Why does everyone have so many grinders? Theyre not cheap.... You can buy weed and vapes with that money lol!
Seriously though, why have more than one decent grinder in use?
1. I recently became fascinated/obsessed with grinders, and I also have a very analytical personality. I analyze. It's what I do.
2. Having lost a lot of function, strength, and coordination in my hands, certain sized grinders and my hands don't get along very well, and I wanted to figure out which sizes are best for me. For example, the large SCS 4-piece probably feels much bigger to me than it does to most people, which makes its 2.75" diameter just a little awkward for me. Since that grinder was my first high-end grinder, after using two really cheap generic grinders for the previous year and a half, there's no way I could've known grinder size may be so important to me until after I tried a few different sizes. Consequently, I've been trying a lot of different sizes, with different teeth shape/arrangement and various number of pieces (2-piece, 4-piece, 5-piece, etc).
3. Just about any grinder will do the job, but certain grinders make the job much more enjoyable. I've been trying to find out which grinders are most enjoyable to me.
4. I lay around on the couch most of the time because my entire body pretty much quit on me. I don't go anywhere. I don't socialize. I don't move much. I don't have much of anything to occupy my time, which gets really fucking boring after a few years. Playing with grinders and reading hundreds of pages about grinders kind of gives me something to do (even if there's nothing in the grinder).
5. I guess I have some kind of drive to always be learning about something.
6. I think I mentioned this in an earlier post, but sitting on my couch and playing with the grinder is kind of like physical therapy for my hands. I'm willing to bet there's a very well-known physical therapy exercise that's very similar to turning a weed grinder over and over. I gotta believe playing with grinders can really work your wrists and finger muscles [if you got none].
7. I hadn't bought anything nice for myself for a long time (except weed) until a month ago, so I decided to treat myself to six high-end/upper mid-range grinders (so far), a couple cheap grinders, and a good vaporizer. I'm willing to bet there's at least one more grinder buy in me, plus freebies like the one I'm getting with my vaporizer. I have still never vaped, nor have I ever seen a vaporizer in person. (My AroMed left LA yesterday, bound for Ohio.)
8. I don't have the option to try out my friends' grinders because I pretty much have no friends or social life. (When you get permanently sick/disabled and kinda need someone to shine as a friend, pretty much all "friends" disappear.)
9. Until you've used a really good grinder, you just don't know. It sounds like you don't know yet, which I can't help you with. The only way to know is by going out to the internet and grabbing yourself a really nice, expensive grinder.
10. God damn they're so pretty.
11. I'm kind of tiring of 4-piece grinders not really giving me the fine grind consistency I like, and I'm tired of gunking up grinders by using them upside down. Consequently, I am beginning to mess around with 2-piece grinders, then transferring from a 2-piece to a 4-piece and using the 4-piece as a storage container and sifter.
12. I don't feel like any of my current grinders has the screen I'm looking for in a sifter. I at least want to
try a grinder with a really fine screen, in hopes of ending up with a lot less green in my kief. Haven't found it yet.
Good question. I bet I have even more answers.
