They didn't even label the heating chamber.

Does this look like the heater for the GH? It was among pics and images of the GH that I found.

Been watching the GH for a long while now and I really hope they've got it right for all involved. At the moment it looks like only two working units have been released. More than likely the ones in the 'Two girls two Hoppers video'.
I can't help thinking along the lines of 'I love you, your Grasshoppers in the post and I won't come...'

Nope, the heater is at the other end of the pen, must below the air intake holes. All together, the distance from the heater to the mouthpiece looks to be less than 25mm. As has been mentioned before, that vapor is going to be HARSH.

But for a single quit hit, I think I might like it.
Update in 6 days, that's a lot of grasshoppers they could have "started shipping" by now. And still not one new report on the interwebs :disgust:

Of course I'm still glad I invested my money in the Grasshopper and not the Evoke! At least this vape still looks similar to the original IGG campaign

Who has actually used it has said the vapor is HARSH?
Did you not watch the video by @BuzzDanklin? How many times did they cough after a hit

It's pretty hard to imagine where else the heat will go. If the herb is sitting in an oven less than 1 inch from your lips, where the herbs are being cooked around 375F. Where is that temperature going after it hits the herbs? It's dropping a bit, but not much as it travels less than half an inch to your lips.

Exactly! No review has claimed the GH to be harsh, IIRC. Coughing with herb no matter the vehicle is to be expected ...depends on how you do it. Comes with the territory. And if it does prove to be harsh for some, learn how to draw on your vape while leaving a small air opening on the side/s of your mouth. This will cool & mix air with vapor and reduce throat scratchiness while still getting you as blasted as you want to be. I don't remember anyone back in the good ol combustion days complaining about a harsh joint or bonger. Nowadays, if a vape makes your throat tickle or mouthpiece gets lukewarm folks run for the exits in a panic! Buzz and his champion buzzmate ripped on the GH too hard in my opinion ...not necessary. And the 2 girls in the video didn't have a clue about vaping & breathing correctly - that vid was just balls to the wall vapor stupidity, IMO.

As far as comparing it to the Crafty, well I don't want to make too many comparisons yet, because I am still learning a lot and testing with this vape. But I would so far say the flavor starts off close to the Crafty but drops below it by the end of the bowl. The vapor is definitely hotter and more harsh. The density of the Grasshopper I would guess can go double or maybe triple what the Crafty can put out if you crank it. For its size/price, its real impressive, but the vapor quality overall is definitely better on the Crafty, unless you are a cloud chaser (Then this thing is near the top for portables, I don't think you can get a bigger/stronger/more medicating single draw from any portable vape, except maybe the Firefly, although the Fireflies draw would taste better :))

The taste is good, the density is amazing, but it is a bit hotter/harsher than other vapes that have a longer vapor path.

This might be what people recall.

Just reading posts here regarding how ppl like to complain about how the two "reviews" that are out just don't cut it for various reasons.

I, for one, am grateful for them. Can you imagine the uproar and conspiracy theories that would've been written if they didn't exist? Yes, it appears @BuzzDanklin does make $s with links to purchase vapes on specific sites, but do you really think anyone would risk their reputation and future income on fake info and/or opinion? Personally, I kind of feel some jealousy on the part of some.

Any review coming from any source is welcome to me. Doesn't mean I agree with what may be written, but it certainly would give me a better idea on whether to lay $s for something or continue to do my own research on it.

Nature's "carburetor".

Apropos to the point, one often draws in air over hot Japanese tea that one might be drinking to help cool the tea or, cool hot ramen noodles as they are being eaten. The concept has been around for millenia.

I've combusted with air paths almost as short and never had a problem.

As for the two-girl vid, almost everyone I've handed my vape to to try for the first time has coughed the first couple of times because hitting vapor like one would hit something combusted seems to have a greater impact. But as with all things, one adapts rather quickly to vaping. I think the persons in the vid just didn't have a lot of experience vaping.

uh oh ... somebody is WRONG on the internet ... this changes my whole world view in one fell swoop.

I will freely admit that there was one occasion when I thought I was wrong. But, I turned out to only be mistaken. ;-)

I mention in the enano thread that I sometimes use the short gong instead of the enano long stem and it is less harsh. Same with the MFLB. I think it has something to do with the vapor having a wider hole to come oout of and being able disperse more as it enters the mouth.

Idk.

Yes, Buzz did refer to harshness, relative to other vapes, but did not complain that it was "harsh" per se'. Harshness is subjective - too much for one may be a non-issue for another.

I wouldn't expect a guy helping to promote the product to say "The vapor is HARSH."

Not good for business. ;)

But yes, you're right. I was just putting the info out there. :tup:
