    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Behold, the Brass Cap! I wasn't a huge fan of the removable lid design initially, but I've since changed my mind. Anyone with access to a 3d printer (ie. anyone with an internet connection these days) will be able to have some custom plates printed up should they choose. Even better if...

    Best Ways to Vape Hash?

    I've tried grinding hash, cutting with scissors, chopping with a knife, making snakes, etc, etc... These days, I just use a ZX ball vape, a little vape cotton on the bottom of the bowl and just drop a chunk in as is. First inhale heats it up. Then stir it up. Doesn't need to be neat. I just...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    This isn't the finalized version of the XL, but I thought I'd drop a quick vid showing the spin with some hybrid bearings. The dual bearing design allows you to use less accurate but high spin bearings and still maintain very little rocking. You can set adjust the teeth height much lower than...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    I would like to think that anyone ordering a first run pre-order of a product will be fine with some delays and issues to be worked out! I just received #002 and it looks fantastic! I do see some slight issues with the cap to be sorted, so I'll leave the full review for later, but it's looking...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Awesome! And also damn it. I really don't need to be spending more money. lol For a wireless ZX, or a ZX wireless sleeve, I'd be very happy with enough mass for a single pull that would clear a ZX bowl. I just want the wire gone for convenience really. I don't mind the recharge process or...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I have not heard of the Hornet before. Nice! Does the narrow end fit into a 14mm female socket at all? Must learn and aquire!! Of course nothing will beat an attached coil, but that's really only because of the loose fit all solutions today use. I'd love to see the current design of coils...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Because the ZX is tiny and the dimensions look pretty straightforward (no crazy curves, etc...), I'm wondering if a simple machined stainless steel sleeve would work. It can be machined simply (it's just a cone cut into a cylinder!) that fits over the ZX and has an OD of 20mm for a hot coil. It...

    Personally, I'd love to have a wireless ZX. Small narrow bore one hit wonder injector but with more mass designed for wireless use.

    Arizer XQ2

    Pack it down so it stays put. This loose pack should come in under .1g with a medium grind and hydrated bud: The rest is up to you. You can pull directly from a whip, run it through a bubbler, put a mouthpiece on and pull directly, or even put on an 18mm hydrotube. Here's a sample...

    Arizer XQ2

    Combine: Move the grommet up or down to get the end of the WPA a few mm away from the screen when inserted. When on the XQ2, my basket screen is maybe 5mm from the heater : Inhale from the WPA joint end to load your bowl. Make absolutely sure the basket screen is in...

    Arizer XQ2

    Sorry, long multipart post due to media limits. Hope this is okay! So, a little baked and randomly browsing around, I ran into this thread and just had to dust off my XQ2! I think the whole line of Arizer desktops have been overlooked (rightfully so in stock form), and Arizer could...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Anyone else enjoying straight old school hash with the ZX? I'm finding the restricted airflow works really well! I have an old acrylic S&B grinder with pointy teeth that works amazingly well at grinding all types of soft hash. It comes out as millimetre bits, and a .1g load on vape cotton at...

    Forgot to add that if you tend to be heavy handed at brushing and tend to push out the screen when cleaning your bowl, use 2 screens. Those indents for the screens are a lot more secure when you have 2 screens in there. No real change to airflow either.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I change screens all the time and that's the biggest annoyance. You can get around it by: - Take the screen out and clean your bowl - Take the time to put a screen in the position you want - Find a 12mm dowel, drill bit, or anything that fits well into the bowl. - Push the dowel into the...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I thought about filling the injector nozzle with rubies, but since the coil doesn't go that low, I figured it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Might have to give it a try, thanks! I did fill the ZX with a 5mm layer of gem cut rubies, then an extra screen and the rest of it with 3mm balls. This...
