I use a plain old 4 piece hand grinder. I was looking around for an electric grinder to make it a little easier but don’t have a clue if a small coffee grinder would work or not. What do you guys use to grind your buds? ---

Hey bro… Electric Coffee grinders work a treat. Just get one from Kmart. $20. Just get the feel of it and how long to grind and you will have perfect fluffed out weed ---

I should have mentioned, I no longer smoke, but I vaporize. Looking for pretty fine grinding. I might go with the coffee grinder just to see. It’d be worth 20 bucks to see if it works. ---

I have a vaporiser aswell. I got the extreme Q from the states. I use a little hand grinder for that. ---

Do you think the vapour would work better with a finer grind??? ---

I use a Plastic grinder gifted to me from dopefiend, when the members bought me an Iolite. I also bought a small coffee grinder. Advice. Coffee grinders grind fast, so if you do not want to powdeerize your herb…Just a quick zap or 2 on the on button will do the trick ---

I love the coffee grinder. I been using one for years. Best way is to continue goin on and off with the button whilst shaking it. We spin ours out with tobacco over here. I cough too much with it green. Tickles the throat. Me and wife smoke heaps too. Usually average about an ounce and half a week. Insane really. That’s why we growing indoor now. Lol. Can’t wait. 5 weeks to go. ---

I think it would. I also think it would “vapor” up sooner. ---

I use a coffee grinder. Too lazy to chop them up with scissors. Plus, the scissors get all sticky. MT ---
