@LesPlenty did u post up here about the 'Qubus' grinder yet? Seems these high price point threadless grinders are gaining more traction. Looks interesting.

Do you think that the Potent crush grinding patent similar with the groove/honeypuff grinder?
Possibly. Definitely seems like it would give different results than a traditional grinder anyway.

truth is, frogs were gay from the start.

Ever try the Groove grinder? I believe Aerospaced makes it. Looks a bit like that but the channels do not have holes. I hate the one I have personally, herb gets packed into the channels in a huge chunk and isn't ground up/doesn't fall into the chamber.
I also liked a lot of the other features of the grinder, just too coarse a grind for me... @Summer would like it

Sheer speculation.
I like a very coarse grind not a coarse"r" grind. Apart from the xtra-coarse BCG grinding plate, the only grinder that seems to fit the bill is the Lift.

Is there a significant difference between your preferred grind and breaking the bud up by hand? Serious question.Sheer speculation.

I just got the SLX 2.5 (2.4”) in green. It is beautiful. I got it from Puffitup. Great service!! I watched Troy’s video on grinders and felt the SLX was what I needed. I have arthritis and tendonitis, very hard in the hands. This seems to cover all my concerns. I will see how it goes and come back with a review. Have a great day everyone!! Kudos to Randy and the gang at Puffitup, especially Erik, who packed up my parcel.

Agree, much smaller than I expected too. If Puffitup had a large SCS 3-piece, I'd probably exchange. My tolerance is so low these days though, I can definitely live with the medium. Super awesome customer service from Puffitup though -- would definitely order something from them again.
I use my purple V2.5 version as a trinket tray, too small a unit and too fine a grind for me.
My first one got replaced under warranty due to qtips coming out purple when I cleaned it...the replacement is just the same so I gave up and started looking at S/S grinders instead, still looking!

I used these in multiple colors for different strains. IMO these are a very good value. https://www.amazon.com/Chromium-Cru...qid=1601022612&sprefix=chromiu,aps,338&sr=8-7

I meant to come back to this as I had to double check both my XL's which are definitely ¼ turn. I thought someone else mentioned 1/2 turn but I can't find the comment. Is your HR the regular sized one? Seems very odd to me, maybe a manufacturing mix up but ai doubt that.

I own a Mini so that might explain the difference.

I recently picked up a new toothless grinder from Flower Mill USA (Formerly Roiel Health). I’m not sure if they still call it a Crown grinder as it has a new look.
Their website showed it out of stock at the time, so I made an inquiry and it turned out they had some of the new ones available. They offered me a $20 discount code (FlowerMill) to reflect their new price which is now $99.95. I was told that they will soon be updating their site with the new branding and pricing.
I’m really enjoying it so far. I am losing strength in my grinding hand and this thing is almost effortless, it helps me a lot. I have a shelf full of toothed grinders that are now going to be very lonely.

That is a pretty fine looking grind which some may be looking for. Does the grind consistency compare to any of your other grinders? It's a mix of stainless and aluminium correct?
When I hurt my hand a few months ago I couldn't use my OG HerbRipper XL unless I loaded a tiny nug or it presented too much resistance. It was BCG or nothing. That's when I truly understood how neccessary it can be for some to have an easy turning grinder even if it might mean a few more turns. I'm thinking of the Lift specifically but I seem to remember the OG Roiel taking a few turns to get through material but turning easily. That's not first hand experience.

Yes, that is a grind with the fine screen. There’s also a medium screen included. I’m still experimenting with them though. The fine screen is closest to what I’m used to and the medium screen is more of a medium/coarse I would say. They both work though.
And I would say that it takes slightly longer to grind with this, but not by much. I find short back and forth turns with slight pressure work best, instead of full turns.

Well that's good it comes with another screen, I like when the designs allow for more versatility. I'm mostly a medium or medium/fine grind user but I dabble back and forth with fine and coarse as well, it's good to have options. You should post a picture of the other grind the next time you use it, I'd love to see how it looks.

I don’t know if you tell the difference by the photo but the grind on the left is with the fine screen, which I think is med/fine. And on the right is with the medium screen, which I would call med/coarse.

I can totally see the difference. Seems like it's not the most consistent grind, but the coarser one does result in more of a tiny nugget-y consistency. The Roiel Health or Flower Mill needs to be used like that, with the twisting back and forth to kind of shake loose and break off tiny pieces (in stead of shredding even tinier pieces in traditional grinder mechanics). I like the concept and am curious for their next update. Was on the fence of buying their current product but ultimately put off by shipping costs and the kief screen which is removable but leaves an empty ring in the herb compartment. Seems you got a pretty good deal, especially considering the it's ease of use. Thanks for sharing your comments and pics!

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.

So this is the update to their lineup. The dedicated 3 piece looks interesting. I'll probably pick one up to compare with the United Machining one I got coming, and then decide which one to keep. I'm really interested in the mechanism of 'grinding' this device uses and how its morencoarse consistencies turn out.

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.

I am very interested to hear his thoughts as well.
