No (R) like
http://www.spacecasegrinders.com
I bought from the second sellers and you know last night i set it down on carpet near the door walked back in and kicked it enough to ever so slighty see a bit of silver through the titanium. And to import again the biggest to the UK is really expensive i am gutted because you could not buy spares and god dammit my OCD is killing me over this tiny little chip on an otherwise immaculate grinder
So who is actually IS the maker and are the second site somehow scamming? They told me once they are a retailer of spacecase but the logos clearly look different as i said mine have (R) after spacecase. So i need to order a brand new one because i finally figured out how to end my conundrum about grinder evolution. Im sticking with the biggest grinder i can find because i find a 30mm herborizer mini grinder. If you know Herborizer its quality and the best way i can think of with dealing with chunky space case grinds.
Because Large = 88mm mini grinder = 30mm you simply grind into the space case and take out a pinch into the mini grinder and its small enough to tip out into the spacecase again. I thought i was going mad about how i would fix the chunky grind issue and me kicking it but no this is it mini grinder and a replacement kief compartment for my titanium would be golden!
Hey man, I understand the confusion, believe me. I've trawled through dozens of threads online trying to get accurate information about the true manufacturers. I can say for certain that
www.spacecase.com is the authentic manufacturer. I have spoken to the son (Dustin) of the original manufacturer, he came off as completely genuine, and I have no doubt that
www.spacecase.com is the home base for the manufacturer. The newer Space Cases out there had me thinking they were fakes for a long time, but they are genuine. The (R) symbol has been removed as a design choice, and they now come in a range of colours. This one detail had me convinced fakes had overwhelmed the market, but I was wrong.
I asked Dustin if
www.spacecasegrinders.com and
www.spacegrinders.com were authorised resellers, and he said that they do sell to them as a reseller, they aren't scamming, but I was unsure of them myself, and I didn't make an order there. If you want to buy direct from source, with the life-time warranty etc, go to
www.spacecase.com. They are currently working on the website SEO and security, but I would think it will be sorted soon.
If you have any doubts, they are active on the Facebook page I linked above, that's how I got in touch eventually. If you message them there, maybe they will be able to sell you just a new replacement piece, rather than having to replace a whole new grinder.
This is a part of the conversation we had last night, it helps explain why there is really so much confusion around Space Case makers. I've been on a mystery tour through the internet to get to this point!
"My dad has owned these url's for a long time, only about a year ago he asked for help to set up the website and we also set up some social media.
In the past he was making product and letting others be the front, now with all the counterfeit issues, it's time to take back control of the brand and more importantly be the official voice for Space Case.
For now we have serious work to do on SEO, but as you are painfully aware, we are a bit behind."
This is Dustin, son of the original manufacturer/machinist, a humble and friendly guy, and you can reach them at that Facebook (
https://www.facebook.com/theoriginalspacecase/). The amount of time that has been put into setting up hundreds of photos of the Space Case hanging out in Californian woodland settings etc - only the true manufacturers would dedicate so much effort to such aesthetically pleasing promo stuff!
Like I mentioned above, a great way for Space Case to end the confusion would be to create verified accounts at various online forums and get the word out that there is a public-facing side to them, and we don't have to deal with re-sellers if we don't want to. Hopefully they will be able to do that here.
Not a great test, I know, but something came up that bothered me. After that one grinding, turning didn't feel as smooth as before. Gave it a quick ISO swab but still. I had the idea to change the plastic friction rings between my old one and the new and with the used ring it did feel smoother to turn. Not as smooth as the old one though, which mysteriously became even smoother with the new ring!
