Ha! More proof
and get you high, Grasshopper pens
only
get you high. Because why the hell would I want the option to record
the administrative tasks of my day when I also have the option to ignore
them in favor of sucking on a Bic-shaped vaporizer?
that if pens wish to avoid extinction they better start bringing more
to the table than a barrel full of ink! In fact, Grasshopper makes the
biggest leap of all--the one I've been waiting for: it eliminates the
writing function altogether! Grasshopper pens don't make to-do lists
Like the VaporBLUNT,
the Grasshopper is a completely portable, self-contained herbal
vaporizer. However, instead of modeling itself after a chubby Crayola,
Conrad Behrman, Matthew Most, and Trevor Vita have fashioned their
durable and discreet inhalation station after a contemporary and elegant
ball point. The basic model's exterior housing is made from smooth
stainless steel (titanium and colored titanium upgrades are also
available) carved to be durable and comfortable to hold and store, yet
thin enough to maximize interior space for a larger battery and chamber.
To begin a Grasshopping experience, unscrew the pen's tip and load it
with your herbs of choice. After reaffixing the chamber, click the end
of the pen once to turn it on; a ring of red dotted lights will display.
Seconds later, once Grasshopper has heated and is ready to puff, the
red lights will turn blue. From there, lower mouth to metal and let the
chillin', relaxin', Dominoes ordering (complete with special pizza cuts and box top drawing requests), and abstinence from writing begin.
Grasshopper endeavors to further differentiate itself from other
portable vaporizers on the market with its heating technology. Direct
Metal Laser Sintering, a type of metal 3D printing, allows for the
construction of a compact heat exchanger with low flow resistance. The
30-watt heating element is also an upgrade in standard strength, and
powerful enough to keep up even during aggressive use. To control
temperature and monitor user input the vaporizer uses a pair of
microprocessors to convey information from end to end. The result: no
wires, a slimmer profile, and reduced manufacturing costs.
Grasshopper the vaporizing pen will be available for backing on Indiegogo
through December 15, 2013. Anticipated delivery if the crowdfunding
campaign is successful is February 2014. Right about the time I expect
my next hankering to watch Grasshopper the Karate Kid to hit. I imagine
the two will pair very well together.
Thanks to Wovenlore for the Dude Product Tip.
February 2014 Update: Grasshopper far achieved its funding goal (by
3-1/2 times), so its initial production run and delivery of backers'
pens is still in the works. Follow the link below to the company's
Website for further information and updates about future availability to
the general public.
