I own 3 grinders, a cheapo off Etsy that’s inefficient and gets gunked up quickly, a BCG and. Flower Mill.
To my own surprise, I end up using the Flower Mill the most. I bought it because I was skeptical.
I’m gonna be honest. The feeling you get from the Flower Mill when the magnet gentle pulls the flower in as you roll it around os EXTREMELY satisfying. Endorphin rush.
BCG is a champ obviously and can cut through anything, but it’s ripping your herb vs rolling.
I haven’t don’t any bro science experiments to see while smokes better. I imagine with less of a fine grind I’m missing out on a little, but it is worth it.
The flower mill has a metallic dust issue in its design that even with a revision and a plastic ring solution does not fix. The company knows this and continues to sell the defective product. Also while it says it’s prominently made in the USA, they are not.
I fell for it like many others, just search Flowermill and dust and you can read the comments on Reddit and FC (FuckCombustion) from users.
Is this still an issue with the SS version?
I gave up on the company after seeing their business practices and wasting money on a “premium” paperweight with them and never looked back. Better grinders and better companies to support than these types, for me personally. I would argue unless they completely redesign their product the material won’t fix it, it will still rub at the same points because the design hasn’t changed.
Edit - checked and I have the SS version, so no lol. Also tried the plastic ring they sent that was their fix after the initial revision to the grinder, that didn’t work either. That’s the last the company said anything I heard.
Thanks for the information. The BCG is probably going to start getting more use.
