What’s the best grinder?

An herb grinder, also known as a weed grinder, is a device containing teeth to churn and chop tobacco, cannabis, herbs, and a variety of materials from plants.

Before the invention of these devices, users had to use scissors to grind these elements. The herb grinders have made preparing for vaping a whole lot easier and more efficient.

When buying an herb grinder, there are a variety of considerations to keep in mind. We have outlined a few of them.

What kind of grinders are there?

Following are the three common kinds of herb grinders:

Compartment Herb Grinder

  • This type of herb grinder contains only one section where the herb is placed, chopped, and retrieved. With just a single compartment, it is difficult to take the ground herb out. An example of this would be the Volcano Herb Mill XL

Some Portable Vapes that use convection heating like the AirVape Legacy Pro will work best with a fluffy grind that these can provide as it will provide better airflow!

Compartment Herb Grinder

  • The two compartments in this type are separated by small holes between them. These holes allow only certain chunks of the herb to pass through, making sure that the herb is ground more evenly. Also, since eventually the churned pieces are in the second compartment, they are quite easy to retrieve.

  • The extra compartment in this type is perfect for grinding pollen and kief. The third section is separated from the second one by a thin, fine screen.

Acrylic Grinders

  • Acrylic grinders are the least expensive option. However, they are not durable and only come with one compartment. Also, if you do not take care, acrylic material might find its way into the herb which can prove to be quite dangerous.

Wood Grinders

  • Wood grinders have a natural appeal and an attractive look. They are also only available as 1-compartment grinders.

Magic Flight Finishing Grinder

Make sure that there is no painting or any other type of finishing inside as it might mix with the herb and produce undesirable consequences.

Metal Grinders

Herb grinders made out of aluminum are the most preferred options. They are not only safe, but also contain more than one compartment. Check out our Otto Grinder Review for info one of the coolest electric and metallic grinders.
