What I really want to know are the dimensions of the case. Did I overlook them somewhere?

Ahh thanks for the clarification and for posting the pictures, I guess my memory failed me on that one.

Someone asked this question in the comment section of the campaign and according to Trever, the dimensions of the smell proof case are as follows, 170mm long and 18mm in diameter. Also according to another member of the grasshopper team, the herb compartment holds 4-5 grams.

Contributions were slower today, but for now it's still on pace to reach the $150k stretch goal.

For anyone interested in following how the campaign is doing on any given day in comparison to previous days, and in terms of how far they need to go, I made a handy spreadsheet that you can find here.

Obviously it's not ideal but I wouldn't worry to much even if there is a perioed where it doesn't look like they are going to meet the goal. It's actually pretty typical in most crowdfunding that it kind of dies out in the middle and picks up at the end.

Obviously this is about Kickstarter but if you go down to the section about the trough it gives some great data to the effect.

Great article, thanks. I realized that some days might come where my spreadsheet could make things look gloomy and cause people to worry, but then again, maybe worrying might incentivize people to spread the word more, yeah?

On another note, my spreadsheet got added to the sidebar of the Grasshopper subreddit. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy… Hope people enjoy the numbers, it's good to have my incessant refreshing and number crunching being useful to others…

We're $250 away from $50k!

I actually saw that! Hopefully you get a job, haha.

You are probably right. That's worth the scare right there.

And yeah, I'm just hoping to stave of any potential panic. It feels like this is probably a lot of peoples first at bat with crowd funding. There is a little to much talk of having purchased these pens for me; I have complete faith in them but most crowd funded projects hit delays and you have very limited legal protection.

So, obviously that's pretty weak language. It really works out that if they should fail (Don't think they will for a second) that the only recourse would be an individual lawsuit at some guys who just spent all of their money to watch their dream fail. AKA: Not going to really help anyone.

I've lurked long enough to see how this place can get antsy. We all want our new toys so bad. Moving on, I gotta go refresh the indiegogo.

You've got that right. Over the past year I've been around here for several product launches and only after some hard thinking can I think of a small few that went off without a hitch. The nice thing is that the mods here are very active in keeping things as under control as possible so that threads don't completely collapse in a sea of people grumbling about shipping delays or endlessly restated grievances.

Best of luck as always, Team Grasshopper, it's a long road ahead, but a rewarding one for us all in the end, I think!

Also they were showcasing the improvements in the seam between the mouthpiece(bowl) and the body, notice the improvements from the first one to the the 3rd.

Gotta love that attention to detail! Things like that feed my optimism.

Just thought I would let you all know that I just made them hit the 50k mark! Happy to contribute towards a cause I care so deeply about, and I can tell the individuals behind the product have the mindset this industry needs.

Great! Just in time; I'll cut Day 5 on the spreadsheet there.

There are no links on your Thunderclap, when people go to it, they will be a bit confused on how to help further.

Edit, Nevermind the shortened url takes you to the correct place.

New color renderings posted. Still thinking the dark grey but the blue looks really nice now too. Or green.

Hey, they got rid of the two-tone look by the clip area. I like the change. Here's what it used to look like:

I can't figure out how these " stretch goals" work.
Click to expand...
When stretch goals are reached, the Grasshopper team will have the resources to manufacture whatever is unlocked. In the case of an accessory like the water pipe adapter, I imagine they'd then allow people to contribute more in order to purchase one. In the case of the green version it should just become an available option for those who already purchased a colored 'hopper.

Hope that helps!

They just updated the $115k goal too with a SS case option.
