Metal Grinders

A grinder is a handheld tool used to break down herbs or tobacco into a finer, more even consistency. This helps improve airflow and ensures smoother, more consistent burning. Grinders also make it easier to roll or pack your material without waste or mess.

Grinders come in several styles to suit different preferences:

- 2-piece grinders – Simple and compact for quick use.

- 3-piece grinders – Include a storage chamber for ground herbs.

- 4-piece grinders – Feature a fine mesh screen to collect pollen or kief.

They’re also made from materials like metal, wood, or acrylic, depending on your style and budget.

Using a grinder ensures your herbs are evenly ground, which helps them burn more smoothly and efficiently. It also keeps your hands clean, reduces waste, and improves the overall flavour and aroma. For vapers, finely ground herbs provide better vaporisation and stronger flavour from each session.

To keep your grinder working perfectly, clean it regularly with a small brush or isopropyl alcohol to remove residue. Let it dry completely before reusing. Avoid using water on metal grinders to prevent rust. Proper cleaning prevents build-up, ensures smooth rotation, and extends your grinder’s lifespan.

It depends on your usage and preference:

- Small grinders (40–50mm) are great for portability and personal use.

- Medium or large grinders (55–75mm) are better for preparing bigger sessions.

As for materials, metal grinders are the most durable and precise, wood grinders add a natural look, and acrylic grinders are lightweight and affordable for beginners.
