Best Herb Grinders 2021

Overview

The SLX 4pc Grinder uses top-quality materials to offer exceptional strength, perfect balance, and the ability to enjoy your herbs at their finest. 

The latest version- SLX Grinder V2.5, retains all the positives of the original while improving the build quality. The SLX V2.5 is created from 7075-T6 aluminum; an alloy used to create jet aircraft and rockets, making it seemingly unbreakable. Aside from that, it now has rare-earth magnets, Neodymium, for a more secure and stronger hold. 

Other products in the SLX line include the SLX BFG 88mm and the SLX Rolling Tray. 

Design

The SLX Grinder may look like an ordinary 4-piece grinder, but it’s made of Aerospace-Grade Aluminum that’s strong enough to prevent cross-threading, bent, or be broken. Its toughness and durability is just the tip of it, but how about beneath it? Let’s find out the upgrades:

• Toxic-Free: The SLX is coated with 100% non-toxic ceramic coating.
• Trapezoid-Shaped Teeth: It has 57 teeth that grind to the perfect consistency, making the ground-up herb fluffy.
• Grinding Action: The interior used a non-stick ceramic coating for a smoother grinding action.
• Spill-Proof: The SLX uses a stronger magnet that prevents accidental spillage whenever it’s in your bag, pocket, or even inside your purse.
• Flat-Indents Cuts: Makes SLX easier to grip and twist when you grind.
• Stainless Steel Screen: It has a drum-tight stainless steel screen to ensure pollens get filtered, not any pieces of the herbs.

Ceramic Coating

The SLX Grinder V2.5 is ceramic-coated from the inside-and-out. It’s incredibly smooth and resistant to sticking. The coating application passed the three levels of quality control: adhesion, hardness, and core strength, making the evert twist easier.

Grinder Performance

The SLX Grinder V2.5 is a combination of power and grace – it consistently grinds up any strains of herb perfectly in the easiest and smoothest way. The SLX is made of high-quality materials that will last a lifetime.

Importance of A Good Grinder

If you want to get the most out of vaping, you’ll need a good grinder. That is, it breaks down the herb making it heated more evenly in the oven of any desktops or portable vaporizers. It also improves the airflow as the heated air can pass through the well-grounded herb easier.

Who’s It For?

The SLX Grinder V2.5 is for anyone (regardless of whether they’re new or professional vapers) who wants to enjoy a good quality vaping goodness.

Overview

Cloudious9 is known for their innovative and creative approach to their products such as Hydrology-9 and Atomic-9. Hydrology-9 is a dry herb vaporizer with built-in water filtration and Atomic-9 is known for its lightweight and low profile portable dry herb vape. Tectonic-9, on the other hand, is a fusion of a traditional grinder and an automatic dispensing grinder.

Design

At first glance, Tectonic-9 may look similar to manual grinders but when you take a look at it, there's a clear viewing window, sliding panel, a button with a USB port, and a mysterious folding part. All of these were designed for your convenience:

• Viewing Window: It has a LED light so that you can check the stock level without exposing your herb.
• Flip Spout: This will dispense your material with accuracy as you see fit.
• Slidable Gate: Your herbs are securely stored yet you can easily access it.
• Special Internal Structure: This is designed to evenly distribute your herb.
• Built-In Vibration Motor: The vibrational frequency is perfectly optimized for even dispensing and fluffy ground herb.
• Grinding Teeth: The 28 CNC manufactured diamond-shaped grinding teeth are made for a perfectly fluffy grind.

With all the features above, it will weigh more than other grinders. Also, it's solidly built from anodized aluminum which can take on harsh outdoor environments.

Grinder Performance

Tectonic-9's grinding mechanism is magnetically attached and has a textured finish around the edge that makes gripping it easy. The ground-up herb is nice and fluffy, thanks to its diamond-shaped teeth. As for the dispensing action, the vibrating action helps to push the herb through the spout which makes the herb accurately put into your vaporizer oven.

Battery Performance

It's equipped with a 320 mAh battery that can last up to 120 times per charge, and recharging it will only take about an hour. Even though you can't use the vibrational dispensation feature when the battery is dead, you can just pluck the herb out of the chamber for yourself.

2. Place the herb in the chamber.
3. Replace the lid and start grinding.
4. Flip-up the spout.
5. Slide the access panel open.
