How To Choose The Right Grinder
Why Do I Need A Grinder?
Grinders are useful for many reasons. Using your hands to break up cannabis causes you to get kief and cannabis oils on your hands, but grinders allow you to save your kief for later use, rather than wasting it. Grinding your cannabis is better for when you are rolling joints or blunts. If you are smoking a regular bowl, grinding your cannabis will make it hit better
Different Types Of Grinders
Plastic
Plastic grinders are cheaper, which means the quality will not be as good as other grinders. The reason that people like them is that they are cheap, and they work. Find more cheap grinders here. Plastic grinders are good for your first grinder and they do what they are supposed to, that is grinding up your herb. After a while the teeth do tend to break.
Wooden
Wooden grinders last longer than plastic grinders and they tend to be more durable. The teeth are not very sharp and the wood tends to crack after a lot of use. They work better than a plastic grinder in some cases, but if catching kief is your purpose for owning a grinder, then it may not be the best choice for you. If your main reason for owning a grinder is to grind your herb, then a wooden grinder should serve your purposes just fine.
Metal
Metal grinders are much higher quality than wood or plastic. They last longer, they won’t rot or crack, and the teeth stay nice and sharp. Metal grinders are typically made from aluminum or titanium. Metal grinders serve the purpose of grinding your grass, and some come with kief catchers so you can save your kief.
Electric
Electric grinders are attractive to some because they grind your herb quickly. They are usually cheap and effective. You wouldn’t be able to collect kief with one, but again if all you need is something to grind your herb quickly without putting in any effort then this is a good choice for you!
Different Styles Of Grinders
Two Piece
Two piece grinders are the most basic grinders. There is a top piece and a bottom piece with diamond teeth placed strategically on both sides to allow the herb to be grinded and separated without worry of large pieces or getting stuck. There is no chamber for catching kief.
Three Piece
A three piece grinder has a top, bottom and a middle piece. The top and middle pieces are the main grinding pieces for the herb, and has a bottom chamber for catching kief or holding a stash of herb. Those three piece grinders that are meant to help store your kief come with a mesh screen for catching it that sits under the middle piece’s grinding teeth leading into the bottom chamber.
Four Piece
A four piece grinder has four pieces, top, bottom and two middle pieces. The top piece is the lid which has the grinding teeth. The second piece is the bottom grinding piece. The second piece has holes for cannabis to fall through in addition to the teeth.
