Just got this bad boy and I love it! I was using the BCG fine plate / Lift / Volcano duster before this. This is not a portable..I vape in my house the vast majority of the time through the Flowerpot, Supreme V6, Vape Exhale, Tinymight, and Volcano Hybrid. The grind is medium (reminds me of the Santa Cruz?) but that thing is rock solid and turns as easy as the Lift and grinds faster IMO. My fiance had no interest in using the BCG, but she grinded her first bowl in year last night :) I prefer the heft and size and I can see it sitting next to the Alpha Dog I have on order.

@Black_Prrl has recommended the Hemson pipe for their Neo, and I can confirm it is a quality piece. The packaging is unreal as well..feels like you are opening up some Beats headphones...

I have a flower mill by crown and haven't really used any of my other grinders since. It's extremely easy to mill the flower, it's not like grinding at all. As long as you don't overload it only takes seconds to grind and it's super easy with hardly any resistance at all.

Thanks Kins! We really appreciate the feedback. (Both good, and bad) Most people say the same thing to us; tell us they can't use their old grinders anymore, and I certainly feel the same way. I'm biased of course, but I'm saying that as a consumer.

Oh, and I'm John from Flower Mill. One of the initial 4 who designed it. I'll try and get on here as much as possible to answer any questions. :)

Just to follow up, their new site is now up and running. $99.95 for 4pc and $89.95 for 3pc. The old url doesn’t appear to redirect.


Correct! Sorry for the confusion... we all learned that we're better at making grinders than naming them!

Welcome to FC! Very nice looking product you have here, you may want to start a dedicated thread for it as well, for your brand, should you have future products too! :tup:

Edit: also for anyone interested, looks like they have $10 off today! So free shipping

@FlowerMillJohn welcome to the forum. I've been intrigued by your grinder for some time and I was wondering the following. I like a coarse grind with as less as possible smaller particles in the end result. Would you advise a 4-piece so the screen can filter out the smallest particles? Or does using a 3-piece result in such an even consistency that won't be necessary?

Also I noticed shipping to the Netherlands is like 55$. I was actually hoping that is an error, as it seems kind of high. But if it's the actual price, do you have any plans on stocking EU vendors?

Reporting back for herb grinder duty :lol:. My new herb grinder is still excellent (posted before). I've been cleaning it regularly now... and that's been good. I find it's much easier to keep clean than the mess it is once a grinder becomes gummed up 🤪. Here's a picture from today :)👍.

I went from a space case 4 piece to a brilliant cut 3 piece but was wondering if anyone had tried out the Push Trees grinder sometimes seen on Dope as Yola. Seeing it has his logo I figured their review might be a bit biased.

I have been using the SLx V2.5 a bit lately mainly because it cost me real money, not a freebie but I have reverted to my Space Case, the SLX is just too small, I don't like having to break up buds before dropping into my grinder,

No smack talk about my crap gear, I had a few bad crops in a row. :tup:

Report expected, and looked forward to with anticipation.

So far so good for the first grind! It was super smooth and easy to turn, as well as thorough... Also the quarter threading is very effective, all around great hand feel as I said!

Small nugs I broke off of some larger ones of this this dense sticky snickerdoodle (a hybrid of cookies n cream and juicy fruit) So far so great in the tinymight! More to come...

Nice! I'm excited too see how it compares to your BCG for grind consistency. .

Hmm that is going to be tough to do, I typically start grinding in my BCGs upside down for consistency, and more so if I want to fine grind for conduction vapes... So off the bat the FM seems simpler for me to get a consistent grind. It was also far easier to turn, with moist dense nugs like this, though this is brand new of course! TBD

@Shit Snacks, which FM grinding plate did you get?

There is only one choice of plate in the FM, the plate it comes with. There is a set of three different sized fine plates as well. They sent me one of these fine plates, I believe the most coarse fine plate in the set? I have not tried it yet, but will at some point... (the other option with the FM, is to get the standard edition where the plate cannot be removed at all, the premium edition is the one where the plate can be removed and swapped for one of the three fine plates or any other plates they might offer in the future)

which BCG grinding plate would you say the FM equates to? IIRC, you have the BCG fine & med plates.

See above, I'm not sure I can really compare them that way for you... Yep I have a fine plate BCG and a medium plate BCG, just from my first use the FM just seems different from either of them really?

The bud has a purplish hue (or perhaps that's what my mind's eye wants me to see).
I am curious....
Am I correct in assuming that the grind is achieved completely in a shaving fashion?
Those familiar with the 1st wooden MFLB Finishing grinder will have a point of reference.
Also... is it spring loaded.. for varying pressure or constant?

I'm not so sure about the purple, but you know with this plant it's usually got everything going on all at once! Fortunately I do have a wide variety now to test... Starting with the freshest and moistest!

Correct and constant! No spring that I can tell, check out the product thread, one of the creators is active here and will know more about the design specifics ofcourse!
Oh and I actually have a MFLB finishing grinder I got free from vapornation I think, used it once and did not really enjoy it, this is more involved and much nicer honestly!
