Brilliant Cut Grinder

[Ramahs]

I use the medium plate 98% of the time.
I never use the coarse plate.

I only have/use medium plate(large model). Quite happy as-is.
But I might also be okay with a coarse grind plate, especially if it might make grinding marginally easier. Is that your experience, any easier?
I just had a double-procedure wrist and thumb surgery THIS MORNING. WOOT!

I didn’t feel a noticeable difference, but I might if I had a hand injury. I dunno.

Either way, glad to hear that the surgery went ok (I assume it must have if you are typing here). Be careful

Does anyone know, when factory seconds come back?

I heard it was the last Friday of the month.

Medium plate all the time, 3 years now.

They're very responsive if you message them on Instagram

Course plate pretty much exclusively for me. I want as little cutting and as much flavor as possible. I dont mind if I waste a little more material as a result. Trade off is worth it for me

I’ve been switching up med and coarse about 50/50
Sometimes the med is just to bit too fine
Still haven’t cleaned a plate
I rotate 3 regular sized for indica and 1 large model for sativa

What are your thought on the future new flat bottom BCG ?

I won't buy a new one just for that change, but its a welcomed change.

“The Original Brilliant Cut Grinder will soon be phased out of production and a new upgraded version will then be released.

If you love the Original BCG, then grab one while you still can.

PS: The new version will have a flat bottom to the grinder, and only feature the brilliant-cut geometry on the top.”

 

[invertedisdead]

My guess is they decided to reduce the machining time and number of operations rather than increase the price.
(Inflation is a hell of a drug)

Also having the bottom be flat actually makes more practical sense so it doesn't wobble at all on the table, perhaps not feeling as good cupped in your hand, but I feel like that is not the most common way to hold it anyway haha sure saves time and money while no one will see the bottom and you can always tell them apart better now! Still waiting for that steel hybrid model, wonder if it will have flat bottom too...? Also nice that they do 15% off for the sales now instead of 10, bit more than just shipping!

 

[Timps27]

I’m a little confused, maybe because I call the “small” the original. Does this mean the large will continue to have a faceted bottom? Or does original apply to both sizes, meaning all sizes will have a flat bottom?

I think there are pluses to both designs, would be nice to keep both as an option even if it caused a price increase for the original, IMHO.

 

[Grass Yes]

Grabbed a 3rd BCG. The 3 plate large with 15% off was too good to pass up.

 

[whatitdew]

I never liked a flat bottom, just ask my girl

 

[vapviking]

I have sometimes wished that the bottom wasn't facetted like the top. More stable on a surface, and since my BCG is same color top and bottom, it would be easier to see which is which at a glance.
But, it also has a nice feel, the facets all over, and makes the design more distinctive.
Not gonna go nuts over this, as I may already have my grinder for life here...

I wonder if the new style and old will be compatible parts?

 

[Dreadvik]

Bit of lazy research but do I want fine or medium for vapes?

 

[BubbleDrop]

Fine for conduction vapes and medium for convection.
That's the general consensus I think.

 

[Grass Yes]

Bit of lazy research but do I want fine or medium for vapes?

For me, depends on the vape. But if scroll up maybe 10 messages you will see a discussion of the virtues of the 3 plates.

Although, imo, if you are only getting one plate the medium is the way to go. Just grind upside down a bit for a finer grind.

The bottom section of the 4-piece wasn't faceted. It did make it super-easy to tell which end was up, but it didn't feel as nice in the hand.

New version is steel I hope??

No mention of that yet, so there is no reason to hope for that, there is still going to be a steel version, it is just taking longer than expected for them to release it clearly (plan was for the steel interior aluminum outerior version and then an eventual all steel version so at this point they will probably have the flat bottoms when they finally come out)

 

[thunderstealer1337]

Steel imo will reduce their lead times as well, you can only plate so many colors, not like al anodizing - you can make the entire rainbow
