Kief Grinder

[Weedguru Higher]

So I wanna get a grinder that collects kief, and I'm wondering what exactly should I get?

I assume a metal one is best?

How many compartments should it have?

How much should I expect to pay for a decent one?? I've seen prices varying from $10 - $70

Does anyone know a good place online that I can buy one? (It's probably waay cheaper than my local headshop)

Get a metal one with magnets to keep both parts always togheter.
you'd also want a compartiment to get kief as you grind your weed.

i'd invest 35$+ for a really good quality metal grinder.

Well, I went ahead and made my purchase without even waiting for responses...For some reason I woke up this morning with an urgent need to get one..like now lol. I initially though of getting it online, but hell that takes too long!

I went to a small headshop downtown and asked the guys advice....he said exactly what Mate said above

The magnetized lid is so cool...I had never even seen one. Everyone I know just has crappy grinders, like my old one.

I got one that had the smallest possible mesh in the screen to get the best quality kief possible. (That was within my budget range) I looked at another one with 2 screens, but they were way more expensive and hardly a necessity

I also chose one that is significantly bigger than my old one. I had to grind atleast twice sometimes 3 times with the other one to get a joints worth. It's medium size cause they had other ones that were bigger.

It chops amazingly well. The blades are very sharp! My old one just had rounded pins and didn't work well at all.

The price of the grinder was $30 but I managed to bargain it down to $25 with all my sweet talking.

there's grinders here that look just like that and do the exact thing for only $10.. it's cheap as hell.

The cheaper ones are metal magnetized with TWO screen to filter it.. but I've found that the 2nd screen is completely useless unless you're that anal about getting a VERRRRRRY tiny bit of higher quality kief (not even a noticeable amount)

those double screened grinders are more for growers/dealers who go through larger amounts of weed than most people, and can turn a profit by getting higher quality presses and what not, atleast thats what was explained to my by my dealer buddy.

There were a few cheaper grinders too, but the screen in those had larger holes in the mesh..or they were acrylic

One of the cheaper one was this cool beer can grinder...I wanted that but the mesh was too large.

If you look around they have cheaper ones of the same brand.

I got one like this but the orange colored one. I recommend sharpstone but for optimal kief harvesting get a metal colored one and don't get the one with the clear surface.

They give you a litte spatulla but unless it's metal that doesn't do much good. I use a brush that came with my electric razor, it works perfectly for collecting the kief.

Found a picture of mine:

Got a new grinder...

I don't even know what make my grinder is...I figured it was a cheepo no name brand....there is no marking on it at all that specifies the company/manufacture

It's is 2 inches wide by 2 inches tall...aluminum I assume

I am well aware that I could have got it online for cheaper....but this was an early morning 'urge'....I wanted it now...not in a week. Initially my idea was to buy online..

I think though that I made a good choice in regards to mesh screen size though...I wanted smallest possible screen for cheapest price

DocG, I do not understand...why would colored one be better than metal?

Please excuse my rude behavior by double posting but I have another question...

I have never owned a kief grinder before in my life....the question I have is the following :

When I grind my shit up, am I supposed to just grind and do nothing really, or should I shake my grinder a bit to get more kief that falls through the screen? Or will this just get more small shitty pieces that fall through?

some people shake it some people dont, start shaking it if you want more keif dont shake if you want just the stuff that falls off from grinding it.

shaking it would make your fresh bout to smoke stuff less potent tho...
