It's on 258. It is actually released on the 15th and the 1st of every month but dependent on your timezone it may drop on the 2nd and 16th. I'm in the eastern time zone and I usually get the email at like 1-2am on the 2nd and the 16th. You can always sign up for them to email it to you by signing up for their newsletter on their website. Or you can find it on the indie gogo site, it is also posted on r/grasshoppervape.

so is it just me or does each day feel like a week? I keep thinking "okay, the update said they're moving... where are the posts about people getting emails?! Its been forever!!!" ... then notice its been only 2 days, then think it again the next day, and so on... torturous

I don't know about anyone else, but I actually never receive a regular bi-monthly email update like I expected when I signed up. I got one on the update they let everyone know that they would be giving extra batteries to delayed orders, but other than that I've never gotten one.

 

[vapebuddy13]

same, but I also never really looking into figuring out why or what to do to get it emailed... just check when I wake up

I never received them either after signing up at the GH website. To my surprise, I started receiving them after I signed up for them on their Indigogo page.

 

[zymos]

I've been getting them since they started sending them...

Hmm. Weird. I suppose I need to sign up for updates on Indiegogo then.

 

[vapemon]

i never signed up for anything. Just the indiegogo site when i got an earlybird. Have been getting the updates since day 1

I have never been an Indiegogo member, I just visit the site and read the updates. Now I've signed up and I am following them, so I should be good now. Though I still wonder why Grasshoppervapes.com doesn't send them out regularly itself.

 

[RUDE BOY]

I would think the Updates are mainly for backers of the indiegogo campaign that are waiting on info pertaining to how their contributions are being used, If you helped fund the project you get regular updates, if you didn't why would you get an "update" when they owe you nothing.

 

[Kalessin]

Because they have the option on their website to receive a so-called monthly newsletter. When people offer things and I sign up for them, I kind of expect to receive them. If it hadn't been offered, I would never have thought on it at all.

 

[vapebuddy13]

that is probably more of a long run feature they just added when they made the site, for when it is up and running and working on improvements or accessories? maybe

 

[Kalessin]

I don't think so, they asked me if I wanted to sign up for it when I made my order. It seemed to me like it was a feature so I could get their bi-monthly updates sent to me in email automatically. I could have been wrong, but I still don't see why I was given the option to sign up for it, if it doesn't actually exist. And, like I said, I did receive ONE email from them containing an update, the one they sent out about the batteries that was different from the update they put up on the website. So maybe they just intended it to be an occasional newsletter containing special updates, but if so I really wish they'd change what it's listed as, because it's a bit confusing.

 

[syrupy]

So are people looking to get the updates directly, so they don't have to wait the ten minutes it takes somebody to post them here? Because for me, I like the updates with a helping of FC commentary...

 

[Kalessin]

I don't mind coming on here, or going to Indiegogo and looking at them, but I'd like to have an email to save to look at later. I don't even really know why, I guess I'm just strange.

 

[fft]

My thoughts exactly... I've been at this for well over a year now. Believe it or not, this time last year the updates were still holding out hope for an early Summer 2014 release. When last summer came and I didnt have a working portable, I broke down and bought an Ascent to tide me over. (Here's a link to p75 when we were talking about a July 2014 delivery)

Fast forward a year and its the same thing all over again (though hopefully things are much much closer now). A buddy of mine has "borrowed" my Ascent and I'm wondering whether I should get another portable... a Pax2 perhaps. The stealthy portables are key for me in the summer. Memorial Day weekend is next week and I would really love to have the GH in my hands.

So I find myself spending a large chunk of my FC time on this thread which is now 270 pages of the same bi-weekly speculation. I still like these guys and am sure they'll ship a great product soon... but the repetitive waiting/hoping/waiting cycle is taking its toll. Hopefully we are really close...

at this point though if they dont get them shipping real soon I can imagine a riot lol, you dont say you have everything you need to start getting them out and then not get them out

 

[Kalessin]

Yeah, I think if I'd been waiting a year, I'd have completely lost hope by now. I've only been watching this for about 3 months and I'm nagged with little doubts about it. Props to everyone who's managed to stay sane all this time.

 

[RUDE BOY]

Some of us were hoping to have it in February 2014 when they said everything was ready and they would be shipping for sure, since then one delay and excuse after another twice a month can make ya a bit wary of if there is a bit truth in any of their updates now.

 

[Kalessin]

That's what I'm thinking. It seems legit, at this point. But it's hard not to see people talking about how they were apparently this close a year ago and feel like something isn't right...

Just got a fresh email from the team!
"
Hey Everyone,

We’re back with another update for you! The first question on your minds must be “are we on schedule for the July delivery?” I am happy to tell you that we are still on schedule. We’ll issue a special update if anything derails us as we get closer and closer. The optimism and support from community has been very motivating. Thanks!

Progress in software development has validated our hardware logic. This means that the right components are on the boards, and they are almost ready for mass production. The final step involves testing all charging and use cases.

Developing a scalable process for keeping everything together in a tiny cylinder has been a challenge throughout development. We recently acquired a 100 watt laser welder, which we’re using to make critical connections between components. After investigating all the possible options, nothing is going to do the job like welding will. There are no shortcuts to this kind of quality. We’re excited to implement this technology into the production.

Moving forward, we’ll be opening pre-orders to those on the waitlist sometime this coming month. We want backers to have priority for any pre-orders, so rest assured any Hoppers you add to your order through the backers site will be shipped first! Thanks for the support.

Check back on the 15th for another update, and we’ll be sure to post a few photos to our instagram soon!

The Grasshopper Team."

why did I go reading? lol granted this time they have everything being mass produced so I cant really imagine what other issues they would run into... soooo lets see some emails today!

I never received the email for the free battery unless I'm mistaken and am not getting one. So it might actually be an issue.
