Grinders for Life, the Brilliant Cut grinder.
It’s a 3 piece grinder (kief catches are pointless unless you want the sleepy aspect, light and air degrades the THC compounds over time) that uses magnets instead of threads.
I have arthritis so unscrewing sticky metal all the time was a no-go. Also a lot of metals make hands smell.
The brilliant cut looks gorgeous, is anodized, and is designed so that even if you stuff the fuck out of it it will still grind and no pieces get left unground and stuck in the center. They are a little pricey considering, but I have cleaned my grinders twice since 2019. They just don’t gunk up, they stay smooth and clean.
I probably was going through a grinder or two every year, I’ve had so many from Amazon ones to sharpstone to space cases. They’re all the same, realistically. The difference lies in how often you need to clean it and how easy it is to use. Of my 2 decades using grinders this is the first time I’ve not been worried about hands smelling, weird textures or metal flaking, or inconsistent grinds and sticky edges.
One thing to note: the color anodized at one point people had been reporting flaking. It also may have just been a temporary issue as I haven’t seen any reports since that ~6 months. I have 2 and use them daily, I wouldn’t say I’m exactly gentle with them and I’ve not had any flaking. If it is a concern though, they have a regular style as well
Cant second this strongly enough. Have had mine for something over a year now and it hasnt needed cleaning yet. It feels awesome to use every time and all the details are so well thought out, like the magnet part in the crushing chamber has a ridge so no weed gets stuck in between. I think it is the best investment in weed accessories Ive made yet.
I just got mine, I’ve only put like a quarter ounce through it but holy shit this thing is amazing
If you like a fine grind kikkerland makes a ceramic herb grinder (presumably for actual herbs since they aren’t really a weed company) that I absolutely love. Doubles as a stash jar too.
I’ve heard there’s an app for that
Old mate. Solid chunk of Cnc metal.
How much do you grind at a time, and how do you use it?
I got a jumbo 88mm grinder so I can do enough to fill a full tray of Mighty capsules. Would be ridiculous if I just needed 1/4g for a bowl.
Coarse grind, fine grind, threadless closing, kief catcher, stylish design etc. It really depends on what’s most important to you.
I have a Tsunami grinder that is excellent. It doesn’t get gritty and stiff to turn from kief like most grinders I’ve had.
Those metal card grinders seem durable and easier to clean. My plastic grinder has these spikes that are a real pain in the ass to clean.
I’ve never used one of those but they do look pretty easy 🤔
you probably got one by now, but as someone with a 3d printer I can recommend making one yourself. you don’t necessarily need a 3d printer for that
I considered that actually, I do have a 3d printer. But ultimately decided that if I shouldn’t put food on 3D printed parts I shouldn’t smoke off it either, and with my existing attitudes about plastic I prefer metal. Maybe one day I can talk the ol lady into letting me find space for a CNC mill 🤔
