@Winegums, what grinder(s) do you use?
I almost exclusively use my GR8TR Vape now that I have a fine and coarse plate. I used a small 4 pc Space Case Ti for 3 years solid (during my combustion days) before I got my GR8TR. The Space Case is all but relegated to being a sifting device when I fancy some kief.

Like Ramahs said, it's very consistent no matter how little or much you put in. Just gently twist applying a tiny amount of pressure. it's almost magical how it pulls apart a nug if you do a slight twist then take a peek. I've done this a few times to observe how the tooth design is working. The teeth act like picks that pull at first then start to cut as they reach the point that they can mesh. It was awesome to discover that the design has two distinct mechanical actions that includes a transitional phase. Most grinders are single phase interlocked teeth that are always meshed. It's a very well sorted and engineered design that isn't really replicated anywhere else on the market.

I honestly don't like Kannastor for their poor support of this design but love it so much that I can't help but rave about it. :shrug:

@Winegums, thanks! How coarse is the coarse grind? I don't like a fine grind, I prefer a coarse grind. Right now I have a grinder from Amazon that does a good job of medium coarse. It's an anodized no name & for the several years that I've had it there has been no denigration of the finish. Just hate the # of turn to open & close.

So the GR8TR v2 comes with both course and fine plates? Gotta admit I'm interested, but doesn't appear they have any 4/20 sale going on.

Edit: Got a hot tip from the 420 sale thread - www.ryot.com (sells kannastor) has 42% off today. Got a GR8TR v2 for $43.50.

@InterplanetaryTanner hooked me up with the coarse plate I have for my GR8TR Vape so I can't say for sure what the OE Kannastor plate will do. It makes for a pretty consistent medium-fine grind which my Herbalizer seems to love because it improves air flow.

Left is the Fine plate, Right is the Coarse plate

Got a Santa Cruz Shredder Medium 3 piece , from PIU, on their 420 sale. First time paying for a grinder. I have been using the free grinders that came with the purchases of some vapes over the last few years. Recently the old grinder wasnt performing very well, even after cleaning. The VAS was strong . I decided I didn't need the 4 piece, so I saved a little money that way. It has a nice quality feel to it, all the bud easily falls to the lower section with just a few spins, the magnet is in the middle section, with a silicone (?) ring in the cap. My other grinders have the magnet in the top section and required 2x-3x more twists. The grind is not too fine nor too coarse. I am satisfied! :peace::leaf:;pd;:leaf::peace:

Couldn't resist 42% off from RYOT so picked up GR8TR v2 on 4/20. New design seems pretty good - definitely more ergonomic and plates are way easier to swap. Nice that it came with both fine and medium plates. Can't comment on performance yet, but here are some comparison pics:

Same size. Old branding was better IMO.

A bit more storage.

Same teeth, but mirrored. Magnet has changed.

Well...just added another grinder to my collection.
I decided to order a SWII, as long as their 4/20 sale was still going on. Didn't want to pass up on getting one for ~$30.
Looking forward to it. They were out of the black, and I came very close to getting a pink one, because why not? But, I ended up going with the gold one.

I went for a gold SW2 and I'm very happy with it. Had it for well over 6 months now and it's still shiny.

@InterplanetaryTanner hows the SW3 coming along? Any news?

Is a toothbrush and iso a good way to clean grinder screens?
Hey bud, yeah I use ISO and a kid's toothbrush, I think the softer bristles are a wise precaution, especially if it's a pricy grinder. I also use soft paintbrushes if a toothbrush isn't to hand. Just brush lightly with the ISO and rinse thoroughly with warmish water afterwards and it will be as good as new.

I just wanted to give a shoutout to @InterplanetaryTanner and Interplanetary Development in general.

I ordered a Super Weapon II at about 10:30pm last night, from their website, and received the shipment confirmation from them a few minutes after 10:00am this morning. So, basically they shipped my order within approximately one to three business hours after I placed the order via their web-store. I'm impressed :love:

I am looking for a small SCS 3-piece but they only have the 4-piece in stock. After contacting them I do not think the small 3 piece will be in stock any time soon. Anyone have any experiencing with removing the screen from a 4 piece? Does the inside of the bottom piece sit flush with the inside of the piece that holds the screen?
