Grinder for vapes- how fine?

[ytb_sun]

Should you grind it to almost dust? Even for Spacecase I don't really seem to get a really fine, dusty texture. I'm considering using a coffee grinder or grate.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

What kind of vaporizer are you using? Some vapes seem to work best with a very fine grind such as the MFLB. Others work best with just a moderate grind and there are others that require no grinding at all. I think you definitely don't want to grind it into a dust though.

The MFLB. My grinder doesn't get nearly as fine as what I've seen from MF's Finishing Grinder.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Ok then you definitely want it to be as fine as possible. For the MFlb I grind and then get a pair of scissors and chop it finer. To avoid combusting with the MFlb one of the things that will help is a very fine grind.

A few spins on a $20 whirly blade coffee grinder after running your flowers through the spacecase will give you a very fine grind for the mflb.

Or you can just throw the nugs in the coffee grinder to begin with like I do

Santa Cruz Shredder is the best grinder I've tried.

I love my Sanata Cruz Shredder, but for a really fine grind, the under $10 Volcano grinder is great.

That being said, it all depends on the vape. Some need finer than others...one can even take a whole nug.

Like you say it really does depend on the vape.

I have SPACE CASES and they work really well.
However I will get a 2" SANTA CRUZ SHEDDER to try out and see what I'm missing?

For a really fine grind- like you'd want for the LB- it makes no difference what you use for a grinder unless your herb is really dry. You want it dry enough so that it easily grinds to a powdery consistency. With the herb nice and dry, any 2 piece grinder from 30mm to 50mm will do a bang up job of giving you a good grind for the MF box. For other vapes I don't like grinding to a very fine consistency, but the LB is a different animal and loves that fine grind.

If I have a coarse grind and my MFLB I just overfill the trench a little , Take two hits dump the herb in the palm of my hand and crush it with my index finger . You can't grind it any finer .

This way the herb in my JyARz is ready for what ever vape I decide to use on any givin' day .

Works for me .

My hands don't work well any more, so I use a $15 Proctor-Silex coffee/spice electric grinder. You can make it as fine as you like by holding the button longer..Works great for me..I have several other grinders, including a large Space Case,but I prefer the electric grinder because of ease of use and texture control.

Thanks Max.
All this time my grind has been too course for the MFLB.
User error!

I have an electric grinder that I used to use when I made edibles more frequently & it it does work very well. I just found it to cumbersome to grind up smaller amounts but I also don't have to worry about my hands.

For the OP, if your herb isn't too dry to start with you can try grinding it the night before & let it sit out to dry a little more then the next day grind it again once it is a little dryer. If you have a 4-piece grinder you can just hold it upside down while you grind so it doesn't fall back through the holes before being thoroughly ground.

I Like to grind it pretty fine. But not so fine that it falls through or clogs the screen.

If I see little green bits floating in my bubbler I know i've gone too far.

Dude, don't buy another grinder. Unless you have a 4 piece space case grinder, just continue to grind your herb for a good five minutes or so and trust me, it will get it to sand like material. And if it's a 4 piece, turn it upside down.

I have a space case medium two piecd and I like my grind fine. I usually grind for five minutes and it comes out to the same consistency (sand like) as long as I fill the grinder enough.

 

[Vaponly]

Even for Spacecase I don't really seem to get a really fine, dusty texture.

I find that in order to get the grind really fine you have to fill the grinding compartment all the way. Filling it half way gives me a courser grind no matter how much time I spend twisting and tapping.

Also as stated above.
If using a four piece grinder, be sure to use it upside down until you reach the desired consistency.

Dryer material will grind finer much easier, faster. I removed the rubber from my jar lid, that helped. I use scissors and my grind is done in a couple movements.

Thanks guys! Flipping the grinder upside down and grinding it for a few minutes has worked well. No need to buy more expensive grinders. Pretty darn fine for my MFLB.
