Quick Way to Rub Out Flakes

[bent1]

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob

Found this useful for rubbing out flakes. It’s listed as a grinder though I’d describe it as more a cutter. The lid is held to the body with a magnet inset in both lid & body of cutter. Place flake inside, press down the top & give a couple twists. Remove the lid to remove the cut tobacco. There is a nylon gasket that keeps both aluminum pieces from rubbing together. It’s about the size of a hockey puck, 2-7/8” diameter. It can accommodate two 2” long strips, enough to fill a group 3 chamber.

I have same device but it’s says Uber on it. I bought it at a head shop in Galveston. And I use it for more than just flakes.

For instance I mentioned in another thread how Presbyterian Mixture became more palatable to me after I chopped it up in the grinder. And I like being able to trickle smaller pieces of tobacco into the bowl.

I've had good success with a coffee bean grinder. In fact, using a grinder is the only way I've gotten FVF to burn like other tobaccos. The coffee grinder is also a good way to mix different tobaccos -- if you're into that sort of thing.

They call that the “bud buster” round these parts.

I guess this is the grinder sold in head shops. I see them offered when I go in to pick up my wife CBD for her Parkinson's. I will take a closer look next time. Could definitely be the answer to my problems with plugs, flakes, coins etc. thanks for the education.

That is indeed a reefer grinder. See no reason why it wouldn’t work for tobacco though. Wonder if one with a keef screen would eventually collect a nice plume cake

Lol yah you already know. With the keef screen you'd probably get snuff haha

My goodness, I'm getting one to try this for sure! Thanks for the idea!

I bought one (not as sophisticated) a while ago, haven’t given it a try yet. Glad to hear the concept has merit.

Errrrr. Weed grinder?

Yep. I think it'll work great. I have a Space Case (a good one) hanging around somewhere. Once I find it I'll give it a try with some SG flake.

That seems like a good idea, but how does your coffee taste after that?

I have what I think is probably an even smaller version of the same hand grinder that works nicely for flake or coin/plug/rope, or reducing the size of larger and/or uneven cuts to make the burn more even. I can do a bowl or two in a few minutes.

You guys have definitely opened my eyes to possibilities.

I’d be curious to see the ground result. I feel like it will make a lot of dust and tiny pieces.

Erinmore looks like this. Best to do it before drying.

and if it's semois then it's really strong and wonderful snuff unlike anything else.

I bet I have one of those laying around somewhere. Never would have thought to use it for tobacco.
