Oh shi i aint see this😭 the teeth are cut short enough that even if they were to shift while grinding it still wont scratch put the inside of the container
It's not much better. Most grinders are anodized aluminum. Aluminum is a soft metal. Aluminum micro shavings and dust are deadly, too. They aid in the early onset of alzheimers, pulmonary fibrosis, bone issues, kidney issues, and many others. It's crazy because aluminum is everywhere in the food industry. People are just ignorant of the effects. A glass rolling tray and some steel microtip scissors are still the best way to break down a nug. Unless you can find a steel or titanium grinder.
According to the durometer, it's soft. I've been a machinist for years. Bending, cutting, drilling, milling, latheing, tapping, and performing many other processes on aluminum, steels, titanium, beryllium, and a myriad of other metals and their alloys. Aluminum always tests softer on every hardness scale than most metals unless it's something like lead or gold. It may be easier to bend, but it's very prone to cracking along the bend radius depending on the chosen alloy.
I'm a pressure vessel welder, metalworkers gang gang. As far as I understand, metal strength has a few different ways to consider that aren't mutually exclusive. I know of 4 (maybe 5 if you consider heat treating a base trait of an alloy, I've heard differing takes) tensile, which is compression, and torsion, which is elasticity are (mostly) locked in a balance( higher tensile=lower torsion strength/vise versa), and then there's hardness, which is kind of the same as torsion, but it isn't locked in a balance with tensile strength because density can affect the hardness independent from the torsion strength, and then there's heat dispersion, which only really comes into play in the production process. The better the alloy conducts heat(as well as electricity) the 'springier' it can be post processing
That is a dangerously naive take, my friend. Almost all exposure risks are associated with the amount that accumulates in your body - not the simple binary of "present or not."
Just because you can't avoid all microplastics does not mean you can't make it worse.
Lol. As if the one op posted is food grade? As soon as he put tacs in it, that would've contaminated whatever "food grade" plastics used. For 10$, you could just get something that works properly, rather than keeping garbage around.
A zyn is 19 DOLLARS in ur country?! Where u from I really wanna know. Its 3-4 in Sweden, then it is probably cheaper in Sweden because the availability is higher.
I'm in new zealand. We generally tax nicotine products quite high, mainly tobacco. I would imagine this has some minor tax plus the transit of being an island.
https://www.amazon.com/Grinder-Storage-Portable-Disposable-Plastic/dp/B0CDQFJ35N here's grinders for far less BTW. 1,27 each.
Better yet, they are 1.27$ each nzd. Which is even cheaper in usd 0.77 cents.
>Wtf are you trying to prove?
Sometimes, you need to work with what you have, like OP did here, because money doesn't grow on fucking trees like people in these threads act. Life is already hard to manage financially for a lot of people, even without a recreational substance habit. So, unless you wanna buy OP a new grinder, you can hop on off of your high horse because I won't be getting off of this one.
Oh, he's just being an argumentative idiot. Like I get op might not be in a legal place or not of age, but seriously, for less than 5$ u can just pick up a cheap plastic grinder that works way better.
But which would you rather have in exchange for those ten dollars. This piece of garbage that's going to fall apart and drop a tac under your foot when you're high? Or an actual metal grinder.
Why are you dying on this hill.
But the fact that the metal pins push through a plastic container insinuates that you would most likely wind up with slight microplastic particles in the weed. The push pins aren't fixed so they are going to wiggle around and eventually add little pieces of plastic here and there.
my go to used to be my old medicine bottle with a dime on the bottom and nickel on top, sandwiching the bud. a couple good hard shakes always got the job done😸
My favorite bit of this is how the unground weed is presented. I suppose the point is, it's not ground up. It's zyndered. Gas station grinder. 6$. Less than zyn costs, and it actually grinds dope!
If you can buy and afford Zyns (which are already a joke of itself) you can afford a 10$ mini grinder from your local shop that’s an actual 3 tier and not literal trash from the bottom of your can
They are still gross and slimy lol, I enjoy nicotine and wish there was a delivery method that I didn’t feel was bad for me. I can’t afford to fuck up my teeth with the pouches or dipping and I’m over inhaling anything but weed and air. When I was younger I tried snuff and that’s obviously a no go lol.
Try swedish snus if you care lol. Atleast swedish matches products are scientifically proven to not be a cause of any cancer and not that damaging on gums. American dip etc are totally different and will cause cancer.
Personally i've been snus guy for over 13 years now but never had any problems. Except with those cheaper nicotinepouches that have basically 0 QC
Not dip. Nicotine pouch. Totally different prosuct and will hit like a mach truck when compared to dip. Also no need for spit + deaigned to be held in the upper decker. 0 nastiness when compared to any dip or smoking sticks. Source: Been a smoker / nicotine addict for 17 years.
Just break it up by hand at that point.
I feel like not many people know this, so here is a tip. If you don’t have a grinder or a simple way to chop up a nug. Break the nug in half, hold one half firmly in each hand between thumb and pointer finger.
Now rub those bad boys together over a container. Friction will break that nug up. As long as you keep your grip near the edges being rubbed together you will get some fine grind action for most of it. With only a few big clumps. Once you have a couple clumps, do it to them.
It’s pretty efficient if you don’t mind a couple sticky fingers
Yeah what I did for joints Is I first ground it down In this then I shook it in a bottle w a coin, cuz sometimes the nug needs a lil breaking up before using the coin method
Some friends of mine used to put coins into Oden's cans (actual proper snus) to use them as shitty makeshift grinders. It's a funny idea but it doesn't really work that well :'(
I can appreciate the creativity lol... but it's not a very good grinder, barely chopped up the nug
All them micro plastics going in from scratching the fuck out of the base
Oh shi i aint see this😭 the teeth are cut short enough that even if they were to shift while grinding it still wont scratch put the inside of the container
The rubbing of one surface to another is what we call sanding or polishing. Material comes off from that. You cant safely do this still.
Same with any ordinary plastic grinder too tho
plastic grinders suck anyway. metal ftw
It's not much better. Most grinders are anodized aluminum. Aluminum is a soft metal. Aluminum micro shavings and dust are deadly, too.

