Right now I have a Santa Cruz shredder for my thc and then a shitty one for my CBD and CBG. I ordered a brilliant cut to use for my CBD and CBG. Taking a while to get here tho

I just have a standard cheap plastic grinder. I’ve owned many grinders over the years and I am sceptical about spending big money on one. Maybe this thread will convince me otherwise!
I really recommend high quality ones. Not only do you get a nicer grind but you can customize the grind you want like on the brilliant cut and they feel 10000% better to use along with lasting forever
I do believe the grind and build quality will be better but I’m just not sure how much it will enhance my vaping experience relative to value for money. Maybe I should just drop the cash and find out!
It may not make your vaping experience better, but man does it make grinding way easier. I tend to grind up at least 2 or 3 grams at a time as a heavy user,I can do all that at one time with the bcg large and it’s easy (compared to all the other grinders I’ve used). Feels nice, looks nice, I end up just playing with it half the time.
I would just get a regular sized one that’s factory seconds, those are like 30% off cause you can’t pick color and they might have a cosmetic defect, I can’t even tell why mine was factory seconds tho.

I’ve got pretty finely tuned taste buds and the difference in taste and harshness between a good and a shitty grinder is pretty substantial imo. If you consume weed daily or at least very regularly, it’s worth the investment imo, especially if you factor in that a good grinder will last you decades. If you just toke every now and then, probably not worth it.
It depends entirely on the device you’re using. Higher quality grinders tend to use stronger steel metal which holds a “blade” longer so it actually cuts the herb as opposed to simply smushing/tearing the herb.
Over time the cheap grinders wear out, and the really cheap ones start flaking metal or paint into the ground up herb which you really don’t want to smoke.
Additionally there are different types of grind. A fine grind is great for conduction style vaporizers (like the Pax) where the oven heats up and the heat is physically transferred through the load of herb. Fine grinds help for cloud chasing and a more thorough extraction.
For other vaporizers like convection style desktops, a loose fluffy grind like the Santa Cruz Shredder or the Brilliant Cut grinder (with a coarse or medium grind plate) help produce fluffier grinds that help enhance the vapor flavor during conduction extraction.
