I use the storz-bickel orange plastic grinder, can be found on eBay or amazon. Best I’ve ever used. Better than all those hefty metal ones and cheap plastic things.

I'm on the storz-bickel bandwagon here😍😍😍
I have others but this is by far the best 🤣

I need to update this, brilliant cut grinder, the above, flowermill and Santa Cruz shredder are all fab

This is also my go to grinder. I have the bigger one that they do too. It's great

Snap. Can't rate enough

This is my Every Day grinder! 😻

I’ve tried loads of regular and premium grinders over the years but the S&B orange one that came with my Mighty is by far the best.

I’ve had a space case for over 15 years defo worth the extra investment doesn’t ruin your weed fluffs it up prefect

Agreed. I bought my titanium spacecase in 2008 and it hasn't missed a beat. Expensive but as an investment I've made my money on it and then some. Grinds any weed to fluff, catches all the kief.

does the pollen catcher and threads get blocked on these?

EVERY grinder I've had clogs up, maybe I smoke too much though?

If it gets blocked it's easy to clean with isopropyl alchohol.

Old skool way..
just use my fingers 😂 I’m not trying to lose any THC lol I crumble the weed on top the rizla paper 😂

I don't know why, but i thought the thc gets absorbed by your fingers so I never like doing this 😂

😂 probably if you got sweaty hands 😂
Not sure if fingers absorb thc but don’t think you waste much with fingers..

Santa Cruz Shredder (Metal, medium, 3 piece) . You'll never buy another grinder again. It's still sharp and is smooth even after years of continuous use 😅

Keeping it old school

😍

Futo walnut two piece. Every Alu/metal grinder I've ever had has contaminated the herb in some way (flaky coatings, metal fragments, paint rub-off, etc).

This feels safer and glides through most herb.

I’ve been using the Høj Klip for 2 weeks now & it blows every other grinder out of the water. I was a little reluctant spending so much on a grinder but it’s a real investment.

Wow, just checked this out. looks mad! I recently splashed out of the Herb Ripper (Stainless steel instead of aluminium). Thoroughly recommend the herb ripper, my go to grinder and is a beast. I didnt think id need another one until i saw the Høj Klip, now i have it lol

I took the plunge, so glad I did 😁

I was concerned with the blades clogging but they work great and so easy to clean, really wasn't a problem at all.

Collection section, brilliant size, plenty of space and a good kief catcher (gauze not to small that it clogs and becomes redundant)

Each section been magnetic no clogged threads!!! Not had an issue of coming apart but always make sure it's on a flat surface (I just use Cork base) to klip.

Also got a pipe, smooth 😎 not going back or looking back a very happy experience all round!

I'm sold lol. I'm gonna have to wait til after Christmas but this is definitely on my to buy list in January. I can't believe I'm getting yet another grinder 🙄. Thanks for the review druids 😁

Been looking at this one, how are you finding it a few weeks in now?

thanks for this thread - just ordered BCG from Canada, have to wait a while for it though, waiting list!

Been using scissors for over ten years and they beat any grinder hands down

A friend of mine is like you with the scissors lol. He got used it as used to chop up commercial Thai weed back in the day and the habit stuck

Not gonna lie personally I really like the cheap plastic grinders you get from like a local shop or ebay. Grinds quite good and if you ever feel like it needs cleaning you can just throw it out and buy a new one for cheap

santa cruz

I own these three. The orange headchef one is useless. Lovely design and ceramic coating but the mesh isn't fine enough and it collects way too much plant matter. The green headchef one is a kief collecting beast and I use this most of the time however the small, cheap, plastic, black raw one grinds the best I think and I reach for that if I'm in a rush.

I’ve got a head chef, i can’t remember which model but it’s fairly decent, although I generally smoke hash so it does get too much use.

I have a Jcase ceramic coated grinder. She shreddz. Just sayin 😉

I've been using the StoneAge grinder set from Amazon and it's great. £18.99 and still works like new (except the matte finish has mostly rubbed off) is good capacity (2g I reckon although I'm too poor to fill my grinder up and will smoke it all if it's in there lol). Comes with smell proof 20 bags, stickers and a brush. Highly recommend.

