Brilliant Cut Grinder

Unfortunately mine won’t stay in place. Always stays attached to the bottom chamber every time I take it off.

Gonna switch to a cheap S&B 2 piece in the meantime. Looks like bits of that dried glue could flake off in to the bud.

Maybe contact BCG customer service if you are worried

Guessing that it will need to be re-secured not just from the bottom, but around the circumference, as well. Otherwise, it'll continue to pull out after use.

Wondering if an epoxy (e.g.; JB Weld) would be effective (and non-toxic, of course). Ensure that it doesn't bleed out of the top edge, when reassembling.

IIRC, the original JB Weld is gas / oil resistant. Which might bode well for isopropyl, as well (if you continue to soak, but I wouldn't, personally--a simple wipe down should be sufficient, IMO.)

Just a quick thought. Do your research before using, of course.

Just in case anyone is curious the large stainless steel BCG can be used to open a coconut in an emergency.

I had another "does your SS BCG do this too?" question for anyone please: does your grind plate wobble a bit/have some back and forth give with the bottom storage? The video (especially with sound) below shows what I'm referring to. I don't recall this happening with my regular BCG, and I notice it while grinding (as the grind plate moves with the top). I end up having to hold the grind plate while turning the top plate.

Shout out to BCG for their excellent customer service. The magnet came out of my grind plate, so I immediately pushed it back in, but with the wrong polarity! I tried a lot of methods but couldn't get it back out, so BCG is sending a replacement plate in the same color.

there's a reason it does not bind up when packed with sticky buds

Gotcha. So you're saying if it was a tight fit, it could risk getting stuck/seized up at the connection point, right? Makes sense if so. And in turn, this is how all BCGs are here then, correct (i.e. this is by design)? I ask as I don't recall my previous (standard, aluminum) BCG having this "give" but I may just be misremembering.

My large Al. BCG has no play like that in the lower portion. There is some side-play in the top of the grinder section.

Thanks. That’s what I recalled re: the aluminum one I had previously too (never noticed the annoying back and forth while grinding). I ended up emailing GFL.

Update: I cleaned the grinder today and, de-gunked, there is just a wee bit of "backlash", sort of a rotational play.

mine are factory 2nds so that could be something beyond cosmetic?
small has less travel/play
