The Sharpstone also has fewer holes in the grinding components this means that the herbs stay longer inside the grinding chamber, allowing them to get ground up more. The Chromium Crusher has diamond-shaped teeth that grind the herbs very consistently, but if you compare them with those of the Sharpstone and its almost spiral-shaped grinding teeth, the Sharpstone can grind herbs finer. We all know that looks are immaterial, so let’s consider their performance. So in terms of style the Chromium Crusher beats the Sharpstone. The Chromium Crusher also feels more durable than the Sharpstone, primarily because the former is heavier than the latter. Based on design, the Chromium Crusher with its glossy black chrome finish looks a lot better than Sharpstone’s polished aluminum. To give you an idea of how Chromium Crusher fares against other famous brands, here is a comparison between it and another highly regarded brand of herb grinder, Sharpstone.įirst, take the look and feel of these two grinders. How Chromium Crusher Compares with Other Brands This means you can grind up a lot more herbs at one time than other grinders. Another feature that is great about Chromium Crusher is the deep container used to collect the ground up herbs when you compare it with other brands of the same size, the Crusher is almost 50 percent deeper. The 3 piece and above grinders include a fine mesh attachment that effectively collects crystals so they do not get mixed up with the ground up herbs. When holding it in your hands, the Chromium Crusher is heavier and actually feels sturdier than other brands.Ĭhromium Crusher grinders come in 2, 3, 4, and 5 piece sets. Unlike other grinders that are mostly composed of aluminum, Chromium Crushers are made from a composite alloy of stainless steel, aluminum and black chrome.
And if you’re going to spend more than the minimum to get a well-made grinder, having a company that will stand behind it is also nice, so we noted the warranty and support options from each company, too.If you want durability then you should get a Chromium Crusher grinder. The best models, in contrast, felt precision-machined, with seams that disappeared from sight and quietly glided across their threads. Some models felt cheap, squeaked and groaned when used, and had large, visible seams. But when we examined grinders in person and side by side, the variations in construction quality were obvious. In short-term testing, we can’t replicate the type of use and abuse a grinder is likely to see over years of ownership. The pressure-fit and glued-in magnets that hold on the top grinding plate can pop out. Acrylic tops can crack, and cross-threading two pieces when you’re screwing them together can damage the threads. Durability and support: A hunk of aluminum or steel isn’t easy to damage, but accidents happen.We looked for models that didn’t hold herbs hostage. Yes, a knock or two normally dislodges stuck buds, but sticky cannabis strains can stubbornly cling to tiny crevices. It’s no fun to sit around picking tiny leafy chunks out from between sharp metal teeth. Easy to empty: A good three- or four-piece grinder should let most of your material fall through the holes between the teeth and into the collection chamber.Because preferences and uses vary, in our testing we focused on smooth and even grinds more than on exact granularity.
To produce a finer grind, all you need to do is give your flowers a few extra twists with the grinder upside down that keeps the material from falling through the holes into the collection tray and creates finer results when you flip the grinder back over. A slightly coarser grind is more flexible, though. Buzz at prefers to get a finer grind for conduction vaporizers like our pick from Pax or something a little coarser that lets air through for convection vaporizers like the Firefly 2+. Evenness of grinds: Uniformly ground cannabis often heats more evenly, and thus more efficiently, than uneven chunks torn by hand.The shape, sharpness, and number of teeth all contribute to a model’s grinding ability. The best grinders have teeth that slice through these buds instead of binding while you try to force them through. No binding when grinding: Some modern cannabis strains can produce flowers with especially dense buds that are hard to grind.