I use this stoneage one I got off Amazon, grinds up beautifully but I can’t comment on the longevity because I haven’t had it long enough. I will say it generally feels high quality except for the matte finish which can bubble but that doesn’t affect its effectiveness.

im using a santa cruz shredder atm

has lasted me well for over 4 years!!

Ive got a mini head chef grinder which is awesome but just a tad too small. Ive had a couple of really good cheapo acrylics but by far the best grinder I use at the moment is a brand called Justin Hale.
Nice big teeth, perfect pollen catcher and comes with a little scraper thing to make sure you dont miss any of that valuable pollen! It also grinds anything and everything really quickly and perfectly fluffs up even the stickiest weed.
Little bit pricey but well worth it. Mine is the one without a storage door.

Space case . Expensive but personally I think they are one of the best metal grinders you can get if you have enough to splash out

And believe it or not they are worth the money . As long as you don't loose it it will last for decades and still be as sharp as day one crazy haha

The bulldog

Palm never fails 😂

The cheap plastic one you get at your local shop

Update- must be a year or more since I got the BCG and I have not had a single jam, nor have I had to de-clog it even once to date. Haven’t even looked at my Santa Cruz since, it’s basically redundant.

I use this one its the Zeus Bolt XL Grinder it’s made of Aircraft Grade Anodized Aluminium so it does not get clogged very easily and it comes with a lifetime warranty 😊 it’s got multiple pieces too so you can use it with or without kief catcher compartment in the middle depending on your preference and grinds up very well 🤩 I’m using it without the kief catcher for now too get all of it into the paper/ bowl/ Vape 😊

PpPanda from Amazon. £6.99.

Good grinder but take care of the friction ring

i cant resist gving some skins trivia lol, Did YoU KnOW..? RAW and elements and juicy jays are all the same guys company, theres a great video on the history of RAW papers by J the owner/founder, makes you appreciate a guy who has a total passion for the best rolling papers he could possibly make, using 70 yo artisans to do the watermark on RAW papers. getting them made at the oldest rolling paper factory in the world in alcoy i think.

Didn't know this but delighted because I started using Raw Connisseurs (I think thats how you spell it?) about 2 years ago and now I hate rolling with anything else.

The 32 leaf pack comes with 32 perfect sized roaches and they just so the job perfectly in my opinion. Thanks for the trivia mate!

That’s what I’m using, I like the organic ones of these!

I find the raw skins dont really roll to a cone, they kinda fold into a cone, end up with a strange 20 sided shape joint lol, but i like a loose pack and a fast burn! So probably not an ideal skin for my rolling style, Zig zag blues or OCB hemps all the way!

FYI when i smoke blues, i fold, lick and tear about 6mm strip off the bottom of the skin, then roll. Ends up basicaly 1 papers thick all around the cone but the roach end, a nicer, less paperier smoke!

Anyone ever find smoking silvers that the paper burns to fast for the cherry, and you end up sucking half air half smoke through the roach, feels like you loosing half your joint? Just me maybe lol

(I can roll joints honest! 20years experience lol, i just like em loosey goosey)

That’s mad I didn’t know that cheers mate

Glass tips or Raw Roaches.
Am also a big fan of the rolls69

Running a moist tongue along the edge over from the gummy allows the gummy strip to be torn off. The ragged edge can be bonded to the rolled J and one may enjoy a gum free puff.

Has to be RAW tips for me

I still class as a filter, filters the bits :P

Roach and tightly pack the bottom which acts as a filter its self.

Cotton filters should be illegal as you are basically smoking cotton as the hot smoke oxidises it.

On a side not ive recently switched to a small glass water pipe and my lungs have never been better, fuck all this paper man.

Interested in trying out a small glass pipe aint you recommend mate wouldn't mind fucking tobacco off finally and same goes for smoking papers

Charcoal actitube slim filters, so much lighter on lungs, much tastier and hits you the same as normal joint.

I’ve been using those and purize which are similar.

Even the slimmest are fairly thick but they do make the smoke cleaner and tastier and I don’t feel like my lungs are going to collapse the next day!

Just to add , i do roll pure as had to give up tobacco .

Raw roach, I find filters take something away from the smoke.
What papers are you using mate?

yes but when im done and look at what they took out i'm not thinking that's shit i can't miss out on. as i finally have weed abundance (thanks biggas) i'm not thinking fuck i better make this last like i used to.

