Finally! Answers to All Your Questions about Tobacco Grinders?

A good grinder in NZ can make a big difference in the quality of your tobacco when preparing it for your smoke. Herbs are ideally ground into smaller pieces for an even smoke, as larger and denser pieces burn unevenly and won’t bring out their full flavour.

As you explore the range of tobacco grinders, you might encounter some terms and information that may confuse you and make it challenging to pick the best product. Here, you’ll find the answers to the most frequently asked questions about grinders.

What are the types of tobacco grinders?

A high-quality grinder in NZ can be made of acrylic or metal. Some are electronic for effortless grinding. We recommend investing in a solid piece that will last a long time.

What’s the cheapest grinder available?

Acrylic grinders are affordable, portable, and compact. High-quality ones work as well as the more expensive aluminium grinders. They can be taken anywhere in your pocket or bag since they’re lightweight and easy on the hands.

Is an electronic grinder worth it?

Electronic grinders are efficient and quick at shredding tobacco and other herbs in seconds, making them convenient to use. They are battery-powered and can be used with one hand. They eliminate the need to twist the device manually for a perfect grind. Remember to break the larger buds with your fingers before placing them in the electric grinder in NZ.

Is it easy to use an aluminium grinder?

Aluminium grinders are sturdy and may come with four levels. Most have a thin wire screen and ensure a high-quality grinding process. A magnet is placed in the middle to keep the vessel closed as you adjust your hand grip to prevent the dry herbs from spilling out.

What size should I get?

Grinders are available in different sizes, usually in diameters ranging from 5cm to 15cm (2 to 6 inches). Small grinders may be handy but require multiple loads. If you’re grinding more tobacco regularly, invest in a big grinder that can handle more.

How do I clean it?

Clean your grinder in NZ as often as possible to prevent it from developing a sticky residue. Remove sticky parts with salt and isopropyl alcohol, and use a small brush to remove loose herbs from the screen. Allow the grinder to dry completely before using it again.
