I second this, haven't had it as long but for several years and it's still going strong.
Yeah, it also almost never gunks up or has issues. Itβs been my go to for three years
Iβve also had mine over a decade! In love with it! Although itβs starting to get squeaky these days, whatβs your recommended cleaning routine?
Qtip with 91% or 99% ISO around the inner lip to remove all caked on jank. Soak the mesh in ISO and scrubby with a soft toothbrush. Brand spanking new. Just hit with hot water after ISO to see if still sticky (repeat ISO baths) & remove any residue then let dry. Brand spany new
Thank you π
I started getting Santa Cruz Shredderβs after trying a few different gimmicky grinders. Stay away from the Kannastor GR8TR multiple of them broke on me and the paint chipped off really quick.
How much do you grind at a time, and how do you use it?
I got a jumbo 88mm grinder so I can do enough to fill a full tray of Mighty capsules. Would be ridiculous if I just needed 1/4g for a bowl.
Coarse grind, fine grind, threadless closing, kief catcher, stylish design etc. It really depends on whatβs most important to you.
I got a Kozo grinder a few years back off Amazon (before I paid more attention to what I consumed in general) and it's been great so far. All metal, it comes with a kief catcher and a scoop. I think I got it for like $20?
I have the same one and itβs great!
I have a Tsunami grinder that is excellent. It doesn't get gritty and stiff to turn from kief like most grinders I've had.
Wakit Electric Herb Grinder -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DS6656
My roommate bought a few different types of electronic grinders and I kept saying they were a gimic, but when he got this one I was right behind and it's my default now. I haven't turned a grinder by hand in over a year.
Old mate. Solid chunk of Cnc metal.
Those plastic cylindrical ones where you can store some buds on top that you can find in any headshop have always treated me right. They work great and their cheap. Have to be replaced occasionally though.
Plastic is out for me, I don't judge if you use it but I try to have as little plastic as I can.
I've heard there's an app for that
Those metal card grinders seem durable and easier to clean. My plastic grinder has these spikes that are a real pain in the ass to clean.
I've never used one of those but they do look pretty easy π€
you probably got one by now, but as someone with a 3d printer I can recommend making one yourself. you don't necessarily need a 3d printer for that
I considered that actually, I do have a 3d printer. But ultimately decided that if I shouldn't put food on 3D printed parts I shouldn't smoke off it either, and with my existing attitudes about plastic I prefer metal. Maybe one day I can talk the ol lady into letting me find space for a CNC mill π€
Sharpstone is pretty good quality and not overly expensive.
Santa Cruz Shredder is supposedly the best, but it's a bit pricey imo
Any grinder will work. Go to your local head shop and buy the cheapest one they have. It'll work just fine
I heard Grindr . Com is pretty popular with your type.
I think this breaks Commandment #2 but I'm letting it slide because I chuckled
Much love, hope you'll find some at Grindr too!
