Please give us a review when you've had a chance to try it! Thanks!!!Hahaha, Oh the joys of ordering from abroad
I was able to pick up my Compton grinder from the local delivery office today...
But ordering through Massdrop has ended up costing me way over the UK price
Total price = £52.85
£30.81 to Massdrop
£22.04 to HMRC
I'm sure I've said it before, but never again lol
I'd still like to get a Santa Cruz Shredder too.
I wish we had deals over here like you guys get in the U.S.
There's not a lot to say really and I don't have much to compare it to apart from an old cheap 5-piece silver Pollen Blitz it's replacing and the Compton is of a much higher quality.Please give us a review when you've had a chance to try it! Thanks!!!
I need to buy a new grinder and need some advice .
I think it comes down to the SCS and the Space Case . Maybe .
I mainly need to know which is the easiest to use as I have bad problems with my hands .
I have been using the free grinder from PIU and its not bad . But I would like to upgrade .
And any sales or discounts would be great as well .
The mendo mulchers have been singled out in this forum as having a particularly good grip, and reportedly they mulch/shred/grind/whatever pretty good too. Maybe search this thread for testimonials.
I was into mendos but I prefer grinders with an anodized finish. This not to just make them pretty the coating also keeps black aluminum smudges from getting all over your hands. If you use a mendo just make sure you look in the mirror before you head out so you can wash the black smears off your hands and face from using it.
I've just started using my Compton. It is VERY heavy and large compared to the same size SCS. I'm not sure I like it. Because of the weight it's also harder on my hands when I grind. My other grinders are the 3 piece SCS and 4 piece from PIU. I need more time with the Compton but I think I prefer those.There's not a lot to say really and I don't have much to compare it to apart from an old cheap 5-piece silver Pollen Blitz it's replacing and the Compton is of a much higher quality.
Is there anything in particular you wanted to know?
I'll do my best and hopefully I don't miss anything...
I really like the grips on the top and bottom.
It's well made with good tolerances and no obvious flaws or scratches.
The top turns very smoothly and the magnets are nice and strong and hold it together well.
The teeth are sharp, diamond shaped, and chop through stems with ease. The grind is finer than the pictures above in the Santa Cruz (my bud is nice and slightly crisp right now though and barely needs grinding anyway so that may make a difference).
I checked the kief screen from the Compton Grinder under the mic in work and it measures 250 microns which is larger than the fine screen in my old grinder so I may look at getting a finer one at some point.
Overall it's a very nice grinder (not worth £50+ though lol )
I wonder what those Kannastor Vape GR8TR ones are like....
[edit]
Having the loading area is actually pretty good..
If you use it as intended, you're not overloading the grinder and little round pieces don't just fall straight though the holes.
Oh, and I love the colour
Please tell me the SCS is a nice step up from the PIU.I've just started using my Compton. It is VERY heavy and large compared to the same size SCS. I'm not sure I like it.

I actually like both. But I prefer the 3 piece and the SCS is smoother at turning. Also the ground herb from the SCS have a nice fluffy texture. I don't think you'll regret buying the SCS- depending on the cost. I bought mine from Amazon.Please tell me the SCS is a nice step up from the PIU.
How many of you only use your grinder right side up?
I always go upside-down and fine.
I was just checking out the Mendo . They are not as easy to get .
And @Odyssey I was also looking at the 3 piece SCS .
Both look good can't decide ........
Thanks for the tips !
