This page will be a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding the Grasshopper portable vaporizer created by Hopper Labs, LLC. I will keep this page updated regarding changes and try to keep the most popular questions towards the top.
If you have a question about the Grasshopper feel free to leave a comment below and I will add it to the FAQ.
This Grasshopper FAQ is a bit out of date. The Grasshopper is now shipping on-demand and you can check out my Grasshopper vaporizer review for the latest info on shipping, pricing, and to see how it’s holding up.
Check out my best portable list for more portable vaporizer options.
The Grasshopper is a portable convection vaporizer that mimics the look of a pen. It’s one of the smallest and most powerful vaporizers I have tested. The GH (Grasshopper) is turned on the same way you would use a pen. Simply click the button, the chamber is heated in 2-5 seconds and you’re ready for your draw.
Now the GH is a bit different from most portable vaporizers in the fact that it’s not a session vaporizer. It’s more on an on-demand portable that provides instant heat. There’s no need to leave the bowl on in between hits. Simply click the button, wait for the blue light, hit it, then hit the button again to turn it off. I use this method because the mouthpiece does tend to get a bit warmer when taking multiple draws on higher temps. The unit does come standard with a silicone mouthpiece guard to help deal with the temps if you decide to try and use it as a session vape.
So let’s go ahead and jump into the most frequently asked questions for the Grasshopper vaporizer.
Grasshopper Vape FAQ
Q. How many temp selections and what is the temperature range?
A. Temp control is pretty precise and its a much bigger spectrum than just 5 temps. Because its on a rotary dial, you don’t only get 1-5 but 1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.6, 3.3, etc… so you can fine tune the temp that works best for your herbs. The temp ranges from 130 °C – 210 °C (266 °F – 410 °F) and each tick represents 20 °C in change.
Q. Is there battery level indication with the LEDs? Like before it dies fully letting you know, or even telling you levels?
A. There is no indicator until the battery gets low. It warns you about 1 draw before it shuts off, and then it won’t heat once it drops further. Trevor was open to the idea of adding an indicator if someone could think of a way of doing it without making use confusing. (There is only 1 led, and it can only do 2 colors, and they cannot both be on at the same time, so most of the ideas we discussed made regular use confusing) But he said he can modify software up until he gets back from China, so if anyone has any clever ideas for the next 2-3 weeks, its definitely possible to add.
Q. Is it better to click on and off or let it autoshut off at 18sec?
A. I definitely prefer to shut it off, because it conserves battery, keeps the unit cooler, and I assume it saves herb as well. Its crazy how powerful this thing is for its size, it can kick out 45watts, whereas the Crafty is only 27w and the Mighty 30w.
Q. How much herb can fit in the Grasshoper chamber?
A. As far as load size goes, I filled it with the herb I have right now, which is a bit more moist than I would prefer, and it fit .30 grams into the chamber.
Q. Have you tried sessioning with another user or two? How did that go?
A. Yes there was 4 people passing one around and we went through two bowls without stopping other than to repack. We did use the mouthpiece though. I also used it a lot of times with 1 other person and we would pass it back and forth until the bowl was finished without the silicone.
Q. Can you do more comparisons with the Firefly?
A. I will definitely do more comparisons to the Firefly, unfortunately I haven’t hit it in about a week due to the trip, and I am also testing the Pax2 and the Series7 at the moment so I probably won’t touch on side by side comparisons for a little bit longer.
Q. Is it better to finish a whole bowl at one temp than to temp step?
A. So far I have been enjoying both. A few bowls I started low and worked my way up, I have also done a few bowls at various temps in the 3.75-4.25 range from start to finish and enjoyed them. I have also even enjoyed the monster rips I can get on 5 when I am out. For example when I was snowboarding, I would pull it out, and just take 1 good rip, and then put it away. I got 4 or 5 hits that day and it kept me exactly where I wanted to be, without having to waste for than 30 seconds each time I stopped to vape.
Q. What is the Mouthpiece guard material?
A. The Mouthpieces are made of Silicone. They 3d printed a mold, and poured silicone, however they did say that the ones that come with production units will be nicer/better in some way.
