    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Sweet, time to knock one person off the Christmas shopping list! I freaking love my titanium one, dropped it twice before I got used to handling it fully (that spinning top is tricky at first!) and it has come out in mint condition. I don't get why people complain about the weight, it was...

    Induction Heater MAD Heaters - Innovative Dynavap Accessories

    Just ordered a Reload gen2 and Revolve gen2 in blue along with some extras last night, looking forward to getting them (hopefully) soon, assuming next round of stock passes QA! The Tempest looks intriguing and almost had me wait, but I think this will be a satisfying upgrade to my M plus.

    One more of the design etched to the bottom. The color is really hard to capture on camera well but everything was done electric blue at 85V. I love how the rebel phoenix squadron etching turned out.

    Not in hand yet but Ben shared some pictures and videos as he finished mine up today. I'm extremely happy with how everything looks and now it's on the way I cannot wait to get my hands on them! I love how the two-tone anodizing worked out as well as the pipe being done to make a matching...

    I read into it so much and it really takes a lot of surface prep to make it look good. I'm super impressed with what you've managed to do in your journey on this!

    I got a pic a few days ago after he did the new anodizing on the titanium ones. I'm digging it hard-core. Can't figure out how to add the link without getting an error so hopefully you can see this link. Looking sweet!

    I'm still on the lookout for mine but I told him to take his time because the only rush would be from anticipation and that's not how nice things work! I'd asked for mine to be anodized at 85-87v IIRC which would be an electric blue and now Ben's got his new equipment I'm most excited to see a...

    Smell Proof Stash bag

    I got the large in tan based on your comment and it is awesome. Feels sturdy, no smell (until you open it :lol:), and can stand upright (slight tilt back) on its own. My only concern was the zipper not running as smooth around the corners which may foreshadow future issues but I didn't see...

    I was good waiting however long it took for the improved anodizing process but now I'm pretty psyched to hear it'll be on the way soon! Thanks for that quick follow up amd cant wait to see how it turns out! Appreciate all your efforts!

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    His last reply to me on my titanium version order sounded like he's trying to get what he can shipped out in the next week or so but not guaranteed. I assume that's the same for the other submitted orders but at the same time I'm just going with late June to early July because then I won't...

    It's discussed in previous pages but the gist of it is that the bearing functions to spin the top to grind. The NTN bearing is heavy duty and will last longer than the others with the color designation, but it won't spin freely for as long. The others he offers can spin for a while but the NTN...

    Aroma 2 updated with Aroma 3 improvements. Hoping to see some updates on the custom PEEK bearings he's ordered soon! He also said in an order update he's got new anodizing equipment coming which which should give a better finish on the titanium grinders.

    Pebble - SS Herb Grinder

    I'm not as up on equipment after a long hiatus, is this kind of ripping on the OM post design or was that a thing before the OM grinders came into existence? Edit: wow ok I was deciding between OM and BCG a couple weeks ago before going OM and honestly never noticed the center post in the...

    Nah just whetstones... it's therapeutic to me and I enjoy the feedback they provide.

    I said the same recently on VA (and also a bit of a knife nerd). Polished stainless pots like All Clad become dull if cleaned in the dishwasher even though they are dishwasher safe and a knife edge or, in this case, grinder teeth edges will dull over time from the abrasives in the detergent...
