Weed Grinders

Buy Weed Grinders Online in Canada

A good grinder is one of the most used pieces of gear you’ll own. It breaks your flower down evenly, so joints burn smoother, bowls pack better and vaporizers heat more evenly.

We carry 4-piece grinders from Raw, Santa Cruz Shredder, Hammercraft and Gear Premium, plus electric grinders from Pulsar, Yocan and Grindhouse that do the work at the push of a button.

Why Use a Weed Grinder

Even burn and better vapor. Evenly ground flower burns slower in a joint and heats more consistently in a vaporizer.

Saves your flower. Breaking buds up by hand leaves resin on your fingers. A grinder keeps it all in the chamber.

Collects kief. A 4-piece grinder sifts kief into its own chamber, so you can save it up and add it to a bowl or joint.

Faster. A few twists, or one press on an electric grinder, and you’re ready to roll or pack.

Types of Weed Grinders

4-Piece Grinders

A 4-piece grinder has a lid and teeth chamber on top. Below that, the ground flower drops through holes into a collection chamber, and a fine screen lets kief fall into a catcher at the bottom.

• The Raw 4-Piece Life Grinder V3 is made of aluminum, and Raw backs each component with a lifetime guarantee.
• The Santa Cruz Shredder is made in the USA from anodized aluminum. It has non-stick teeth, a rare earth magnet lid and a scoop for collecting kief.

Electric Weed Grinders

If you grind a lot or just don’t want to twist, an electric grinder does it for you:

• Pulsar King Kut V2: Grinds right into a glass jar, so there’s no transfer step and no mess. It charges by USB-C and shuts off automatically after 10 minutes.
• Yocan iShred: Uses two zinc alloy blades that cut flower instead of crushing it. It has auto and manual modes, and an auto-reverse feature keeps it from clogging. Its 450mAh battery gives up to 100 minutes of grinding per charge.
• Grindhouse King Kut: Has a 1000mAh battery and grinds into two glass jars with screw-on lids, so you can grind and store in one step.

Clear Top Grinders

A clear top lets you see the grind without opening the grinder, so you can stop right when it looks right. The Hammercraft 2.5" Clear Top Grinder is a four-layer aluminum grinder with a viewing window and a magnetic closure. Raw also makes a 4-Piece Clear View Grinder.

Small and Large Grinders

Size comes down to how much you grind at once:

• Small grinders: The 1.5" Santa Cruz Shredder Small fits in a pocket or stash box.
• Mid-size grinders: A 50mm (about 2") grinder handles everyday sessions.
• Large grinders: A 63mm (about 2.5") grinder, like the bigger Gear Premium or the Hammercraft 2.5", gives you room for bigger loads.

How to Use a Weed Grinder

1. Break any large buds into smaller pieces.
2. Place the flower around the teeth, not on the centre pin.
3. Put the lid on and twist back and forth until it turns easily.
4. Tap the grinder so the ground flower falls into the collection chamber.
5. Open the middle chamber and use your flower.
6. Every so often, scrape the kief out of the bottom chamber.

Grinding for Joints, Bowls and Vaporizers

How fine you grind depends on how you smoke:

• Joints: A fine, fluffy grind rolls more easily and burns evenly. Pair your grinder with a rolling tray and rolling papers.
• Bongs and pipes: A medium-coarse grind keeps small bits from getting pulled through the bowl.
• Vaporizers: An even, consistent grind is key. A weed vaporizer heats your flower without burning it, and an even grind helps it heat consistently so you get more flavour from every session.

When you’re done, keep the rest of your flower fresh in an airtight jar from our weed storage collection.

FAQs

What’s the best weed grinder?

For most people, an aluminum 4-piece grinder is the best fit. It grinds evenly, lasts for years and collects kief. If you grind a lot or twisting is a pain, an electric grinder like the Pulsar King Kut V2 or Yocan iShred does it for you.

What does a 4-piece grinder do?

It grinds your flower in the top chamber, drops it into a collection chamber, and sifts kief through a screen into a catcher at the bottom.

Are electric weed grinders worth it?

If you grind a lot of flower or have trouble twisting a manual grinder, yes. They’re fast and give you a consistent grind every time. A manual grinder is cheaper and doesn’t need charging.

How do I clean a weed grinder?

For metal grinders, take the pieces apart and soak them in isopropyl alcohol, then scrub with a brush, rinse and let them dry completely. Don’t soak electric grinders. Brush them out and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

What is kief and how do I use it?

Kief is the small, sticky trichomes that fall off your flower as you grind. You can sprinkle it on top of a bowl or into a joint for an extra kick.