Q. How long does it take to charge the Grasshopper and how do you charge it?
A. The recharge time I have experiencing is around 90 minutes. With the final production charger, they estimate it will be 50% faster. As of now the battery can only be charged in the unit with the supplied charger cable (It is pass through so you can use the unit while charging) They do have an external charging dock in the works, but its not finalized. They also have spare batteries that can be purchased for $7 (they told us this was essentially cost)
Q. Will there be any differences between the BETA unit and the PRODUCTION unit?
A. There was a bit of talk about what exactly they are modifying in the final units compared to the ones I used. First they have a better screen, it is designed, but it wasn’t in stock while I was there. Second they are changing the threading slightly on the mouthpiece so it goes on and off with a bit less turning. Third they are changing the charger, they are both making the chord thicker, and they are increasing charging speed by roughly 50%.
Q. How warm does the mouthpiece get and does it come with a guard?
A. There were some questions about the unit getting hot. Yes it does get hot if you keep hitting it. It does have a few things going for it that makes it not a big deal for me. First is that it loses heat VERY fast, so if you take a draw, turn it off, and just hold the unit for a few seconds before your next draw, it doesn’t get hot. If you want to turn it on high and kill a bowl in a few hits you can put the unit in your pocket for 1-2 minutes and it will be fully cooled down for bowl #2, or if you want to kill bowls fast at high temp and chain them one after another, the silicone mouthpiece makes this possible.
Q. A couple people were asking about the differences between the Ti and the SS units. Here is how Trevor explained it to me:
A. “Ti is more emissive, meaning that it can transfer heat to the environment more quickly. This might seem like a bad thing, but it is actually a good thing. We don’t want heat on the outside of the vape, we only want it on the inside. So if the outside starts to become warm we want the heat escaping to the environment as fast as possible and not sitting in the housing building up. This is the property that allows for a bit better performance. If you were drawing on two units, one Ti, one stainless, at the same rate the housing (mouthpiece) of the Ti would heat a bit slower.”
Q. How do you clean the Grasshopper and how hard is it?
A. The production units you can remove the mouthpiece which has the screen attached and fully submerse in ISO, the body can only be submersed up to a certain point. Here is a crappy picture of the instructions:
(Grasshopper Cleaning Instructions)
Q. How exactly does it indicate the “battery’s low?” Like does it flash a certain color? Also, I’m guessing the 2 colors are red and blue?
A. While the unit is heating up its Red, then when its ready it goes Blue. If the blue light starts blinking fast while you are drawing you are near the end. I actually just had it happen on a bowl a moment ago and I got 3 draws before it died. (including the draw it started blinking on) When it dies it starts blinking the red light fast during your draw.

You write that it’s a conduction and convection vape while the grasshopper FAQ claims it’s pure convection. I’m confused. Which is it?
It starts off pure convection, but after a few draws in a row the unit/bowl starts to get warm, and it starts to also have some conduction heating going on.
I’m bummed to hear that. Hopefully it’s not too problematic. I guess one could just hit it once, turn it off, then repeat as necessary to minimize the accumulation of heat but that makes it less appealing as something to pass around and share.
It is still mostly convection even once the unit is warmed up, also since the grasshopper is very powerful, you can finish a bowl in just a couple minutes, so when it’s warming up at the end, it’s a very short while.
I am so excited! I’ve been waiting since the 3rd day of the campaign for the Grasshopper to come out. I think this is going to be a great piece to enhance my collection. Also, it’s about time I need a real vaporizer.
Would turning the unit on and off so many times (if you were to take multiple hits but didn’t want to leave the unit running to prevent it from getting too hot) wear down the battery or any components of the vape? Do you have any pictures with the silicone mouthpiece?
Turning the unit off inbetween draws is a good practice to help conserve battery and prevent extra unecessary heat. You can even click the unit off, and continue drawing for a few extra seconds to remove the extra vapor/heat.
The silicone mouthpiece I have is a temporary one so I havent really tried to take photos of it. You can see it a bit here
With some other various vaporizers I have / use I can run into the issue of the herbs burning and putting off smoke if the heat gets too high or the herbs get too compacted. Have you had this issue at all with the Grasshopper, especially on higher temps?
