Here we go again. If I were a backer I would be more than annoyed by all of the changes from the original product that I was backing. Yes I have said this before. The first post in this thread was almost 2 years ago. It says "After 6 months of development, this is the result". I want to believe...but...back to on topic, here's the latest image of the GH manual from the Keep It Real review, I noticed that for cleaning, they no longer suggest submerging the body up to the top of the chamber, now they say only submerge the MP:
Look at the Evoke, design changed in fundamental ways, bigger and uglier. And they're just at the "working prototype" phase, out of money and trolling for pre-orders, and folks are still discussing when they'll get theirs (I know! never, sorry). GH has a different mouthpiece, a fraction of the battery life (that's the big one but it still meets my needs and remains competitive), and one color option is not available. This's crowdfunding, a bet on the existence of a product on an unknown schedule, overall GH is rocking it (big disclaimer, rocking it for your average crowdfunded product attempt).
thank you for doing the experiment! i hope it didn't cost you too much herb.First off, packing the GH isn't too bad, the chamber is almost as wide as the unit, so its not something like the V2 Pro S3 which has a very tiny and cumbersome opening to pack.
Now I did try your the joint method, unfortunately I only had peach flavored papers so it threw off the flavor and I couldn't tell if unflavored papers would also do that, or if it was only caused from the flavored ones. I also noticed with this method that Air flow wasn't as good, and the AVB wasn't quite as even.
So in the end, this does work, however its probably not something I will be doing again.
Oooh...I wish I could get one kind of like that, but made for two pens with another area on the opposite side with a pouch or pocket.
Boom, perfect case for 6 preloaded grasshoppers

Here Here, it just so happens that Grasshooper labs is on my way home and I can tell you that at 10 p.m. the lights were on and people were working so I say give them a break, it is crowdfunding after all. Crowdfunding is NOT an investor model, it's a new economic model that can and DOES work and can prove important to product innovation and allowing new ideas to market.
Haha, they're doing a bit of that, too. Along w/ the new model, communication has to change, too. I see it happening - many campaigns highlight their timeline w/ increasing detail, fer instance - but the change is slow and, IMO, hampered by old concepts of how to treat customers and/or investors. Backers are the exciting new thing. Customer/Investor models are all about promises and positive spins and reassuring BS, I think the new Backer Model needs to be more about transparency and process, cause time is a HUGE unknown in all these ventures, and what really makes waiting manageable is concrete information. I think the GH team is trying for transparency by never missing an update (tho I get them usually just after midnite on the expected day which is technically late, don't understand that decision) but failing on process w/ The Vagueness & too much attention on delivery. I imagine a better way to do it would be like a blog detailing the week by week issues finding/managing/designing for multiple international manufacturers to source all those parts, plus a quick-ref timeline for the path to product. Lots of room in there to engage a huge focus group that's already paid you for your product.
I share your fears - did they get the steps wrong? Do they have parts for thousands of units w/ a design that still requires approvals? It's challenging to have patience when most updates hint they'll be done soon, while other emails seem to indicate parts coming in started a new round of unknowns. Here's hoping for some real detail in the next update.
