3 Best Herb Ginder Reviews (Updated Sept 2021)

A herb grinder is an essential tool for the modern toker to grind up their flowers for either rolling, packing a bong, loading a hand pipe, or anything in between. Grinders often come in multiple parts and contain several chambers, and work by crushing and cutting up your herb into smaller pieces.

Choosing a good grinder will spare you the painstaking and sticky process of picking apart herbs by hand.

The most common style of grinder is the multi-piece grinder, which uses several pieces that connect to create an area for grinding and storing. Many smokers find these grinders to be the most useful for the extra storing space, which can vary depending on size and diameter

What do customers often consider when choosing a weed grinder?

Material: Grinders are made from several different types of materials, from acrylic to aluminum, or anodized metals. Most people prefer a metal grinder for its durability and feel.
Compartments: Many grinders come in several tiers of layers. The multi-piece grinder often contains a compartment for kief and pollen, while the two-piece grinder simply just grinders your herb.
Size: Portability and the amount of herb you can grind depend on size. Large grinders can store and grind more herb at a time but will be heavier and bulkier to carry around.

Why Use A Weed Grinder?

Using sharp teeth and a little hand power, or the press of a button if you’re working with one of the fancier electric types, a weed grinder rips your herb apart so that you don’t have to spare your fingernails or sacrifice the only pair of scissors you have in the house. As a result, you get perfectly smokeable ground bud without a sweat.

When you’re operating without a grinder, you can’t get your herb as fine as possible for optimal burning, especially if it’s that sticky-icky. Not to mention, you can’t get kief, the resinous trichomes that sparkle all over your bud and are mighty potent. Not easily, at least.

You could spend minutes cutting, or worse, picking your bud. Or, you could use a grinder and break down your stash in seconds and get kief, which you can sprinkle over your flower to enhance it. Talk about the icing on the cake.

Grinders also ensure an even burn. If you pack a bowl with chunky bud, then you can’t get as full of a bowl pack, and you’re essentially wasting it because it can’t heat it as thoroughly. Moreover, it’s harder to stir, and more often than not, there is still some green left, which you won’t realize until you go to dump out the “ashes.”

ECO Farm Medicinal Plants Grinder

Features:

The ECO Farm grinder is made out of medical grade stainless steel, and gives you peak customization when purchasing: you can choose from a three-piece or a four-piece grinder, and you can choose between a coarse grind or a hybrid grind. The deep cutting area allows you to pack the grinder with a larger amount of product, and a stainless steel ball agitator gets all of the kief off of the grinder. Speaking of kief, the grinder has a kief catcher and additional scraper.

Kcanabears Mini electric vanilla grinder

Features:

Although the price may be slightly higher than our average here, so is the quality. One of the first features for flower lovers will notice the smooth grinding. As I mentioned before, this is not obvious. Most grinders expect you to use a lot of force, which often leads to damage to the herbal grinder. The presence of healthy herbs reduces all impurities, making it stronger than ever. The product also contains a removable stainless steel screen. As we have seen in other grinders, this makes cleaning easier.

TSS Electric tobacco shredder-cutter-converter

Features:

This electric tobacco shredder is perfect for shredding all your tobacco, even any legal smoking herbs you may carry with you. This high-power shredder can process up to 50 grams of vanilla or tobacco, and you can even mix them together at the same time to create your own custom blend. Chopped vanilla and tobacco make them easier and more consistent to smoke, and will make a difference in the hand-rolled cigarettes you make.

What to Look for in a Weed Grinder

1: More Chambers, More Options
A standard two-chamber grinder will get the job done, but your options become endless once you upgrade to one that has a kief catcher and additional chambers. A friend described adding “middle weed” — weed that’s not kief but more fine than what typically get used — to a Volcano to get a more flavorful high. Mess around with different combinations of consistencies to get different highs.

2: Look for the Teeth
The teeth shape, and the number of teeth, affect how the weed is broken up. However, more teeth doesn’t necessarily mean better (you don’t want weed that’s too fine right off the bat), and not enough teeth equals chunky weed and more time grinding.

3: Material Matters
There are three kinds of metals typically used to make grinders: zinc, aluminum and stainless steel. There are plastic grinders on the market, but you might encounter a broken tooth if you’re grinding tough weed. Additionally, cheaper grinders might be coated with paint or a finish, which could chip off and get into your weed. You definitely don’t want to inhale that!

4 Grip is Important
The better grip a grinder has, the easier it’s going to be to use. And, an easier grip means you have to use less torque (the measure of force that causes an object to rotate around an axis) to grind the weed. That’s important if you’re a user who experiences a lot of hand pain.

5 Don’t be Afraid to Splurge
Grinders get a lot of use. A cheaper grinder might not last you as long as something made of high-quality metal. Paying more gives you the peace of mind that a tooth won’t break, the product won’t flake, and that nothing funky from the grinder is getting into your weed.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for the best cheapest weed grinder, look no further than the ECO Farm Grinder.

There are a LOT of cannabis grinders to choose from out there, but these are the three that people use daily.