About 10 days of testing now in almost every scenario and pack method with zero combustion. Still using it daily :)
Thank you for a well-written review. I’m a FF owner and love it aside from the battery life – for that reason alone I’m considering switching vapes. How would you compare the battery life of the GH v. the FF? Many thanks!
They are pretty similar on battery life, but the GH has replaceable batteries for $7 which is a lot cheaper than the Fireflies. I would suggest you don’t trade vapes though, the Firely and the Grasshopper really compliment each other well. Use the Firefly around the house, and the GH on the go :)
hey, how is the the draw resistance? besides the fact that I’ve been looking for a perfect one hitter vape the reason I’m buying the grasshopper is mainly because of the draw resistance at the end of each session makes getting the rest out of your herb an effort with the firefly plus the fact you have to pack the bowl full enough the herb doesn’t move more than a little if at all. ( weirdly i heard reports of people having different experiences otherwise no vapor also and you nobody seems to mention that the firefly is a hybrid probably by accident but with the compact design of the convection heater as Soon as the bowl is preheated the bottom is hot enough to singe the herbs causing every bowl to have at least a bit of black on the herb that touched the bottom longer meaning it is a hybrid however i believe since it was designed as convection heater the conduction is simple a design error so the hot air still heats at least the majority of the herb mainly the bottom (forcing you to still the bowl or risk wasting as many as 3 potent hits contributing to the fact of it still having the best flavor and strongest vapor. these are simply some things i noticed and have been curious about. My main question is how does the resisitence of the grasshopper compare to the firefly?
Very little draw resistance and that’s one of the reasons that I really like the Grasshopper. The heater in the Grasshopper is also much better than the Firefly and I can literraly draw as hard and it will keep producing large couds. With other vapes, the harder you pull, the faster the temp drops and the less of a hit you get. Not with the Grasshopper.
I would agree. I just purchased the GH as my on-the-go vape, while keeping the FF for home use.
Thanks for this great FAQ! I’m a little shocked though that such a high-tech device doesn’t have a battery life indicator, which I believe is quite important! My suggestion… have you ever charged a Canon DSLR battery? The charger has a single light that blinks in a cycle – once when approx 25%, twice when 50%, thrice when 75%, then solid when fully charged. Please see this video to understand how deceptively simple it is:
https://youtu.be/KkWzfda-Edg?t=38s
So, how does a user activate “battery-indicator mode”?
Option 1) User could press and hold down the button to activate “battery-indicator mode”, release to deactivate
Option 2) User could double click the button to activate BI-mode, double-click to deactivate
…At the very least, it should be in BI-mode when charging the unit! Again, this is a very simple, basic feature that all high-tech devices should have that was obviously overlooked… I truly wish you can relay this to the Grasshopper team for the benefit of everyone!
Thanks again!!!!
I like your idea. Maybe it could do the blinking when you first turn it on (I like how Arizer Solo shows the battery level through the temp levels briefly when you first turn it on). Like, click the top, the light blinks 3 times for 75% as your example (at the moment it is a solid light when you turn the unit on for heating up, so instead it could do 4 blinks for 100%).
How is the battery life? It’s awesome that it can be used while charging.
And also, how does the AVB come out? Have you used any for edibles yet?
