5 Best Grinders You Need For Your Plants

 Grinders are an essential weapon in the toker's arsenal. Investing in a grinder saves you time, flavor, and trichomes. The first step in preparation is breaking the flower into small pieces for rolling or loading.

Using a grinder lessens your time spent and the workload by evenly chopping and grinding for you. Another benefit of using a grinder is preventing the loss of potency and pollen collection because the sticky stays on the plant instead of your fingers.

What is a grinder?

Grinding your weed is a crucial step in the consumption process. Using a grinder gives you an even and consistent burn when you’re smoking, maximizes efficiency, and lets you get the most smoke out of your bud. While you can always pick apart your weed with your fingers, using a specialized herb grinder is by far the best way to break your cannabis down into smaller, more smokable pieces.

Using a specialized herb grinder is by far the best way to break your cannabis down into smaller, more smokable pieces.

There are a few different types of weed grinders. The first and simplest model is a single chamber with metal grinding teeth and a lid that either snaps or screws into place. The underside of the lid also has grinding teeth that work in tandem with the teeth inside the main chamber. To use this type of weed grinder, simply press a couple of nugs down into the grinding teeth, put the lid on, and twist. As you twist, the grinding teeth in the main chamber and on the lid chop the herb into small, uniform pieces.

In addition to this simple, single-chamber design, there are grinders that function in a similar fashion but that include multiple chambers stacked onto each other. The top chamber contains the grinding teeth where you place your nugs before twisting the lid back and forth to break up the herb. There are a series of holes in the bottom of this top grinding chamber, through which the herb falls into a catch located directly beneath the grinding teeth. To access the ground-up herb, unscrew the catch chamber from the grinding chamber and pinch or dump out the herb you’re going to use.

Multi-chambered grinders typically have a mesh screen across the bottom of the catching. The screen filters out the chunks of plant matter from the much finer, powdery kief, which falls through the screen and into a kief catcher. Some grinders have multiple screens to separate out the superfine grains of kief from the larger grains of kief. Either way, these multi-chambered grinders allow you to isolate and keep the cannabinoid-rich kief for future use.

Finally, some weed grinders use rotating blades rather than grinding teeth. These grinders can produce a more uniform final product, as the blades cleanly slice the herb rather than forcefully grinding it apart into small chunks

Grinder Features to Look for With Some Facts

A grinder will save you time and effort. Simply place the herb inside, twist, and the teeth so the rest. Why buy a grinder? Listed below are some advantages.

What advantages?

Dry herbs have to be separated in order to burn correctly. The fluffier and more evenly broken apart the smoother the burn. Grinding allows for an even airflow that prevents pockets or runs. If the plant is ground well it is easier for packing or rolling and burns slower.

Containing everything inside the grinder then directly loading or rolling leaves nothing is left behind on your fingers or rolling trey, therefore, increasing potency.

What are they made of?

Grinders all have the same basic design. There are two disc-like chambers with interlocking teeth on the inside that shred and rip the plant. Aluminum grinders are the most popular however, they can be made from other materials as well. The cheapest grinders are made from plastic and get the job done but can be hard to clean because your material may stick and they are known to break easily. The most expensive, aside from electronic grinders, are made from titanium. Titanium is the stronger metal and resistant to scratches so grinders are built to last. Some companies also use aircraft-grade aluminum and treat them with a protective coating that prevents resin build-up for easiest cleaning. Some grinders are handcrafted crafted from maple, cherry, or walnut. Wooden grinders are known for grinding to the powder stage and are not recommended for su[er sticky buds.
