AROMA-3 Grinder

Been a stoner since '93 and this is the best grinder I've ever used. The weight and sharpness help it slice through large nugs with ease. It's super efficient, and the grind is perfect for dry herb vaping. It's beautiful. Crafted with precision, there are no touching parts; the lid floats on the bearing which is nice and weighty and satisfying to spin. This thing will last forever and eventually make for a great heirloom. The price is justified imho. The design, material, and craftsmanship are next level. Ben the guy who makes these is a legend!

The Aroma 3 grinder is very, very good. It's a heavy duty medical grade stainless steel tool that should last a lifetime.
As of writing this review, it's been five days since I received the parcel and have ground up various dense and sticky nugs each day, all of which it has handled with ease.

It is expensive, and I questioned before during and after receiving the item: is it worth the price tag?
The answer after five days, for me, is yes. It's an incredible grinder.

The Old Mate Aroma 3 is a precision CNC-machined stainless steel grinder with a solid, premium feel. Its central pinion design delivers an exceptionally smooth, effortless grind, easily handling dense material and reducing strain on the hands. Producing a consistently fluffy grind ideal for vaporising, the Aroma 3 is durable, easy to clean, and built to last.

Best grinder I’ve owned. The threadless/magnetic design is so much nicer than standard grinders, and it produces a consistent, fluffy grind that’s ideal for my vape and for joints. The build quality is excellent, feels properly premium in the hand, super solid, and the machining/fit is spot on with a really smooth action. Easy to use, easy to clean, and it looks great too. Will be buying the XL when vape fiend stock them

Side note if the bearing puller is available when buying the grinder grab it aswell as stock availability is loww

I have the Aroma 3. I just want to say thank you to all at Vapefiend. Very good service. I now need the bearing press.
And of course a massive well done to Ben over in Oz you've created a gem.
You have made the world's best grinder.
It has all been said before.
Everyone knows this is a five star product.
I just want to confirm, it is.
Innervation and design led by passion then finished utilising true craftsmanship..

Thanks

This thing is an absolute beast. Had 2 aluminium space case grinders last me 10 years each but really do feel like this will be the last grinder I ever need to buy. Brilliant design and a lot of thought goes into making these - I learned a lot by watching the Old Mate youtube channel and was even more of a reason to support this brand.

This Aroma 3 grinder is the best thing I bought for long time the weight and the craft that’s gone into making this is amazing I’m very fussy and would pick the hell out of anything. I buy to find something wrong with it but this is a tool he won’t be disappointed. Trust me. It is amazing and the guy that made it is a genius.

So it initially seemed kinda expensive… but it’s cheap in comparison to the money I’ve spent on bad grinders over the years. It’s faultless. Be sure to add it to your will and it’ll likely long outlast you.

This the real deal. Beautiful, effective, fun, pride inspiring. True craftsmanship from Old Mate. Brilliant for anyone. A god send for physical issues, especially with the optional grips.

IMHO everyone should get one. If you have any dyspraxia, hand pain or other issues, this is YOUR end game grinder. It flies through one load smoothly that takes £50 grinders four hand-hurting loads. BUT DO NOT forget to get the Grippy Boys hand grips. Adds even more friction to the gripable form. And protects your surfaces, cos she is a heavy, sculpted, half a kilo of steel. And get the bearing push/puller.

My review video shows me using it filled up with prescribed medical flower and ground USING ONE HAND!! I have to put the camera down a few times only cos you do need two hands to close and open it.

Plus it's a fidget spinner!

In reality though, it just works so fast, well and painlessly that it becomes boring. Which it should be. Until the spinning! 🌀💚 😉

This thing is truly different class.
The best and last grinder you or your descendants will ever buy, archaeologists will be telling stories in thousands of years about mysterious ancestors, and all that is known is that they ground flower in Old Mate grinders!

If you have the pennies, just get one.

This grinder is the best in the world. The CR7 of grinders. It is very expensive but it’s worth every penny - the quality difference from my old grinder is night and day and works so effortlessly. I found the top magnet very difficult to get off at first compared to the bottom one, but once you get the hang of it there is not one fault with this grinder. Unbelievable.

Is it a luxury? Yeah. Is it mad expensive? Yeah. Is it excessive? Yeah. Is it worth every penny? YEAH! I look forward to grinding my meds now, and it spins, which is fantastic

This is a very solid bit of kit with matching weight but it grinds like nothing else. The quality of build and use is second to none and you can see why it's expensive. The ease of use, a couple of spins and your herb is ready.

By comparison, the Aroma 3 makes my Space Case, Santa Cruz Shredder, and Kube look like Fisher Price kids toys. Absolutely perfect in every way.

Just awesome in every respect. I actually look forward to grinding my medical flower, only issue is it's to quick until it goes spinning.

Absolute top notch grinder super Sharpe teeth for perfect easy grind that just spins forever i love ❤️ this grinder used now for 3 weeks great size bowl to collect all the materials it's magnetic and holds together very well it won't come apart if u drop it accidently decent size it's very heavy don't drop it on ya toes 😀

Hands down the easiest to turn grinder out there. I’m really pleased with it, having arthritis this is so much more comfortable to use than others I’ve tried. Using it with the grippy boys.

Thanks Vapefiend

Just to echo other reviews here:

Waited for the restock then instantly regretted dropping so much coin on a flippin' grinder. Regret turned into awe and utter delight as soon I got to use it... I had no idea a grinder could bring so much pleasure.
A perfectly designed solid steel masterpiece and an ergonomic marvel.

Make sure you get the scoop and bearing puller too!

This grinder is amazing you wont have to buy another it grinds your flower to perfection every time

Amazing bit of kit! Its pricey but so worth it! The quality of materials and engineering is outstanding. Love the bearing! I think I have spent more time spinning it than using it as intended. 🤣

Just bought the bearing puller. Waiting for that to arrive then its time to experiment with bearings.

It'll effortlessly grind anything and everything. No metal on metal rubbing. No metal threads. Made of stainless steel, Incase you're concerned with plastic or aluminium grinders contaminating your flower It stays at home as it weighs a ton. Doubles as a fidget spinner. It looks good. Feels good and very easy to use.. just be careful picking it up as the top spins easily, you can easily fumble it and nearly smash your coffee table.. or nearly smash your toes. It's certainly not cheap...but it's worth it

I waited a long time for this to come back into stock, and I am glad I waited. Yes it's expensive, but the quality is evident and it grinds large amounts of material with ease. Awesome.

After ordering had buyers remorse on the amount I'd just spent on a grinder. After using for an evening no regrets at all. These things are amazing.
