfers heat much better means in this case). You can say that Ti has a lower heat capacity that SS & therefore Ti heats up faster & cools down faster than SS.

This guy bothers me. Especially the way he says herb. Edit: I don't know. The longer I listen to him without having to see his face and watch his overblown mannerisms(maybe I'm being harsh here) the more reasonable he seems. Edit edit: And I love that little nexus piece he uses, I am going to acquire one if it isn't horribly expensive Edit edit edit: They are -horribly- expensive.

It's an obsession but it's pleasin'
It may be that my uncontrollable VAS is affecting my judgement, but it seems to me like GHL have turned a corner and so I have ordered myself a TI GH. As others have reported, the ship date is now March. Not a problem here since I'm rockin' my Vapor Bros box at home and my PNP DLX or miVape on the road. Can't wait to be hoppin', though.
Question: Has anybody used the GH through the Pinnacle Pro's DLX water tool?

Here's a tip (sorry) for ya': Check out some Point Tip applicators. They're just like double-ended Q-tips but the ends are pointy and the cotton is much more tightly woven, so there's less of a chance of stray fibers coming off the applicator and staying in your bowl. I found them at CVS.

Sneaky Pete say that. he is the best vape reviewer IMO. always talks sense and never caught him being wrong about something.
idea is that you can blow little herb particles inside that 3D printed heater. and not only him say this. quite sure.

I think many people beat me to it... But vape life will is the worst reviewer in the vape scene.
Like you said I feel stupid after watching his videos... (which is why I don't anymore).
He does not articulate things well, he doesn't provide reasoning or logic behind much of his statements.
His assessment of vapes are limited to statements such as "dope" or "mannnnnn".
I would not be taking anything he says as gospel... I'd take it with less than a grain of salt....
There are so many credible reviewers like Sneaky Pete and Vaporizer Wizard....and dare I say Vape Critic (even though many people here seem to despise him).
THANK YOU!!! Yes, stray fibers were a reason I would blow into the bowl. Now I know better.
In the manual, it says not to blow into the device or it will damage the device. I think it's because the battery is in line with the heater (and not completely sealed) and the hot air would travel back up and damage the battery and maybe the back end.
All I know is, with all my other vapes I religiously blow into the camber right after every use to dislodge any vaped material before it cools down and sticks.
It hasn't caused any damage to them and I wouldn't be worried. But for the grasshopper I'd probably heed their warning, especially since they specifically mentioned it for the grasshopper.

The manual states not to exhale into the vaporizer, which i'm assuming means doing so directly into the mouthpiece, and probably forcing exhaled vapour as well. Do you think a small slight puff into the bowl would really damage the heater, or probably just not worth it nor needed?

Yes. That's the only water piece I have. Works just fine. I use it with the silicone tip but it works bare too. Milk city on 4+.

I think it would be a really bad idea. You would be forcing small bits of ABV into the heater.

Ah that's a shame, you're certain they're too hot to handle? Thought we would be past this issue with new backends...
And Garlic Cookies?! Never make me any baked goods pleaselol I think you meant GSC yeah? Loved that strain, been a long time since I've had some now though
Lol Garlic Cookies is a local Michigan strain. I believe the genetics are some seriously funky pheno of Chemdawg x GSC. Favorite cookie cross ever. Tested as high as 30% from the one spot I get it from.
I forgot to add this part earlier:
After a good session drawing really hard, yeah the clip ring is pretty hot. Hot enough for me to pull away if I hold it there too long. I don't use the silicone MP so I am pretty accustomed to the heat this thing gives off. In my experience with my device the back end is comparable in heat to the front end after a session. Hoping to have a new back end to run a test or two with.

Well think about it - the vaporizer is designed so cold air enters through the top of the heater, and warm air goes out the bottom of the heater. Anything below the heater was designed to be exposed to heat since that's the direction of airflow.
Blowing into the vaporizer is pushing hot air out the intake holes - while it *shouldn't* do any damage, the vaporizer was not designed or heat to exit in this direction. I would never blow into a grasshopper, especially while the vaporizer is running.
That said, I feel like any ABV or debris blown into the heater should be able to come out the next time you take a hard rip, right?

that
i think that this should be asked to HopperLabs. confused now. agree, exhaling and blowing in is a two different things. better to make sure about this. i wouldn't risk blowing anywayz. while not confirmed that it is safe.

yup. safer is to use a brush when at home. on a go- just let those crumbs be! will clean them latter. its not like they gonna burn or spoil a taste of a new load. blowing ABV out is just an old habit to be changed when using GH.
theoretically you can suck not blow all that herb leftovers out and eat it!
why not? nobody have died when doing so.

Euhhmm how about just have an empty chamber when blowing into it? That would at least eliminate all possibility of abv getting into the heater...

That's what I did. emptied, but there was always a residual bit of abv. Pretty sure that blowing into a clean non-abv lined bowl isn't a great idea either. Could be a thermal shock that causes damage.
EDIT: Just re-read the manual, and it states not to use the GH in temperatures outside of the range of 0-32c. I guess I can't use the GH outdoors in the winter nor summer?

next gadget would be a GH case keeping your unit at desired temp!
I read about that range of temp as well and I was a bit shocked since the temps during the summer where I live at are much higher than 32C... I will be carrying it in an ice bucket or sth.. LOL

Duuude... let us have our 1st one shipped first and then you can order your backup one...
ps: I bet that the "backup" will be a Ti model, right?

Cleaning is mad easy. Just drop the mouthpiece in some iso for a little while and put a piece of paper towel or something that was soaked in iso into the bowl for 5 minutes or so. I also use a little brush that I bent into a J to clean out the bowl and mouthpiece lightly after every use. It only takes 5 seconds, makes it easier to do a deep cleaning, and it helps keep the mouthpiece from getting gunked up and losing airflow. Total cleaning time: 6 Minutes, most of which is spent waiting.
