Spice Herb Grinders

Posted by Ballard Kjeldsen on May 31st, 2021

It’s no secret that when it comes to purchasing herb grinders you want the best grind for your buck. For those of us not made of money,Masterdamis a great choice. Made from aircraft grade aluminum, Masterdam Grinders can hang with many of the higher quality grinders while costing less than for the larger 2.5 inch version. One of the best selling herb grinders on Amazon,Golden Gatehas made a name for themselves since coming on the scene in late 2013. I hate it when paint chips off my grinder and into my herb, and so does Golden Gate. The Kingtop grinder is nearly as big as the palm of your hand, great for when you have a considerable amount of bud and don't need to be discreet. Its four pieces include a magnetically sealed cap, a grinder, a mesh screen, and a catch tray—a big one, at that—and its 45 teeth ensure smooth grinding. Sans a decent grinder, you might as well chop an entire gram in two, stuff one half as is into a rolling paper, and throw the other half into the garbage. You need good grinder blades to seamlessly cut through your dry herb, sifting out the bad chunks and preserving the extra-potent pollen, without a bit of an eighth wasted. Those blades will create a little mound of fine, fluffy weed to roll, vape, or hell, bake into a cake. The item itself "very good quality" but I ordered two 2.5 herb grinders and got one 2.5 and a mini grinder BOTH very good quality. This is a medium size with four section for chopping and grinding. On the other hand, the Santa Cruz Shredder will still outperform many other herb grinders that are available for sale. Another factor investigated for each weed grinder was the number of shredding teeth relative to the size of the grinder. Generally, you want a cannabis grinder that has more teeth as having more teeth lends itself to a finer and more even grind. So, when you smoke the resulting herb product it will burn evenly. As a rule of thumb, the best weed grinders that are 2.5 inches in diameter have around 50 teeth total. Each weed grinder has a unique hole pattern that allows for ground weed to drop into the second compartment. Many of the best grinders, such as Space Case, utilize circular hole patterns allowing for a great amount of herb to fall through. Like buying tronado to chop by using this grinder the herbs come out chop/grind nice. The addition of a Walmart Protection Plan adds extra protection from the date of purchase. Walmart Protection Plans cover the total cost of repair, or replacement, for products, as well as covering delivery charges for the exchange. Walmart Protection Plan options and pricing can be found on the product page, as well as in your cart. Still, there are other herb grinder brands that use different hole patterns. For example, Santa Cruz Shredder uses oval shaped holes. Overall, we do recommend grinders that have circular holes as we’ve found that other hole patterns tend to let herb get to the second compartment without being completely ground. Without a doubt, Black Tie Grinders are the best weed grinders when it comes to the combination of quality and price. It should be pretty obvious by now that Black Tie makes a pretty dope weed grinder. In fact, each Space Case comes with a guitar pick pollen scraper that has the Space Case logo on it. And for all the guitar players out there this is a pretty cool feature. The differences of the filtering screen on the Space Case and the Black Tie are negligible. Each weed grinder filters very well, and both are reinforced with a metal o-shaped ring. Black Tie Grinders make a weed grinder that comes with two pollen scrapers. If you do get two scrapers, then we suggest you put one in a safe place in case you lose the other that is currently in use. Most metal herb grinders are made of aluminum and some say they are made of titanium. Don’t be fooled, it most likely will only be titanium coated becausetitanium is per pound raw whereas aluminum is about $.75 per pound raw. Actually, we mentioned this in our Space Case Grinder review where the anodized aluminum color of their weed grinders is called “titanium”.
