    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    There are 2 magnets, the one in the middle section that goes in from the bottom, and it attracts the steel bearing in the top, and a magnet that is in the bottom. With the middle bearing removed, neither top or bottom would be attracted. I think a shorter bearing in the middle might only attract...

    My adopted stray Fred, left for a different dimension yesterday. He was with me for almost 10 years, and he was seen around the neighborhood for at least 8 years before that. I also have a 13.5 year old male dog, Jasper, and a female stray cat, Ziggy, of the same vintage as Fred, living out...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Mine has ground 5 or 6 grams flawlessly. It has also been busy grinding air, bushels and bushels of air without a single problem. And it even grinds upside down thanks to the magnet,

    I can get mine open with one hand, but it is a disaster waiting to happen if the grinder is full.

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    I love the grooves on the sides, just what I had imagined. The magnet is important for me, but only when I am playing with it. In use I can live without it. I guess an all ceramic bearing in the founder’s editions would accomplish the same thing.

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    I don’t have an issue with opening my Aroma-3, but there are some strong magnets in use (which I like). However, it looks like Ben could add the same finger pull design from the top to the 6 outer lobes of the 2 bottom pieces. I don’t know if his current fixturing and milling process would allow...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    The problem is the tight fit. If both the top and bottom are parallel when assembled, they will go together without issue. Any mis-alignment is compounded by the length of the center post. Remember, it is also a fidget spinner, so play with it regularly, and don’t force it. Things will loosen...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Mine came in an outer package like you have. Inside was a pad envelope wrapped around the grinder. There were instructions of some sort that taped the padded envelope shut. At least that is what I remember, I was like a 4 year old on Xmas morning when it came to opening it.

    The article points out in 2021 there were 3054 pediatric poisonings from cannabis products (no deaths). In 2017 there were 3371 juvenile gun deaths (as in no longer alive). Guess which will get regulated first?

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    After spending a night of alone time, 1 on 1, with the Old Mate, this morning I went for the ménage à trois and included some weed. I ground a fluffy 0.62 g bud and the catch was about 1/3 full. The grind also came out very fluffy. Very easy grinding also.

    The BCG has a nice UHMW wear ring that takes up the vertical wear and makes it rotate well. It doesn‘t have anything that reduces friction in the axial motion, so there will be wear eventually. The Old Mate has a bearing that handles the vertical load as well as the axial load.

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    I checked my shipping update this morning and it was still sitting after arriving in the US a few days ago. This afternoon it was in the mail box. I was an early believer, serial number 015. The design and the matching are nearly perfect. This is truly an amazing beta run. There is also a...

    Now you have me worried that mine will be entirely upside down, hard to fill and then all the weed will fall out when opened.
