Grinder/storage options?
Howdy and Happy New Year!
Wondering if anyone has found an integrated large grinder and storage container that grinds into the ‘puck’ for easy grab and go use? I see Kannastor makes something for this purpose but reviews seem hit or miss plus it’s pricy. Any others I should be looking at?
Thanks!

@Reshi Was hoping to find some info here. I’m in the market for a new grinder too. Was looking at a slick cordless electric from Atman cuz my arthritis can be a bitch. They want $70 for one with a kief pot. The choices on amazon aren’t stellar. The hunt continues.
Have you looked at Diamond Grinders?

@justaguy I like that fixed-screen ergo model for ~$40 shipped. Can’t justify double the cost for the one with replaceable screens. The teeth generally wear out before the screens 🤷🏻♀️ Have you used these?
Spent over 2 hours shopping last night. Couple observations:
I’ll give the search mission another go this weekend.
I have a nice grinder. Don't remember the name of it, but it cost like $60. Now, I never use it because I prefer using my fingers so I don't miss out on any of the crystals.
@funkynugz - I used to have a 3 chamber grinder from Diamond. It had 2 catch screens, the first was good for joint rolling, the second screen was good for pipe smoking. The 3rd was for the keif.
I had to toss it into the ditch once to avoid the gestapo from finding it on me (along with my papers, rolling machine, and herb). A sad evening, but I didn't get caught.
As for the crap out there, yeah there is. If folks would put as much energy in making a good product as they do in making the crap, everyone would benefit from it.
Thanks @justaguy, diamond is definitely on my short list. I saw some larger diameter sizes too for @Reshi
Maybe a multi screen would be nice after all. Tho the wife was like NFW you’re spending 80 bucks on a new grinder when “yours works good enough.” 🙄
(if she only knew what the coin for the herb was costing me 😇)
@funkynugz - I don't recall the exact price I paid for the grinder I mentioned, but it was somewhere around $40 bucks, that was in 2009. As for the costs, heh heh. Yup, my wife would have given me some grief too were she still alive, but I could always fix something like that by letting her go to bingo.
Check out Platinum Grinders. I bought one about 5 years ago for $20 and it still works great. Love the grind and never clogs. Also has a screen at the bottom of the area where the ground herb falls. Some of the kief falls through the screen and collects below and you can use it as you please. Not the best grinder in the world, but the value is high. So am I...:-)
Pensimple is pretty neat. I had one up until I gave it away because I never used it. Not sure of capacity but it's a grinder, storage, & dispensing all from something that kinda similar to a pen with a hole for weed to fall through that's a little bigger than a nickle. I think I paid $50 for it direct from them or Amazon.
Well I got burnt out looking and just went with a 5-piece for $10 shipped that got lots of mostly good (IOW authentic) reviews. Plus it arrives tomorrow to my door, can’t ask for more. For now.

