It will take a little getting used to but I did find it more difficult to use than a standard grinder. I may have over loaded it. The storage chamber is large, I loaded it full as I could last night and there was still room in the storage catch. Today I will do smaller batches and post up some more detailed pics.

The catch chamber is also threaded so 1/4 turn opens it.


It is pretty intuive to disassemble, thought the green thing was a joint holder for a good bit, id suggest they leverage that piece to make a tool so they can have a more elegant head on the screw that holds the center pivot to the milling screen.

There are a couple gaskets and things and we will test the durability over the next few months. I have never had this style grinder before, I've seen some things but they all just looked like they would smash the bud, perfect for dispo weed that was fed pgrs.

The product is fluffy and uniform, there seems like less trich molestation. I did not get the kief screen they sell as an optional add on as I see no point in them.

I'll have to find some papers for a joint too.

Impossible to revert back to a coffee grinder- once you tried a coffee mill.
Curious to see if if the canna improvements are proportional.

Is there anyway to adjust the gap?

They have different milling plates with smaller/larger holes.

There is a gasket in the lid, a different thickness would adjust some I think but I think there is just a trick with how much pressure to apply.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Real time test.

Normally I'd pull those little sticks on the end but according to the advertisement, it's not necessary to do at this point, with the right pressure I'll be able to pull them off the milling plate.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Not bad.


Pretty happy and I don't think it's confirmation bias.

How do she do, with the gummy/wet stuff?
That is certainly the downfall of those diamond meshing dealy's.
Gummy stuff never wants to fall through the holes.

That piece of a two-piece we had actually addressed that issue quite well.
There are no holes to fall through!

Still rocking this piece of junk

I sincerely hope you threw yours out the window, somewhere near OneFour.
The sticker is probably the nicest feature
I still cannot believe I bought those for $2.75

It went to an appropriate receptacle.

bought those for $2.75

This pos was $10 plus tax but they resolved the no hole issue by including a backside storage compartment.


I'll get back to you on how it handles the really gooey shit, seems like it's better than the standard style.

Really well.

The flutes will need occasional attention I think.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Works for seeded weed.

Curious to see if if the canna improvements are proportional.

Having not gone back, I'd say yes. Haven't rolled a J yet but confident enough to say it will be better than a traditional grinder. No need to stir bowls really superior burn.

 

[Smoke_A_Lot]

That's nice bro!

I kind of stepped away from grinders myself and prefer a sharp pair of scissors personally.

 

[JL2G]

Imho I'm really loving this thing.

Thanks @DopeDaniel for the plant/cat sitting gift. This thing does an amazing job, and leaves a nice fluffy pile of weed.

Burns so much better/more complete than others I've used. As Daniel said, it does eliminate the need for stirring a bowl. Burns down nice and easy throughout, very consistent.

I'd for sure recommend. 👌

Follow up report on the mill.
Still love it, has seen alot of weed, at least a qp by now. It's seen a few beans too.
GodBud F6 or 7(i forget atm), and Slymer x GodBud

Favorite part is its seed friendly, no more hand cleaning weed w seeds. And no ground up beans, or possible keeper phenos wasted.
Only weed grinder I've ever seen not destroy seeds.

u got me convinced, i looked and the premium version is out of stock . Gonnea wait it out and get one. Emailed them

 

[Smoke_A_Lot]

My problem with grinders is they get gunked up, and I feel the trichomes stick to it, that's one of the reasons I prefer scissors. I've went through many grinders through out the years, some better than others.

 

[OldG]

I think I really want one.
This is highly rated for vapes...
And that weird seed removing percolator looking screen... WHAT A GREAT IDEA !!!

You get a stiff nylon brush.

Freezer your grinder.....brush it out.

It really sucks when you cant hercules the fucker apart.... BUT Man i have some wicked channel locks.



Coffee grinder is ok.... and once a year you have a couple of grams of hash to scrape out.

That percolator screen, (milling plate) as you call it is what mills the weed, yet let's the beans fall right through. There's 3 diff size of those plates, that pic is the med sized one.
I haven't cleaned it yet, and it doesn't give me any issues with even the stickiest buds.
Being as it cuts the weed vs grinding it seems to not mash the trichs near as much, and kind of self cleans for the most part. Using it is quite a bit diff than a normal grinder though. Alot less pressure, and easy spinning. Similar to the pressure when grating soft cheese.
Lol @Psychobilly , he said cheese. 🤣

I'd have seen it eventually My monthly searches to make sure I see everyone running that would pay off hahaha

i want it now. I will save up for that SS model on sale.

When your grinders get caked....dental instruments work better with SS... or you might smoke some aluminum

I hear you, but scissor hash is also a plus too.
