Discontinued The Grasshopper

[JoeMama]

answer is positive for this one! watch this

fingerprints are very visible on camera under proper light.

This video is great! And the full GH demo video is really worth watching for a look at the battery capability of the GH. And, it's hilarious watching these two guys toast themselves up (NO disrespect intended!!)-- Two Thumbs Up!

I am a 70's Hippy that grew up in HAWAII.
CANNABIS was free and joints were the fashion.
Land at the beach was cheap and growing was easy and took no effort.
Surfers did not work so we grew instead.

I was going to get a Titanium GH because I like light.

Now Hippies like myself like Laurence Krauss, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Christoper Hitchens to name some books by writer's I'm in the middle of.

My whole life is science based and I quit work 6 years ago to enjoy.


Vaporizing is something that I only do at home.
The GH seems like a fun item to own.
I never intended it to be my driver!

Thank you for the help!

I live for the day you give those Solos away to a friend in need and move on to something else... I am not sure if GH will do that for you but maybe RBT's Zion will... Why don't you have a look at it old hippie? Sagan would!

Now ladies & gentlemen, this particular post has been one hell of a long time coming. And considering that I just paid a pretty hefty import duty on the most blatantly packaged item of paraphernalia that I have ever recieved . . . .

​

. . . . I actually feel pretty Zen

So, check out my new pen . . . .
(As the future shows up on time, yet again)

Btw, that's blue Ti - just in case you were wondering . . .

So yeah, just a couple of quick preview snaps for all of you Hoppin' mad mofoz . . . And I'm pleased to report that first impressions are exceedingly good. The form is so tactile that I just don't wanna put it down - I am actually clutching it as I type this now. And it's so light - I love it.

Good flavor too, even on high temp. Killing a bowl in about 3 long hits at full power.

Unbelievable that this little bit of kit has caused so much drama over the past few years. When you open it up it seems like there is not a lot to it at all, appearing to be little more than a shell. But no doubt, it is indeed a very impressive heater design that is able to produce so much instant power from such a small mass.

But there is much more testing to be done - further details & more gratuitous pics to follow . . .

Hipper to the Hopper & you just don't stopper


MuchLove.

 

[Vapetrees]

@VegNVape Good pictures, happy that you have finally received it. Share more when you play around with it more, also more pictures if you can. They came out really good.

Oooooooh........
'grat's VnV, that must be very satisfying

Great pic's as usual, that blue is very very tempting, almost makes we want to swap from dark grey.

I'm certain that you don't need any encouragement to keep us informed of your verdict, but I'm especially interested in a direct comparo' with Zion (at your convenience of course ).

I reckon I'm 3 or maybe even 4 months out myself, despite HL claiming that I'll get mine this month (HAH!), so it's good to have you on point (VnV=Vicarious new Vape).

They couldn't just have declared it as a vaporizer? , ah well, all's well that ends well and all that!

Hi everyone. I posted some time ago and have been meaning for ages to add an update, so here goes.

I got my titanium hopper early last December and it has been fantastic overall. I have 4 batteries on rotation and use a nitecore d2 to keep 'em charged up, and just swap as needed. Like some others have noted, you get somewhat better results with a lighter pack. I usually fill the chamber, but just. (Current favorite strain in it is Cantaloupe Kush, a tasty hybrid that is great for all day, but I digress...) I have noticed that if I'm outside in cold weather it seems to use the battery faster, which makes sense since I am pulling cold air right over the heater instead of room temp air, so it has to work harder. I usually swap batteries after 2 loads rather than waiting for them to go totally dead.

I did recently get the disco lights of doom, totally out of nowhere. No change to my usage or anything, just went to turn it on one day and red-blue-red-blue... sigh. But I did the warranty request thing and they had a replacement body to me in less than a week, so pretty impressed and happy with how that went. (And I had figured I would have an issue at some point since I was earlier in the delivery chain than many. I think I have the earlier style of backend as well as I can see the seams, but so far so good with that.)

This thing really is a game changer for portable vapes. For the few days while I was waiting for the replacement body to show up, it became really clear to me how used to it I had gotten. Always with me in my backpack or pocket (I got a 'ego' branded ecig case off Amazon that works perfectly, holds my hopper, 1 spare battery, a little stash container and a toothpick.)

Oh, and the toothpick. I've seen a couple people talk about it being hard to empty or load. Loading is simple enough. I put a bit of medium grind in my palm (I just eyeball it, doesn't take much) and then just use the edge of my hand to guide it in, maybe a light tap or two on the side to get it to settle in. Pretty much like loading a pipe. i usually use the edge of my shirt to wipe off the threads before screwing the mouthpiece back on, but still pretty dang easy. Emptying is super easy, especially if it is still warm, and a toothpick is perfect for gently loosening up anything that is reluctant to just tap out. And it really is a small chamber (yet puts out such great hits). I could probably fit 2 hopper loads into one Firefly bowl, or just about. (I did try this, as I have a FF as well, but it was not a very scientific experiment... cough. Still, probably about that.)

A couple of my friends who got to try mine are now waiting on preorders as well. I think Hopper Labs is going to do just fine...

 

[peterpiper]

Thanks again
Not too bad after a years wait I suppose!

I live for the day you give those Solos away to a friend in need and move on to something else... I am not sure if GH will do that for you but maybe RBT's Zion will... Why don't you have a look at it old hippie? Sagan would!

I use a SOLO a lot because it is like perfect for reading.
Sagan, Hitchens, Dawkins, Pinker and others have shaped the way I view life!

