Herb grinders are the basic equipment of all gourmets of dried fruit. Both those who prefer traditional joints and lovers of newer technologies, i.e. vaporizers. You can find many grinders on the market, so choosing the only one is not easy at all. While experienced herb enthusiasts have their favorite types of grinders, beginners may have a problem, especially with the first purchase. So let's check which marijuana grinder to choose to enjoy well-ground herbs.


Which grinder to choose - types of grinders

Before we get to the types of grinders and their characteristics, it is worth first answering the question what a grinder is and why it is worth having one. Grinder, crasher, kraszer, grinder - what is ? All these names refer to one device that is used to crush dried herbs. Why do this? First of all, ground dried fruit is much more convenient to use than whole inflorescences. This applies to both vaporization and joint smoking. Although the second method of inhalation allows you to leave larger pieces of dried material, it is better not to do it. Shredded herbs can be formed faster and more efficiently in tissue paper.

Second, ground herbs, regardless of their type, work better when ground up. In such a consistency, they work more effectively, active substances are released much faster. Grinding is also a very efficient method, because it allows you to use all the dried material and heat it evenly. It is worth adding that by choosing a grinder for dried herbs, we save time. Crushing in your hands takes quite a long time, and besides, you will not get evenly crushed herbs. Let's see which herb crasher to choose, what are the most popular variants, and which one will be the best.


Aluminum, metal grinder - the most popular choice

Herbs have different consistencies. Among them, the most compact is CBD dried. Compact buds do not burn well, let alone vaporize, which requires careful grinding. What types of grinders can you find on the market? Which materials are worth using for grinders? Let's find out!


Metal grinder

Metal CBD grinder is a very popular solution that has many customers. These constructions are durable, resistant to various types of damage, although sometimes they develop threads when they have a multi-part structure. When buying a high-quality model, the metal grinder can be used for many years. At Vaporshop you will find a Black leaf Premium stainless steel dry grinder that provides sharp and effective friction and has a great design, so it is a great gift idea.


Aluminum grinder

Aluminum grinders are also very popular. Their main advantage, apart from effective operation, is also a light structure. More expensive, more advanced grinders such as SLX can also be covered with a ceramic coating that prevents the herbs from sticking to the grinder chambers. So it is an easy-to-clean solution. Moreover, such a crisper is not soaked with the smell of ground herbs. Aluminum grinders are as durable as the metal versions. They are equipped with sharp cloves that can cope with even very compact herbs. An example of a high-quality grinder made of aviation-grade aluminum with a ceramic coating is the Black Leaf Lotus Premium Grinder.


Acrylic grinder

Both acrylic and plastic mills are inferior to the previous two variants. However, this does not mean that it is not worth buying them. Although they are less durable and often deteriorate quickly, especially models with long teeth, they will be perfect for trips. They are light and small in size. They can easily replace our main grinder during the holidays. At Vaporshop, you can find acrylic craters, such as the Pablo's Weed 2-piece grinders, which seem like a very interesting proposition.


Grinder cards

Grinder cards are very discreet solutions. They look the same as payment cards, except that there is a grater on the front, similar to food graters, e.g. for cheese. The purchase of such a card is a great idea if you want to always have a substitute for a grinder with you. It fits in any wallet. The grinding quality is satisfactory, especially for people who already have experience with such an alternative. At Vaporshop you can find a wide range of cards with different designs. For example, V-Syndicate cards with prints from "Alice in Wonderland" or Salvador Dali.


Is a wooden grinder a good idea?

The last type of grinder that is less popular than previous variants are wooden grinders. Contrary to appearances, only the grinder housing is made of wood. Its teeth are metal, so it is as effective as metal or aluminum crashers. Why are the cloves not made of wood? The reason is simple. It would be simply dangerous. Although this element would be protected with varnish, after some time it would crumble to dryness, burning with it. If, on the other hand, the teeth were not painted with varnish, they would quickly soak up with moisture and crumble. At Vaporshop you will find great wooden grinders that will work well for many years.


Types of grinders - design

Finally, it is worth mentioning the construction of the grinders. These devices consist of:

  • chambers for grinding herbs,
  • pins or teeth for grinding herbs
  • lids or any other type of closure designed to prevent contents from spilling.

Two-piece grinders

The most common types of grinders are two, three and four piece grinders. As for the first type, it consists of two elements, equipped with grinding teeth. After crushing, the dried material remains in the grinder, so it has to be poured onto a different surface later.


Three section mills

The three-piece grinders are actually a two-piece version with an additional compartment for keeping the ground herbs. It is located below the part where the drought was ground. The contents enter the storage compartment through the holes in the grinding section.


Four section mills

The most popular solution, however, is the four-piece grinders. They are an extended three-part version, enriched with a strainer placed in the drying chamber and another additional compartment called the kief chamber. During grinding, larger pieces of dried material enter the collecting chamber. As pollen continues to grind, the pollen passes through the strainer into the lower storage compartment. The dust obtained is called kief. What is? Kief is the purest and most powerful part of cannabis, rich in terpenes and cannabinoids.
