What weed grinders do you like? Do you even grind?

Is that a Mendo Mulcher?

It's a Diamond Grind 110mm. They're local.
Huge grinder!
I forgot I had it until I found it going thru boxes of old smoking gear.
Didn't realize they had lifetime warranties either.
I think I quit using it because it was a PITA to clean but that was before I had a UC too

The thin upper piece had me convinced...
I like grinders built like that, like my Mulcher. They hold more flower in the middle chamber that way.

Man times have changed when I see 20-year-olds that look at me like I'm a ghost because I don't even smoke flowers anymore I just sift grinded up put it in the jar and sift it through a fine mesh screen. I also got to wonder where my tolerances at right now because the stuff that I throw away that I don't even really touch I have people try that don't smoke a lot and they're looking at me like I'm on another planet that it doesn't touch me so it's interesting how over the course of time what I consider really dank would probably drop a horse on its ass with the way my tolerance is

Haha I like this.

Ima try this next time I get a chance...
 
from what i understand the pause in ultrasonic action give the object a second to let any air gasses bubble off the surface in turn replacing that gas bubble with the liquid and cleaning better. i know when i use it i can see tiny bubbles dispersing. some people seem to swear by it. i'm not one of those people.. i use it but i also use the non degas in the same cleaning session.

i'd be curious if you try it and out and what your thoughts about it are.
I did try it. It worked. I should do a comparative cleaning of the two methods. I'll let you know,if I do.
 
Do you use a weed grinder? Tell me about your grinder. Do you like it? What do you like about it?

I've been collecting and reviewing weed grinders for over a decade, and I'm currently updating my content.
There are 12 different grinders on my desk right now for testing and about 100 more in my collection.

I'd love to hear your preferences and perspectives on grinders.
I've never used a grinder, just my fingers and scissors. What are the benefis of a grinder?
 
I just went through this myself. I was going to get A Brilliant Cut grinder or a flower mill. I ended up getting a Ergo Electric Herb Grinder. It's just a decent coffee grinder with a steel cup that can be removed for cleaning. Cost me 35$. Works great but if you go find for too long it turns into powder.

We did it that way for years. Works fine. Grinder makes it a little easier and you can use the kief catcher if you want to make hash later.
I'll add it is quicker and more consistent if you are rolling a bunch or prepping for the squish or tumble.
I usually roll at least 3 joints at a time to go with me so it is just easier for me.

Mostly to homogenize the flower and get a consistent burn.
Homogenizing it balances the content and like most meds when homogenized, increases effect and potency of the medicine.

You can test this yourself by smoking a bud in a bowl without breaking it up. Straight from stem to bowl and hit it with fire.

Take that same weed and grind it up, homogenizing it, and load it up. It should hit you stronger and faster than what the nug was able to do.

This is often the secret advantage vaping has over smoking since many smokers simply break off pieces of flower and load into bowls while vapers have to grind and that grind is what gives the potent effect, not necessarily the vaporizer.

This also applies to cannabinoid testing. You get far more accurate and complete test results grinding the samples first rather than trying to test an intact nugget.

a consistent herb for more consistent burning or vaporization
no finger contaminants in your herb
no wasted weed oil/trichs on your fingers/clothes
grinder can double as a storage container for leftovers in between sessions