Their is no perfect vaporizer for everyone.
We all have a different approach.

I got a LOTUS and was amazed by how hard it hit and was better than a joint!
Then everyone jumped to the VAPMAN? Then I realized some of the vaporist were collector's or had a sickness called VAS. I have this sickness as well maybe not as extreme as others however I suffer as well.
GAS is a sickness I have kind of bad. (real bad)

Thankfully I have a beautiful FRENCH wife that is wise as well.
She buy's me whatever I want.

I was breaking GonG's like nobodies business.
So my wife bought me a High Powered Desk Top that did not require a GonG!

The GH I don't need however I want one because of VAS.

The ZION is a wooden case covering a heating element?

The SOLO is not new and not the latest greatest!
Of course it's not the HOLY GRAIL.
I like it because I can still do thing's?

I don't need to be in a COMA in the middle of the day.

CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL actually!

Hey I'm wondering now... this whole time we've been posting on the Shipping Rolls portion of FC.... At what point does all this (hopefully all good) info about performance, etc, go back onto the "normal" sub-forum?

I'm in the exact same boat. I don't need a GH but I want it so bad, I'm surprised I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Probably because of the wait list, so that's actually a good thing that there is one, in my case at least .

But I also want to wait and see what these new vaporizers are from Magic Flight before I make my decision.

 

[voodoo_vape]

I could not help miself and I added a sexy purple GH to my order, which according to Caroline will not be impacted of my addition and any others. They will be shipping in March!(fingers crossed)

I think that the titanium model will make a difference and I just grabbed the opportunity that a friend of mine showed some interest in the GH and I made my self a little "extra present" with the extra 50$ for me, which I think I will not regret in any case. I loaded some extra batts as well and I'm ready to rumbleee

There has been some nice posting for the Ti and the SS model which helped me make up my mind and pay the extra bucks.. Many thanks lads!! Your help & advice has been really helpful!!!

@VegNVape Well done mate!! The blue is looking reaaally nice as well!! For some reason though, I went with the purple. The choice was a bit spontaneous since I started rethinking it about the blue one as well

 

[FizzNuggets]

Got a response on my warranty. Have to box it up and send it in. Apparently they haven't seen this problem.

Gonna pack it up and get it out in the next few days. I knew I kept all the boxes for a reason other than how amazing they look.

.....
Boxes

 

[zymos]

And I'll add that I am curious if the colored ti gh's show finger smudges, or oils from handling

Yes and no. Fingerprints and smudges can show up, but they wipe right off.
My purple Ti still looks pristine. If I'm going to put it in my pocket, I use the leather sleeve, but around the house I just put it down wherever.

 

[Mister G]

It's been ages since there's been good box talk around here...

 

[blankexpression]

My heat up time is slowing down, near about 8 seconds now...what could this be? battaries? Im not complaining just yet. Bit odd though

 

[FizzNuggets]

@blankexpression, mine was also doing that. One of the many weird problems I was having is light staying red. Well, a couple times it would turn blue just before the auto shutoff kicked in. Still some bugs out there.

Wonder if they need to tone it down? I mean, don't get me wrong. When my new one comes in, I'm going back to 5 on the bong. Just hope they figure this out.

 

[tubasco]

Mine is now 10 seconds flat from room temp to temp 5.
Backend appears to be getting hotter too...I think. It always got warm at least...

 

[EdE80]

Just got me thinking.. If it's a heater issue, and they replace the fancy 3D heater, can they then melt down the old one and reuse it in a new 3D printed heater?

 

[ben7337]

What new vaporizers from magic flight? Now I'm curious.

 

[Thcgos]

Hi all,

Just wanted thank @BuzzDanklin (Vaporizer Wizard), luckily I won the stainless steel grasshopper!
This is quite easily the best news I’ve had in a very long time. I literally let out a yelp (of some sort) at work when I read the notification. Someone asked me what happened, Hahahaha!

I’m so keen to try this unit and give you all my feedback on it. Promise to give some good feedback and observations.

I think my girlfriend’s response to me winning, is some indication of just how obsessed I am/was:

Just wanted to thank @BuzzDanklin and @Grasshopper_Labs for giving us all this opportunity!

I think we all can agree @BuzzDanklin Grasshopper review was some next level sh!t. Quiet easily the most entertaining review in our scene to date.

Congrats on winning!!

My wife was the same way, lol! When mine arrived I said something like: "I'm so happy it's here!!"
She said: "no one is happier than me... NO ONE!" haha

Has anyone experienced the slowdown in heating time a few of us mentioned above, and then sent it in for warranty work for of that? Is it just something that happens? It still works.

I guess I should write Tre....Caroline a message and see what their take on it is...

 

[Copacetic]

Well done @Thcgos!
The biggest prize is getting to skip the eternal wait for the damn thing!

Vape a bowl for all your fellow FCers

 

[voodoo_vape]

Coud you please post a pic or two of your purple GH? I'd love seeing how it looks like with a normal photo.
PRISTINE!! Nice word to use and I haven't heard it for some time I must say... So plz plz plz show us some nice pics from ur lovely pristine purple GH!!!

 

[cannabis.pro]

Just got me thinking.. If it's a heater issue, and they replace the fancy 3D heater, can they then melt down the old one and reuse it in a new 3D printed heater?

No, this isn't how DMLS works. The 3D Printer runs on powder that gets deposited a layer at a time. What gets reused would be any leftover powder from layers where the powder remains unsintered by the laser during the building of the block.
