Black stuff on side of grinders...

    was wondering what the black stuff on the inside sides of grinders actually is, and how do i get rid/prevent it from building up since it loosens the compartments.

    Is your grinder black? It's probably chipped paint. Can't think of anything else that it could be.

    Either ^ that or it might be dust. Do you keep in in your pockets/backpack often?

    Dude give the $10 gas station grinder to your friend. You can buy a Sharpstone for 30 bucks :)

    ive noticed that if any trichomes escape the chamber of the grinder and hit the threads on the twist on/off part, that they sometimes get dark/black from being ground in the threads together.

    not sure if you mean that, or something on the inside of the grinder chamber.

    These guys don't know shit.

    (edit: ninja'd by architoker)

    If you grind a ton of weed, what that black stuff essentially is is hash. Just in an oddball form. You can clean it w/ a q-tip and some alcohol. Or you can do qwiso which there are tutorials for on this site.

    I prefer to just scrape it off w/ a knife and throw it on top of the bowl.

    It'll get you really high.

    You can tell the difference between chipped paint and black, stretchy stuff can't you?

    I had a grinder that was so gummed up that it couldn't turn at all and I just gave up on it for months, then one day just say down and cleaned the fuck out of it and the resultant pile of shit got me high as a fucking monkey.

    yea, i think its definitely the crystals and shit. always thought that, but was generally high so wasn't sure. im probably going to clean out the 2piece grinder i had for all of freshman year of uni and see how high i get off that.

    I was wondering this same question and thought maybe it's hash but I thought that would be to good to be true thanks for clearing this up. :D

    mrgoodsmoke and jeffdankity are right, its leftover kief and plant matter that over time from grinding compress and condense on the nearly unreachable sides of your grinder. Use a sharp point or isopropyl alcohol to get it, and smoke that shit, gets you uber high.

    I had a grinder that worked great except for the fact that it would become hard to turn with due a green/black residue on the sides of the grinder. What i believed it to be after research was when a small amount of bud was pressed in between walls of the grinder.

    To clean it just get some 99% isopropyl alcohol with a q-tip and rub. Comes right off and then it works like brand new. I promise.
