    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Awesome, just wanted to check the dimensions as well. 8x22x7mm were the specific ones used right? Thick vape, it does look really nice with the ball bearings and clear strip over it. It also does that optical illusion where the balls look to be going the opposite way when the lid is spinning fast

    Update 2 regarding stuck lid: I replaced NTN bearing with a bones red as it was available and cheap. Shielded side down towards the teeth and unshielded side up. Works much better to get the lid on and off than it was before and spins for 30 seconds with a good flick. @LesPlenty gonna try one...

    Thank you so much for standing behind your product like this, it really is great to see. Im gonna try to swap this bearing out myself first as bearings are cheap to get locally and see if it helps. Don't need you to go through international shipping yet for any replacement parts as it's a...

    Just to update my review a bit on the sticking lid, it has become worse the longer I have been using it. It now sticks about 3/10 times I try to close the lid and has become much harder to take the lid off of the grinder. I have cleaned out any bud residue on the center post and even the teeth...

    The Pinky: an open-source DIY injector style thermal extraction device

    It would be almost impossible to get the metal coil around the lip and then snug enough over the glass for this to work

    This is the same sort of dilemma i was running into, hopefully it just needs a little time. It unfortunately does not help if it is in my hand or on the table, but I will keep using this grinder for the next month to see how it does and keep reporting. After a few oz have gone through it, im...

    You are so awesome, I just wanted to bring it up in case you were still making revisions for the final product. If it breaks in a bit I will let you know, but I will probably give it more like a month to really give it a chance

    I have now had more time to use the grinder and I really do like it a lot. This grinder seems to work better the more bud you throw into it. Just gives a very consistent, slightly finer than medium, grind. Idk if anyone has had a similar small issue with their grinder. It is getting hung up on...

    Exactly the same experience I had. Mine literally just got delivered Im number 47, with NTN bearing. Top of the grinder came without any engraving like everyone I have seen posted. I think so many people asking probably pushed him to just leave it blank unless asked for something special, so he...

    DynaVap vs. Battery vapes

    Mighty is really nice as it is probably the toughest built portable session vape. I prefer my tinymight 2 for on demand as it has some amazing flavor, I even find myself reaching for it over my flowerpot sometimes when I am at home. Have you tried full convection vapes before?

    DynaVap vs. Battery vapes

    I used to think I hated battery powered portable vapes because I was told to try a pax as it was the "best" (I think their marketing and fan base confuse many new to vaping). After never getting great effects or even decent flavor I wrote off portable vaping for years. Now i have a mighty and...

    mine has shipped, hopefully it is engraved up top because i actually like it but to each their own. He seems like a super amicable guy willing to please the customer so hats off to him.

    What is the most durable electric portable vaporizer? (non torch driven)

    Roffu looked promising just wasnt sure how they have held up over the last year and if they worked past a fall or two. Are there any glass components internally with the roffu?

    What is the most durable electric portable vaporizer? (non torch driven)

    Fishing, skiing, running on the beach, etc. I do a lot but would like a vape usually to use for 5 to 10 min between activities or right after I am done. I have a tm2 but dont like bringing it with me when moving too much

    What is the most durable electric portable vaporizer? (non torch driven)

    Probably looking at the mighty but what else is super durable and can handle a large drop? Maybe the AVLP or roffu?

    This should be the bearing (i think) if you wanted to order a spare ntn, I was looking which to order as well. Cheap but shipping from china so who knows how long it will take...

    Gotchu now, the red ntn is the only ntn bearing so the black should also be a better bearing meaning the black one would have the colored heat treated look. Just linked the black better bearing to show it easier. I think ntn only has red as they dont really care about color for industrial use

    they all appear to have that heat treated look, you can see it easier on the product page for better bearings. https://betterbearings.us/collections/skateboard-bearings/products/lickety-splits-8pk