i can tell you its not. at least not unless you pack the bowl very loosely. i pack mine rather full and use a water pipe so when i’m done its dark brown the perfect step away from combustion, when I don’t use a water pipe, pack a small one, or hit it 3 to 4 times which is really all you need to get the main ingreadients. the 5th hit can be nice but the 6th can sometimes feel like a waste of battery I mostly do it because I like to get everything but its not neccesary and you can get more bowls per battery, Honestly you should be able to tell whats worth saving and whats worth not. but if youre still waiting on yours the abv is the most thoroughly vaped ive ever seen. making it bad for edibes but the mighty’s abv is pretty much spent also and its the second best vape on the market, honestly i dont understand all the hype or the rating for the firefly or ff2 i own both and liked the first mainly for lack of a better alternative, but now the ff2. I hate the makers, they blatantly false advertised. Mainly with the ff2. I don’t see any way you can or would want to use the ff and the hopper in combo. Sorry, no way, and I’ve perfected the technique of both the ff and ff2 and that’s the problem. there is A TECHNIQUE. its horrible, Even getting consistent results are difficult or just tedious. With sessions usually ending in half the bowl partially vaped. The FF2 and the Hopper are 2 complete different things. the ff2 was in my opinion a rushed attempt to make money before the hopper. Which is clearly working due to the lack of any other convection vapes before itself on the market and the still on pre-order hopper. I use my hopper at home and on the go as my main vape. The ff2 im putting up for sale. It may give some good results and mainly i’d love to try it with Wax but the use is too tedius- taking at least 15 and up to 30 min per session. And IT DOES NOT WORK WITH SMALL AMOUNTS. it is a huge waste of money if you want something quick and convenient, it is not worth it as a portable. I wish I had bought the volcano with the money or at least another hopper looking back. If the flavor is worth the time than by all means but I think this is something all vape users need to know since no revewier seems to mention it or give an honest show of the usage. Because of this I myself wasted 330 bucks on what i thought was a backup to my hopper until i got home to be sorely dissapointed. I also should mention that before the power range firmware update alowing for bigger hits. The device was nothing at all as described and virtually useless. that update saved them from complete failure i suppose but in the long run i still found myself putting it aside for the hopper even resorting to sessions with my mighty due to its pathetic hits that require stupid long draws. its like everything on this vape was intentianally made to be just short of everything they said. and i’m no expert but i’m pretty sure its due to the lack of a vapor pathway to heat the air before it hits the herbs as far as i can tell the ff draws in heat and it quickly passes over a coil then hits the herbs. Whatever it is it makes the air go from hot to cool in seconds causing only the bottom to heat up. Where you can look at the hopper with its longer vape chamber and much thinner bowl. the complete opposite of the ff. the hopper’s chamber is almost an inch long and about as wide as the ff2 bowl is tall. and as long as it is wide. lol but still it can somehow vape through all the herbs in the chamber with no problem. Showing the ff2 is greatly lacking in design and power. It seems to be a very expensive super wax or oil vape so if you have alot of concentrate material and 330 to blow don’t get pen like any normal person Get the FF2. hah. or if you still want one go for it. but otherwise know, WAIT FOR THE HOPPER. its more than worth it if you are looking for that type of preformance
Someone other than me please point these things out, lol Buzz?
anyway…
I really appreciate hearing your experience and opinions, and it should help other readers get another viewpoint on the devices.
While I do use my Hopper more than my FF2, I love the vapor quality from my FF2. I can finish a bowl in just a 4-5 draws like I can with the GH, but the vapor is less hot/harsh and more flavorful. Whenever I get a new strain that smells good, I immediately reach for the FF2 for the pure smooth flavor. Ironically when I went on a road trip to Washington recently, the only two portables I took were my FF2 and my GH. I used the FF2 in the hotels at night, but used the GH all day while out and about. In my opinion unless you are very sensitive to warm vapor, the Grasshopper simply cannot be beat for a vape to carry on the go. I also completely agree with you about the GH being VERY efficient, I have tried putting the AVB into other units like the vapexhale cloud evo, and the volcano and the GH does a fantastic job of extracting everything without stirring.
Thanks for the detailed FAQ! Very informative.
I do just have one question. How does the Grasshopper compare to the MFLB? I’ve had my MFLB for almost 6 months now and I take it everywhere I go and also use it at home with the PA 2.0. However, I’ve also been following the GH campaign since it came out on Indiegogo.
Basically I just want to know how it compares to the MFLB overall. Would you suggest me buying the Grasshopper or just sticking solely to the MFLB?
Thanks in advance,
Anyone? I’m still not sure whether to buy the grasshopper or not as I own an MFLB.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Just wondering if you had any issue with the mouthpiece getting too hot. Also, I own a Crafty and it’s great, but I often find my throat a bit raw afterwards, did you experience this at all? I think the air is too hot. maybe because of the short stem on the Crafty. I had a Solo and never had this problem before.
Much thanks.
The Crafty has a bit cooler overall vapor than the GH, but the GH is like the Crafty, where it has a lot of power, so if you crank it up high on a fresh bowl, it can make some really dense vapor and be harder on your throat.
