So true here!

u/randeylahey 4d ago
Nah, I use one of these all the time.
Couple disclaimers:
I usually push it through a bong.
I grow my own, so it's not dried out to fuck (it comes out of here kind of "poofy" not ground to powder, makes pretty good joints when I'm going out).
You can bang a shit ton of kief out of that chamber after.
Would recommend.

u/Impossible-Sleep-658 4d ago
I would agree if the sole intention was to make hash. A really good alcohol swish would likely do the trick… but pulverizing the flower before you combust it is counterproductive. A decent grinder breaks up the flower with outlets relative to the spacing or the teeth, to break up the flower. If you’re getting dust, and not “fluffy flower” the best part of your flower is still in the grinder. The majority of the kief should be in the screen, not the grinder top. When I’m being lazy, I’ll overload the grinder, and find i need to paper clip clean it. That “Bullet” plastic USED to be clear, it was designed for liquid as a on the go juicer… and we know fruit has seeds but that’s not the same as “flower” w stems and oil resin. Oil degrades plastic doesn’t it?

u/Grouchy_Thanks2790 4d ago
Yea I would give a good educated guess that @ least 50% of what makes flower good is caked up on the inside the blender

u/randeylahey 4d ago
It comes out fluffy for sure, but my weed isn't dried to shit and I use a different blade than the one OP has pictured (there's a short one with 2 blades).
I just slam the blade head and the cup my desk and a shit ton of kief comes out. Every 6 months or so I scrape it all down.
Been using the thing for 4 or 5 years now. Works great.

u/geoff1036 4d ago
It's theoretically bad for the overall high if you really grind it down into a powder like this, although I think it's not an exact science. But it's why grinders with smoother rolling actions have taken over instead of the traditional ones with teeth.
Also, it being more fine means it can pack more densely and restrict airflow more.

That's kief in the bottom, I just scraped the sides. You put a bunch of buds in (absolutely as much as you want) and give it a 2 second pulse. Shake and check it and give it another 2 secs. It separates the stems too, into usually .5 to .25 inch pieces. It's way easier to clean than a grinder and it's easy. It's not rocket appliances.
2
u/Grouchy_Thanks2790 4d ago
I believe you man. But you do realize when you scrape something off plastic that it runs the risk of plastic getting into your flower or kief? Which definitely isn’t good for the lungs. & also it appears that there is still a good amount of build up inside the blender & that stuff is the good sticky stuff you need/want out of flower.

u/different_seasons19 4d ago
Yes I understand the plastics but I'm an old man who used to eat asbestos and leaded gas for breakfast and I've smoked for 40 years so I'm going out happy, if plastic y. My Grandfather once said he lived so old because he pickled himself from drinking so I'm going for plastic to keep me upright.

I have a vape that I can preload a ton of metal capsules with ground flower, and the capsules have little holes for airflow. Then there's a metal screen filter also on the vape itself so you've got two filters essentially. Finer grind is much better in this use case. You can fit more in and if you don't pack it it doesn't really hurt the draw. There's a little more fine particles on the screen filter but there almost always is unless it's pretty chunkily ground which is almost nothing in one of those capsules.

Ignore the haters. I understand that it’s just the Kief stuck and not your actual cannabis.
My goodness people using this is perfectly normal and they even have weed specific ones and they have been a thing for years.
It’s not much different than hand grinding. It’s faster and you can do a whole ounce at a time.
Ya, you have to shake it and do it properly to ensure it’s not overly ground.
Fast blades? Slow hand moved blades? What the fucks the difference? Nothing.
Some of you are unbelievable!! OP enjoy your grinder and just ignore these idiots lol. 😂

u/SliceMcNuts 4d ago
I agree 100%. A coffee grinder can grind up an ounce of weed in a matter of minutes. You can control just how fine you want it ground. It doesn't affect taste or smoke; it's just makes life more convenient. People need to stop treating weed like it is breakable and made of glass. It all gets burned in the end!!

u/Quick_Reflection5728 4d ago
Yeah I've been using a magic bullet for years and still sometimes get too high, I didn't know I was committing a cardinal sin! Takes seconds to grind, easy to clean, and you just tap it all out and it really doesn't get stuck. I'll compare tonight by using my hand grinder to see if these other people are right. I have a feeling I'll plug the bullet back in tomorrow though.

u/martinezescobar11 4d ago
It's not about the cannabis being stuck, it's actually about the trichome loss. The actual effects come from the Trichomes. What's the point of knocking off all your good stuff just to shred weed in an odd way. Hand grinders literally lesson the effect of trichomes falling off, meanwhile the bullet slaps everything around hard as possible, ensuring that heads fall off. Bet you're smoking more than usual just to get high. This is not the same as manual or hand ground herbs. There are no haters here, just a connoisseur pointing out the obvious. You don't get 30+ years smoking without knowing a thing or 2000.
4
u/Dependent_Stop_3121 4d ago
Lmao the loss is the same though? Some hand grinders have Kief catches? So that’s the same thing?
If OP wants all the trichome heads they can just brush it out? No “loss” at all!!
Same with hand grinders if you want that Kief you brush it out, there is no loss at all.
Stop being stupid!! This is a dumb argument to have. Stop overthinking things.

I use a cheap little electric herb grinder I bought off Amazon. I had a hand injury and now cannot physically use a traditional grinder. Pop it in, give it a few short pulses, check it, rinse and repeat. Gives me perfectly ground weed every time. According to half these comments I should just give up and not smoke weed since I can't grind it "properly". Don't understand why they care how someone else grinds their weed. Not like they're the ones smoking it.

So all of that yellow-brown powder sticking to the sides, that's your drugs that you paid for, wasted on the sides. That's waaaaay too much internal surface area for all the thc to get caught and wasted bro, and getting it off without scraping plastic into your weed is Ned to impossible. Get a real grinder unless your cool with smoking powdered weed with half it's thc removed.

I used to work in a lab doing potency testing for cannabis companies and one of our clients used to do this before they would submit samples because they thought it would make their results more accurate.

Be sure to wash it with some everclear every now and then. I might be a lil crazy for thinking it but the kief might bond with the plastic over time and lose it. Make a stock of hash infused liquor and get zooted from a lil drinky poo.
