How to use a grinder?

Grinders are a handy device to have in your stash. What is a grinder, you may ask? A grinder is a machine that breaks up plant material into smaller pieces for easier and more efficient vaporization. They typically consist of two halves, one grinding the material and the other serving as a receptacle when it has been ground. Every good stoner knows how to properly use their weed grinder. Read on for an overview of how it works!

More often than not, people who like cannabis smoke out of joints or pipes because they find them to be discreet and easier than bongs or vapes sometimes can be. While these methods are not wrong, you now have the ability to carry out this method at any time in any place with the Weed Grinder.

A weed grinder is essentially a container that holds marijuana in its compressed cake form and is used for filtering and dividing your material into individual smaller pieces. This helps eliminate any of the leftover stems, seeds or leaves from damaging the filter or receptacle portion of your device.

The grinder is one of the most important aspects of your marijuana smoking set up. In fact, it is recommended to smoke out of a grinder over a joint or pipe for many reasons. Grinders are more efficient than methods such as smoking out of joints or pipes because they help squeeze the resin out of your marijuana, guaranteeing that you will be receiving all the benefits that you would receive from smoking it. The best grinders allow users to take advantage of vaporizing their material rather than letting it smoke out, which also allows for a quicker high and less material used per session due to how well it grinds the material up into smaller sizes.

The average weed grinder comes in two types: a two-piece grinder and a one-piece grinder. Here are some of the differences between them:

Two Piece Grinders

Two-piece grinders consist of two separate halves, one that breaks up the plant material and another that is used to store the ground material when not in use. This means that when you are done grinding up your materials, you can store it in the container portion of your device until another time you need to use it.

How to Use a Two-Piece Grinder?

The best way to use these devices is to fill it with your marijuana until it is almost at the top. If you have a grinder that has a screen, put the material on top of this, but do not press down on it yet. Then, place your grinder in one hand and use the other hand to cover all the holes (the outer holes should be covered first, followed by any holes on the inside of the grinder) and twist them. This will make sure that your cannabis stays in place while grinding.

Once you have twisted the lid onto your grinder, keep twisting from side to side for about a minute or two until you reach an even consistency throughout your material. This will help you shave off the excess plant material, leaving behind only the ground up material.

Once this is done, place your grinder on a flat surface and open it up to check if it is evenly ground. If you do not see an even consistency throughout your material make sure to continue twisting until you do. Once you have created an even consistency throughout your weed, place it on a scale to weigh it and then you are all set!

One Piece Grinders

These types of grinders consist of a smaller container with a lid, usually made of glass or plastic, and an interior compartment containing the plant matter or herb. These devices are not as portable because they are not able to be separated, and you are unable to store your material in it when you aren’t using it.

How to Use a One-Piece Grinder (Glass or Plastic)?

These grinders are much easier to use than two-piece grinders because they do not require any twisting or turning of the lid or compartment for it to work properly. Simply place the lid on the grinder, place your material on top and grind!

Once you have ground up your material, remove it from the grinder and use a pipe cleaner to squeeze out any excess resin. Do not clean the grinder or receptacle portion yet; instead, store your materials in them until you are finished with them.

If your grinder does not have a screen on it, you can simply plug it into a water bong and smoke it through the hose. This will only take a few hits to feel the effects of your marijuana. Alternatively, if you have a screen on your grinder then you can use it on its own.

How to Use a Grinder with Weights

If your grinder has weights inside of it, such as the ZEUS Grinder or the Ballistic Grinders, then the technique is slightly different than with grinders that don’t have this feature.

Grinders with weights function differently than all other grinders because they are able to be used without being twisted, meaning that you cannot remove your marijuana from them until after grinding is complete. In order for the weights to work, you must grind your material to a coarse consistency before placing them back into your grinder.

Depending on what type of material you are grinding, you may or may not need weights. For example, if you are grinding up some weed that is sticky with resin (the famous “Grass” that many of us like to smoke) then these grinders will work well due to the weight inside that will cause you weed to be compressed and compacted down. On the other hand, if you are grinding up leafy material then this method might not be so effective because it will just break up the plant matter inside and may make it harder for it to burn easily.