Thanks for the other answers. Also was wondering on the resistance during pulls, is it difficult like the Solo or free flowing like the Crafty?
The GH is definitely more free flowing like the Crafty. I found the Pax 2 and Air to have quite a bit of resistance compared to these two.
There was an earlier suggestion of a stealth mode (no lights) do you know if this was implemented?
I have not heard anything about this mode unfortunately.
Hey Buzz! Love the review. I was wondering what grinder you recommend for the Grass Hopper. I currently have the Space Case.
Thanks!
Space Case will be perfect. I use my Santa Cruz Shredder!
The day you were snowboarding and took 4-5 hits throughout the day, how did the flavor hold up? Was it almost as fresh at the end of the day?
Not as fresh but I could still pull decent clouds and the heat up time is definitely legit for the lift.
Hey Buzz, I have a question for you. I just got my Grasshopper 3 days ago today. And on my most recent bowl when I was killing the remainder on temp 5 at the very ends of my hits it would blink red and blue the color combo that usually means there is a problem.
Then when I shut it off it works normally again so far it seems only to happen at the end of the sessions when it gets really hot and this is the first time i’ve seen this. Have you had this happen or heard anything about it or what it could mean?
Please get back to me at you’re soonest convenience
Best,
Brandon
Hey Brandon, is it doing it with all batteries or just one?
all of them but only when its low and at the end of a session and stragely it only seems to happen when i’m using it without water piece. I did some research and some say it i something that happens when the unit senses its getting to hot it did happen again today while using it on the go and its not a red to blue flash unless the first few times where different Its a solid red that must have misenterpreted as blinking due to its change from red then back to blue relatively quickly at first it happened to quickly to be normal even for an overheating notice but I just realized I have the Hot back end which causes the whole unit to get much hotter and my battery life for all 5 of my batteries is no more than 1 bowlpack and if im lucky the start of another. I didn’t notice it because I didn’t realize it was a problem and the preformance through glass aside from battery life which did seem strange was Great. The most pure and thorough ABv i’ve even seen then after some research I ran into an article about someone in the exact situation as me who had the same issue but a perfectly performing unit. He must live in CO and know Trevor because he stopped by HOPPER LABS for a seperate reason and while Trevor was testing his unit, he noticed the backend heating when it turns out it should be room temperature and the only heat felt should be from the front end by heat transfer simply from the heater so he replaced his unit or Im pretty sure just his backend since as far as I know its only a problem with the backend alone due to its one of the few parts with wiring or a chip I dont think it has anywiring. but at the temp the back end gets its amazing the backend doesn’t get damaged Though i’m sure it will cause faster long term deterioration. Anyway so I thought maybe until I get a new backend that may have been the overheating indication reacting prematuraly due to the extra heat hitting the battery from both ends and due to the only place the unit can be held is the center of the battery where nothing but metal and battery are inside. meaning the areas that are overheating contain the sensor causing the malfunction or what seems like a potential malfunction I already submitted a warrenty unit so i guess well see if it continues, Im hoping they only sent my new back end rather than making me send in my whole unit since it still works but I guess if they do at least ill be sure everythings fine. my inner screen is also crooked? so idk maybe i should have it sent in or do you have any advice on that can it be removed or it it simply not fully inserted? they say nothing about removing the screens and they don’t look like they’re meant to be I don’t want to break it by trying to push it down if its not possible i read that it is but the screen design was different they must have upgraded the design shortly after because it looked like the preproduction screens. Any one more weird side question, Since i’m still using my GH as much and efficiently as possible but for some reason i can’t even logically make sense of the abv is PERFECT when Used through a bubbler but whenever i try to use it directly I get light to very light abv especially when I dont pack it full which wasn’t supposed to be a problem? (SIDENOTE)
The strangest problem is that I get a completely actaully an increadibly extracted ABV through vaping with water or an attachment period. but when I go to hit it directly I can only get a light brown vape at the same temp even with extra burns to be through. I’m doing more testing but I don’t see how much my results can change. IN you’re video even with direct sessions on temp 4 and 5 where darker what mine looks like is the abv on temp3 maybe close to 4 so 3.5ish ill double check after my test I need to get a picture to compare. The difference is lol for lack of better words unatural or unexplainible unless somehow putting it through water extracs more active ingreadieants tho that’s wishful thinking i’m sure. let me know what you think as you’ve had much more experiance with you’re preproduction unit and The current or whatever you got. It seems to be they’re constantly making upgrades. ie. the screen from somewhere around unit 500 and 600 between them got changed where there are only holes on edge sides and 3 of them vs the one in the middle and the 3 holes I was seeing in alot of units.
