Hopper Labs →The Hopper Labs Grasshopper IO by Hopper Labs is a pen-shaped portable convection vaporizer in stainless steel or titanium. It heats up in seconds and delivers on-demand vapor. The IO version is the improved revision. Check the price comparison at 200 to 350 euros.
Pen Format with Power
The Grasshopper IO looks like a thick ballpoint pen. That disguise makes it the most discreet vaporizer on the market. Despite the size pure convection delivers surprisingly strong vapor. Heat-up under 5 seconds.
Research context: A study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Hazekamp et al., 2006) showed that vaporisation at controlled temperatures releases over 95% of target compounds while largely avoiding combustion by-products. Source: PubMed 16637053
IO: The Improved Version
IO marks the revised version. Hopper Labs improved the electronics, boosted reliability, and addressed early issues. The basic layout stays: convection, steel or titanium, swappable battery.
Steel or Titanium
Titanium is lighter with better heat dissipation — stays cooler in hand. Steel costs less and is also durable. Both produce identical vapor.
Swappable Battery
Big plus: the battery is removable. Carry a spare and swap on the go. Single battery lasts about 4-6 sessions.
