We probably all know that buds give you sticky fingers. But there are more reasons for not touching your herbs with your fingers. The goo contains a lot of the plants' cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Not something you want to waste. So if you're not using a grinder yet, it's time to start!

Grinders come in different models. In our latest YouTube video, we show you a few of our models and the difference between them. The buds used in the video are from Cannabislight.se, a Swedish supplier of CBD buds contains less than 0.2% THC, in praxis with Swedish and European law.

A few representative products:

THE NUMBER OF PARTS
Most grinders have either two or four parts. The advantage of the 2-part grinder is that it's often small and easy to bring with you. The 4-part grinders give you the chance to separate the kief, allowing you to save "the best" for last.

MATERIAL
Metal grinders are often robust and long-lasting with heavy-set teeth. Wood gives off a softer feel, but combined with metal teeth keeps its efficiency. No surprise that metal is stronger than acrylic, but the acrylic grinders have the advantage of being lighter and not as expensive.

THE LITTLE EXTRA
There's of course grinder with something little extra, like also being an ashtray, or having room for a lighter, or extra storage.

The grinders we have brought up today are manually operated. We also have electrical models, like OTTO Grinder and Chewy, that do the grinding for you. But we will tell you more about those in a future note. Until then: keep on grinding!

 

See you in the mist...