anyway im going on let me know what youre experiance between water vaped ABV and direct AVB as well as the rest And any tips for fixing a overheating back end if you have any, lots of people seem to ;find ways to fix it themselfves that work while the others are stuck sending it in. Due to my units perfect preformance aside from the angles inner screen over the heater and a dent on the mouthpiece’s very tip due to how thin they machine the tip It was dented by a light bump against my dry wall they really should make it thicker or reinforced at the very least add mouthpieces for sale like the FF does with all of its removable parts once production smooths but I hope if those are problems I can fix like i said I hope they send just the new backend to start as they did for lots at least half of the people with the issue some with pre produuctions units that actaully broke open.
Best.
Brandon
So if you had to pick between this and the crafty for a portable discreet vape, what would your choice be? Pros & cons? Also if you see the trend of reliability continues with the added improvement in battery charge time of the production units can you foresee your score changing from a 9.0 to a 9.9 or 10?
The Grasshopper is definitely more portable and discreet than the Crafty. The crafty is larger, and will take 10-15 times as long to preheat, so if you are looking for something discreet and quick to use the Grasshopper is the better choice. However I do enjoy using the Crafty more, and it has better vapor quality. It’s hard to say how high the GH rating will go, it will all depend on how it continues to perform, but it’s still working flawless after lots of continued use as of now!
How big are the differences in vapor quality? What are some of the differences?
Hey Buzz,
I would love to see some more photos of the Grasshopper….The heating chamber, mouthpiece, charger, etc. It would be great to see some detail shots while we wait for our own Grasshoppers. Love your reviews and keep up the great work! Hope to see more soon
Hey Justin,
Thanks for checking out the site man. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
We added it to the white board! We are planning to take a lot of pics of all the vapes here sometime this week and posting a lot more pics/reviews/comparisons. I’ll definitely work on getting some close ups with the GH specifically.
Thanks for the feedback Justin,
Buzz
I own a davinci ascent vaporizer and i like it but i really want a new vaporizer. The pax 2 and the grasshopper are the only ones im really interested in. Can you please help and tell me which would be the best to get?
Since you already have the Ascent which is a session conduction portable, I would go for the on demand convection Grasshopper to round out your collection over getting another session conduction unit.
Hey Buzz
Thank you for your review
Did you try the GH without grinding the herb as a one peace in the bowl? if yes, did the herb vape evenly? there is a non electric heat-convection vaporizer called Vaponic where it seems that you don’t have to grind your herb so not to loose any trichome, but it is not practical because you need to heat it manually by external fire source, have you ever try it? what do you recommend?
Thank you
I have never tried the Vaponic, so I cannot compare to that, however the Grasshopper does work pretty well without grinding, better than most of the vapes I have. I do still think it works better and vapes mroe evenly if you do grind.
Hey Buzz,
I was wondering if / when you were expecting a new production grasshopper from Matt and Trevor. Looks like they finally have produced a handful with the new parts since they showed grasshopper #4 on their update a few days ago. Would love to get updated review / FAQ.
Unfortunately I do not have an estimated date.
What’s the deal with titanium and anodized titanium? I reeeaaaly want a blue anodized titanium unit but have no clue about the toxicity of heated titanium let alone anodized metal. Is it at least as safe as stainless steel when heated? Any insight would be appreciated.
I would assume so but not for sure. I’ll be getting a colored TI here soon and I’ll be sure to reach out to Matt and Trevor to find out.
Titanium should be safer than Stainless steel. Titanium holds very little bacteria and is used in many medical applications and is very heat resistant, again mores so than certain types of Stainless steel. Anodizing should have no impact since it is just a chemical change that happens in the outermost layer of the TI when it is heated and not an added layer that is applied.
