I have been smoking for a few years now, but now that im smoking a bit more often im trying to invest in quality tools for my stash box. I plan on buying a grinder next due to me rolling more often now. I have a few questions before I make a purchase. 1.) What grinder do you guys recommend (has to have a kief catcher and $35 at the most) 2.) Where did you get yours 3.) How quick does kief usually build up? People say it happens quickly but that depends on how often you smoke. say I grind up an 8th of some high end bud, how much keif would I get? would it be enough to top a bowl? Thanks in advance +rep for whoever can provide me with good answers and a link or two.
1. I've had a Sharpstone medium 2.2" for 2 years with no problem. Its a 4 piece. I wouldn't recommend getting one with a clear plastic top or one of those crank handles. Just get a full metal one. 2. Picked it up off Ebay for $20 shipped back then. They're a bit more money now, probably closer to $30-35. 3. Never really payed attention to how long kief builds up. You don't want to grind more than you'll smoke in the day. I usually grind up a few grams and then put them in plastic airtight containers to carry around. Leave them grinded up too long and it'll dry up faster. I have this: http://www.sharpstonegrinders.com/products/Med.-Sharpstone-Herb-Grinder-4-piece-Black.html
I got the sharpstone 4 piece glass top grinder and i love it. $20.00 flat from ebay and it is sick. Don't be afraid of the glass top, i've dropped mine from 4'+ onto concrete and it was totally fine. They are really durable and in my opinion look awesome. Its really nice knowing all the bud got through the holes before you open it up and accidentally spill some. I'm telling you man, go for the glass top