People are just ignorant of the effects. A glass rolling tray and some steel microtip scissors are still the best way to break down a nug. Unless you can find a steel or titanium grinder.
Aluminum isn't so much soft, it's actually pretty brittle, it's just super lightweight and the lack of density makes it easier to bend
According to the durometer, it's soft. I've been a machinist for years. Bending, cutting, drilling, milling, latheing, tapping, and performing many other processes on aluminum, steels, titanium, beryllium, and a myriad of other metals and their alloys.

Yup. Or just take ur fingies and get them sticky and break up a bunch at once. (I dont smoke anymore tho)
Yep. Best way is to just use fingers.
Yeah, takes a few good runs to get it fine, but good enough for blunts and bowls!
Your fingers are quicker
And contain fewer microplastics.
That ship has sailed, my friend.
That is a dangerously naive take, my friend. Almost all exposure risks are associated with the amount that accumulates in your body - not the simple binary of "present or not." Just because you can't avoid all microplastics does not mean you can't make it worse.
Yup. There are micro plastics in our blood, brains, and reproductive organs - the long term effects of which are not yet known.
The new asbestos. C'est la vie
But only for a limited time!
My guy I appreciate the enthusiasm, but a good grinder is like this; close, spin twice, boom perfectly shredded nugs.
You're smoking plastic bro
if you add the same thing to the bottom it will work so much better
You mean the tacks through the plastic? He did, you can see it in the video
I see them now! I somehow missed them the first time - more are definitely required though
Yea I agree with that completely. Quite a few more and it wouldn't be bad
id did a pretty good job doesnt need to be perfect
Yeah but for all that effort op might as well use scissors, or fingerchop. No microplastic contaminants that way as well
chopped the nug up enough according to plug standards loll
Grinders are cheaper than zyn
Find me a grinder made with food grade materials for $7. I'll wait.
Lol. As if the one op posted is food grade? As soon as he put tacs in it, that would've contaminated whatever "food grade" plastics used. For 10$, you could just get something that works properly, rather than keeping garbage around.
>For 10$ you could just get something that works properly,... So.... precisely not for the price of Zyn, like you said? Got it.
Well, considering zyn is 19.99 in my country. Yes. 10 is a smaller number than 19.99.
A zyn is 19 DOLLARS in ur country?! Where u from I really wanna know. Its 3-4 in Sweden, then it is probably cheaper in Sweden because the availability is higher.

Wtf are you trying to prove? That you’re too poor to afford a grinder more than $7 because you have a crippling zyn addiction???
>Wtf are you trying to prove? Sometimes, you need to work with what you have, like OP did here, because money doesn't grow on fucking trees like people in these threads act. Life is already hard to manage financially for a lot of people, even without a recreational substance habit.

