Grinders

What are grinders and what are they used for?

Herb grinders are one of the most popular smoking accessories. They allow you to crush herbs so that you can easily dose and use them. They are an essential tool for vaporising.

When buying a grinder, think about what you plan to use it for.

Do you want to carry it everywhere with you, so you need it to be portable? Then the lightweight The Bulldog two-piece eco grinder or the GrinderVac Solid grinder, which is airtight and has pocket storage, are suitable.

Or will you be using the grinder more at home? In this case, the Chewy G3 Deluxe Edition electronic grinder, which is also portable and has patented triggering technology, or the highly functional Aerospaced 4-piece grinder, which features solid neodymium magnets, are suitable.

Types of grinders

Grinders are made from a variety of materials in many sizes, shapes and designs. They are composed of 2 to 5 pieces, with 2 pieces being the simplest grinders and 4 pieces having a few extras.

For travel, you may want a two-piece plastic grinder because it is lightweight and portable. On the other hand, a wooden one can work nicely at home. When choosing, assess your needs.

Plastic grinders are among the cheapest and are lightweight. They can be ideal for travel, but are not as durable as metal grinders. You can buy grinders from Volcano, and they come in two sizes. They have shark teeth and side notches to make it easier to shred herbs. Or get a grinder from the legendary Dutch brand The Bulldog, such as the three-piece transparent grinder.

The wood grinders are tasteful. The wood grain is not only pleasing to the eye, but also functional. The pores in the wood are small pockets in which sticky resin will collect and which absorb excess oil. In our range we offer quality wood grinders made of rosewood, Shisam wood and more. Choose, for example, the two-piece Rosewood Leaf or the four-piece Black Leaf, whose interior is made of aluminium.

Metal grinders are among the most popular. They are mostly made of aluminium, but steel and titanium are also used. These materials are durable and safe. Grinders will be functional for many years if you maintain them properly. Explore our wide range of metal grinders in a variety of colours and order, for example, the stylish Best Buds Flat Square Onyx two-piece square grinder, the Best Buds Mighty aluminium grinder in Rose Gold or the three-piece black metal grinder with embossed logo of the Dutch brand The Bulldog, or the Best Buds design piece, the Gelato Lemon Berries Cone grinder.

Grinders made from eco-friendly materials are a great choice if you’re looking for a functional and stylish design. For example, choose the bright pink two-piece Best Buds Eco Wedding Cake grinder or the Best Buds Eco grinder with Lemon Haze design or the beige eco shredder from The Bulldog.

The grinders are shaped like small stick blenders. Here you can buy The Bulldog x MaryMill grinder, which has a unique design and also serves as a tray. The design features ten different parts, each of which is made of high-quality materials and the blades are made of a material as strong as metal, so they will stay sharp for years.

The teeth of the grinders come in different shapes, sizes and densities:

The spear-shaped teeth grind herbs faster and better; for example, you can find the Deep Engarving aluminium grinder from Black Leaf with a magnetic cap.
The diamond-shaped side teeth crush herbs without having to grind the stem, for example Black Leaf’s aluminium grinder can handle buds, flowers and harder material thanks to the teeth.
Toothless grinders have sharp blades that grind the material to a powdery consistency and take care of the final grind for vaping, such as the four-piece Aerospaced grinder made of durable aircraft aluminium.

If the teeth of the grinders are placed close together, fewer herbs will fit inside, but they will be ground faster.

Grinders by function

You should also choose your grinder according to the number of functions. If it has more parts, it has more functions (and will also be heavier).

In a two-piece grinder you will only use the grinding, for example the Best Buds Eco Grinder Zushi
Three-piece ones also collect ground herbs in a different compartment, such as The Bulldog Original Silver Metal Grinder
The four-piece ones combine the functions already mentioned, plus have an additional compartment for collecting kief or pollen, for example the Best Buds Metal Grinder AK47
Five-piece grinders usually feature a secret compartment for storing small flowers, leftover herbs or other odds and ends, such as the ‘BL’ Aluminium Grinder

Our range also includes designer rolling trays, which make preparing herbs even easier and save you time cleaning up, meaning less mess and more time to relax.

We offer several different themes and sizes. Don’t forget to add to your grinder this tray and order, for example, the customer-reviewed Best Buds Pineapple Express Small Metal Rolling Tray with Magnetic Grinder Card or the Best Buds Smoke Me Large Metal Rolling Tray with Magnetic Grinder Card.