Use a variety. Rizla Micron or unbleached(real nice).
Currently using Cannaseurs extra long/ extra slim which have the +/-.
Next to try I have Raw Black
BH

The best papers you could use, when you burn a paper on its own theres nothing left. I buy a 50 box at a time :)

Hi there, I’m currently using raw roach, someone was nice enough to buy me a shop box last Christmas and I’m still getting through them. I’m also a big fan of Quintessential hemp coated tips, I really like the booklets they make.
I have tried filterd joints out of curiosity but didn’t really enjoy it.
Raw are my go to paper, I like that it now that they so easily available in most UK news agents, definitely a step up from the blue rizla.

Yeah i buy a box at a time saves abit of money over a year

Oh yeah, it’s the way forward. These elements papers look nice, will have to give those a try.

Raw black all day

For me I suggest forget any joint everyone should have a roor bong it's the only way to smoke! and much better on your lungs ,I personally ain't smoked a j for years, I remember going in the ganja museum and had picture of the human body and it said most healthy way to smoke weed is in a water pipe i.e BONG! Plus a good cherp sorts out the men from the boys! If you wanna invest in a smoking equipment forget vapes spend 300 quid on a proper bong

Roach never even considered using a filter

ROACH ALL DAY

Deffo a cardboard roach for me, size appropriate to the chunkyness of mix ur putting in, i personally don't like my buds ground up to dust like it still chunky as a find when u get a good blast of a little bud you don't half know abt it, each to there own though

not sure what people mean by filter (an actual filter on a joint? never heard of it)... what I got used to do and find it difficult to do NOT do now is to use the tip of the cigarette (1cm max) as filter itself. He smokes lighter than a roach (smoother on your throat), but it taste better (get oily and if you the last puff is as good as the first)...

Raw roach or splinter Z vape for me bro. Couldn't justify using a filter that would be filtering my THC. You'll lose around 5-10% using those.

I prefer the raw extra wide tips. I see you gave up tobacco. I was never a cigarette smoker and don't particularly like tobacco. I use a Real leaf herbal mix. Some of my friends can't stand it but I find it's not harsh on the throat like tobacco if you're a non-smoker. Each to their own I guess. Vaporise as well but it's hard to beat tight joint and I enjoy the process of skinning one up

I've used menthol filters when smoking for a long while. Back in the days I used a roach but that's too harsh for me as I'm getting on a bit. (Oh dear poor little me ha ha). I quite enjoy a J with menthol filters. BUT I hear menthol filters are being outlawed in England?? To stop younger people. Is that true or have I been told a fib?

No mate, only banning flavoured tobacco. Papers and filters are ok but can't be sold with tobacco included. A bit strange mind using them in spliffs haha but each to their own :).

I just throw in a roach of whatever is at hand (usually the skin packet) or the pre-cut stuff you get with skins

If I absolutely have to make a J (which is hardly ever) I use Raws paper and roaches.

Lmao. Im just waiting on the Pandemic Special strain

Nada yet. Monday hopefully. Will be 5 days

Hi ordered last 30/9. Today is 5th and still no delivery. Could you give me un update on that please?

Chill mate, 2 days is nothing. I'd wait four days on standard mail before it starts to raise doubts, and that's from when they post, not when you ordered.

Sure. I am fine. I am sure will come. Not worry at all. Cheers

5 days now this time and no delivery. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks

Sorry sir we are in small village we do try to use priority postboxes but sometimes post from here can take 1-4 days normal first class. As you can see from feedback can be mixed times but we usually always send same day ; )

Есть другие русскоговорящие страны СНГ куда доставляют.

Нехуя себе ))) добро пожаловать в мир легальной травы

уж точно добро пожаловать!

This is the question everyone gets to eventually, personally I fully believe that there is NOTHING that will ever be able to replace a good joint. Nothing. If you like sitting with a good spliff then there's no replacing it. You can try tobacco substitutes but they are too harsh and taste funky, you can go pure weed joints but that can be expensive if you're not self growing.

I've been smoking for 20+ years now and am at the same point where I know it's time to start giving up the baccy but there's just nothing better than sparking up a joint after hitting the bong lol

It's a sacrifice that has to be made at some point I guess. Will be soon for me (especially since my baccy seems to last 5minutes these days).

