Weed Grinders

Weed Grinder Styles

The most common type of weed grinders that you’ll come across is a multi-piece grinder, the even more common type (and recommend) using 4-pieces. Each piece connects to one another in order to form sections that allow for grinding and storing.

In addition to grinding, most people often use grinder chambers for extra weed storage space. The top two pieces of the grinder are used for the actual grinding - the very top piece has multiple jagged teeth on the inner lid that, when twisted on top of the piece sitting below it, can fully grind your herb. The second piece that sits below this contains small holes that, once the weed has been grounded, pushes weed through where it falls into the grinder’s storing space.

Multi-piece grinders are the traditional type of grinder you will find, but these days you’ll also find automatic weed grinders like the OTTO automatic grinder which allows one to grind weed with just a push of a button - magical, huh?

How to Pick a Good Weed Grinder

Pieces: Looking for something simple that does the job? Pick up a simple but solid two-piece grinder. If you’re not looking to spend a fortune and are looking for the OG, then look no further. A 2-piece grinder will grind your weed and nothing more. 

From there, you can level up to other multi-piece grinders and choose how you want your weed grinded - some grinders have diamond-cut teeth that will cut up your weed like it’s nobody’s business. Some come with mesh screens that sift out the large chunks of weed while preserving that extra potent kief. 

If you want to make sure you are getting the maximum potential out of your bud, which if you’re spending a fortune on your weed at the dispensary, you’ll likely want to make that investment, go for weed grinders with more pieces — generally the more pieces the merrier, especially if these extra layers come with kief catcher and/or pollen scrapers.

Material: When you shop for weed grinders, you’re shopping for a staple so you want something that will last. However, a durable container isn’t enough to determine if you’ve found some high-quality weed grinders - one of the most important materials you’ll want to assess is the teeth of the grinder. These should be razor-sharp teeth to grind down the bulkiest of nuggets. Extra wide teeth will also allow your grinder to fluff your weed while grinding it into smaller pieces. Aluminum and Stainless Steel are some of the toughest materials you will find when looking for weed grinders.

Size: The larger the grinder, the more bud you can load in for a one-time grind. A big weed grinder starts around the 3-inch mark, so check for these specs when looking for a larger grinder.
