grasshopper vaporizer review 2015

Grasshopper Vaporizer Review Video [4K] ~12:24The Grasshopper vaporizer by Hopper Labs is the first vaporizer to come to fruition via crowdfunding.It has taken them a while to get to where they are today in 2017 with the original crowdfunding backers waiting roughly 18 months to get their units, followed to a pre-order period during 2015 and 2016 with wait times as long as 6 months.Now as of 2017 they are shipping on-demand with no more pre-ordering.The first thing that blew me away when I got my Grasshopper was how fast the unit heats up.Literally seconds after clicking the button the unit was showing a blue LED indicating it was ready to go.No other battery powered vaporizer will get a session in as quick as the Grasshopper can.The next thing you will notice is that it has a spinning dial on the back end that allows you to fully adjust the temperature from 130 °C – 210 °C (266 °F – 410 °F).It’s very sleek, slim and carries a bit of weight “for a pen”.As for a vape… it’s one of the lightest portable vaporizers currently on the market.

I recently weighed my other light portable vapes and to find the Grasshopper (65g) was roughly 30 grams lighter than the brand new Pax 3 which came was next in line (95g).The Grasshopper is currently rated a 9.3 out of 10 and ties for the best portable vaporizer out of the 100+ different vaporizers I’ve tested now.It is tied for my highest rated portable where it excels in size/portability as well as discreetness due to the quick sessions and being one of the least smelly vapes.When you have the grasshopper in your hands you will really notice the quality and craftsmanship of the unit, it just feels really nice, the clicker feels great, and everything threads nicely.You can order the Grasshopper directly from Hopper Labs for $200 for the Stainless Steel version.Or you can pick up the Titanium Grasshopper for $250.Both units come with a lifetime warranty.The Grasshopper is one of the smallest and most concealable vapes currently on the market.It directly mimics the look of a pen and the clip makes it easy to keep in your jean/short pockets or in the front pocket of your shirt.

The exact dimensions are The Grasshopper is about 5.60” in length and 0.55” diameter.The Stainless Steel model will weigh about 65g and the Titanium model weighs roughly 56 grams.

This allows the Grasshopper to heat in about 5 seconds and provides basically on-demand heat.My preferred method of use is to hit the tactile clicker, take my draw, and then hit the clicker again to turn it off.

This is where the Grasshopper shines.You can pull nearly as hard as you want and it will keep producing vapor.I really like this because I can take a couple hits and be completely medicated in a couple minutes.As opposed to other session vapes like the Arizer Air or Pax 3, you can sit with those and take 10-15+ draws over the course of 10-15 minutes.I like the longer sessions for relaxing at home watching TV, but when I’m out on the go, I prefer a quicker on-demand vape.The chamber is good sized the overall size of the vape.I was able to get up to .3 grams with a tight pack and a fine grind.However my I normally pack in .1 or .2g.One great thing about the Grasshopper is that it will work great with a completely filled chamber, or you can even just throw in a few crumbs and vape.Whereas a lot of other vapes work best only with a full chamber.Since the Grasshopper is very strong you can completely vape an entire bowl in only a few draws if you have the lung-power.It also cooks the bowl very evenly with no need to stir.

It is not necessary, but it is an enjoyable upgrade over the stock mouthpiece.The Grasshopper comes with a lifetime warranty.Only a couple vapes in the market come with a lifetime warranty.This is a HUGE pro and another reason why I like this vaporizer so much.Matt and Trevor were very adamant about standing behind their product.They will either fix or replace your unit for the life of the unit and I don’t have any doubt that they will take care of their customers.If you aren’t quite sold on the Grasshopper but would like to stick with a convection on-demand unit, I recommend checking out the Firefly 2.The Firefly 2 is a huge improvement over the original with the same amazing taste and vapor production as the original.It’s definitely bigger than the Grasshopper but you can still pocket it and quick sessions are one of the best ways to remain inconspicuous.The Firefly 2 won’t hit as hard as the Grasshopper, but it has smoother/cooler vapor, and works great with concentrates.If you don’t mind a session style vaporizer and still want to stick with the most portable unit, I recommend checking out the Pax 3.

The Pax 3 is one of the most durable, reliable and consistent portables currently out on the market.Plus it has an option for concentrates.All in all, I was immediately blown away by the heat up time and craftsmanship of the Grasshopper, and now years later I am still dragging my hopper around Skiing, biking, and just out on the town.No vape is like the Grasshopper.On-demand heat, Discreet size, and smell, large bowl, evenly vapes herbs, and a lifetime warranty.Whether you are looking for your first vape or you are a vape connoisseur you will fall in love once you hold it, and realize how quick it heats up.Beginner and advanced users alike will get exactly what they need out of this vape.It’s extremely easy to use, produces great taste and huge clouds.Matt told me multiple times that they designed the Grasshopper to replace a pipe experience.It’s supposed to be fast and get you medicated quickly, but you can also stop using it mid-bowl without wasting your herbs.It does all of this very well while being the size of a pen.Update 2017: Grasshoppers are officially shipping on-demand with no pre-orders!
