Brilliant Cut Grinder

[delta hotel]

Can’t wait for the Stainless preorder, I was beginning to doubt it was actually going to happen!.

I ALMOST ordered an aluminum so many times recently and gave up waiting on the stainless. I'll be first in line for the stainless preorder.

I wonder how long until they release colored versions

yeah I couldn’t wait that long, I have 4 aluminums lol. Was about to buy a large Ripper tho for the Stainless fix .

SS brilliant preorder is up! Ordered mine.

SS brilliant preorder is up! Ordered mine.

I was just looking last night too! I've waited all this time to finally order a BCG, but I'm not sure I need all 3 plates right now (other expenses, Christmas, etc.). I'm weighing getting all 3, but I'm thinking if I had just the medium for now it'd suffice fine too. The medium is good enough for most tasks, right? I mainly use an Anvil, FlowerPot, or Firewood7.

 

[Steel28]

I got medium as well. I have all 3 plates and been using medium the most anyways.

I'm happy enough with 1 medium plate, though I'm getting a large soon to help make bigger grind sessions go a little quicker.
Interesting they've picked a 'tween size (2.2" dia.) for the SS... edited-- see below!
@webtroter
Ha! Sorry, I never checked, assumed the std was smaller...

Is it ?

Cause the OG BCG is a 2.2in grinder

Now to decide between matte or polished.

no brainer lol

With the one plate it's very reasonably priced, I had expected it to be higher. I'll hold off until I receive my aluminum one to see how I like it and the plates.

Wish it came in the large size!!!!

Wonder if the matte version polished on the inside? Or matte in the storage chamber also?

Looks like they blasted the inside as well.

Looks nice! I dig the polished finish, but I’ll probably end up swinging for the matte. I haven’t had my Al for very long though, so I think I will wait for colors and a 420 sale!

I placed my order for a stainless steel, polished, with a medium plate this morning .

I considered a full setup but I already have that for my aluminum in the same size and I rarely use the coarse or fine plates. The medium plate is the goldilocks of plates imo and it works perfectly for all my vapes. If anyone is on the fence about choosing one plate I highly recommend the medium. The progression from fine to medium to coarse is really even though, so you can't go wrong with one over the other if that's your preference.

Regarding polished or matte finishes I think that comes down to how OCD you are about keeping the finish looking pristine. The matte will look brand new for years to come where as the polished is going to develop micro scratches even if you baby it. It's just so damn pretty .

It's not though, because I'm still waffling! I'm leaning polished though, my stainless UMG is matte.

 

[Grass Yes]

I really don't like the way the new flat bottom looks.

They mentioned on Instagram that they may do a special edition with a brilliant cut bottom piece too. I think I will wait for that because I have my 3 other BCGs to tide me over.

 

[Steel28]

I actually like flat bottom compare to my other BCG. More stable

Since I grind by holding it in my hand, I like the feel of how the brilliant cut fits in my hand. Also that bottom looks kinda ugly, NGL.

I totally understand why they did that change as a cost-cutting measure. If I did not have a BCG or if I were one of those people who has weird ideas about aluminum, I would totally preorder one.

I want the matte, polished outside is gonna scratch up quickly, but wish the storage bowl was polished.

 

[babaganush]

Do yall think the inside of the matte one is gonna cause any issues with buildup or make it harder to clean because of the texture?

 

[oldfool]

It just dawned on me, it closes with the standard magnet.
Weren't we expecting this to be threaded?

 

[Shit Snacks]

They had been saying that the steel one would be 2.5 inch, which would put it between the 2.2 standard and the 2.75 large, I was looking forward to that, oh well maybe in the future (agreed about the unfortunate flat bottom, I need polished despite scratch)

 

[babaganush]

That's what I was thinking.

I noticed that the Herb Ripper grinder is also matted steel, so I assume its a non issue at this point (I dont have one to truly know). How comparable will the matte be to the polished one however? No idea.
