What's the purpose of a grinder when you can tear apart nuggets with your fingers or scissors? I'm assuming for its pollenating capabilities?
Either way, do you guys recommend buying/using one?

grinders are def the way to go if you are big on rolling... it breaks up your bud with out you touching it and disturbing all the crystals on it you can buy a nice grinder for about 80 bucks and it has a screen in it to catch all the crystals snd shit that falls off but a good basic one will run about 20 bucks
Well, because i roll so much, im the king of breakin it up and can get it to grinder quality after a short time. However, i got one off ebay for 6 bucks just like one of my friend's. They pretty much own.
since i roll enough joints for myself and my partner each day, i use an electric coffee grinder and grind up my days worth of bud in about 2 seconds. Its works wonders because it is very quick, and the crysals it gathers are very good for supercharging a joint.
grinders are awesome for rolling its so much easier to use a grinder than breaking it up by hand for me atleast, they arent 20 bucks or whatever tho, i got mine for like 4 or 5 and it works great
muahahaha i love my grinder, it's used...daily, of course.
Honestly though, grinders are built to grind the weed.. whereas any otherway.. you're not really grinding.. you're sorta..cutting. or pulling it apart...
Here...is a SpaceCase Grinder knock-off... it looks..and is built the same.. just not as high quality oor actually made... by SpaceCase.
it's has 4 peices and 3 seperate sections...
the first being obviously.. the grinding mechanism. the second being the weed storage area.. where there is a screen, the screen allows the thc crystals to pass through to the 4th compartment where the crystals collect... this is where we make.. BubbleHash :D
seriously though, i'm all for saving my crystals...especially when you get the dry buds.
as you can see.. i have a very nice little treat when i get around to smokin the crystals :D
p.s. you can see how the bud is nice and fluffy now, as opposed to just.. chopped up with a pair of scissors
ooommmgg i love my grinder! Anything you roll with comes out so perfect, burns so perfectly and slow.
And the keif catcher is amazing, Keif is the greatest shit, Its like smoke crack without the crack.
Its a very good high, Straight keif blunts!

Couple of my boys have grinders, but usually I just break it up wit my hands. Usually it is just the bomb crispy herb, that crushes as you put it between your thumb and index finger. But sometimes I get the bomb sticky icky draw and you gotta use a grinder or scissors...
Pollen press, used.
ive never used a grinder mostly cuz i like cant roll worth shit im all for the hand pipes all the way:D
I like my grinder, but I need to buy a collector one, mine's all sticky and if I try to scrape the nice green stuff off it it comes away with tiny shards of metal making it unsmokable. I can't be arsed to actually buy a new one though, that's money that could be spent on bud.
Here's the finish product.
on the left, you have home made bubble hash made with the above pollen press. on the right, is piece of hash the same weight/size.
... there's quite a difference in the two
Grinders are great, except if you grind your bud two much, bud comes out fluffy when done right. i still wish i had mine i got my first one it was like 3.00 dollars traded a 60.00 hoodie for it and eventually traded it again for a 1/8 of the kindest buds ive ever smoked.
i just roll the bud around in my fingers and let the fluff all fall into the bowl.
like i said i i personally like using a coffee grinder, and after awhile if you look under where the blade turns you will find that some bubble hash will accumlate here.
i use a grinder all the time cos the grease on ur fingas make the thc crystals come of the bud and its a waste
i defiantely need a grinder with the screen.
and btw bobbong, u got some nice kiff in ur grinder.
Ever had sticky/dense buds? They're great for all types of bud.Quote:

like that one, but mines square, that's def. the kind i'd recommend if you aren't worried about collecting crystals... it can even be put ina dishwasher if needed be... i'm not sure about wooden ones (durability wise) but metal ones are also good, as long as it's a quality one (if going for metal, i'd recommend checking the pins to see if the grinder was molded that way or if they were put in, if they were put in after the body was molded.. then there's a good chance they can break off.. also look for weight, generally, light weight-cheap material) my lucite one cost me just under 20$ and works fine, never had a single probelm wtih it
I bought one 2 weeks ago, and how I have some bud, I've been getting some use out of it. I'll never go back to crumbling by hand as it's so quick and easy. I wasted so many crystals in the past, mostly on my fingers.Quote:
