My Herb bent my grinder
#14126752 - 03/15/11 07:23 PM (12 years, 10 months ago) |

I just picked up some herb tonight that is very dense. VERY dense.
I put a small nug or two into the grinder, and I start grinding. It gets a bit hard to turn, like it sometimes does with tightly pack bud, so I apply a bit a pressure, and the thing makes this weird noise when it breaks through the bud. I dumped it out, looked at the top piece with the blades and notice one of them is bent at a 45 degree angle I was able to bend it back straight with a pair of scissors, but I don't like that my grinders stability has been compromised
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
I know I didn't throw a bunch of stems in by accident, because it was only two nugs, one small and one small - medium. This bud is ultra dense. It busted up into what looked like 3 times what the nug was worth, so it's not all bad. I'll just have to be more careful in the future.

I've straight up destroyed plastic grinders.
Never a metal one, though.

I don't know what kinda grinder you have but you should try a Space Case. A little pricey but the blades are sharp and durable.

I've got a sharpstone
This is the most compressed herb I've ever had, and it's definitely not brick. I've already got a thin layer of kief in the bottom compartment and I only ground up those two buds Granted one of the buds may have been a bit wide for the grinder, but i didn't think it would bend one of the blades. The grinder is completely fixed, though, so no hard no foul I spose
I'll take a picture of the ultra dense bud.

I think it was compacted for travelling purposes or something, because 1 bud looks like it's kind of angeled from being pressed in a corer or something

yeah that one looks pretty solid.
I think I may have just put too big of a bud right in between to opposite moving blades, cause I just tried it again and it worked fine
oh well..

That bud looks fairly dank. I love grinding massive nugs in my grinder. I have a 5-piece Sharptstone, it vibrates too. How much does that "Mendo Mulcher" cost?

Your Sharpstone got a see through top? I've seen a couple teeth bend or snap on those.

depends on how big of a Mulcher you're looking for. anywhere from $15 to $80 bucks. i was in Cali chillin' with some growers last year and they all used these grinders. If the growers are usin 'em you know they're the shit.

My Sharpstone is the kind with the clear top, so I'm thinking that's why it bent.
I just put quite a bit of herb through it again, and it ground it up perfectly. It probably got jammed, I used excessive force and it bent. Still annoying though, but I highly doubt it will happen again.

I don't get crushers. Just pack part of a nugget. What is the deal with the accessories. I'll make some special lip balm for smoking pot next. Maybe it is honey based so it makes the weed taste better? Not bad I guess.

mine collects all the kief I normally lose on my fingers. I can grind a gram in a couple seconds. grinds evenly, so its better for joints/blunts. hits better from the bong/bowl ground up too. and its straight classy

There is no reason not to grind your bud it makes it better in every aspect. I also don't why you'd get a grinder without a keif catcher

Truth!
My grinder has a Keif Catcher compartment and I LOVE it.
Fucking brilliant.
I use a purple space case and a handy skunk tin. As shown in this picture of my tiny living room.

Yeah man, don't you love it when you just pack then nug and get a horrible burn because you have no surface area? That's just so key. I can't even imagine why someone would want a nice, even burn with a ton of kief saved up.

Why would you not want to collect a bunch of delicious kief at the bottom that can be pressed?
If it's a grinder with a screen, it's well worth it to grind. Besides, have you ever tried to corner a nug randomly sitting in a bowl? Doesn't really work too well.

This thread is funny because I have iluvfungi on ignore and it looks like you're all crazy!
Grinders are really great for vaping because it also helps to dry out your weed considerably. I personally think bud should be as close to dust as possible at all times. Anyone else agree?

also a grinder comes in mighty handy when grinding up nugs for butter and firecrackers. speakin' of firecrackers, i made a few a couple weeks back and they are the shit! hella potent. only have to eat about an 1/8th of a cracker and i'm feeling good (i'm not a regular smoker so my tolerance is usually pretty damn low).
