What’s the difference?
Cannabis grinders are used to break down dry cannabis material into a fine powder. Most weed grinders are made of stainless steel or glass with a blade and an adjustable screen. As the herb is ground up, smaller trichomes become exposed.
The extra surface area created by these trichomes is where the THC, thc-a and other cannabinoids reside.
This results in a more potent dosing experience for those who take it orally as well as better taste and smell. Grinding the cannabis will also allow for a smoother smoke. Therefore, it is recommended that you grind your dry herb before you smoke it as the smoking experience will be smoother.
Cannabis can also be made into a concentrated form using a vaporizer or an extractor/oil press with the pressure required in order to turn the cannabis into oil or wax. In these cases, it is best to make sure that the material is completely dry before using a grinder. In order to make a tincture or an edible, it is best to use a spice grinder so that you don’t get the material on the grinder.
Cannabis grinders are also called weed grinders, marijuana grinders, bud grinders, herb grinders, marijuana crushers and so forth.

Grinders for aromatic herbs
Grinders for aromatic herbs don’t grind weed at all. Instead, these grinders are used to create a fine powder by grinding aromatic herbs such as lavender, rose or peppermint or any other material that has a pleasant aroma. To grind these herbs, you will have to crush them up in the grinder by running it over a piece of paper or wood. You can turn them into powders that are used for cooking, diffusing or using as incense.
Grinders for concentrates
Grinders for concentrates are usually called oil grinders. The benefit of using these type of cannabis grinders is that they can make a very fine marijuana concentrate and this makes it easier to dose. They have come in handy when you need to measure out your marijuana concentrate when making edibles or tinctures as well. These grinders also perform other tasks such as cleaning your pipe and crystals with grinding into a fine powder that improves airflow. These grinders usually come in the shape of a small bottle with a lid. They are also commonly used in dry herb vaporizers and portable vaporizer devices.

How to store weed?
It is important to keep your grinder clean so that the herb doesn’t end up getting stuck on it. You can do this by cleaning it thoroughly after each session. You can then leave it to dry out before storing. Also, you need to make sure that the container you’re storing your grinder in is airtight so that no moisture gets trapped inside.
Making sure that the blade isn’t dull:
Weed grinders are not like sharpening knives where you can run it over a stone and get a razor-sharp blade. You will need to make sure that your grinder is well maintained. This is because if the blade is dull, you will end up with more material getting stuck on the grinder. If possible, you should replace the blade regularly so that you do not end up with a blunt one.
