So I'm relatively new to this whole business and after ordering my first bong I decided it was time I purchased my own grinder instead of borrowing my friends all the time. My question is what is the best grinder for a person on a budget can buy, I've been told I "have" to get a 4 piece but by jove are they expensive. Any help is appreciated
Four chambers are roughly around 15-20 dollars, and trust me, in the long run they'll be a LOT more useful then just a regular grinder. You'd be able to extract the kief off the bud, and after a while of use, you can sprinkle it on bowls to spice it up, or make hash. IMO, it's best to save up a bit of money, and buy something with better value, and will have a lot more use in the future.
Here in Australia a quality Santa Cruz or Cali crusher (go big or go home) are like $70-$100 which imo is crazy money but maybe I'll just have to suck it up and get one cause I'm tired of using fucking scissors like a pleb
A grinder grinds.. Flip it upside down if it needs to be more fine. I hate the Sanatz cruz keef catcher. My screen got clogged because all the keef that had fallen off would not pass thru. Get a 2 stage grinder and smoke the keif along with the flowers
Don't need to get a name brand. I picked this one up for just over $30(canadian). Its about 3.5'' diameter, 4 chamber and will certainly last a lifetime. Just shop around. View attachment 142270 View attachment 142271
I got a 4 piece off of Amazon for like $6 and its great. It's lasted me almost a year and a half so far. No metal shavings and no pieces breaking off. It produces great kief and the threading is good.
Buy a 4 piece. You get what you pay for and at least with the four piece you can collect all the Kief. It is like frequent flier miles for weed smokers. I had a plastic grinder and it worked ok but I love my 4 piece.
I always just go with a space case, it cuts up great and my screen has had zero problems (I've used it for over a year). I used to buy cheaper grinders and spent way more money in the long run replacing them. Save up and buy a better one, you'll enjoy it.
Any grinder that costs less than $100 is going to suck. I kid. I just bought one on amazon that I like. The only thing that differentiates it is that you can unscrew/remove the screen if you want. I ended up just screwing the bottom to the grinding chamber and cut out the middle man (keif screen segment). I myself don't have a need for a screen but I like how a multi part grinder drops the ground bud into another area as opposed to 2 piece grinders. http://www.amazon.com/AfternoonDelight-Piece-Tobac...
I bought a Sharp Shredda from amazon. Write a review and they'll send you another one freeeee! Yes they pay to inflate their ratings, which I don't like, but it got me a free $20 grinder. LOVE the pull out screen they have since I only like to use it 1/4 of the time. I've tried the $5 grinders and they work great for months or a year before the teeth grind down. I've found that I don't like diamond shaped teeth in my grinder, at some point they jam up and it's hard to grind.
I bought a Phoenecian grinder ($60 US) to replace my Chromium Crusher ($35 US) I like the Phoenecian. And for some reason I always run into the problem of clogging the screen, so awesomely enough, you can replace the screens inn the Phoenecian. I like the 4 chamber because when I'm really trying to conserve bud, I'll sprinkle some kief on a bowl to replace using flower and it always packs a nice little punch.
Shtriker grinders are very good and in my opinion are not expensive. I bought the shtriker 3.0 inch for 24.9$ through Amazon, I see now that its price has been reduced. I see that they also have the 2.5 inch, and that is really cheap (around 17$!!). From my experience I can only say that I am very pleased of this shtriker grinder, it is strong and durable feeling but also operationally smooth. comes like most of the grinders with four compartments and the little pollen brush . Look it in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXWRPGW - 3.0 inch http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UVLAZQW 2.5 inch BUT first decide on the size (diameter) 2.5 inch or 3.0 inch b,t,w. I LOVE THEIR LOGO good luck
