Herb Grinders

[max]

drier bud works better.

For the LB, always. Any significant moisture content and you're not gonna get that real fine grind that works best with that model. It's like trying to crumble fresh bread, vs. a bag of bread crumbs.

 

[timmahsan]

Thanks max.

How bad would it be if I just buy some bud and let it dry in a pollen box? Call it my MFLB stash. Alternatively, I just use my SC 4 pc grinder for my solo with excellent results.

After weeks of struggling with self control, I finally gave in and ordered a SCS. I was thinking Red was going to be the one for me. But no, after further review and much thought, GREEN is the color for me. I even looked up color meanings to help me out. Intense fight. I got me the 4 piece large, and cant wait until it arrives.

I have pently of grinders however not a oversized one.
Leave the KIEF (POLLEN) on the FLOWERS.
Just fluffed up some BUBBA KUSH for the BENDER.
This was the biggest one I could find $35.00!
This is my first two piece!

 

[Live-N-Learn]

Holy crap that's huge LOL

This will be my first ever 4piece, I also have a volcano grinder on the way which will be backup, one day lol

 

[ataxian]

Holy crap that's huge LOL

This was an impulse buy and I did not need it however it does work amazing!

 

[Enchantre]

I was wrong.

I bought the Large SCS, not the Medium.

I must have been stoned.

The more I use this limited edition "satin" finish 2 piece SCS, the more I think it is the perfect shredder for me. Max is right, the 2 piece is the way to go. With no anodized finish to chip or make problems, its also soft and warm to the touch A little grinder grease applied when the unit is clean helps keep it functioning smoothly. Not too many of these left, I just ordered another . . .

Nice Grinder.
I have SPACE CASES because that's what the Smoke Shop Salesperson sold me.
Otherwise I would have got a SANTA CRUZ. They do make a nice grinder.
Sharp Stone and Space Case are much better than a Cheap ones from Overseas.
My Space Cases really fluff the Flowers.
I do like the 2 piece grinders better.
If I want KIEF I'll just buy it.
Just leave the good stuff on the Flowers and enjoy the natural effect.

I've got a 2-piece (4-pieces don't seem like they would last forever) 4" jumbo Santa Cruz Shredder and it's killer. Better than the Space Case ones even (and somehow feels higher quality). Even though it's huge you can put small buds in it but all the same, I liked it enough that I'm going to buy a few more sizes. Busters last forever so why not?

I too like the fact I can grind 0.5 gram and it works fine.
A bigger one is easier to handle for me.

{3.5" Space case; 1.5" Sharper Stone; 2.0" Space Case; 2.25" Chinese}
1.5" Sharp Stone; 2.0" Space Case, 2.25" Chinese (not very good)

I emailed SCS and got a response saying all the grinders are anodized. Even the Satin :/

 

[t-dub]

Ahh . . it doesn't feel finished. Mea culpa . . .

 

[Kief]

Yes, but they are hard anodized or hardcoated. Most of the cheap colored aluminum grinders have a decorative grade anodized coating, as well as many other colored cheap aluminum things made mostly in china. Anodized coatings can vary from being just a thin protective barrier to a thick hardcoat that can be as hard as tool steel. The anodizing on the SCS is definitely not the thin decorative grade, it's actually stronger than bare aluminum and "should" never flake or chip... you have a limited lifetime warranty if it does. What we have on the Santa Cruz Shredders is what I believe to be the best hard anodized coating available on a grinder today... Yes the Space Case Ti also has a superior coating, but in my opinion the SCS is just a small step above. Anyone want to grind some concrete to compare durability?

 

[Vitolo]

I have found no flaking of any type or wear for that matter on my "plain old anadized" SCS.
Anodizing is done directly ONTO that metal.
Beware the phrase "anodized coating" ... which could imply a thin caoting which is then anodized, .. this means it can and likely will flake.
The space case Ti.... is actually a coating
I do not care for it, and my review and reasons is in this thread a ways back.
My Space Case Ti actually flaked.
I found that the titanium coating is added to a regular space case, making the space case snugger, and less free turning.
I love space case (I like SCS even more), but I got a Refund for my Space Case Ti.
I have put the SCS through hell, and there is no color gone yet from it's anodized body.

 

[Pseudonymous]

I'm not sure what the glossy regular finishes on the SCS are like (will know soon, ordered lots) but my 4" jumbo has a smooth non-glossy finish and I think I prefer it. Seems like it's easier to keep looking nice for a longer amount of time. My regular finish Space Case looked insanely shiny and perfect at first and while it still looks great, it got a bit dirty and imperfect pretty quickly. My standards are really high though.

Green Santa Cruz Shredder on DECK.
Thanks peepz for making me fiend for another thing to the point where I had to buy it.

BTW: What is the little triangle pick thing for ?

 

[Enchantre]

The triangle thing is your pollen squeegie..

 

[Live-N-Learn]

Thanks for the name. How do I use it exactly??

 

[Enchantre]

In the bottom section of your new shredder, you will find pollen collecting after you've done a few batches. You can squeegie it out for use. Put it with your herb to vape, save and compress into kief -- pressed kief? -- or, you could just lick it out of there (but I think it needs heat to be activated...).

I haven't decided what to do with mine.

 

[Live-N-Learn]

LMAO @ Lick.

I will now be exploring into the realm of kief. Yay me.

IDK what to do with it either. =\

Just top your next bowl with it I usually just collect in a glass jar for that purpose. Sometimes I vape it on its own. If you have alot, you can even make hash capsules.

 

[Live-N-Learn]

I seen those hash capsules, those are very interesting!

I will be shredding like never before tonight. I'll post a video this evening of my first shred!
Is there a quick tutorial on how to make the capsules?

 

[b0]

My scs didn't have a "squeegie"
