Don't grind too fine, as the small particles will pass through the mouthpiece's screen and you'll get a ton of particles clogging up the tip and in your mouth. It's like eating kief - gross.
Yeah that's what I was going for with the pinch's of bud. Best way to conserve flavour too, and it seems to vape it nearly just as efficiently. The whole chamber must be held at a precise temperature fairly accurately I assume. It's amazing.Don't grind too fine, as the small particles will pass through the mouthpiece's screen and you'll get a ton of particles clogging up the tip and in your mouth.

I'm going to find a tiny brush. Stuff gets stuck in the oven, and I don't trust the durability enough to tap it as hard as I would need to to dislodge the residue. At least with the mouthpiece I can blow on it and get it somewhat cleared.
Solar chargers have been out for awhile and can be had for cheap on amazon , I have been using one for awhile now out in the sun over the summer to charge my portables. What makes your different from the others that are proven and out on the market? Having a light on it would only attract unwanted attention to me while vaping. I am not trying to come off rude so please take no offense just interested in what may make this better from, whats out on the market.Greetings all HopperHeads and wannabees,
There is much chatter, and rightfully so, about the concern for always having a charged battery in order to achieve Hoppertudeness. As I wait patiently in pre-order purgatory, I have already solved the battery dilemma. Instead of a cache of batteries and external chargers, which require AC current, I am going to power-up by tapping into the Universe's largest nuclear reactor. That's right. The sun.
SNAP. I am part of a Kickstarter campaign created by an engineer and an artist: Little Sun Charge. Basically, it is a stand-alone solar charger/light, with USB power outlets for charging anything, really. Think about it: in a small compact unit you have the unlimited capability to recharge your Grasshopper. Anywhere. Anytime. They are not quite on the market yet, but check this out on YouTube.
Yeah, having a tool makes it easier to avoid impulsively blowing into the chamber.I'm going to find a tiny brush.

Dank beatssomeone posted this pretty nice nosecone video on reddit/yt:
Watch the video. You won't be able to remove the proprietary insulation in the mouthpiece and still have it function properly, the screen is a part of that piece. That piece also holds the inner cone in place. All you will be left with is a hollow mouthpiece that will heat up really fast and let all the herb be pulled into your mouth.because i cant dab on it (so they say. but i bet it is possible if that plasticy thing is taken out) or get that golden reclaim out without ISO
I had a similar issue - red/blue means temp overheating but this would happen at random times including trying to charge a cold hopper. Turning on/off helped sometimes, disconnecting/reconnecting the charging cable helped sometimes, but eventual fix was a replacement body from GHL. Hold out for shipping SS hoppers to preorders if you can to get the latest parts, then warranty.I have had the blue/red flashing lights a few times when first plugging into the magnetic charger - seems to go after a couple of seconds though and normal charging resumes (intermittent red blink).
I don't seem to be having any trouble with my unit - I hope this is not a sign that the end is nigh!
Yeah, reddit gets me sometimes too. I don't post there a whole bunch, but it's definitely strange how people will downvote entirely factual statementsI had a similar issue - red/blue means temp overheating but this would happen at random times including trying to charge a cold hopper.

Side note: finally unsubscribed from the grasshopper subReddit, thought it was useful for production tracking, but the constant down voting for just participating in conversations there got to me, feel much better w/o it, grateful for the FC community!
After some more bowls.. it's hard to say how I like to use it best. I was super keen for this for bubbler hits, but I'm not so sure it was exactly what I wanted there. Either way, I think I prefer hitting it natively, which has surprised me somewhat, it's just so tasty and good.

I do love solar power. And I'm all for empowering (pun!) third world people. But I take issue with your enthusiasm about "unlimited" "anywhere" and "anytime". It won't work at night, that's half the time. It won't work if the sun don't shine, nor indoors unless near a window. And maybe the worst, according to the engineer at the end of one of the videos, they are happy you'll be able to charge your smart phone with A DAY of sunshine.Greetings all HopperHeads and wannabees,

@slcbdco have you been by the labs recently and seen/heard about the status of the S/S case? just wondering if i should cancel it and get extra batteries instead (although I do have 4 ordered with the GH...)
TY

I have a wooden MFLB stem, and that with the silicone MP is pretty decent, speeds up the pull with less effort. I would recommend getting one to try, you might find this is the best way.
One thing that is annoying which I will point out, is the sound it makes while dragging. Fast draws are a bit screechy - but nothing too bad, just being nitpicky.
I think an adjustable airflow collar which was quiet at rapid pulls would be better.

test. I am ripped.
I think if you try to session this vape, you will get too high. It really is a one hit and good kinda deal here. I'm beginning to trip out haha

That piece also holds the inner cone in place. All you will be left with is a hollow mouthpiece that will heat up really fast and let all the herb be pulled into your mouth.
I'm pretty sure the heat from torching the mouthpiece will also warp the metal, possibly preventing it from screwing on again.
I like to use a Q-tip right after a session if its getting dirty. Its really easy to wipe out while still warm.
I'll carefully put the Q-tip in the oven slowly until it touches the screen slightly. Then I rotate the hopper as I press the Q-tip against the wall of the oven, and slowly draw the Q-tip back out.
EDIT: This will not help with residue stuck in the oven screen.
Another week another warranty request! 4 bodies, 3 back ends, 2 front ends and still without a working unit. This one lasted about 2 weeks. Worked perfect one moment, dead the next. Clicked on and was met with flashing blue lights. Now no lights will turn on at all. Sigh, guess Ill have to pay to send it back AGAIN.
