So, how many here actually use a grinder to chip up their herb before packing a bowl? Does it really make that much difference, or does packing with straight nugs better for some reason?

I use my grinder if I'm rolling something. And the keif catcher is awesome! I recommend a grinder to anyone who doesn't have one;)

Yeah, gotta use a grinder for rolling a joint or a blunt.
My grinder cuts bud up into nice sized pieces rather than turn it to dust. And it stores the keif which is good when you run out of weed.

I mostly roll spliffs and blunts and for me a grinder is probably one of the best investments I've made. Sittin around cuttin bud up with your fingernails can be a big annoyance when all you wanna do is blaze a fat one

My grinder is my favorite piece of paraphanelia that I own. Whether its a joint or a bowl, I always use the grinder; the keif catcher is awesome too.

Yea man i find if you use a grander weed lasts longer. And it is easier to roll a joint or blunt buh if u have a pipe and grind ur weed u save alot of time and money.

Grinder is necessary. Also packing whole buds in your bowl is a WASTE.

i dont think they meant whole buds, simply chunks of bud( like 1/2 the size of a pencil eraser). i prefer to use a small chunk as a screen, then put the ground up stuff on top. best of both worlds.

Yes I do use a grinder. I use a grinder for pretty much everything, bowls, joints, blunts, I even grind it up when I cook with it (it makes extraction more efficient, thus, you get way more blitzed) I've had the same grinder for maybe two years, but I have like, four of them for some reason.

I dont get it Bud in it natural state is on the plant not ready to smoke. But if you just put nuggs in your bowl they dont burn right you have to grind or break up some what or eles your wasting alot

yeah the grinder is a big helper because it also separates keif if u have a keif catcher

Grinders are always a good idea in my opinion, wether it be rolled or a bowl because it creates peices of uniform size and density which makes joints, blunts and even bowls burn better and more effectively.

I can't get my hands on a grinder, so I don't. But It on my list of things to get.

I use a grinder when I want to roll something. When I'm just packing bowls, I just use my fingers to break it up.

I use a grinder sometimes but usually I don't have one lying around so I just break it up with my hands.

I use it all the time. I have a big kief catcher one, a small hand grinder i found in front of laronde (six flags park) and an electric coffee grinder to collect major kief.

if u want an awesome grinder, go and get a coffee bean grinder from walmart or something. Open the lid, Pop the bud in, plug it in, press the button and bam!!! plus all around the lid are the crystals for some rank hash hoots. the coffee grinder is only like 15 bucks to, its my favorite item i have.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I loooooove my grinder. I use it for whatever I smoke out of. They're also really good for bowls because it burns much better than just putting in a nug.

I almost always smoke in the car so having a grinder makes it really easy to carry around shake to pack bowls and it also holds less than 2.5 grams so if I get caught I know it will only be a misdemeanor. I love the kief too, instead of being stuck to my fingers now I can catch it and put it on my bowls.
