well you have been smarter than me!
I was in your situation, I live in France, I had a SS GH from vaposhop, hot backend as well, but I did send my unit in Boulder Colorado and it came back with the following message:
:/ :/ :/
Probably not as magnets lose potency after exposure to heat AFIK.I think future GH iterations should maybe use a strong magnet for the mouth piece so we don't have to worry about keeping threads clean. I hope that's possible.

Resource thread?Am I the only one removing screen and cone for every cleaning?
IMO if it's not taken apart and each piece cleaned separately every cleaning, it's gonna seize up from resin build up.
GHL should supply a screen removal tool for each device sold IMO.
You can't convince me that the GHL engineers didn't know this when designing.
Maybe they didn't have an original DaVinci vape.
I learned my cleaning lesson on that device.
Anyone having trouble removing it, heat the mouthpiece up with a hair dryer while not on unit.
Hold mouthpiece with a pair of hemostats/pliers and heat that fucker up good.
Then immediately try turning counterclockwise with precision tweezers, found mine at Menards for <$5, might have to screw it back and forth to break any stubborn resin.
After removing screen, you have essentially chased the threads inside clean.
After dismantling I soak all parts in Iso for a few, and then wipe all, and threads clean with q-tips.
Then everybody in the pool to take a quick HOT water soak.
Don't forget about those backend threads, internal contact too.
Hope this helps
Edit: if screen stops unscrewing heat that fucker up again!
I am not removing the screen to clean my mouthpiece... as it is not recommended (mentioned) from ghl... the gh manual is recommending to soak the mouthpiece as a whole in iso...Am I the only one removing screen and cone for every cleaning?

Did you try only soaking the mp in iso... is there any residue after soaking the whole mp without removing screen and then soaking everthing separatly in iso....

Resource thread?
I don't know if this was posted here before, but I'm drooling over this weed /u/CakeBonzai posted on reddit. Seems like the strain is Skywalker Kush or something like that.

I can tell you that I've soaked the mouthpiece in ISO numerous times. Today my screen fell out. And there was definitely stuff still in there. I haven't soaked the mouthpiece that long in ISO so maybe that makes a difference.
Definitely get the Nitecore. There's a good chance it's just a charging problem. In the meantime it may just be metal debris or dirt on the charger.Second week of having my TI hopper, no lights during charging and just gives flickering red lights upon start up submitted warranty already.
T'was really great when it worked tho, and hope its just something minor like the charger ... Anyone else encounter this ?
In the mean time just going to order a nitecore charger, case and back to my other back up vapes
Kudos in how quick a replacement arrived following my warranty request... My replacement titanium body arrived yesterday but was too busy until night time to try it out, lo and behold no heat and purple lights... tried different batteries and even tried my ss backend to no avail. Not a happy bunny. So now ghl will be sending me a new ti body and I will send them back 2 dead titanium bodies. Also vapefiend will be sent my complete ss hopper to return to ghl for me. Although I am certainly not going to be sending my ss back until I receive a working ti unit. Maybe ghl should test units and also replacement parts before sending them out. I bought 2 so 1 could be a backup when 1 goes in for service. I don't remember who it was on this forum, but whoever suggested a backup gh for their backup you are definitely onto something... :/ if funds were readily available I envisage 7 hoppers, 1 for each day. Tbf probably a good job thats not the case as I would end up carrying all of them loaded with different strains, all labelled.
Titanium and Stainless Steel have different coefficients of thermal expansion. Which means they expand at different rates over temperature
What a saga, Joe!I think I'm screwed....
This mouthpiece has taken an hour of my time and it's now "almost out" but totally seized at the last few turns. I had to put this fucker in hot water to get it loose, and I hadn't realized that Titanium and Stainless Steel have different coefficients of thermal expansion. Which means they expand at different rates over temperature...
Anyway, I'm in an un-usable state with the hopper until I either get the screen out, or, back in.
I should've read @btka 's admonishment of his own that maybe this is a bad idea if it's been too long and there's too much build up.
We'll see, I'll keep ya'll posted.
EDIT: I got the bastard! The one thing that should be added to the process is:
If it seems to be seized, rap the fucker on the table (carefully of course). It needs a little shock now and then.
But, assuming I get it back in (stay tuned!), it seems worth the trouble, because it's loaded with gooey resin.
EDIT: SUCCESS.
More tips for the stubborn screens:
• Make every effort to place those tweezer points at the very edge of the screen. Obviously GH has a tool to position the screen (there are three "grab points" on its circumference).
• To screw it back in, use a table surface with the MP pointing down, place the tweezers firmly, and screw the MP counterclockwise rather than attempting to screw the screen clockwise. Much better control that way. Also, less force is better, as the threads should glide rather smoothly. You may encounter a snag or two or three, but take a breath and back off and then continue.
Back to the clouds Good night!
