What to consider before buying a grinder

• Quality of the material

Herb grinders come in various shapes and sizes, even when it comes to the materials they're composed of. Therefore, before choosing a grinder, it is critical to inspect the quality of the material it is made of and the one you feel fits your preference.

Plastic is used in the lower-end, less-expensive models, with some being better than others. More costly and long-lasting variants are usually made of metal or even wood.

In general, a decent grinder should be constructed of long-lasting materials. Metal grinders are suggested since they last a long time—the more durable the material, the greater the performance of your grinder.

• Storage ability

A decent grinder should be able to store enough material. This is handy since you will not need to purchase a separate grinder storage cabinet, saving you extra. A magnetic lid is also necessary since it prevents the odour from exiting the grinder. This helps keep whatever you do discretely.

• Warranty

A quality brand will stand behind its goods and provide you with a comprehensive and long-term warranty. That's excellent if you're going to spend a lot of money on it. Therefore, when purchasing a grinder, you should think about the warranty; it should be prolonged.

• The grinder's teeth shape

For a desirable smoking outcome, the form of your grinder teeth is critical. The outcome will be finer if the teeth are finer. Teeth that are less sharp and somewhat bigger are excellent for folks who enjoy making kief.

• Possibility of catching kief

It is recommended that you get a grinder with a kief catcher. Choose a four-chamber grinder since they are the highest quality, and you can only be sure it has kief catcher capability if you opt for this choice.

Why is this a necessary feature? The smooth powder is often high in nutrients, depending on the substance you're grinding. When it comes to cannabis, the powder will have a high THC content, which is necessary for quality.

Types of Grinders  

Herb Grinders

The herb grinder is a small device used to chop and grind dry herbs in preparation for packing them into your vaporizer or pipe. The herb grinder comes in various sizes, designs and colours. You can also find it made using different materials like wood, acrylic, silicone and metal.

There are electric and hand-cranked varieties, but both perform the same function. You can choose from several types of dry herb grinders:

• 2 piece grinders – These are the most basic of the bunch. They come in two halves with the sole purpose of producing finely ground herb. They are easy to use and, more often than not, are hand-cranked.

• 3-piece grinders – This type is slightly more advanced and offers more storage. You can use the extra space as storage for your ground herb until you’re ready to use it.

• 4-piece grinders – Although portability is not their strongest point, 4-piece grinders offer a hoard of benefits. They have a kief collector, not to mention additional space that will allow you to load more herb into the compartments. They reduce waste and produce more consistent and finer results.

Tobacco Grinders

It’s not common to find grinders specifically made for tobacco. But tobacco lovers can use dry herb grinders as well. You can also check out our collection for various other grinder options that might help you improve your experience and produce the right tobacco consistency.

Benefits of Grinders

Grinders offer three main benefits:

Improve vaping and smoking performance

Evenly ground herb particles are more suitable for vaporizing or smoking in a pipe. They are more tightly packed and have a larger surface area that maximises airflow, ensuring cleaner and smoother draws.

Extracts smell and flavour

Using a grinder breaks up the herb into smaller pieces. These translate into a higher surface area for heat to act upon and extract more aroma and flavour.

Enhanced effects

Along with more aroma and flavour, the ground herb releases more of the active ingredients resulting in more intense effects.

Pollen Pressers

Under our grinders section, you will also find unique products called pollen pressers. Compared to grinders, pollen pressers are lesser-known but just as important, especially when you're looking to extend the shelf life and potency of your herbs.

Pollen pressers can be used to press hash into disks or to compress ground loose-leaf into cakes or pellets. If finding good quality legal weed in your area is tough, a pollen presser can improve personal storage.

Sometimes, these devices are also used in herb shops to extend the life and make packaging easier for customers.

Sifters

Sifters are a great way to capture the kief, which you can then add back when loading your vaporizer. They are vital because they help to trap trichrome, which could otherwise be lost. Sifters are often built into some of the grinders.

Most of our 4-piece grinders come with a built-in sifter. These allow you to grind and sift while ensuring you don’t waste any part of the dry herb.

The kief captured by the sifter consists of trichrome, which has powerful effects. You can add the collected kief back to the ground herb, use to cook, or press it if you want to make homemade hash.

The primary role of the sifter is to ensure you maximise on all parts of the dry herb. It minimises wastage and gives you an opportunity to be adventurous with your dry herb by using it in many other ways, like cooking with it or making hash.

Whether you're looking for a grinder for your dry herbs or tobacco, Flawless Vaporizers' extensive catalogue has just the accessory for you. Choose from our wide variety of grinders and sifters that come in various designs and colours.

Parts of a Grinder

Although there are different types of grinders, they all have at least three components. These are:

• The grinding chamber
• Teeth of pegs that shred the herb
• A lid to keep the contents from spilling

There are different sizes and varieties of grinders to choose from. Depending on the size and number of chambers your grinder has, there could be more features and parts.

Two-piece

Two-piece grinders are also called single chamber grinders. These are the most basic types of grinders comprising a small bowl that holds the herb you’re going to grind. The two-grinder only has the bowl and the lid hence the name.

Three-piece

The three-piece or the two-chamber grinder has two chambers and a lid. The lid has teeth or pegs to help with the grinding.  In some grinders, the first chamber has teeth as well. The first chamber also has holes where the ground herb falls through into the bottom grinding chamber, called the collection chamber.

Four-piece

Four-piece grinders are the largest of the bunch. They have three chambers. The collection chamber has a small mesh screen instead of a solid bottom. Underneath the mesh is the final chamber called the kief chamber.

As you grind your herb, the large ground pieces fall to the collection chamber. As you continue to grind and agitate, the tiny pollen material falls through the screen into the kief chamber.

How To Use a Herb Grinder

Using a grinder shouldn’t give you sleepless nights. These are simple devices that are even simpler to use for both beginners and professionals.

Although there are different types of grinders, using any of them is more or less the same.

• Using a grinder starts with loading the grinder. Remove the lid, break the bud into smaller pieces and load up the grinding chamber.
• Replace the lid. If you have an electric grind, press the button to start grinding. For manual options, rotate the lid. At first, there will be some resistance, so you have to put some muscle into it.
• Tap the grinder on a table or the palm of your hand to prevent the loss of valuable herb when you remove the lid. Tapping also pushes more kief into the kief chamber.

Manual and Electric Grinders

If you're not up for the brute work of twisting and turning the lid of the manual grinder, there are electric options that make grinding effortless and effective. Electric grinders are battery-powered. They have a single chamber, and at the press button, you can get the grinder working.
