im going to buy a pollinator grinder (the ones that store the kif too) and there are metal ones and plastic ones. The plastic ones are ten $$ cheaper. other then that, i can't tell a difference between how they look. Should i go for the plastic (15$) of the metal (25$). is one better then the other in any particular way?

if the teeth on the plastic are wide based theres no difference other than one is metal, one is plastic

That, and the plastic ones, they have the plastic teeth, those very easily break just by putting a dense nug in it.

Try and find a wooden one w/metal teeth. I use one of those and it works great.

Metal is the best though, casing and all because, over time resin builds up, and a metal one doesn't get sticky or hard to turn.

no chowder, it doesnt break if it the teeth have wide bases as i suggested
metal will rust eventually
the wood absorbs a bunch of crap from ur hands n the atmosphere

theyre so stable they look like lil pyramids
my friend bought one a month ago, he also had a metal one but like i said it will rust
it works perfectly too on the most compressed buds

I have a SpaceCase,... they do not rust. lol
It also has a kief screen and I have to say it's well worth the money. It'll grind up anything.

If you buy plastic the teeth will break with dense nugs. Go for metal. I had plastic it broke. I just bought a metal one and it's a hell of a lot better!

Don't be stupid man, they don't break with dense nugs. I've grinded rock hard stems in mine to test it's strength.

plastic!! plastic!!! seriouse mate i knwo the metal ones look for then a budget peice but think about the practical side a plastic one is much lighter (portable) plus i hear lots of the metal pins falling out of metal poli's as they r implanted into the grinder not moulded from one peice.

the plastic ones have the old faithfull sharks teeth that grind the best and r stronger as they r moulded from the same unit of plastic .

as far as dust colection i think they r just as good as each other but as an example i got 2 plastic pollinators and my bro;s got a metal one and he's borrowing mine so there u go.

I don't know what cheap shit you bought (or found in a pile of dog shit), you cunt, but mine works fine.

p.s if your ''dense nuggets'' can break a tooth from the shark tooth grinders made from plastic your bud is hard and dirty ? wot kinda bud u smokin? breaks plastic? mmm i only smoke soft fluffy weed and i find the metal pins in metal grinders dont grind it very well shark tooth ones make the weed into a fine powder if u want. metal pins just breaks it up a bit .

also as i said in my last story people have had the metal pins fall out as they r stuck in not moulded from the same peice of metal as the actual grinder base.

CONCLUSION! = PLASTIC SHARK TOOTH GRINDER TEETH R STRONGER!!

lol ask reefer rougue hes had sum of my bud and he knows wot i mean by soft and fluffy . weed should not be hard enoutgh to break plastic only time ive ever heard of a shark tooth plastic grinder breaking is when sum dickhead put hash in one.

also as a sign of quality is that one of my plastic polli's is magnetic throu-out(very usefull) as even if i drop it from standing it wont burst open and i wont loose me joint.

Good, because I needed to ask someone about cleaning it. I have grinded so much dank in it since I got it it's got all this green shit stuck do the sides of it. I was going to wash it out but I thought it might damage the spikes, like make them less sharp. How should I clean it?

chisme
12-28-2005, 07:05 PM
put it in a saucepan of water and warm it up untill the crude floats off giving it a stir around or a scrub with a nail brush every now and then but watch it u dont want the water to over boil or it will melt the grinder and it probably wont twist to well lol (it'll be all gloopy)

chisme

dont worry scrubbing it wont damage the spikes not unless u scrub it with a rock lol

I'm sure there are high quality plastic grinders. Mine broke because the plastic was imitation I guess. The metal ones are molded from one peice so the pegs cant break. And never bend because the metal is solid. I like metal because plastic is cheap. The one I bought which is metal will last forever. I also spent a lot of money on it too. It's fuckn pretty wide.

yes u r the living version off denial lol cmon man just admit defeat the metal ones r all hype and no bollox to back it up with most metal ones r over priced any way ranging 30-100 pounds maybee more when a plastic (trusted) one only cost 20 pound max its not being a stingy bastard denial its ethics leff money u spend on flashy shit the more u got to spend on actual bud to smoke.

i havent tried a metal grinder yet so i dont know how much they get eroded after a long time of use but acryllic ones get quite quick ground down no good to smoke that..

i have a metal one and it works great. breaks the nugs up just perfect to roll a blunt, pack a bowl or whatever you do with the weed. even has the magnet around the edges where it closes.

Go on Ebay buy a grinder from Grass Leaf.

They also have a website www.grassleaf.com.

I have used both plastic and this Grass Leaf one and the plastic ones are not very good compared to it. They are expensive but I have bought 3 plastic ones and after a couple of months I have had to bin them. The metal 1 is brilliant.

The teeth kept breaking off of my plastic one.
My wooden one is great.
Metal is better, easier to clean and lasts longer.

i would actually recommend a plastic grinder. think about it, though. metal is just worse than plastic to have on you in general. plus i've had experience with plastics. they're great. and the teeth work good because they are thick.

The teeth kept breaking off of my plastic one.

probably since you broke one tooth, it was grinding against the teeth and nug unevenly, causing more teeth to break.

FunkyMonkey

Ahhh, but the first tooth broke. That is my point, it sholdnt have. Then , like you said, the rest started snapping from the pressure.
I also found them not as easy to clean. Cant scrape them because the plastic scrapes off too. And solvents dissolve some plastic materials into the resin over time.

Think about it, what do you think is a stronger material? metal, or plastic?

There was no need to ask the question. If you want a cheap crappy one that will do a shit quility go with plastic, if you want one that cost a bit more and will last alot better and the quility of the grinded weed to be better, go with metal.

Duh.
