Why does everyone think they need a grinder in 2019? What am I missing here?

- No sticky/smelly fingers.
- Uniform size flower makes for neater rolling, more consistent packs, and more even ovens.
- Kief catchers in multi-piece grinders are nice because most consumers won't recognize when some trichomes have been removed consistently on a daily basis, however, on some days you just need some extra umph. That's where that little nest egg of golden deliciousness comes in.

Just my 2¢

 

That ^^^

 

It's like a car not strictly necessary but useful to have

 

Agree

 

Me too.... tho I like to use Scissors now and then ...lol

 

A lot of the time, I don't use a grinder. I use one if I have to roll a bunch of J's in a hurry. I usually take out a bud in advance so it gets drier. Then it's easier to use my fingers.

Now that I'm using my vape again, I might be using it more because it vapes better if it's an even consistency.

 

Dam surely you must of failed trying to break GG up in your fingers or super lemon haze its just not possible looool

 

You guys don't understand the concept of why you would grind weed at all. When I talk about "grinding" I mean ground to a POWDER - with a coffee grinder - NOT the cheesy little hand grinders OP mentioned. With a known potency and a scale, measuring for dosage in edibles becomes consistent. Mixing with other foods is easy and consistent. I won't re-state the bowl-packing issue already mentioned. Once you know what you are doing, the only reason NOT to grind is rolling joints.

 

I stand guilty of not understanding the "real concept" of getting a nug throwing it in a "cheesy" grinder I do apologise for my lack of knowledge in this field please forgive me sir.

 

You're losing out by using your hands, if you have a grinder with a keif catcher you get more for your money imo..

 

I grind simply for the way it smokes.
I prefer that rapid, even combustion to the slower, tokier rips of chunkier mixes.

I often use a two piece grinder when I'm vaping so I can keep as many trichs as possible.
I use my fingers for blunts, and a rough grind for joints.
scissors every now and then for the hell of it.

OP, do any of those vaporizers you have prefer more finely ground weed or do they all handle the finger-broken stuff pretty well?

 

Of ya use fingers half the shit is stuck tonyour finger the bit you wanna smoke is on your fingers.
And if you dont grind it and have lil lumps od ot in joints ect theres a good chance your gonna waste some in the burn process and it will just get flicked out with the ash grind it and them bit will burn evenly.

 

Owned a grinder for a week and gave it to my friend. I’m used to packing down a fat nug and breaking it around a bit so it’s even then toke up. I’ve noticed 2-5 more hits from a none grinded bowl. Plus if I’m trying a new strain why would I want all the other strains I’ve grinder mixed with my new strain?
I never have sticky fingers and when I do I enjoy it with my fingers up my nose like a child.

 

I only use scissors - in everything. I don't smoke much but make oils and stuff.

 

You remind me of the guy who thought it was a smart idea to stick his roaches in his ear to clean it. Which btw was hilarious when he had to go to the doctor and explain why he had to get a roch surgically removed from his ear (and was illegal..)

I think you are a bit OCD about your grinder being contaminated with other bud..

If you want to stick full nugs in your piece, that's fine. Actually you get the most flavor imo that way, but to me is less ideal. To each their own.

 

I break up bud dif ways all the time. Grinder, fingers, or scissors really depends on where I’m at n what’s available. I don’t discriminate. Do what makes ya happy.

 

Imagine drinking coffee from the whole bean compared to grounds.
It'll still work, but wouldn't you rather get your moneys worth?
