Thats a sick video man, next time I reup I may try my hand at rolling some different blunts, I'm also going to start saving a little extra cash here and there to save up and buy a space case in a few weeks, its about time I make that investment

You wont ever look back after you make that purchase.

Yeah I'm pretty excited I had a sharpstone before, but I finally sold it off to a good friend for a g of dank, I know I didn't get the best deal but I bought it $30 used so after some pretty more intense use I figured the equivalent of $20 bucks is fine, to me both types of green are exchangeable ways to pay for anything I'm willing to sell haha. And I tried out the scissor method of breaking up bud and I got to say I am a fan, you still get the "spiritual" aspect of breaking up by hand but you can break it up a lot cleaner and quicker with a pair of scissors, so thanks for the tip, I don't remember who initially brought it up, but keep any tips and tricks coming, I can never personally get enough information on the whole world of weed, and I want to be as resourceful as possible. I can't explain how much you all have taught me and how very much I appreciate it

I've done it by hand - but since I bought my grinder over a year ago I've never looked back and don't intend to!

I got a space-case copy for a fiver and it works a treat - gets it ground into powder pretty much, a HELLUVA lot more effective than doing it by hand (I'd rather lace a spliff with a near-powder than little lumps pesonally...) besides, if you've got ANY fingernails it can be a pan getting it all underneath them when you break it by hand...

Of course I've gotta break it up a bit by hand to get it in there in the first place but its nothing like fake grinding with your fingers...

Do it dude!

I have that large 4 piece and a medium 2 piece

My buddy has the medium 4 piece, I say it would probably hold like 1.5g comfortably, and like 2g tight in there.

To be honest though the medium isn't that medium. If I saw the medium I would think it was the small.

If you can spend the extra $ I'd get the large. You'll love it if you plan to use it a lot.

Like I said before I grinded an eighth in like 30 seconds and there was still a good amount of room in there. Could probably hold 5g-6g.

Also it has a lot more surface area on the screen, so it collects keif like a motherfucker. A LOT more than my friends medium.


Go to www.vapeworld.com check out their space cases and their dimensions, then get a tape measure or a ruler and draw out the dimensions so you can see how big they are.

The medium feels REALLY light, and has some thinner metal because it is smaller, my large is nice and solid.

(solid website, ships out quick, order accepted/shipped emails sent, and a tracking number is included.)
Thanks for the info mate

I ran down to my local head shop and bought a a space case, I got the medium 4 piece, it's silver, and I brought some white rhino with me so as soon as I got in the car I grinded about a g up and it was so smooth, the teeth are real sharp, and I don't mind the size at all, I probably would have gotten the large no doubt if I had the extra cash, but I am so happy with this buy, it cost like $98 with tax and an extra dollar charge for credit, I think it was tagged at $90, I'm so relieved actually to be collecting kief again it has been too long

Yeah for sure, that spirituality though is my favorite thing, idk I just feel so almost united with like the entire weed world throughout history, when I'm starring over a nice bud carefully breaking it up piece by beautiful piece
agreed... I don't use my grinder very often

I got a 4 piece grinder free with my da Buddha vape - it's okay, but I'd suggest saving up for a vape before looking into buying a grinder. [da Buddha, MF Launch Box & PD Pandora owner - love 'em all]

best way for me is definatle chopping it. Put it in a small bowl, use scizzors to get it into tiny pieces. takes time but its chill.

I do enjoy the scissor method, it feels like a perfect tool for breaking it up when you cut it, and I say get a grinder before a vape, that's what I did originally, and the grinder got me really into smoking, the vape took me awhile to get use to just because it isn't as natural feeling originally as smoking is, and a grinder makes smoking so much easier, a vape is good for you as you mature as a cannabis connoisseur and can appreciate the different strains better. That was my experience but I'd be interested in how others feel

EDIT: Plus this space case collects kief so fucking well, I could probably get a gram in the upcoming week at least, off probably a quarter o of dank

I'm a bit on the fence about this.
The grinders really fluff it up a lot and save time (depending on if you are an old hand with scissors) but its the 'keifs' or crystals that get knocked off in a buzzer that I don't like too much...
Sure you get your crystals for a smoke later, but what about the smoke now?
In a way I have found that you are actually knocking off a large amount of crystals off the bud you are about to smoke, which means less high.
If you use scissors, sure your fingers will rub a few crystals off, but I don't think as much as a grinder.

Ive tried it both ways more than once, and the scissors seem to give a better high... (non bias opinion)

p.s. my best chopping I do comes from a vegetable knife and a nice timber chopping board I use just for weed. It's like chopping up parsley, but I blame Masterchef shows on TV for encouraging my technique =P

Jimmy.
