Risposta rapida

Gli accessori essenziali per smerigliatrici includono: raschietti pollinici/kief (per raccogliere Kief dalla camera), spazzole per la pulizia (per manutenzione), monete per macinare (aumenta la raccolta di Kief 20-30%), pacchetti di umidità (impedire la cannabis da essiccare) e contenitori per la conservazione (mantieni la cannabis macinata fresca). La maggior parte delle smerigliatrici di qualità include un raschietto di base; altri accessori sono venduti separatamente.

• Pulisci angoli e schermi stretti

Tipi di raschiatori

Raschiatori inclusi:

• Bordo migliore per raschiare
• $ 2-5 per opzioni di qualità

Raschietti a pala:

Spazzole per la pulizia

Perché i pennelli contano

Le spazzole adeguate rendono la manutenzione più facile ed efficace:

• raggiungere i solchi dei denti
• Pulisci gli schermi senza danni
• Rimuovere la resina dai fili
• prolungare il tempo tra le pulizie profonde

Tipi di spazzole per la pulizia

Spazzole rigide piccole:

• Simile allo spazzolino da denti ma più piccolo
• Setole rigide per la rimozione della resina
• Indispensabile per la manutenzione regolare
• $ 2-5 per pennelli di qualità

Spazzole per la pulizia dello schermo:

• Setole più morbide
• Non danneggerà la maglia fine
• Specificamente progettato per schermi Kief
• $ 3-6 in genere

Spazzole bifacciali:

• Setole rigide su un'estremità
• Setole morbide su altre
• Miglior versatilità
• $4-8 range

Spazzole per chitarra/fili:

• Setole di metallo
• pulizia molto aggressiva
• Solo per accrescimento di resina pesante
• Può graffiare i metalli più morbidi

Manutenzione della spa

Anche i pennelli hanno bisogno di cure:

• Pulire i pennelli dopo l'uso (toccare i detriti)
• Immergere periodicamente l'alcol isopropilico
• Sostituisci quando le setole si appiattiscono
• Non usare lo stesso pennello per scopi diversi

Monete macina

cosa sono

Una moneta di smerigliatrice è una piccola moneta pesante o un disco posizionato nella camera centrale (sopra lo schermo) per aiutare a far cadere più Kief attraverso lo schermo.

Come funzionano

Quando agiti il macinino dopo aver macinato:

• La moneta si muove intorno alla camera
• Elimina i tricomi dalla cannabis macinata
• spinge Kief attraverso la maglia dello schermo
• Aumenta la raccolta di Kief del 20-30%

Le migliori monete da usare

Monete di valuta:

• Nickel americano (buon peso, liscio)
• Nichel canadese (simile)
• Monete in euro (varie opzioni buone)

Nota di pulizia: Sanitize coins before use - soak in isopropyl alcohol and dry completely.

Monete dedicate al macinino:

• Progettato specificamente per smerigliatrici
• spesso pesato perfettamente
• A volte di marca o decorativo
• $ 3-10 a seconda del materiale

Tecnica della moneta

1. Metti la moneta pulita nella camera centrale

2. Macinare la cannabis normalmente

3. Smerigliatrice per toccare il palmo 5-10 volte

4. Shake grinder side-to-side

5. Repeat tapping

6. Check kief catcher - noticeably more!

Important: Don't shake too aggressively or plant material (not just kief) will push through.

Humidity Control

Why Humidity Matters

Cannabis moisture level affects:

• Grinding consistency
• Kief production
• Flavor and potency
• Smoke smoothness

Too dry: Harsh smoke, excessive kief loss, brittle material

Too moist: Gummy grind, clogs grinder, potential mold

Humidity Packs

What they do: Maintain consistent humidity in storage containers.

Popular brands:

• Boveda (most popular, 62% or 58% RH)
• Integra Boost (similar function)
• RAW Hydrostone (reusable terracotta)

How to use:

1. Place pack in storage container with cannabis

2. Pack absorbs or releases moisture as needed

3. Replace every 2-6 months (when pack hardens)

For grinder use: Store ground cannabis with humidity pack if not using immediately.

Hydrostone Alternative

Terracotta stones (like RAW Hydrostone):

• Soak in water for 5 minutes
• Pat dry and place with cannabis
• Releases moisture slowly
• Reusable indefinitely
• $3-8 for quality options

Storage Solutions

Storing Ground Cannabis

Ground cannabis loses potency and flavor faster than whole buds. Proper storage is essential.

Glass Jars:

• Best for freshness
• Airtight seal
• UV-blocking options available
• Various sizes for different amounts

Metal Containers:

• Durable and smell-proof
• Good for travel
• Less visibility (can't see contents)
• Often come with grinders

Silicone Containers:

• Non-stick surface
• Great for sticky cannabis
• Easy to clean
• Various sizes available

Kief Storage

Kief requires special consideration:

• Extremely fine and easy to lose
• Sticks to many surfaces
• Can clump with humidity

Best kief storage:

• Small glass jars with wide opening
• Silicone containers (kief won't stick)
• Dedicated kief boxes with multiple chambers

Complete Storage Systems

Some manufacturers offer full systems:

• Main storage compartment
• Grinder integration
• Kief collection area
• Rolling tray surface
• $20-50+ for quality systems

Homemade Solutions

When DIY Works (and Doesn't)

DIY works for:

• Basic scrapers
• Cleaning brushes
• Temporary solutions

Worth buying:

• Quality brushes (last longer, work better)
• Grinder coins (better than currency)
• Humidity packs (can't DIY this)
• Storage containers (proper seals matter)

Accessory Kits

All-in-One Options

Many brands sell complete accessory kits including:

• Scraper/poker tool

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a grinder coin?

Not essential, but highly recommended for 4-piece grinder users who want to maximize kief collection. The 20-30% increase in kief makes the small investment worthwhile.

How often should I replace my scraper?

Quality metal scrapers can last years. Replace plastic scrapers when they crack or become too worn to scrape effectively. If your scraper is bending or breaking, upgrade to metal.

Can I use any brush for cleaning?

Use brushes with bristles that won't damage your grinder. Soft bristles for screens, stiffer bristles for teeth. Avoid wire brushes on anodized finishes - they can scratch.

Conclusion

The right accessories transform your grinding experience from basic to optimal. Start with essentials (quality scraper and brush), then add accessories based on your usage level and preferences.

Most importantly, actually use your accessories - they only help if you incorporate them into your routine.
