Today we will teach you the fundamentals of preparing for your pipe so that you feel confident and experience smooth, crisp hits next time you kick back to enjoy some milky tokes.
A pipes consist of a bowl, a circular basin wide enough to hold the weed, as well as an airtight conduit through a mouthpiece that delivers smoke and air. In certain cases, a second air channel known as a carb is often used in pipes, which is used to control the airflow through the pipe. As long as a pipe contains at least the first two elements, you can smoke cannabis from it. In shape and size, as well as in complexity, functionality, and availability, pipes may differ widely.
Cannabis pipes today are commonly made using borosilicate glass, as the material is more durable then regular glass. Aluminum is also a common pipe material and is the most durable of all.
Due to its shape and basic form, a "spoon" is the most common type pipe and looks similar in shape to the kitchen utensil. Grinders can be purchased at almost any smoke store or head shop, or you can order one online from a variety of retail outlets. They can be as simple as a grinding card like a cheese grater for cannabis or a more complex multi-chamber device. As you might have guessed, a grinder is the tool you use to break your cannabis up into small bits for smoother-hitting bowls or for wrapping in rolling papers and blunt wraps.
A kief catcher refers to the bottom chamber below the screen that gathers all the potent crystal kief knocked off the buds in the grinding process.
You can scoop the kief out and add it to the top of your bowl, or use it later to press your own hash or cook edibles. The lid of the grinder attaches to this part, and metal grinders typically have a magnet to help keep things secure as you grind.
Step 1: Take off the top lid. While they can grind bud effortlessly, they tend to pulverize it into powder in the process — not the ideal consistency for optimizing airflow. The metal grinder functions similarly to a cheese grater — just rub the bud over the shredding surface. We recommend arranging the metal grinder card over a Pebble and rubbing the bud back and forth for a perfect grind with no mess. Grinder cards are manufactured with different grinding surfaces from fine to coarse for a range of uses.
These incredibly low-profile grinders save on size and weight by taking the shape of a standard credit card and sliding right into The Safety Case. There are quite a few nice grinder cards on Amazon with cool designs here. You can find that on Amazon here. A handle crank on top of a grinder allows for better traction when grinding your bud. Sometimes, the dank or sticky flower can refuse to budge because of overfill.

Grinders typically double as stash jars a lot of the time, why not combine the two? These grinders have their place for the right flower smoker.

The grinder card on the other hand, is slim, it looks exactly like a credit card, and slips right into a wallet purse without notice — you can literally store it anywhere.
As you may have guessed, the grinder card works just like a cheese grater. Slowly rubbing your bud along the metal surface will gently break it apart and prepare it for packing a bowl or rolling a joint.
The size of the holes in the card will dictate how fine or course the grind is — smaller holes equate to a finer grind and vice versa. First, set up a nice landing area so the ground buds fall in a place where you can collect them afterwards. We recommend placing the grinder card on top of a Pebble container to catch each of the shavings as you grate your cannabis.
Next, slowly rotate the bud as you shave it along the grinding surface. Once the large buds have broken up you can push the smaller bits through the holes and grind up the final pieces.
