Nickel In Grinder?

  1. Sup Blades! :smoke:
    So, my friend told about putting a nickel in the herb collector part of a 4-piece, and it'll help get more keif in the keif collector.

    I think it works great if you swish around the nickel after grinding up some fresh bud.
    do you guys do this too? or just me? Lmfao.

    I've done it. 
     
    It's one of those things where you gotta decide whether you want more kief on your buds when you smoke them or more kief to smoke later. I don't notice much of a difference in the buds I grind with a nickel, so it was worth it for me. 
     
  3. same, I feel no difference between when I do, and don't. it's a small amount extra, but over time, it adds up!

  4. I've done it , it gets the job done
     
  5. I use to do it, but then I took the coin out while I was cleaning my grinder and never bothered to put it back in. Doesnt bother me in any way, plus I dont have the rattling sound now with my grinder.
     
  6. I do.

  7. I just used the scraper that came in my grinder. But then I ended up losing a lot when trying to then use the scraper so I just never did it.

  8. Yes I have tried it and it gets you noticably more keif. It works better if you use one of those tokens from an arcade because they wont stick to the magnet in your grinder.
     
  9. There might be plant matieral mixed in with the kief. You should use a micron microscope to be sure. Good luck.
     
  10. Haha, hey man, I'm not worried about some plant mixed in, just looks more keif to me, haha

  11. I use a nickel because it has flat edges.
    But don't shake it alot at all or you will destroy your keif

  15. I spent a lot of money on grinders (i have like 10 and spent about 200 bucks on them all), used to put quarters in them would put them in the freezer, collect all my kief n make patties.

    But i bought a metal screen for a dollar used and havent used my grinders since. Nothing compares to a screened bowl imo.

    I wont ever go back.

    But i dont smoke in public or take unnecessary risks, so havin a bowl is better for me, where it might not be for some people who smoke on the go and it wont fit in your pocket lol

    I can respect others preference for sure.
     
  16. I smoke through water pipe mostly have a few differences vales for on the go.... Gotta love that bho
    on the go!!!
     
  17. Why a penny?

    I use a little piece of wire that i bent all up. You don't hear it, and instead of smashing plant material through the screen like coins would, it breaks trichomes off throughout the herb chamber. Only a small amount of wire is in contact with the screen, while almost all of it is in contact with herb. 
     
    I have three grinders. I used two for a test, i put a dime in one and my wire twist in the other. I ground up a g in each. The one with the dime had a coating, but it was brownish green. The one with the wire had about 2/3 as much, and it was whitish tan. If i ground up a g without anything in the herb chamber there would barely be any kief to notice, but even though i had a third grinder i didnt feel like it at the time. I had a magnifying glass and saw hairs in the one with the dime, while the one with the wire was just trichome heads and stalks with a couple thin hairs. I've never noticed a difference in the high from smoking after it went through the grinder, but all of my friends had me make some kief wires for them too.
     
  19. I never bother with a coin unless I'm doing an extraction. I like dumping my grinder's contents and hate having a coin in there, it annoys me
