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.
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.
