What do you guys think about these 2? I'm looking for a 40-50mm grinder.

Not really sure if anodized really matters, but the Titan looks a little better, not counting the ugly Titan branding. I was also looking at this one from GotVape, but from some reviews online regarding their service, it seems like they are not people I want to deal with (unless you guys think otherwise).

In reality, I'd like to get the gotvape one cause it's unbranded and I can choose the color. But I'm still hesitant regarding their customer service and it is on the pricey side (>$30 after shipping). Let me know, Thanks!

Titan grinders are very nice. I have the 4pcs 50cmm model. if you go back a page, i posted some pics. Anodized means that the aluminum was chemically treated to make it much more durable. It turned out to be the perfect single sesh nug grinder. Also Kelly, the vendor said if I don't like the grinder for any reason I could send it back. the finish is really nice too. Don't have to worry about prints.

Also guys...I've been using a crappy 2pc for a long time...I want to venture into 4pc but i would be happy just upgrading my 2pc to the space case titanium since i can get it for cheap from a friend. what are the pros and cons of having a 4pc? Not really sure if I want to go for a 4piece of not although I've been doing way too much research on it.

Hey SmokingE, how's that Titan holding up? Might grab one for fun. I like the finish. What can I say? I collect all kinds of stuff too.

i been using it alot more than i thought i would. thinking about getting the 3inch next. non-aluminum chromium crushers are still my favorite. they stay sharp MUCH longer than aluminum grinders.

^^^ Seems the new (2011) Chromium Crushers are made from aluminum (according to an ebay dealer claiming they have the latest authorized version) 
Lot's of these grinders seem to be going through changes. Lot's of imitators out there, but real deals are hard to find. MNB, CC, Trueblendz and others are either hard to find or unavailable/out of stock when I search. Trueblendz seems to have moved manufacturing to USA and changed design. I could only find one place that had the new ones in stock. They also had old stock available at a discount. MNB, sad to say, is well documented as having been bought out. Many posts of unhappy people either getting inferior product when they order or getting nothing at all. Space Case and Mendo still seem to be going strong

yes. those are aluminum chromium crushers. they used to come in colors. can't vouch for the aluminum crushers. but the non-aluminum ones are tough as hell. the teeth on all 3 of my crushers show no signs of wear yet. SC are nice too. i have a 2 pcs 3 inch titanium or black as they are now referred to as. wonder why they changed the name and description?

Grain of salt warning...
NYC, I don't know if this is true but I read a post somewhere saying the color differences was due to earlier SC Ti being cured at a lower temp. Supposedly the newer ones are all being cured at a higher temp causing the darker color.

from what i heard [pretty sure i read this here somewhere too.] that the SC Ti is titanium coated. i know for a fact it's not solid titanium and it's not an alloy blend.
@Nyc. my 3 inch SC Ti is jet black. you said yours is more gray? any chance you could throw up a comparison pic please? ty

I've got a question regarding the Sharp Crushers being sold. I know they are basically the Chromium Crushers, but I was wondering what the Black coloring is. Is it just paint? Also, is there a big upgrade of the non-aluminum alloy Sharp Crusher over the regular aluminum one?

sharp crushers are aluminum. not sure if its paint or what. the metal in the non aluminum chromium is an steel/zinc alloy blend. extra heavy. extra durable. they stay sharp much longer than any aluminum grinder i have owned.

I've had both versions of the CC (heavy zinc/steel alloy and aluminum [apparently no longer available]), and an aluminum Sharp Crusher, and although they may be made by the same company, all three are different.schwann said:
Unless you like a really heavy grinder, for some reason, there's no reason to get the alloy version of the Sharp Crusher. You can't beat aluminum for light weight and strength. I'd stay away from colored grinders. Anodizing doesn't produce a black, red, blue, etc. color, and it's likely to get scratched up. They've raised the prices a little, but the plain aluminum Sharp Crusher is still under $20 delivered, and the best buy of the bunch.
That's not my experience. If it were significantly better, I think we'd have seen more manufacturers going to it. I think it's more of a gimmick than better technology.

[NOTE: This is not a bashing post. Just pure facts and science done for my personal pleasure and understanding]
2 grinders. 1 made from aluminum. 1 made from alloy. Both were used under the same conditions. [freezer/quarter] Roughly around 6 ounces went through each one.
Chromium Crusher & Diamond Grind grinders
Non-Aluminum Chromium Crusher. Purchased for $30 online.
Diamond Grind Aluminum Grinder. Purchased for $45 at a local headshop.
You can clearly see there is much more wear and tear on the teeth of the DG. The CC teeth look "almost" as good as when i got it. Same goes for the outer surface of the grinders. Dc looks very scuffed. The CC, a little bit but nowhere near as much. Does one, do the job better than the other? No. Does one outlast the other. Looks that way.
I plan on doing this with a space case black 4pcs & chromium crusher. Just got a brand new CC, so there is still time to get a SCTi

the diamond grind and sharp crushers are both made from CNC'd aluminum. most likely the results will be the same.