Side note: funny how many people bought this to grind actual herbs or coffee beans. 😄
I found a decent cost effective solution that I’m pretty happy about.
Got a $22 4-piece 2.5” Kozo paired with KANNASTOR GR8TR V2 Series Storage Puck. I remove the screen piece from the grinder and replace with my half puck and screw it back together. Decent fit and I brush off the excess around the rim and I’m done. I wish I could get different colored pucks for day/night differentiation but may have to keep an eye out for one besides black.
But @funkynugz the puck is black with black emblem name on it - nice clean look and finish. I see Kozo sells another version with integrated glass storage for a little more $ but I wanted sleek and stealthy. 😎
I prefer a hand crank style when my hands are hurting me so I might look down the road for a grinder for this purpose. The Kozo is smooth but not like butter so some manhandling might be in order. Nice grabbers on it makes it easy to hold and less likely to drop. All problems I’ve had with others. But it works.
Seems 2.5” may accommodate the smaller puck idea I’m thinking, depending on how they are threaded and clearance space in the unit. Trial and error like most things in life I suppose.
Happy grinding!!
@Reshi nice combo setup! I was looking at crank models as well but noticed many complaints about the crank arm breaking quickly, likely due to overfilling the grinder chamber I’m sure. My $10 dealio is ok. The holes are a little small, I may take a rat tail file and widen slightly and I haven’t seen the benefit yet of having two screen levels.
I love my kannastor the fine screen makes the perfect grind for vaping. The puck makes it so easy for me to store my next dose.🍀💚
That's something I've never invested in but probably should with the EQ. Just always assumed I was knocking off crystals grinding so I cut with scissors if rolling trying not to over handle. Had a pre roll I opened up to try out the EQ last night which worked well.
I don't have experience with alot of different kinds... But for $18, I love my Golden Bell brand grinder from eBay. Smooth action, above average quality (no burrs or unchamfered edges), nice grind, etc etc. Wouldn't quite call it premium.. but it's definitely not a cheapo, either.
Thought I'd throw that out there in case someone needs a simple, all bare metal, quality grinder. Check out Golden Bell . I wouldn't mind having a Diamond or some other top brand, boutique grinder.... But I'm not gonna pay $100.for one when I could order another bag for that lol
Yeah that's the other reason lol, I'd always rather get more than buy an accessory for something I'm gonna light on fire anyways lol but with vaping I might put more thought into considering it, was just never high on my list of needed items for some reason.
@v32Finish Ditto! Got me a sturdy grinder for $20 & it works. Thats all I need.
I have 3 grinders, but only use 1 as the other 2 suck, in my opinion.
The one I use was $15
Yeah I have a dozen laying around but the kannastor with the fine grind option works best for me and my EQ plus I like being able to grind into the puck and have my stash for the day on hand in my pocket. With extra pucks I keep one for my daytime bud and my nighttime bud. What ever works for me right lol.🤪
Oh yeah man, I REALLY like the kannastor puck pendant. When I'm tooling around in my wheelchair with my solo2. it's so easy to load out of when it's just hanging around with me. Lol
@MNTDWLER seems like we have the same setup! Love it! Smash smash, cap and go! PLUS! I put a tiny boveda nestled up into the lid so keeps my bud fresh as a daisy. I bought a couple other pucks that I actually like better now tho (Ondamata brand) - cheaper on Amazon and has an O ring so I can color code my stash. $10 can’t go wrong!
Wow thanks great price. Now what do I do with my other 2 pucks lol. Man I love this thing keep it clean and it's bullet proof. I do wish that they would make a different color for different buds. Separated at birth lol. Wonderful product and it should be for the price.
I know right!? @MNTDWLER as I get older I find I have to color code everything - so much easier for my feeble mind to retain. Can’t go wrong with more pucks!
I bought a new vape pen with a blackberry cart from MM and I somehow managed to lose it the very first day! Thought it would turn up but so far nothing. Wish I could blame the dog...but it’s been weeks now I think it’s gone for good 🤬
@Reshi Oh man sorry about the dog, maybe they'll both turn up. Your right as we get older thc processes us different lol. I'd color code my wife if it wouldn't pass off her boyfriend 😆. I recently got rid of a old couch I cut open the bottom and found 3 vape pens 2 dozen dead soldiers and a Chicago Cubs world series ticket stub LMAO. Plus one very lonely puck. I'm going to try an enamel pen on a puck and throw it in the oven at 350° for 30min I hope it works.🌡⏳
Wow! Some hidden treasure in that couch for sure! Nice to become reacquainted with some of our beloved long lost items...I will remain hopeful and start tearing up my furniture shortly! Probably after the Jager tonight LOL.
Please take a pic of your art project when it’s done! I can’t wait!
Yeah what I meant to say was a porcelain paint pen Big Orange 😖. I wouldn't recommend the couch thing, do you have any idea what accumulates in a couch in just a few years. I thought my latex training bra was gone forever. Your killing me smalls 🤣
BONUS BRA!!! Hahaha hope it’s still fits you! Wear in good health my friend! Maybe you can find the matching thong in the love seat?? 🤣
Damn now I GOTTA take a look at what’s lurking in mine!!
"Don't be scared'" it's fun to step out of your comfort zone every now and then. 🤣