If I'm wrong though and you or anyone else has a solution I'd like to know too :)

Possibly have one via cleverbionics.com from our friend JDOG who posted yesterday!

As an ex smoker but still liking a good joint, I wait for the bottom of the bucket weed n grab 14g grams cheap n smoke pure.

Welcome unclefuzzy
Alas my friend, this is a mission that i too have been on for a long time. Sadly in my experiments to enjoy hash once again i tried vaping, pipe, bong but it just wasnt the same...
I got fed up of finding amazing hash here and wasting it with attempts to substitute a good old fashioned spliff. I tried expensive smoking mixes, trim and lower grade weeds like Sess, thai and bush but none came close. I found that they took away from the stone of the hash and it becomes a mixed buzz. You also loose the subtle flavours of the hash.
I wish you well on this search and please get back to me if you find anything that comes close
Peace
BH

Will do my friend, here’s hoping :) do you just smoke weed now as a matter of interest?

As much as i hate myself for saying this i just had to concede when DrugsInc dropped their 00! There was no way i was gonna use that sub optimally and so bought a pouch of my old poison. I pulled out my tray, made a pattern and rolled a beauty.
I wont lie... it was blissful and took me back 20years. The flavours , high and the sense of occasion and it was a great evening.
For a hash fanatic i cant recommend DrugsInc 00 highly enough but this is just my personal opinion. Lovely clean high with both cerebral and body elements and a sense of comfort and contentment.
BH

I’ve got their Lemon Amnesia which is ace but I think the 00 is SOLD on me for next purchase. Thanks for you thoughts and look below, I’ve a possible tobacco alternative so will let you know how I get on with this.
Peace out

Welcome Unclefuzzy! Try this stuff, its not as strong as Tobacco but it rolls and smokes nicely and lets you taste the weed more than you do with tobacco.

Honeyrose (Link at start of my post)

Ooooooohhh, that sounds good. I’ll order that also. FYI all I’ve ordered some buds from that CleverBotanics so will keep you all posted when I’ve tried it!

I did the same mate which flavours did you go for? The pineapple express is a lovely smooth taste, wouldn't recommend the strawb raccoon... Not to my liking. Really good company they sent two samples as well!

Thank you Treebee. That looks really nice.

Cheers for advice. I’ve still to try vapes tbh, I don’t know much about them. Do you add weed to them (like a pipe or bong?) and can you vape hash?

I found these the best
Arkopharma NTB Herbal Cigarettes Tobacco Free
£3.50 Holland and Barrat
Take a bit of getting used to, but have same feel as tobacco if not taste.
I used them but moved onto a good dry herb vape, works well with hash or oil as well as herb.

Looks like they have been discontinued.

Cheer for that bro :)

There's a company called real leaf. They make tobacco substitutes that are infused with cannabis terpenes. But no cod or the so is all legal. Think there are 6 different strains/flavours

Here https://www.real-leaf.com/products/terpenes-herbal-smoking-blends-kit

Spot on mate! I’ll give that a look

Hey mate, Damiana's a nice taste and buzz; adds a bit of energy to joints (haven't picked up on the aphrodisiac qualities :). And I'd recommend Zamnesia.com, wide range of stock and good prices and it's just a few quid postage from the Netherlands.

Spot on :) I’ll give that a try!!!

Hey, I like CBD flower mix with THC rich bud to smoke in RAW cones normally but also have been dynavaping instead of smoking and 18month without tobacco. Also thai weed is a good alternative tobacco.

I need something which isn’t gonna add to the buzz of the hash or weed. Does the CBD ok for that?

Cbd would be perfect only problem is it costs as much weed or more

For me it's a nice change from tobacco its light and not harsh like baccy I dont miss nicotine or the panics. I like weed, cbd/thc flower n thai are nice alternatives as a treat. Try it ?

Does it add to the buzz at all? Also where do I get this from?

Like BarbellHunter says it's not for everyone. You can get thai on hear the amazing LB and its vendors and cbd flower i get mine @ cleverbotanics.com do some really nice cbd flower and fast delivery. Like I say I dynavap most of the time with thc sativa and indica. But this works for me.

Many thanks my friend, I’ll see what this flower stuff is about :)
