My factory 2nd Aroma 3 is on its way and will be my first high end grinder. Is there a need to clean it or are they ready to use out of the box?

They are cleaned after they are machined according to one of the recent YouTube videos he did, however for mine I just did an iso wipe on the inside and put some iso on a qtip to wipe down the teeth which only took a few minutes.

It will never be cleaner than when new,

Thank you. Nice extra service from Old Mate Designs to clean them that thoroughly before selling

Honestly any company sending dirty grinders out should be ashamed of themselves lol It is kind of sad how many vape companies and paraphernalia arrive filthy brand new. Not a concern with OMD!

Machine oil and coolant, not to mention swarf, is nasty stuff. It should never be allowed to make it to a customer. I imagine grinders like this are a huge pain to clean well given all the nooks and crannies. The cleaning and stages, as well as the drying racks, really stuck out to me as a nice way to scale up their operation.

Leaving the lids bare without any engraving was a great choice. I specially requested it removed from my Aroma 3, and it's beautiful. Really lets the design of the grinder shine. The OMD grinders are so iconic at this point there isn't any need to obviously brand it.

Thank you Ben! Everything look incredible! I'm sure we all really appreciate the hard work and this video has me so excited for the F.E. A-3-XL! (...and no, that's not Elon's new kids name )

That XL looks super nice. I was kinda on the fence about not having the engravings on the top piece but now that I see it in-hand, I think the clean look looks great, especially on the XL

Also, which one of you ballers put there is gonna pick up this bad boy?