Thank you for sharing more information on the SS and Ti metals themselves Don, it’s greatly appreciated
looks awesome
I have one on order, really excited. How do you know when the battery is fully charged? Can not find that info anywhere
The LED light will blink blue instead of blinking red when the unit is charged.
excuse the novice question but I was wondering what reason there would be for using the GH above the 3rd notch? I get that it produces fuller clouds but I don’t understand the value of the clouds. If one is only concerned with medicating and not the experience of blowing clouds is there ANY reason to go above 2 or 3? At what temp/notch does one begin burning plant material?
Basically clouds are just a quick and dirty visual measure of how potent the draw was, so when you take a big rip at 4 or 5 and blow out a cloud you can often get fully medicated and be set in a single draw which is really nice if you are out and about and just want to top up, or you don’t have time for a long session. If you take draws at lower temperature you will have to take more draws to get the same level of effect, but the lower temp draws will taste better, and be smoother. Certain oils in herbs are also only released at certain temperatures, so you may not get entirely the full effects if you use the lower temps compared to the higher temps. Some times the lower temps give a more active effect, and higher temps can give a more full and lazy effect
Any suggestions on how to be patient for ordered grasshoppers that won’t be available til August (if that)?
The closer you pay attention, the slower it feels, so I would attempt to push it to the back of your mind, like the old saying goes “A watched pot never boils”
Hey, was just wondering if you knew if they have started to produce GH which is fixed and upgraded.
The Grasshopper has been getting tweaks/upgrades throughout the whole production process, as they find improvements they just add them right into production. The GH’s shipping now have all the latest tweaks/upgrades.
Nice, ordered mine a few days ago. Its no rush to get it, but it will be my first vape and im pretty hyped. Just hope they can follow up their new shipping estimation. Do you get an extra battery if they dont ship it in time, or is it something i made up?
Cheers
Some people definitely got extra batteries when they shipment dates were not met, but assuming they have finally ironed out their estimations I assume that practice will stop.
can you vape concentrates like oil and wax with the GH ?
While Grasshopper Labs has not released the oil/concentrate front end which they are working on, people have still been having success with concentrates with 2 methods. The First method is to fill a bowl with herbs, and just put a tiny bit of concentrates on the top, the second is to get some organic cotton, and then wrap your dab in cotton, and then put the whole thing into the oven and rip away.
Awesome reviews….
So everyone keeps talking about how great ceramic bowls are.. What did they use for the bowl on the gh
Ceramic is one of the materials that works well for bowls because it does not impact any taste/smell, and it has good heating properties. Some of the other materials that people really like for bowls are glass, and stainless steel. The Grasshopper uses a stainless steel bowl, which is also used in the Pax 2 and the Crafty/Mighty
How do you know when a bowl is consumed?
For me its mostly when the herbs are a dark brown in color and not putting out any more vapor. I also save all my AVB (already vaped bud) in a mason jar and make butter or wax with the leftovers.
Hey there, I just ordered my titanium Grasshopper today! Super excited, especially with the long anticipated new internals! Love your reviews and Instagram pics. Not gonna lie, I’m a bit jealous of the scenery! Anyways, I had a question that I don’t really hear anyone mentioning…
With the power button, does it ever accidentally get clicked on while on the go? Is there a magnetic safety cap that can be purchased so that the button can’t be pressed in a coat pocket or in a purse/backpack? I feel like if it doesn’t have some sort of locking mechanism, it could be a safety hazard. If they haven’t come up with that at all, could you mention it to them? Maybe something as simple as a quarter turn of the power button to lock it or even simpler, just a study magnetic cap that clicks on and sits flush with the top of the button. Anyways, have you noticed any issues with it accidentally powering on while on the go?
Thank you so much for the kind words Alyson!!! I absolutely love it out here. Exploring around taking pics of vapes is pretty fun lol. I’ve never had an issues with the Grasshopper turning on accidentally. You have to press pretty good to get it to turn on. But that is a great idea if people did start to have issues with it! Have you got your Grasshopper yet? How is it going so far?
