Just a small amount of asbestos, nothing to worry about...
I really hope that production is currently going full swing and they are going to ship thousands of units out at once.I'm still shooting for production is going full force, they have a bunch to ship out but are waiting for technical things to clear or w.e and gunna be able to ship everything out at once leaving minimal setback for peeps
@BuzzDanklin Hey do you know if the grasshopper would work with old school hash? I can get it cheap here so I'm wondering if I could just get hash instead of flowers when the grasshopper, finally, arrives. Thanks!@Vape Dr. Thanks for the kind words, although I feel like I owe Grasshopper for giving me the opportunity to have and review one early![]()
@Just Justin what is the new insulation made of? Is it in the vapor path?
I am not sure what the material is exactly but I think it's proprietary, Hopper Labs own formula and I thought I read somewhere it was a glass like material or contained glass. You can see where it is if you look at the end of the Grasshopper chamber....Its the stuff in between the inside heating chamber wall and the outside of the Grasshopper body. Its kind of tan-ish color. This material is not really part of the vapor path. The insulation will make the mouthpiece a lot cooler, I am assuming and is probably a reason why they increased the amount and I will check about the chamber and see if that means it may be a little narrower but I didn't get the feeling like it would be narrower, some how....See the photo below, I am going to re-do this shot so it doesn't look so compressed. The chamber is actually longer and narrower than it appears in the photo.

If you've got a vape there's nothing you can't do.
When connecting to waterpipes..
Edit: is it possible to use the grasshopper with a piece like this one? http://dankstop.com/dankstop-mini-tornado-cyclone-vapor-rig/
That's a great description of it, Justin. The insulation is repelling the heat instead of absorbing it.
Yeah I woke up, grabbed my phone to check the update... And realized we have 1 more day b4 it comes out, was a sad moment
The updates have always been on the 1st and 15th, in the last minutes of the day, mountain time.Are you sure? I thought the update was every 14-15 days. It is now showing as 16 days on the indiegogo
Damn 31 day months!!
I don't think I've ever really cared about whether or not a month had 30 or 31 days b4 in my life until now -_-
This is a convection vape, and the experiment @BuzzDanklin demonstrated there is almost no conduction happening at all.Not really. There's no such thing as "repelling the heat" in conduction. Insulation SLOWS the heat transfer, same as putting on a coat can't keep you from freezing to death in a snow emergency but can delay it. Heat will still stubbornly flow from hot to cold like Thermodynamics (First Law) requires. That's what conduction is all about, heat moving from hot to cold atom by atom.
Radiation, OTOH, does offer the chance of reflection (since it's basically light). When you look into a thermos bottle you see silver? That's a reflective layer of Aluminum. Even though radiation losses are small with the modest temperature of hot coffee, reflecting as many photons back as possible slows the cooling down.
In this case insulation is a two edged sword. It would slow the warming of the exterior (protecting your very own 'ruby reds' longer) but that also means cooling after the session will also be slower. Life is a compromise sometimes, you might have less hair to comb, but now also have more forehead to wash.