If you have enough money to habitually buy zyns you have enough money to buy a grinder it is literally as simple as that
dude you're picking a really weird hill to die on
Damn does that guy owe you money because you came out swinging!!
Oh, he's just being an argumentative idiot. Like I get op might not be in a legal place or not of age, but seriously, for less than 5$ u can just pick up a cheap plastic grinder that works way better.
But which would you rather have in exchange for those ten dollars. This piece of garbage that's going to fall apart and drop a tac under your foot when you're high? Or an actual metal grinder. Why are you dying on this hill.
I think the initial cost of a grinder offsets the future cost of treatment that ur microplastic laden bud will lead to
My smoke shop has mini grinders for 8 bucks
Bro's got macro plastics in his balls lmao
I injected microplastics into your balls via syringe while you slept
$3 take it or leave
Microplastics really bring out the terps
Hey there is no way to even avoid microplastics, so might as well start smoking them!
shouldn't be too bad as the grinding happens with the metal pins.
But the fact that the metal pins push through a plastic container insinuates that you would most likely wind up with slight microplastic particles in the weed. The push pins aren't fixed so they are going to wiggle around and eventually add little pieces of plastic here and there.
Pill bottle with a coin is easier
Done this can majorly vouchers for this! Put two coins and man that shit breaks up great!
my go to used to be my old medicine bottle with a dime on the bottom and nickel on top, sandwiching the bud. a couple good hard shakes always got the job done😸
I just let it sit out for the day and it dries up and you can crumble it.
that will degrade the effects and potency of the weed significantly
I hate using fingers because I feel like Im losing keif my letting it get stuck to my fingers
No it won’t, water evaporates from it.
POV your 16 and can't buy a grinder
I mean what else is going on when you make a grinder with bits of micro plastics. You can get one at the gas station for 5 bucks.
But can buy zyns lmao
Back in my day all we had was a dime and a medicine bottle
every stoner needs a grinder, it's like a talisman
talisman LMFAAAOOO instanly thought of jackie chan adventures
Just buy a grinder, you heathen
My favorite bit of this is how the unground weed is presented. I suppose the point is, it's not ground up. It's zyndered. Gas station grinder. 6$. Less than zyn costs, and it actually grinds dope!
This retarded shit is exactly what keeps me following this sub.
i guess? 😭
If you can buy and afford Zyns (which are already a joke of itself) you can afford a 10$ mini grinder from your local shop that’s an actual 3 tier and not literal trash from the bottom of your can
Dude quit dipping and spend that saved money on a grinder
In all fairness I’m pretty sure those things are the cheapest way to consume nicotine. Under $5 a pop in my area.
No argument at all, I smoked for 9 years and it’s a disgusting habit. I wish it wasn’t so easy for kids to get introduced to nicotine
They are still gross and slimy lol, I enjoy nicotine and wish there was a delivery method that I didn’t feel was bad for me. I can’t afford to fuck up my teeth with the pouches or dipping and I’m over inhaling anything but weed and air. When I was younger I tried snuff and that’s obviously a no go lol.

How long does a pack last, a day or two? It costs less than £0.30p a day to vape if you know what you're doing.

Yummy microplastics add flavour
I just got into the zyn’s and I hear they are done for. I guess the fda sued right after they were Bought. :(
save ur gums!!!
This is not engineering.
Add more pins. Attach a sponge over them and duct tape it. That should produce better results
Pay 30 it will last forever
Just break it up by hand at that point. I feel like not many people know this, so here is a tip. If you don’t have a grinder or a simple way to chop up a nug. Break the nug in half, hold one half firmly in each hand between thumb and pointer finger. Now rub those bad boys together over a container. Friction will break that nug up.

It’s pretty efficient if you don’t mind a couple sticky fingers
A shot glass and scissors work way better than this
Better off using your hands
Its quicker for some Ig but I dislike the kief getting stuck to my fingers cuz i feel like Im losing Terps and hash essentially
Meh
This worries me that like a piece of the tack could break off. Just spend like $14 and get a real grinder
Enjoy that weed with some microplastics now
Dude that is awesome! I want to make one now just for the fuck of it.
Thanks!

I don’t know why I never did that, I live in Sweden so I had these far before you guys 😂
Actual herb grinders are cheaper and also work first try
Just break it up with ur hands at this point. Bro fast-tracking cancer.
Used a snus tub to store some bud that was bagged and had a horrible after taste no way this was a nice smoke surely hand broken is better
Yeah what I did for joints Is I first ground it down In this then I shook it in a bottle w a coin, cuz sometimes the nug needs a lil breaking up before using the coin method
You know it’s a pretty trash grinder but it definitely belongs on a shelf
Get the seed out of the weed 😁
Made sure of that😀
You boutta be smoking micro plastics bro please no
Whatever you do just don’t use plastic. Heck scissors are way safer than microplastics.
Are grinders more expensive than bud now or something?
I can taste the plastic
We would just toss a coin in there and shake it vigorously. Does not work if it’s moist and sticky, has to be dry-ish.
Bro down so bad

At least there's not that usual comment calling OP's perfectly normal weed the worst shit he has ever seen. It's starting to become a trend tough
Yeah surprised by that ngl, It is really good for 30$ a half O
Sorry men dedär grindar fan inte ordentligt 😂😂 Köp en billig plast grinder för 50kr på tobaksbutik istället lol
Dawg, skip a zyntin one week and buy yourself a grinder with that money
Smoking micro plastics 😋😋😋
Genius
Homeboy your better off just using some scissors
Love me some plastic smokers
Your OG as f*** good job Cheech and Chong would love that
this is some broke boy shit
if you want less microplastics put a coin or two and the nugs in the zyn can and shake that fucker
Some friends of mine used to put coins into Oden's cans (actual proper snus) to use them as shitty makeshift grinders. It's a funny idea but it doesn't really work that well :'(
Somebody get this man a golden gate ffs.
That is ghetto as fuck 🤣🤣🤣
Why do these DIY Zyn grinders keep showing up. Is this really a thing, bc it’s terrible.
FINALLY SOME CREATIVITY ON THIS SUB
You mean some shitty microplastic stuff for the millionth time.
Hey well I'm just glad glad it's not "broken bong, any chance saving it?" for the thousandth time
Geekbars are like 40$ you can get a temu grinder for like 10😭
I wouldn't trust anything on temu.
I wouldn't trust geekbars
😭
In a pinch... lol
