Is there a reason to wash a grinder though? It's just weed, and you're not cooking in it.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Over time all the oils and particles will start to build up in the grinding area and the screw threading, making it harder to use or get stuck entirely.

Oh, so can you just use that solution that cleans pipes and bongs?

I think I smoke so infrequently that I've never had that buildup yet

My bad, I interpreted “wash” as just cleaning in general. Yeah, there’s not much point in putting it through a dishwasher unless you’re just being lazy

Oh so just using a dry brush should do the trick?

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Depends how much gunk is on there, but if you do it somewhat regularly it could. Though you’ll definitely need to give it a proper cleaning eventually, as it’s still gonna get sticky from all the oils and such.

Shouldn’t be very often, though. Depending on how much you smoke, you may only need to do it once a year or even less than that

You can, but kosher salt and 91% isopropyl + a Ziploc bag does better for cheaper

The only time I've used the fancy shit (my personal preference is kryptonite cuz it's set and forget) on my grinder was when it was megafucked after my mom had it a while.

She couldn't use it anymore cuz she has arthritis and it had funked up. I don't have arthritis and I couldn't move it holy shit
