Classic Wooden Herb Grinder

Product Information

Optional) Freeze the grinder before clearing. If you want to do a deeper clean, you can try putting your grinder in the freezer for half an hour or more before you try scraping more debris free. This helps the material clump together and makes the cleaning process easier. As above, a toothbrush or soft brush helps you get more material free. It’s worth taking more time over the scrubbing if you’ve gone through this step – be thorough and get as much kief and compacted weed as you can.

Stainless steel marijuana grinders are the gold standard in a lot of ways, with the durable material staying in good quality through multiple uses and having the strength to continually grind up your bud without dulling or weakening. Pour some rubbing alcohol into the dish and use the cotton swab and toothbrush to scrub residue out from between the teeth and along the threads of the grinder. If it has a kief catcher, use the toothbrush to thoroughly clean the screen. Metal grinders are more durable and often offer a better grind, but they can be more expensive. Plastic grinders are less expensive and often lighter, but they may not last as long.

What are the best grinders and best grinder brands?

The teeth are ultimately what makes or breaks your grinding experience. They can be diamond-shaped, pyramid-shaped, have a more sophisticated shape with four points... the list goes on. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to predict how they'll perform based on how they look or how many there are – you need to see them in action. The only thing you can rely on when buying a grinder is the teeth' sharpness. Also, don't forget that almost anything not made of steel will lose its edge with time, and teeth in plastic grinders can be broken when handling an especially tough bud. Size Usually with a 2-piece grinder, if you want the kief that comes off of your herb, you’ll need a brush to brush it out. Planet of the Vapes themselves recommend against using ISO alcohol to clean this grinder. Instead, they recommend using warm water and detergent.

Just like the Santa Cruz Shredders, they’re extremely reliable and durable (they last up to 10+ years). The details will come as you go: you get better at estimating how much weed to grind, the motions become second-nature and you’ll learn the quirks of the grinder you’re using. But the basics are very straightforward. How Do You Grind Weed Without a Grinder? A two-piece weed grinder has just one compartment – the one where buds are ground. When you're done grinding them, you open it and tap the material out. Then it's basically 'lather, rinse, repeat'. Some of these grinders may have an additional very shallow compartment (with a lid) on top where you can put some leftovers that didn't fit in your joint. 3-Piece Weed Grinders Also, they’re more compact, and especially with the small 2-piece grinders you can get a very fine grind. For this, it’s better to grind upside down.

Electric or Manual: With the continual advances in technology, it’s no surprise that you can also find an electric weed grinder if you want, which either grinds the material for you or sometimes just dispenses it. An ordinary hand grinder is fine for most people, but if you want to minimize your workload, electronic ones can work really well (just at a higher cost). One feature that many consumers opt for is a kief catcher. Kief (the dried resinous trichomes that fall off of marijuana plants) is incredibly potent and full of THC and other cannabinoids, so it’s a shame to waste it. Weed grinders that have at least 4-Pieces feature a kief-catching chamber at the very bottom. 5-Piece Weed Grinders Scrub it. Remove the grinder from the alcohol and scrub the pieces thoroughly with a firm-bristled toothbrush. You need to be sure to get right in all the spaces around the edges and between the teeth, and cover each chamber in the process too.
