Tips In Choosing The Correct Herb Grinders

By Lisa Kelly


Several weed, marijuana, and herb enthusiasts look for the perfect shredders they can use for their hobby. However, many of these people are also not very much well informed that there are several dangers that come along purchasing ones that are not of high quality. Many choose to buy those sold in head shops or gasoline stations without realizing that they may be harmful for their health.

Because there are many of these things that you can pick from, it is vital for you to be able to know what you need to look for when you are going to buy one. There are many important considerations that one needs to keep in mind when choosing herb grinders. The following paragraphs will provide information on the things that you might need to look for when buying one.

First is considering the material from which it is going to be made of. Generally, grinders are made of three types of materials namely, acrylic or plastic, wood, and metal. Of course there are pros and cons for each material so you might to check that out before you settle for buying one because it is cheaper or because it looks pretty.

The teeth of most acrylic grinders are made out of the same material which can break easily, while the ones in wood are mostly made of nails which can rust overtime. The teeth on metal ones are mostly made of aluminum and sometimes, are coated with titanium. Consider choosing one with the most durable teeth as it will be one of the many factors that can affect the quality of grounded herb.

Teeth come in many different shapes, sizes, as well as the number that a grinder can have. Most have as little as 25 to more than 50 teeth with a diamond shaped pattern. Because this is the part which does all the work, its important you choose which is the most effective when it comes to grinding your stuff.

While some may have the common circular shaped holes, others also have oval shaped ones. These holes are important because they are the ones who will let the herb fall to the second compartment. This is why picking the right shape is vital because if you choose one with a poor shape or pattern, there is a tendency that there will be more unground material to fall to the next compartment.

You should also check for magnets on the lid of both compartments which composes the grinder. This is because there is a tendency for the lids to pop off while grinding which may spill the herb, so the magnets will be vital in keeping them together. Look for one with strong magnets that are also strongly attached so as to keep them from becoming loose in the long run.

One also needs to look at the design of the shredder. Choose one that not only fits your lifestyle, but also has a design that makes the task easier. Most have come up with innovations such as removable screens for easier cleaning as well as handles or finger placements for easier grip.

Finally, its also important that one considers the extras that may come when they purchase such like a scraper or a pouch. There are a great deal of manufacturers that have included pouches for protection as well as to make it easier for one to carry the device easier while some have included extra scrapers. Choose one which includes useful extras so you do not have to buy them individually yourself.
