I got a 3 part standard grinder a few months ago, it's not amazing but it gets the job done. My question is: Once the kief has built up what is the most efficient way to get it out of my grinder and into my bowl? My first thought was to dab it with my finger, or maybe a toothpick but I though I might lose some, so here I sit, typing this post so I won't mess up my first "kief-topped" bowl. ps: I was not sure to post this in Apprentice Tokers since it is a "noobie" question or here, because it is a grinder. (sorry mods)
I usually just use a business card to scrape it straight into the bowl. If you use your finger a ton of the THC will stick and spread.
The best way is a silicon brush that some grinder's come with, or you can buy at a majority of department stores and what not. But that's not usually readily available for everyone. If you have a large razor, and your careful not to cut yourself, it can work wonders. If you don't have either of these a basic hard plastic card ( Credit Card, Gift Card ), will also work alright. Refrain from touching your Kief with your finger's as the natural oils in our finger's very easily absorb's the THC rendering it useless for smoking.
if you have a smooth surface (like a desk) just bang the grinder on there so it all falls out then take something like a credit card or ID and scrape it all into a pill...THEN SNORT THAT SHIT!! jk, once its in a pile take like a knife or something or your id or credit card agian and put it on there carefully with your finger then put it ontop of your bowl and... ENJOY
i got a travel kit a lone time ago that has all the essentials in it, like tweezers, mirror, toothbrush, etc... anyways, there's a little tool in there that has a dull 'blade' on it, a shovel lookin piece and a round little piece. so that's what i use, looks similar to a tweezer but has 3 little tools on it. i used to just cut a little shovel out of cardstock or notecard, something thicker, and use that to scoop it up.
Mine came with the little triangle thing, but like anyone else I lost it. I use a razorblade now. Works better.
