Important Considerations In Buying Herb Grinders

By Lisa Kelly


A lot of individuals use herb, marijuana, or weed for therapeutic purposes so it is imperative that many of them also seek for grinders that they can use. However, many also do not realize that there are a lot of these things that can be a threat to their health. The cheap ones that you may come across in petrol stations and head shops may even be dangerous.

It is not hard to find grinders because multitudinous manufacturers are making sure that they are producing their own, but looking for the correct one which does not come with health hazards is what is tough. Important considerations associated with purchasing herb grinders include its value, performance, and material, among many others. The things listed below are the ones you need take a considerable amount of thinking before deciding to buy a grinder.

There are three materials that a shredder can be made out of, wood, plastic, and metal. There are many advantages and disadvantages for all types of materials and it is up to you to determine which one suits you. Keep in mind that it is inconvenient for you to buy something because of its looks or because it is cheap.

The teeth on shredders are an important feature as it is what is going to do the work for your herb. Depending on the primary material, the teeth can be made of plastic, metal, or nails. When choosing, consider the teeth that it has because it will determine the overall performance of the tool.

Another thing that has something to do with its teeth is its size, shape, as well as the number that one has. Most would have 25 to 50 sets of teeth in a diamond shape, the shape which is the most commonly used. When looking for a grinder, find one that has many of these because the more that there is placed, the better the grinding of the herb will be.

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.

Nowadays, grinders have also evolved from the conventional to more stylish and fit your lifestyle designs. Manufacturers have added handles for easier holding while there are also those who have made the screens removable for cleaning. Ensure that you choose one which does not sacrifice its performance for its design.

Extras such as carry pouches or scrapers also come when you purchase such. Although others may not, these are very helpful especially the pouch in terms of protecting your tool. There are brands that come with extra scrapers, too.
