Hey can someone explain how grinders work to me? I really don't get it. So you put the herb in the top section and turn it... and it gets ground up and falls onto the screen below? and under that screen, on the bottom, is where the kief lands?
Now... Do you just leave your herb in the grinder when you're done, effectively using the grinder as a storage case? and do these things seal up tight enough to block the smell (I'm looking at kellysgreatproducts CNC machined grinders on eBay)?
Last question... I don't use a lot of herb. 1/8 ounce will last me a month or longer. Given that, I'm thinking I'll just make the grinder my full time storage case as well, if they're supposed to be used for that. So, I'm thinking of buying a very large (100mm) grinder, just so I have extra storage space. Would that make sense? Or would I be better off buying a small grinder and dumping the ground herb into a different storage case? Does a grinder need to be packed full before grinding, or could I put a tiny amount in a giant grinder and still get an effective grind?
OK here's how I'm envisioning a grinder, tell me if I'm not accurate: I buy my herb. I stick it in the grinder and grind it. It falls onto the screen, where it stays and any time I want to vape some, I just open the grinder and take a little out. When I run out, I repeat the process. Is that pretty accurate? Or do you store your stash outside of the grinder?
heh, sorry for the ramble, just vaped some big hits and I'm feelin' great.
