Grinders. Who's using em?

Im a real advocate of grinding bud to a fine consistency. I see people all the time, just take a piece of bud, and shove it in the bowl. Makes me sad.

Grinding, or breaking it up real well, increases the surface area, and ensures a even burn, whether smoking OR vaporizing (Im a smoker, myself). Shoving a chunk in there, ...the outter portion chars, and keeps the rest from igniting. I mean, come on, ...this is common sense.

So, Ive had several grinders through the years. Ive had the aluminum, cheap, ebay grinders. They SUCK! The "teeth" are pressed in, and eventually one falls out, destroying the others. Plus, ...the pollen box doesnt collect hardly anything, due to a poor design.

Then, there are the plastic ones. They dont work so well. The little teeth arent sharp or aggressive enough.

Next is the wooden ones, with the metal pins. These actually work pretty well, ....but I like having a kief box.

FINALLY, ..there is the all mighty Space Case. I broke down and bought the medium sized "titainium" model, about a year ago. Never looked back, since. Worth every penny of the $110 price tag. I put a couple grams in there, grind it up, and just take a pinch whenever Im ready. And, the screen is so fine, ...I get the lightest, fluffiest, blonde colored kief. Just writing this, makes me want to smoke.:bigjoint:

I bought a med. space case was brilliant then I was pulled one day by the cops, I was in my car parked up by the beach and the bastards knocked on my window in plain clothes when i undid my window they were like "phew... smells funky in here" then wallop out come the cuffs and I got nicked :( they took a Q, my tin (air tight pvc tub) and my BELOVED SPACE CASE!!! :( was vexed they kept it! so upon release I went to my local head shop and straight away bought another..new one :) £45 but what the hell they are well worth it, and I needed a hug from my pot of green gold :) I got a flyer from the head shop and folded it into my new 'M' bought some roach paper a nice new Zippo lighter a few smelly proof bags n met up with a dude in town to sort me out an 8th of G-13, I was really looking forward to using my new kit and sparking up a fatty! when I remembered it was my mates birthday and I was feeling generious and in a good mood now I had my new stuff, despite the grief from the cops, so I bought him a SPACECASE to and had it ingraved with HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MATE. this was a good 6-7 years ago, so its kinda cool we both still have them, and remember the day so well when we got them :) "Its funny, the cops take 1 grinder a some weed and in a matter of days we have 2 grinders and alot more weed, lol, BOTTOM LINE - SPACECASE RULES AND I WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT IT - STELTHY :)

Bought my grinder at a gas station for $13.99. Four piece with a screen, magnetic top and glossy bob marley on the top. It doesnt feel like the best quality, but has lasted me two years so i will not complain.

everybody always gives me crap for using the grinder, but in my heart I know it burns better and lasts longer. Plus when if im out of weed, ive usually got some keef at the bottom to last me a couple days.

I've got a chromium crusher 4 piece and it grinds bud very easily. I was choosing between a space case and crusher but the crusher was easier on the wallet. 24.99$ to my door

I just looked up these "chromium crushers". They look as nice as the space case, ....for 1/4 the cost.

Can anyone confirm the quality? Do the threads feel nice? I might buy one of these for a gift.

Ok, I have never used a space case but I can tell you that the crusher will do the job. It collects kief like crazy, and for 24.99$ you just can't beat it. It has a nice weight to it and really slices the bud up nicely.

Here's the link where I bought it. www.chromiumcrusherherbgrinders.com. Got it in about a week.

I have the Med. Space Case, but mine is aerospace aluminum-zinc alloy. I am a good friend of the guy who owns the shop so I usually get the 20% family discount, so it was a buck even cash. But I can rip through the densest wettest buds with no worries and perfect consistency, where cheaper grinders will jump and spin with half the weight.

I was smoking behind a school in my whip, bad idea, on the day after my eighteenth and decided to bring it out with me, generally I take a bit preground with me. Well clearly on this day I have my first encounter with cops. At this time I was smoking and selling very regularly, very casually. The slanging I kept on the real down low, I had no weed that day, but i had a ton of bags and my scale. Counting on a call later that night. I was with one of my friends and we were just contemplating the universe, staring at a brick wall and a rusty door at the end of the parking lot near the teachers back entrance as a sort of cover.

