Why Use a Grinder?
An even grind burns or vaporizes more evenly, so you get better flavor and waste less. A grinder also keeps your fingers clean and makes packing a bowl or rolling faster. Use it with our glass pipes and vaporizers.
How to Clean a Grinder
- Take the grinder apart.
- Freeze it for 30 minutes to make residue easier to brush off.
- Brush the teeth and screen with a soft brush.
- For a deep clean, soak metal parts in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry fully. (Don't soak electric grinders.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What size grinder should I buy?
A 50–63mm grinder is a good everyday size. Smaller grinders are easy to carry; larger ones grind more at once.
What is a kief catcher?
A kief catcher is the bottom chamber of a 4-piece grinder. A fine screen lets small particles fall through and collect there.
Are metal grinders better than plastic?
Metal grinders are stronger, have sharper teeth and last longer. Plastic grinders are cheaper and lighter.
How do I stop my grinder from sticking?
Clean it regularly and avoid over-filling. Freezing it before brushing helps remove sticky residue.
