Tricks in Making Homemade Herb Grinders
You should definitely try to find the best possible deal when purchasing a weed grinder, but beware, while you may choose to buy the cheapest grinder of all time, don’t make the mistake of buying poor quality. These products may be inexpensive, but often they are not worth considering. Stay away from buying plastic, wooden and imitation metal grinder, because you don’t want to waste your hard earned money, as they tend to break after the first use. More to the point, most cheaply-made grinders either don’t have “kief: catchers or have low-quality kief screens. Pay a little extra for a good quality machine; you won’t regret it and it will last you much longer than the cheaper models.
If you don’t feel like buying a herb grinder, try making one. There is no homemade substitute for weed grinders, but there are a couple of creative tricks that can help you. Why not give the following simple techniques a try?
Use a pair of scissors and a shot glass. It might be a little harder to achieve the optimum density than using an average four-piece weed grinder, but with a little patience you can obtain acceptable results. This method is easier than doing it with your bare hands, but be careful not to spill the bits everywhere.
Use an electric coffee grinder. This method does a better job on the dense buds than the scissors. You just have to be extra careful not to overdo it, because it’s far too easy to turn your buds into dust.
Purchase a real weed grinder; there’s nothing better if you want to avoid spilling or over-grinding. Also, most grinders usually have a kief catcher, which will collect the highly potent pollen crystals that fall off during the processing.
