Herb Grinders - Page 10
Mind if we grind?
Herb grinders are necessary tools for the frequent flower smoker. Whether you're rolling up, packing a bowl in your favorite bong or loading up a pocket spoon, a consistent grind is essential for the best smoke.
Grinders also enable smokers to get the most out of their product. When pulling herb apart by hand, pollen and other plant matter can stick to your fingers, reducing its potency. When using a grinder, all of the plant matter is contained within the chamber, and many models have a screen to catch every last molecule so you can enjoy the full potential of your stash.
Why Use a Grinder?
Many smokers choose to make the investment of buying a grinder for its many benefits. Grinders are strictly for use with dry herbs, since dry herbs must be separated to allow for better combustion.
Many smokers may start off by picking herbs apart instead of fully grinding them, which could reduce potency as the pollen and plant matter can often stick to their fingers.
By completely grinding herbs, you can sprinkle your dry herbs into your bowl with full potency, and pack them tighter to allow for increased airflow and better control over how fast your bowl will burn.
Styles of Grinders
The most common style of grinder is the multi-piece grinder, which uses several pieces that connect to create an area for grinding and storing. Many smokers find these grinders to be the most useful for the extra storage space, which can vary depending on size and diameter. These grinders usually have a top grinding space with many teeth that can be twisted to fully grind herbs, and small holes that allow for the herbs to drop down to the storing space. Some grinders have an automated style of grinding that will grind herbs with the simple press of a button, while shredder cards are similar to a cheese grater and better for quick on-the-go use.
Grinder Pieces and Pollen Catchers
Grinders with multiple pieces often have a separate chamber with a thin metal net that catches only the tiniest of pollen. This pollen is often particularly potent, and smokers will usually collect the build-up to sprinkle on top of their usual bowl of dry herbs.
Piece grinders can have anywhere from 2-5 pieces, and the more pieces you have, the more you can cultivate the most potent flecks. It’s considered good practice to include a small coin in the main storage section of a grinder to help push pollen down into the catch.
With such a wide variety of grinders available, it all comes down to how you want to grind your herbs and what kind of investment is best for you.

Smooth like a dream!
"I was very excited to receive my package from smoke cartel, customer service was superb all the way through- the best customer service I have ever received from anywhere online, it was so good in fact that I named my new grinder in honor of Brian the customer support dude that upgraded me from a 2-stage to a 4-stage due to lack of availability & helped me all the way (as well as Joseph & Markieta).
Anyways the grinder in large size feels really nice in my hands although not the colour I selected- It grinds like crazy, looks like a standard grinder but the mechanism & science lets it grind herb like a dream. I can just load a few grams and blitz it into a beautiful consistency, not too coarse or fine which is perfect for conventional smoking methods like joints & bongs. It has magnets, really unique grinding teeth, a cute kief pick, the texture on the outside is really nice to grip on plus it has weight to it which screams quality & America. This will definitely last a long time, it is a tank, a monster, a behemoth. " - Orhan Saka the Kush King Verified Buyer
