Herb Grinder

Could you 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 into 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 storing 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 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.

When it comes to choosing an herb grinder, size and material matters. You will find small, medium, and large grinders with a varying number of chambers in this collection. However, it is best to decide the size that's best suited for your preferences, before making a purchase. If you are somebody who doesn't utilize a lot of herbs, but wants to get as much out of it as possible, you should look at a small sized grinder with 3 chambers. The small size of the grinder will be able to store the amount of herb  you have. Plus, you will have multiple chambers that separate and sift the herb. One of the chambers grinds the herb, the next one stores the ground herb, and the last one separates the pollen. On the other hand, you may have a lot of dry herbs but don't want to store them. In this case, you will be more satisfied with a large grinder without so many chambers.

The grinder is every stoner's trusted sidekick: if you meet someone who smokes weed, they most definitely have a grinder. Yes, breaking up bud with fingers is an option, but there’s something special about the ritual of loading a grinder with a fat nug and twisting the top to reveal a lush pile of green goodness. Not all grinders are made alike, however, just like how some sidekicks can be disappointing and worthless or extraordinarily badass. Below, we’ve done the work of grinder. These are the best weed grinders you can buy.

A cannabis grinder or herb grinder is one of the most useful and loved smoking accessories available for every stoner. Grinders help you grind, break up and shred your chosen spice, dry herb, or tobacco mix to perfection, so you can easily handle and safely manage them. They usually consist of several parts, come in an array of shapes, sizes, and designs, and are available as a 2, 3, 4, and even a 5 piece grinder.
Grinders are constructed from a range of durable materials including acrylic plastic, aluminum, zinc alloy, stone, and wood. They are used by smokers around the world who either roll their ground herbs in rolling papers, use bongs, vaporizers, dab pens, pipes, vape pens, or bubblers. We offer a wide range of budget and high-quality cannabis grinders all for an affordable price.
Our range includes grinders that feature a see-through window lid, have extra sharp teeth for a smooth grinding action, and come with pollen catcher sections to collect your precious Kief. We also stock grinders that include storage compartments, and even grinders with a hand crank.
Different Types of Grinders
There are not only different grinder materials, but there are also different types of grinders. We can split them up into:
2 piece grinders: these are the most straightforward weed grinders. Classic weed grinders do what they need to do and grind and collect all the tobacco, weed, marijuana, or herbs.
3 piece grinders: these grinders have a built-in screen for collecting all the kief and finer particles.
4 piece grinder: the four-piece grinders do have a built-in pollen screen, like the 3 piece grinders, but they also have a catcher. Most 4-part grinders also contain a scraper for collecting your herbs and trichomes. These are large grinders within our herb grinder collection.
A 2-part herb grinder is certainly enough to get the job done, but if you're a more frequent smoker, try investing in a 3-part or a 4-part grinder, many of which come with built-in pollen screens and kief catchers to help make your herb go even further. Some grinder models have a window in the lid so that you can watch the bud-busting action, or even a mechanical crank to turn rather than working the grinder the old-fashioned way. Many have magnets installed in the grinding compartment to keep the lid securely attached while allowing free motion of the two grinding halves. When choosing your grinder, notice which type of teeth it has. They will normally be either diamond-shaped, shark teeth-shaped, or steel pin teeth. It's a matter of preference, just like the look and the material of your grinder.
