Trick to get finer grind with 4 piece grinder

[vapeguy]

I was about to go back to an electric coffee grinder as my manual 4 piece grinder was making a much too coarse grind.

Then I got the idea to hold it upside down while grinding to force the herb to stay in the grinding compartment and keep grinding for a while. I can now get a perfectly fine grind with my 4 piece grinder.

This trick is well known, to the point where I turn my 2 piece grinders upside down.

I had used an electric coffee grinder forever, so I was new to these 4 piece manual grinders so it took me a few uses before figuring out this trick myself. I now much prefer this than taking out a coffee grinder each time which often ground too fine and clogged my screens.
