Why grind for a vaporizer?

A vaporizer heats your herbs instead of burning them, so the heat has to reach every piece. An even, medium-fine grind lets hot air through the whole chamber: better flavour, and your herbs go further.

Whole buds heat unevenly, and herbs ground too fine can pack tight and block the airflow. A good grinder gives you the same result every time.

Best herb grinders: our picks

Picks by Peter, who co-founded MagicVaporizers in 2013
I use a vaporizer every day myself, at home and on the golf course. Running the shop, I see which models customers love, which ones come back, and which still work years later. These are the grinders I'd recommend to a friend.
I update these picks every 3 months.

“I have made a few orders all have been hassle-free and fast delivery very happy”

How to choose a grinder

Four things decide which grinder fits you. Here is what to compare, and how our picks differ.

Two or four pieces

  • Two-piece: one chamber and no screen, quick to use, like the Santa Cruz Shredder 2-piece.
  • Four-piece: a storage chamber plus a screen that sifts fine pollen into the bottom, as in the Herb Ripper SS or Metal Space Grinder.

Material

  • Stainless steel: heavy and hard-wearing: the Herb Ripper SS.
  • Anodised aluminium: lighter to carry, as in the Santa Cruz Shredder and Metal Space Grinder.

Size

  • Pocket size: about 5 cm across, like the Metal Space Grinder or the 54 mm Santa Cruz Shredder.
  • Bigger batches: the Herb Ripper XL at 6.5 cm, or the Santa Cruz Shredder in 70 mm.

Grind

  • Fluffy and even: the flat-topped Santa Cruz teeth cut in several directions.
  • Finer when you want it: the Herb Ripper SS takes an optional fine plate.

Grinder FAQ

How fine should I grind for a vaporizer?

Medium-fine and even. Too coarse, and the heat does not reach the middle of each piece; too fine, and the herbs can pack tight and block the airflow.

Two-piece or four-piece grinder?

A two-piece grinds straight into one chamber and has no screen to look after. A four-piece adds a storage chamber and a screen that collects fine pollen in the bottom.

Do I need a grinder for a vaporizer?

For most vaporizers, yes. An even grind lets the heat reach all of your herbs, so you get more flavour from every session.

Stainless steel or aluminium?

Stainless steel, like the Herb Ripper SS, is heavier and very hard-wearing. Anodised aluminium, like the Santa Cruz Shredder, is lighter to carry.
