The Grasshopper

[Madcap79]

On the frequently asked questions section of their website they state that the Grasshopper will provide 3 to 4 sessions on a single charge. I really don't know where the 3 hours of continuous usage came from.

Their IGG page.

That satisfying clicker will be my undoing. I click the heck out of pens for entertainment and nervous habit. My usable battery life will end up like 3 seconds.

I'm need to get a mechanical keyboard soon to prepare my sue button for false advertising.

EDIT:
@syrupy You're just going to refuse to remove the battery?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

battery life is rated in cycles, IE full to discharged is one cycle. Clicking it on and off shouldn't use as much battery power as actually using it and making the heater work and drain battery life. The click is pretty satisfying though

 

[Chill Dude]

I wish The Grasshopper guys would chime in on this battery issues before we drive ourselves nuts. 3 hours of battery life versus 3 to 4 sessions? I wonder if they would address this discrepancy if someone sent them an email??

Continuous usage is all I see.

And longest-lasting portable vaporizer available.

The humor that is a vaporizer only having 3 minutes of actual usage.

 

[Madcap79]

Just like the pure convection vs primarily convection.

Also, are the temps preset or can you dial in any temp? In the video it's seems like there are three settings, correct?

Edit: Thanks @1_gr8_underdog

So if you just held the device in your hand and clicked it on and off continuously the battery should last 3 hours? So I take it the 3 to 4 chambers they refered to is the real useage one could expect from a single charge.

That makes sense. I don't know much about batteries and that battery life is rated in cycles. Good to know, but confusing when they quote that 3 hour number on their website.

They are stating that it has 3 hrs of continuous battery usage. All the vaporizer companies always state more than the actual time of battery usage. The Ascent said 3 hrs also. It was more like an hour.

But these are made by people with no background history so they'll totally deliver.

I'm so done with battery/electrical vaping :-D

Edit: I mean, I still can't wait to get my hands on this thing and test it, but well... I'm not adding anything, shutting up... :-)

You're making me laugh today, and when you asked for water tool videos, all I could think was "yours are usually my favorite, you just make one!" Sometimes you need good music with a milk shot video, you got that covered as well ha

So I mastered vaping herb with a dube, with lots of practice, for super stealth, this would really make those situations easier!

 

[CarolKing]

@paytonpenn I enjoy your water tool videos along with listening music and big vapor clouds. I hope you can make one with the Grasshopper when it comes out. I'm sure you'd do the best job, probably better than the company could do.

Understood. How about a breakthrough technology......Solar power! Maybe we can even get some Obama bucks for R&D?

We could also make an accessory battery powered 'solar simulator' light source for us at night on cloudy days. Probably need a trailer to haul that.....

No batteries... NO BATTERIES!

That includes that damn charlatan the Sun too, only putting in half a days work, the lazy bastard.

I'm working on a design of a pen vape that runs on zero point energy. It's usable from anywhere in the universe, even inside of a black hole, since it will have a neutronium shell. I do have to figure out how to offset the excessive weight neutronium brings to the table, but with the infinite runtime that a zero point energy vaporizer would provide, I think it would be worth it.

I'm sorry but that sounds combustion prone.

Now where'd that topic go?

Yeah but is it conduction or convection!? TOO VAGUE!

Neither it just combusts out of nowhere whether or not you're near it or inhaling.

Actually, I thought you were out of here?

 

[EveryDayAmnesiac]

Is it as good as the Volcano?

 

[fonzerelli]

The screen between the herb chamber and the heating element will be laced with very fine threads of more neutronium. This will eliminate combustion and provide a combination of conduction and convection.

I don't think the extra weight brought on by these threads will exceed another 100 million tons or so.

And the induction?
