I don't use mine for making tons of hash.
I use it to grind my weed.
All the extra kief is just a huge bonus.
That was my whole point of this thread.
If I want to make hash I use my Bubblebags or rub the inside of my jars for a quick hash ball. Killa queen made some sick finger hash that bubbled up real nice.
I've been smoking some Butane Hash oil the last couple day. It's been some killer shit.
The guy who made it really knows what he's doing.
It was the best butane hash I ever had, by far!
Just don't take too many hits or smoke it too often.
It will hurt your lungs after a while.
Mostly because it is soo much THC.
IN fact if I remember correctly, it all turns into some more psychedelic form of THC from the Butane.
No butane at all in the shit I smoked.
And it tasted amazing.
Wasn't has harsh as usually is.
He got it dowen and figured out a safe way to do it with out feeling like we will blow up any minute.

yeah, i just use my grinder for grinding up the buds. My fingers just get way too sticky if i try to break em up by hand.
I like it, that little triangle scraper they give you works great to control it and like i said, if you thoroughly clean the resins heads out of the grinder, you can always soak it in nail polish remover to get it as good as new.
i don't grow enough of a strain to have a pure "insert strain here" hash or dry sieve so everything i grind up goes into one place.
of course if you have 4 ounces of trim, then a double screen stash box or tumbler is definately the way to go.

Nice looking shots. I tend to just use my grinder to grind weed, the kief collected is just a bonus that I wouldn't normally see.

I'm loving my grinder. No more sticky fingers or my wife bitchin' about ruining her scissors. But I have to admit I did expect to collect more than I do. I was hoping it'd be filled to the screen after a few weeks of steady grinding, but this is what I collected in ~3 months.

Results vary in your yield through grinding. Depending on if you shake and pound your grinder after you've ground up the bud. (to shake the keif through). Or whether, you just grind, and dump. For my yield, what is in my grinder in that picture on the first page, that is front he one nug sitting on top of it. I got alot from that type of herb, and less from others. Just shake your grinder when you use it. I smoke so many joints (5 a day) that i'd rather have a keif ball for a pipe later when i want to get wrecked and not just stoned. :joint:

your mesh is clogged or it's far too fine...

soak the unit in ISO, then scrub it with a brush, rinse in water & then blow dry

cool thread.....

it was inspiration to me, so I pulled out the tools and decided to clean out my grinder

I was pleasantly surprised at how much keif I had in there in so little time (2 months). It is going to make for a great lazy sunday afternoon!!! :joint:









i apoligize for the photo quality but my digicam is from the last decade (the kief is the blonde stuff in the joint, my weed is dark green)




oh yea the grinder was 15 euros at hillstreet blues in amsterdam, was a solid purchase

That GN stash box on seedbay is tempting at 99USD until you realize that shipping is 50USD. Nice wood and all, but I'm not really looking for a piece of furniture...just something to store my bud in and get an occasional bowl of kief. For the mo, I'll stick with making my own from a cigar box.

I ended up replacing the SS screen that came with my grinder with a piece of 125 micron silkscreeen. The c ring that held the stainless piece in place is beefy enough to capture and hold the silkscreen quite well, and the keif is far superior to anything I've gotten before with the stainless mesh.

I made a kif shaker with some fine ass screen that I bought from Ebay. It was called kif screen in fact. Anyway, I took some of those cheap white square plastic storage containers and cut the bottoms off of a few. I trimed the screen to a nice fit to the containers that I cut to bottom off. I secured it with high quality duct tape. I keep about an ounce at a time in there and just shake it sometimes when I am watching tv or something. Sometimes I chop the buds up with heavy scissors. I get some pure blonde kif, nothing green. I only use bud to hold the kif in place while I spark it. Now that I think of it, it is time for a hit now!

Well here's mine and it seems i have more caked in the grinder then i do in the bottom. Those large chunks are some bubble i threw in there to get "sugar coated" I'm certain the screen is 180 micron so it's not a fine screen.

The version 2 ones are with a 285 micron silk screen i guess that the ones with metal net are the same.

I like the smooth operation that it performes, I like it, alot.

Those grinders suck in 1 way brodo...they break off THC crystals as there are more THC crystals in the actual grinder then the weed....making it less potent...the 1nes without the spike as a grinder are better ones from what i've been hearing
