Discover Dry Herb grinding and maximise flavour payoff with minimal effort

Using a herb grinder is a common practice among dry herb vaporizer users to ensure you can puff on a uniform grind and yield a satisfying vape every time. There are several benefits to grinding herbs, including the following:

• Consistency of grind — Using a grinder ensures that your dry herbs are ground to a consistent size, which can improve the efficiency of the vaporisation process and increase airflow. With more uniform shards, your flower is evenly heated, so your vape always tastes fresh from your first puff to your last.
• Increased surface area — Grinding herbs increases their surface area, which can help improve the vaporisation process's efficiency by allowing more of the active ingredients to be released. Plus, with many dry herb grinder models fitted with kief collectors, you can save the most potent compounds and protect the tiny resin glands called trichomes, responsible for cannabinoids and terpenes, to render a highly stimulating experience.
• Improved airflow — Using a dry herb grinder can help improve the airflow through the vaporizer, making it easier to draw vapour from the device and ensure your flower is entirely spent before cleaning the chamber for your next dose.
• Superior flavour — Grinding flower can also help to improve the flavour of the vapour, as it allows more of the aromatic compounds to be released. With improved flavour production, herb grinders can help you savour the nuanced notes of your strain, ranging from citrus fruit to nuts and coffee, among others.

FAQs

What is a dry herb grinder?

A dry herb or herb grinder is a small manual or electric device used to break down and finely chop dried herbs, particularly flowers, into smaller, more manageable pieces for an even burn or vapour production. They typically feature two interlocking halves that are studded with sharp teeth or pegs on the inside, which shred your herb when you rotate each polar side in opposite directions.

How do I use a dry herb grinder?

Grinding herbs couldn’t be easier, and for most people, using a specialised model enables you to achieve the perfect grind on the first go. For the best results, follow our instructions below:

• Open your herb grinder and add your bud to the teethed side after removing the stem and any other debris.
• If you’re using a mill, insert a milling plate that matches the size of the grind you want.
• Reattach the other half of your herb mincer and twist and turn each side until you achieve your desired consistency. If you’re new to herb grinding, consider checking your flower after each full rotation, so you don’t over-process your flower and soon, getting the perfect grind will become muscle memory.

How do I clean my herb grinder?

Cleaning your dry herb grinder is essential to savour the full tasting notes of your flower, unbridled by residue. Follow our instructions below weekly or as needed.

• Disassemble your herb grinder and transfer any remaining flower to a storage pouch or kief collector.
• Using a soft-bristled brush, wick away debris and soak your device in a bowl of warm water and a mild detergent.
• Grinding herb releases its sticky oils that can become encrusted to your device's teeth and walls. If you continuously see residue, soak it in a shallow bath of isopropyl alcohol and wipe it away with a cloth.
• Rinse it with water and allow it to thoroughly air dry before chopping up your next dose.

What types of dry herb grinders are available?

• Two-piece grinders — Like the name suggests, this herb grinder consists of two pieces, comprising a toothed infill side and a second that catches its torn flower.
• Three-piece grinders — Similar to a two-piece herb grinder, it features an additional receptacle that separates the shredded flower and finely ground herbs or kief.
• Four-piece grinders — This style features a third storage container to catch and store pollen and kief.
• Electric grinders — A less-than-traditional option for casual puffers, this herb grinder automates your flower prep for improved convenience.

What are the most common dry herb grind sizes?

• Rough or finger chop — Generally torn by hand or with scissors, this cut is coarse and chunky that’s typically reserved for blunt wraps and larger one-hitter pipes.
• Coarse — Traditionally, this is the most popular grind size for flower fanatics that’s ideal for hand-rolled joints, pipes and bubblers.
• Medium — Offering a finer consistency that’s suitable for grinding herbs for vaporizers, chillums, one-hitter pipes and some bubbler pipes.
• Fine — The finest herb grinding size that’s perfect for portable vaporizers and devices employing conduction heating, like desktop units.

What is a kief collector?

A common fixture of high-end models, kief collectors are a chamber headed by a fine mesh screen that collects and stores pollen and fine dust. With a trichomes-rich potency, flower fanatics look for these features in herb grinders to ensure they can extract their herb’s most stimulating compounds.
