You're starting to realize that you're not getting as much out of your weed as you could be. Even though the outside of your nugs are getting smoked, there's an elusive inside that always stays green that you can never reach.

It's time to buy a grinder! Our wholesale head shop has a plethora of grinders to choose from. Use this extensive guide to find one that is right for you!

Considerations

Here are some things to think about when you're buying a grinder.

Size

Grinders come in a huge range of sizes- some are designed for travel while others are meant to grind humongous amounts of weed for those epic sessions.

Consider whether you'll be smoking out of a custom bong or wholesale glass pipes. The scope of your session matters!

If you tend to smoke a lot at your friend's house, it might be best to buy a small grinder that can easily fit in your bag or pocket. But if you like to get high as a kite in your room, a large grinder can help take you to new heights.

Material

You could get a wooden or acrylic grinder, but you'll probably be replacing it sooner than you'd like. Even though they're more expensive upfront, a metal grinder will stay with you for years to come if you're willing to cough up a bit of extra cash.

Multiple Pieces

Herb grinders come in single-piece, two-piece, three-piece, or four-piece designs.

Two-piece grinders tend to have the most simple design, but are also less functional than single-piece grinders.

Three-piece grinders include a top, teeth for grinding, and a chamber that the weed falls into. The chamber makes it easy to gather up the processed weed, no matter how high you are.

Four-piece grinders are essentially three-piece grinders with an added pollen screen filter that catches all the fine particles so nothing gets wasted.

Budget

As much as we all want to get the fanciest, most state-of-the-art equipment, our budget always has to be a consideration.

Grinders can get expensive and some stoners forego using them altogether, opting for the more primal finger grind. However, having a grinder can help you get more out of your weed because the finer the weed, the more surface area there is to smoke.

But you don't have to drop a fortune to get a high-quality grinder. Once you decide what you're looking for, you can certainly find something that fits your needs and is within your budget if you do a little research.

Now that you have the basic rundown, it's time to look deeper into some of your options so you can choose one that's right for you.
