Something like this could/might be modified or used as a guide to make our own cases:

@Shrike thanks. I did not know the original design had any issues. I was concerned that the hopper may short out if the ss case was not lined with some material. I saw a video on youtube that showed the back portion of the hopper sparking when touched with a piece of wire or paper clip.
@TanukiCoast I was thinking the same thing as far as a cigar tube. I have also been looking into pen holders. Perhaps a double pen holder...one side for the hopper and one side for a stash tube.

I've got bad news and good news: My back end popped apart saturday; I filled out a form online and had an address confirmation by monday, a shipping confirmation on wednesday, and my grasshopper was functional again just six days later. The new rear end arrived yesterday, so great service from hopper labs!
Was the back end that broke the old style, with the seam?

Yes the new one looks different, the old one literally popped open:
Does the dial ring rotate 360 degrees? The first warrantied backend did that, and looked less severe.
Edit: Also, in the 3(?) months I've had my replacement body I've noticed minimal scratching on my SS Grasshopper. The backend has nil as do both mouthpieces.

On the replacement? No it pretty much just goes from 1 - 5.
I'm definitely not going to try and force it any further!

In regard to the discussion about smell before, I've found that the Hopper itself has very little smell, even only a few minutes after being used. However, the silicone mouthpiece does get a scent after a while, and I've found it to be noticeable from a foot or so away.

A small glass mouthpiece would be amazing, something like the ones this ceramic donut uses:

Like putting a silicone piece over mouthpiece and also attach it to the solo stem?

Dr. Vape said that it wont do. because silicone session extender is not holding on Hopper tight enough. he suggested this silicone tube http://vaporfection.com/shop/accessories/medical-grade-hose
and off course, you always can use your both hands. Hopper in one hand, glass piece in other. hold them together- and enjoy!
one more note. i like to use Arizer glass because those straws are long enough to do my beloved reclaim dabs. i'm connecting them to a rig, and torching them up.

Yes I should've been clear. I meant to say you slip the silicone over the grasshoppers mouthpiece and leave enough room to also slip it over the solo stem. The way Dr.Vape attached his other pieces.

I was thinking about something smaller, just a small mouthpiece with an oring or 2 that you can put over the original mouthpiece instead of the silicone or in place of the mouthpieces with an screen inside the glass mouthpiece. Not sure if I expressed myself right, english isn't my main language 
I think that would help with the "heating" problem and will be easier to clean too
So far, the only problem I have found with this vaporizer it's the mouthpiece getting unconfortable hot in just 4 draws or less depending on the temp you're using. Appart from that I totally love it!

I like the idea of using something else with a screen in the place of the metal Grasshopper mouthpiece. That could be very interesting.
I've been using these instead of the regular session extender for a while now, and they cool the vapor a little as well as protect your mouth from the hot metal mp.
One on the left is a glass joint from a 'Storm' vaporizer adapter, and the right is a glass MP from a 'dabstorm' concentrate pen and the one I use more often.

Theres definitely a variation in back ends. I was sent the new style a couple of weeks back then I received another one in the post yesterday unexpectedly. It works like it used to now!

Yes! Exactly something like that but a bit wider so it can work with just and oring inside. And if it was possible to put a screen inside and just use it instead of the original mouthpiece that would be perfect!

My point being; there's still back end issues, even with the new style

Where have you seen reports of that- is that what you were referring to above?

Because Ive have two, one works noticeably better than the other.

Well the obvious thing to do in this situation would be to send the crappy one to someone... And like, I mean, if I have to take one for the team, I'll totally be the unfortunate soul that has to put up with the crappy one. :sigh: The sacrifices I make for you people...
