Most important things would probably be

1.) Hold it upside down when you clean the main chamber by swabbing with a q-tip dipped in ISO.

2.) Use a high % ISO. 91% or higher is best. 71% isn't terrible, but avoid anything lower. (I saw at Walmart they had 50%, like what the actual fuck, who wants to pay for 50% water?)

3.) Let the thing COMPLETELY DRY after cleaning. Take it apart and let it air dry for like at least 30 minutes.

4.) I highly recommend getting an external Nitecore charger and some extra batteries, but if you do use the cable I wouldn't recommend leaving it unattended. It even says in the manual to not let it charge unattended and plug it into a surge protector. You want to be there to unplug it in case something fucks up.

With the external chargers you won't have to worry about that. Leaving batteries unattended on a Nitecore charger is safe because they are loaded with safety features and come from a very reputable company. Also, you can charge up to 4 batteries at a time and still use a different battery in your Hopper.

5.) Don't soak the Silicone condom in ISO unless you are OK with it turning a yellow/brown color. Just swab it with a Q-tip dipped in ISO.

6.) If something isn't working right like the straight to blue issue or it isn't heating up quite as much as it used too, then look at the battery contact on your back-end. If there is black gunk on the contact, carefully swab it with a Q-tip dipped in 91% ISO. Also, make sure the threads on the back are clean. Let it dry completely before using.

7.) Never ever ever ever let air be pushed into it. Like don't blow into it.



Also, Idk if you have heard of delta3dstudios and their awesome attachments yet, but their funnel that is designed for the Grasshopper is simply amazing. Makes loading a cinch and fits the GH perfectly and it is only $7(it was $8 when I got it). They also make other accessories for the GH as well as for other vapes.

There's a certain type of cotton you should use if you intend to inhale through it. There's a disease called cotton lung factory workers used to get all the time. Also most cotton uses bleach to dye it and pesticides and fertilizers and stuff you really shouldn't be inhaling.

This is the cotton I use for my RDA wicks. Just seems a bit healthier.

Not sure if you care, but I thought I'd warn you. I'm just assuming since you got a vape that you want to live a long healthy life. Feel free to criticize my thoughts, I just want everyone to be happy and healthy.


Edit: forgot url for cotton.

Most cigar cases (or cigar tube)will fit nicely. And there are a ton of cool ones out there!

Just add a little foam padding to the top and bottom for extra cushion.

This is what I ordered, though there are also stainless steel ones as well. Plus the wood won't scratch the metal Grasshopper.

Just be sure to check your dimensions.

Hope this helps!

Get the extra battery (each one can get me through around 1.5 bowls), WPA piece (water pipe attachment that works better than the normal front end - less draw resistance) and an external charger. I recommend the nitecore D2 - the one I bought can be found here:

Enjoy your Hopper! Thing is amazing.

Solar should work fine, but keep in mind that solar chargers are very inconsistent and the rating shown is in optimal conditions, the real world output is far less than that.
That said, the goalzero Nomad 20 should do nicely, my Nomad 7 didn't charge the battery to any useful amount.

I've had good results using Deoxit on the backend threads. Cleans everything really well and helps keep the backend cool

Thanks!

All I was trying to say is this case is a perfect fit for the hopper + 3 extra batteries + a stir tool + 2 tubes of herb + crafty cooling unit with attached firewood 3 mouthpiece: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VLP8H94?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

That's all.

DONT apply 5V on the hoppers body! The battery is direcly connectet to the body and 5V will kill your battery ( and may be the electronics). You can see the polarity in the picture. http://imgur.com/a/y1GDo
you can use a cheap lipo /liion usb charger to charge the battery.
Something like this (amazon ca)
The hopper charger cable has a module like that in the black thing near the USB plug. May be the exact same thing. ( didn't check ). So the hopper cant do anything with 5V (except die and explode).

However. Making something that will attach nicely to the hopper and make good contact will be hard to make. You will need a round magnet some nice solution for the contacts to rebuild the original charger. Or you take big ass alligator clips or solder wires on (pls no).
you could take the charger module and make a really chap lipo/liion charger. But that will be hard to make nicely again. Even if you have a maker space with a 3D printer laser cutter tools ect...
If you have still questions feel free to ask.

Battery will drain fast.

See if you can find a Nitecore charger at Walmart or a similar store or just same day order one from Amazon:

Good luck!

https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-i2-Intellicharge-Charger-Battery/dp/B0096U26QQ

It doesn't seem to be sold in physical stores but you can get it from amazon pretty quick.

Ok didn't have tags or anything but data_eater got one just like mine at @: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VLP8H94
and also a link to his thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrassHopperVape/comments/4lcts5/i_heard_it_was_portable_but_wow/
Apparently its made by case star for holding school supplies.
Happy Vaping!

• Grasshopper was $150 (earlier pre-order)
  
  
• one battery comes with it and us early delayed orders got an extra battery free as compensation for the initial delivery delay. So I bought 2 more batteries for $7 a piece
  
  
• 2 battery cases (only 1 is necc so far) - $6.25
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QG9KXE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• nitecore i4 battery charger $17.40
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UAI372/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• nitecore car adapter - $5 - haven't used yet, but wanted to be battery ready for the hopper
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MC94VLG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  The major jar and extra lids to drill into and old whip were just laying around, so the bubbler is basically recycled.
  
  I'll let you total that up. IMO, way the hell worth it. Between mobile use and waterpipe use, the hopper is visciously versatile. Hope that helps.

This charger would probably be fine, maybe get the 4-bay version if you get more batteries. They charge back up to full pretty quickly though so it's not a big deal.

Couldn't find the exact set I got (wasn't on amazon) but [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Scientific-Plastic-Container-Cylindrical-bottom/dp/B01M8M33G4) is an example, and [here] (http://imgur.com/a/qlm64) is what I have. I bought them about a year ago and can't find the exact site, if I do I'll edit it in, but the ones on amazon should do the same thing.

EDIT: [Sauce] (http://www.lcmlab.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=23) I bought the 17mm. Don't be me and buy yourself a 12mm. I'm sure mine will be fine I'm just a tad ocd and I hate knowing I bought a greater-than-the-diameter set. Oh well.

edit 2: ordered the 12mm

I stumbled across [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Mudder-Stylus-Pencil-Executive-Fountain/dp/B01C6U3N6O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486874755&sr=8-3&keywords=pen+case+hard+shell#customerReviews) which I like for some reason.

If you're going to try this make sure to use food grade silicon tubing like this one: http://www.amazon.com/High-Temp-Grade-Silicone-Tubing/dp/B00FXAA0BQ

Considering it's the last of a long list of things they promised to make, and that it was supposed to launch winter 2018 (i think), I wouldn't put any faith in it coming out soon at all. Just get a nitecore i4 and use that.

I ordered something similar to Tubasco ... can fit all the necessities. Not so much of a "hardshell" but does the trick
