Discontinued The Grasshopper

[JJ420]

Man I dunno.. is the Ti a plating or just a mere finish? Surely the "Ti" Hopper cannot be turned out of a billet of solid Titanium. Cost to manufacture would be too prohibitive...

Anywho I do have to say the SS hopper would be a great choice. I am a machinist for my job and can attest to the beautiful turning work done on this thing. Doesn't it have a 3D-printed heating element as well? It looks good!

The thin outer shell alone is what is made out of titanium, and it is most definitely substantial enough to lower the weight significantly. I cant understand why users are reporting different vape temperature, as the isolated innards are exactly the same up to the mouthpiece tip, unless of course the titanium has a distinct conductivity through the differing metals of the back end (which is most likely a potentiometer). I also lathe stuff every now and then and am regretting not ordering one of each if only just to compare - went instead for two TI units.

I learned from you guys though, I need to put a video of mine through a bubbler still. Especially to show @biohacker

Looking forward bro.... I tried using less material, slower draw, etc. and it just would not milk up to my liking. I tried different grind consistencies, basically did all the same testing that I did for my original defective hot "one temperature (max)" and max temp on your GH was definitely not as hot as my OG (defective). Perhaps the OG since it was fucked, was "too hot", but that's the temp ceiling i'm looking for in a GH.

From your usage patterns (from what i've read), it sounds like i'm a heavier power user than you, I can rip massive bowls in one rip, and as @grokit just mentioned, it's more of an intense one hitter - and i'm more of a higher temp session guy. That bowl is super small.

Looking forward to the GH mass release hopefully soon! As soon as PIU stocks 'em, i'll be surely picking up another one (or two) to test if the prices are reasonable.

In the meantime all my expectations for flavour, vapour quality, and fast extraction have been exceeded with the new Supreme v.3. Obviously apples to watermelons, but until the summer I don't require an outside of the house portable.

Snap...more expensive but beats shipping to US just in case

Nice! Glad you were able to grab one, they sold out super quickly. Congrats, you're going to love it.

Clouds and pack are inverse proportional. Pack less and you get more clouds and better flavor and no matter what always loose. I get best results with just pinching a bit of a bud and finger grinding into the grasshopper.

This sounds very illogical, but worth a try. For my Dabuddha it definitely works the other way.

Thanks, can't wait to have it in my hands and start the testing

Nar not sold out...they are releasing 20 a day (10 in the morning and 10 at night) for an unspecified period of time, to give evryone a chance.

I personally don't think it's worth the extra $150 (over preorder) but I'm happily sipping on my crafty, so I can wait

Each to their own though, not having a go at anyone who does give in.
I know I would love to have one right now.

That's why I bought it. Vapefiend is my favourite shop in EU they always takee care of me

Please post some reviews tomorrow, will love to know how this batch GH work. I'm in Spain in holidays and my unit is gonna take a few days to arrive.

Think of the hopper as more of an intense one-hitter than a bowl/session vape.

exactly! the Hopper is one hit wonder. perfect load for the Hopper is as much as you can inhale at once.

i'm not sure about grind though. very different feedbacks. some say it is better to use rough grind, some prefer fine powder. i guess that powder can get into the heater and stuck in da mouthpiece sieve as well, which is kinda no bueno. so maybe using both grinds are a way to go? like a sandwich. rough grind at the top and bottom, fine one (or kief) in da middle, perhaps.

Vapefiend works out at about £50 more expensive than the one i have on pre-order but, for me, the clincher, is having UK based warranty returns. More on sale later today and tomorrow for people who cant wait.
Looking forward to the Postman tomorrow

Hello Everyone

Has anyone noticed that HL/grasshopper has tweeted that pre-orders are shipping as of February 23 2016? I hope we all get our hoppers soon. And yes backers deserve to be in front of the delivery line.

 

[vapen00b]

@VapeFiend.com Can you confirm you guys gonna do the warranty claim and everything with GHL? I thought one would have to register at GHL to get the lifetime warranty. But that way, we had to deal with everything on our own..? Would be great to hear an official statement.

Thanks, you guys - like your service a lot and thinking about getting it from you being in the EU.

 

[KBecks]

And yes backers deserve to be in front of the delivery line.

What do you mean by this? Backers have already received their units. Preorders started posting shipping confirmation on the 23rd, so that lines up with GH's claim.

I think that what he means is that VF deserve their units because they're backers, not preorders. And I think the same.

Yes, I don't think anyone was debating this...I think there was some confusion that some people didn't realize these were retail backers, not retail pre-orders.

  They don't do too many social media updates but they posted this on their facebook pageyesterday:
  
  "Reporting to you from Hopper Labs: HUGE thanks to all of our Indiegogo Backers who waited patiently for their Grasshoppers. We have successfully fulfilled all our rewards!!! Each Backer was sent an address confirmation email. If you did not receive your address confirmation email, please send me an email at Support@GrasshopperVape.com and I can assist you personally.
  
  We have begun shipping pre-orders!!! Another HUGE thank you to all the pre-order folks who have been patiently awaiting the arrival of their Grasshoppers. We are cruising through the pre-orders quickly and hope to have your Hoppers in your hands shortly.
  
  We, at Hopper Labs, know that this could not have been done without the support of our loyal and patient customers; Indiegogo Backers and Pre-orders alike. We can not thank you enough!
  
  Now, back to work shipping Grasshoppers! - The Team"

How exactly would that work? At this point, no retailer is going to have enough stock to replace a broken unit. It's still going to have to come from HL, which is not going to be fast. Guess you would save a bit on shipping if you only had to send it back to the place you bought it, but I'm not sure that's even how it would work- for the warranty you still have to register it with HL here in the US.

For those of you that bought Gh at Vapefiend, were they selling colored ones too or just plain Ti?
@biohacker Yeah I understand what you mean, I am not a real heavy user. I can get medicated with small amounts of herb and the GH is perfect for that. It's not perfect for long sessions because it gets warm but it is capable. I think it can keep up with me more than I can keep up with it. It's so practical for me at the moment and I'm glad I have it. When I want sessions I can still pull out my other vaporizers. About it not getting to the higher temperatures you want/are looking for. I can make my ABV really dark, almost black, but I just don't really like the taste. It's like when I use my Pax2 I never use the last petal because I feel like the taste is borderline combustion. Thanks again for letting me enjoy this GH at all times of the day, it's just so convenient. I will try and get a video of it in action by Friday. I have a busy day today.

Just the plain TI for this first batch.

I like that pre-order's will be receiving a free extra battery for the delay , here is to hoping they actually put it in the box and that our estimated ship dates are actually correct and not changed again.

I believe! Lol. I know it's hard to believe the estimated shipping dates but here's to "hopping" they got it together already.

@Mangos Thanks cool username, love Mangos.

@b0 It's going to be cloudy with a chance of GH's. You're going to love it once you get the hang of it. The convince and taste make this device hard to beat. I've been using it non stop, it amazes me how fast it medicates.

I hope so! I want this vape to take the place of my already sold ESV: quick on demand unsuspicious convection hits everywhere and Pax2: Pen to take on my travels on plane without no one even asking what's that on my backpack. In fact I'm planning to sell my Pax2 in a couple weeks if the GH delivers.

I want it so bad that upgraded my shipping to Fedex and it seems like it's gonna be here tomorrow!

Oh nice, didn't know FedEx was an option, thought they only offered usps first class, or pay extra for usps priority...

No signature required i hope
