ZenPen Stainless Steel Hash Grinder

Just heat up (apply flame with a lighter) the tip of the pen. After removing the inner needle – stick the end of the pen into your block of hash multiple times. This will create a perfect cylinder of hash. Now place the inner needle back to the pen and press to eject all the collected hash. As soon as this easy process is over, you will have a cylinder (tiny hose-like) that is ready to use.

You can add this “line of hash” directly to your joints. Or if you are a fan of smaller pieces, just use the other end of the pen (again, you can heat it up a bit) to cut the cylinder into smaller pieces. Then use those tiny pieces in your bowl or spliff.

Not only you will not make your hands and fingernails “hashy” – this tool also makes sure that your hash burns evenly, so you don’t have to worry about burning pieces dropping on your clothes and making those nasty burn holes.

Cannabis buds tend to get sticky and different parts of the buds can differ in density. That’s why it is important to use a special cannabis grinder to make your smoking experience more even and pleasurable. All cannabis grinders try to solve the same problem – weed grinders ground your buds to a more consistent form. Which leads to more equally burning joints, blunts, or hits of bongs/pipes.

The second very important role that cannabis grinders take on is minimizing contact between your hands (fingers) and buds. This is very important because using a cannabis grinder prevents trichomes and other main cannabinoids to get damaged or entirely removed from your smoke (meaning, they would stay as “dust” on your fingertips and nails). Better (4-part, 3 chamber) grinders will even allow you to collect this “superstrong powder” known as kief, so you can take advantage of the whole cannabis product to the maximum extent.

The most common grinders are either acrylic (plastic) or made from metal (mostly aluminum). Another notable exception is a wooden grinder, but wooden grinders are very difficult to clean and are shortlived compared to their acrylic or metal counterparts. When it comes to ease to clean, quality, and durability – metal (aluminum) grinders are the most commonly used cannabis grinders in the market!

This depends on your needs, but to sum it up – 1-2 chambers if you smoke rarely and don’t want to collect kief, 2-3 chambers if you smoke quite often and would love to collect kief. The bottom chamber, which is known as the kief chamber (if it has a mesh!) will collect fine trichomes and cannabinoids, collectively known as kief (or keef). Kief is way much more potent than any regular bud, due to the fact that it’s almost pure cannabinoid/terpene dust.
