How to use a weed grinder
Weed grinders are fairly simple tools and are easy to use. The following instructions are for your average 4 piece grinder like the one below.

Step 1. Remove the lid (1) of the uppermost section and place your buds onto the teeth (2) in a circle midway between the center and outer edge. Placing your bud in the very center tends not to work as well.
Step 2. Rotate the lid (1) repeatedly to grind the buds giving it about 5 good turns in each direction. Then, peak under the lid (1) to make sure all the buds have make it through to the next section. If not, give it a few more turns in each direction and check again.
Step 3. Before opening the grinder, give it a little sideways shake to even out the ground up buds so they don’t spill out when you open it. This also helps more kief fall into the kief catcher at the bottom.
Step 4. Unscrew the main compartment (2) and enjoy the perfectly ground buds.
Step 5. After a few uses, kief will collect in the bottom most compartment (4) and it may be collected by unscrewing the screen section (3).
I want to know the rate and delivery details.
Then go buy one, genius.
I bought my first grinder. It is 2 piece with a magnetized top grinding part and a screen thingy on the bottom. How do i use this and how is it compared to the 4 piece grinder?
With your two piece grinder it will work the same way, except you will not be able to collect the Kief or pollen (crystals, pixie dust, the good stuff, ect…)in the bottom chamber. It will just collect with the bud. Except you mention a screen…hmm…what is the screen needed for if you only have a two piece grinder? How many compartments do you have? The loading compartment, the bud collecting compartment, the third is for the pollen. If you do not have a section to collect the pollen then you are really missing out. You let it collect up and sprinkle it on top of what you are about to smoke.
Has anyone ever heard of using a coin in their grinder? You put it in the bud collecting compartment and it helps push all the pollen down to the pollen collecting compartment. Has anyone ever tried this?
I tried the coin thingie it works as a charm
yeah the coin thing really works.. i had a friend throughout high school who would smoke me out every day after school and he did that too. and i never thought it did anything or worked (after he told me what it did and how it works) but it wasnt till i started smoking recently that i found it really does kick ass and its a cheap (under 1$) way to maximize the keif!
just make sure to clean the coin well first…. lol
So you just put any coin in the bud collecting compartment and that’s it? No tricks to it? Does anyone know why it maximizes the keif? I’m just curious. I just bought my first grinder after buying a new vape.
Nah youshake it aroundand the nickle flys around knocks the keefer southerland off ur dope. i press my keef and heat up 2 butternives and it vaporizes it. its fuckin intense. been smokin brains damage. its tha fiya. couchlock. too me 15 minutes to type this.
The coins a good trick but if your saving the keif, your knocking pollen off what you are about to smoke so you lose quality. If you plan on saving for a while then don’t use the coin.

I use a British 50 pence piece in mine, because of it’s ubercool curved heptagonal shape, size, smooth edges, and shiny nickel/chrome finish. Mine was struck in 1998, commemorating the Brit’s “National Health Service” (whatever that might be), but I really want the 1994 one (in 80% silver, with the sweet bombers on the backside).

I wouldn’t drop $120 for a kief coin, tbh – but the awesome shape of the GB 50 pence truly does a great job keeping the weed gathered into the concave center of the screen, the edges of the chamber clean, and all the trichomes dusted into the vault, below. I highly recommend it.
Just call me “Fitty Pee” :D
I’m planing on getting a sharp stone on amazon are they the same thin on there

Is there an easy way to grind my smoke all up into a powdered form. I was told that is the best way to use the smoke in my Vapor unit. Or does it have to be ground up like that?
please help woman in distress hehe. how the hell do you stop your grinder from sticking? jusr cant think of anthing. Thank you please xx
I can think of no better to stop your grinder from smelling than washing and wiping it after you use it.