A guy I know driving by saw my car and parked in front of one of the residential dwellings on the parking lots perimeter and walks over. We are there smoking for probably 2.5 hours, it was dusk and now the light is just shining over the horizon. When all of a sudden a flashlight washes over the car. I turn and say theres a cop, no one hears me and continue on talking and laughing and passing. The cop knocks on the passenger window, and plumes of smoke waft into his face and he starts to cough. "Smoking some pot tonight are we. Woo Wee!!" I shut off the music quick and tried to hide the weed, he says give me your id and registration, we all comply.

He walks back to his cruiser and gets in, I have a scale and a grinder, my friend has a jar with 1/2 oz of some just pure stink. I give him my scale and say put in the glove box, I saw on the DEA show once you can stash stuff behind the main compartment when it swings open, he puts it in. My one friend(the scavenger) says " What if he took our ids and now hes going to kill us, so they can't identify us." Just paranoid as hell. I take the grinder and do all I can with in and I crotch it.

The cop comes to my window this time and asks whos car it is and I say my dads. He says put all of your drugs and paraphernalia on the truck and get out and line up and the brink wall. Well at some point it started to storm so now its raining and windy and I am in shorts and a tshirt. We put a grinder, a pipe, a jar of weed, a bag of weed, I dumped my ashtray on it all and like six lighters, we line up and two more cruisers pull up, one has dogs, happy I have my space case ;) .

We are approached by three cops, the first one and two other guys, that say they are going to search the car, i ask if they need a warrant, he immediately gets defensive " I'll tell you if I find anything I will drag you by your ears through the mud until your back is scared and your guts spill on the pavement.". He puts a hand on this gun and takes a step toward me.

I just say "I don't know thats why I am asking.".

He replies, "Yes we can search your car." And they fucking go to it, they get to the glove compartment and my leg starts trembling, " The cop that came over to watch us said " You cold, or are we getting hot?"

"I think that is pretty obvious. I can't believe how you guys waste public resources." "What do you mean?" "Well I mean 3 cruisers with five cops and a canine unit for a handful of potheads at a elementary school."" You admitting something." My phone rang, it was my mate ready with some nug. :)

So one thing that had never crossed my mind is that my obsessive nature of collecting Canadian tire money and gas receipts, and the collection of bags in plain sight in the car could lead them to believe I was dealing. Unbeknownst to them I rarely had to walk far to sell weed, so I almost never used my car and certainly never enough to incur hundreds of dollars in gas and over $45 in Cad. Tire. They get to the trunk and it turns out that my friend wanted to try and salvage his jar and tossed in and shut it.

So they got me on suspicion, my friend on possession, and everyone else on simple possession. I called my dad earlier on and was convinced the cop who had asked me my dads number, then got me to call, was going to track some shit and start monitoring my calls. Basic paranoia pothead behavior caused by the media, that I eventually conquered but not really.

So my friends that are simple are let to go, but they can't really because his car is infront of the other house so they walk to the other side of the school and sit on the benches. We are put back in the car while our parents come. They get there, some words are exchanged, T is taken from the car. My grinder weighs heavy in my pocket, I decide the best chance of not getting caught with it is to put it into my shoes, so I break it into the four pieces the shorter ones at the front and the taller at the back, losing about a gram and some long saved crystal-missions.

I walked over to the cruiser, feet getting cut and running along the sharp edges of the lid and threads. I hear the cops words but can't really make sense of them. I just can't put them into a intelligible sentence. He stares at me, I like a zombie say " Yes I understand."

My dad directs me to the car and I limp and make it very obvious to the cops the is something in my shoe, we exchange a look that is burned into my mind ever since, but not only the image the entire state of mind. The cop knew and I knew.

My parents never punished me, in fact now they tolerate home smoke. It turns out the house my friend parked infront of was who called the cops.

Long story short, Space Case are the bomb. But I will be checking those Chromium ones.

Peace
