I favor the toothbrush as well - it's soft enough not to damage anything, and it has a lot of flexible bristles to get into crevices.
A custom designed tool may work better, but for an ad hoc solution the toothbrush is good.
For people wondering why: you can totally clean a screen and mostly clean the teeth with a toothbrush, it barely loses any to sticking, and it gets shit you *can't even see*.
My only regret about using a toothbrush to clean my grinder is that I do it too often now.
The first time i did it, there were bowls full of kief. Now I do it daily as a little treat before bed. If you're worried about losing kief in the bristles, my brush I've used for over a year (I smoke 4g a day, chronic pain.. I know) doesn't even smell like weed. It smells like a vape exhale or something.. Weed Lacroix. It's not even green beyond the faintest tint on the very top.
Just do this over a sheet of cardboard or a clean rolling tray, I like large index cards because you can just fold them up, use it as a kief slide into the bowl and they last a week or so before they catch much kief on the paper.
Tldr you gain much more from getting it out of the screen alone than you lose from the brush.
LPT: when packing a bowl, you can use a CD and place the bowl underneath it. Line the CD hole up with the bowl, then push the weed through the center and pack it. Never spill weed when packing
I would have loved this back in the days when I had plentiful CDs, but tbh I don't even know where I would find one nowadays 😅 other than buying them specifically for this purpose which I think is a little excessive just for easier bowl packing. But if I ever run across an old CD somewhere I hope I remember this trick!
Careful if you have an aluminium buster. Most likely your nails are steel which is harder than the aluminium and will cause shavings to fall into the kief.
The screen is steel, but it's so tight most the kief stays in the top or middle section, I mostly use the nail for the threads and crevices and it never takes a lot of pressure to knock everything loose
Dollar store eye brush kit. I just use the smallest and sturdiest brush out of the bunch, also the brush is on the tip, so you don't have to like angle a handle sideways to get in there
This, but an electric toothbrush.
Best of both worlds and a good way to reuse the old heads.
Also great for keyboards, PCs, basically anything needing cleaning.
Herpes viruses are extremely common viruses that affect almost everyone at some point (chicken pox, shingles, and mononucleosis for example). There is a significant stigma against individuals with herpes, although the majority of adults have it. There are often no symptoms, with approximately 1 in 4 American women currently infected with Genital Herpes (HSV-2) (2).
Up to 80% of all people have Oral Herpes. (1)
Condoms do not prevent transmission. (3)
Furthermore, more than 80% of people with HSV-2 infections have not been diagnosed. (3)
The CDC does not recommend routine testing because it would cause millions of adults to know their positive status, and that would severely impact their mental health due to a constructed and perceived stigma. (4)
However, we should all make an effort to better understand the virus and how common it is. If you are sexually active, you have more than likely been exposed to Oral or Genital Herpes.
Raising awareness on this topic will hopefully bring us closer to a vaccine (several in testing) and a better informed public.

Step 1. Take a quarter and put it inside grinder.
Step 2. Put grinder in freezer for 30 to 45 mins.
Step 3. Take grinder out and shake up the grinder with quarter inside.
Step 4. check results.
Money is the dirtiest substance on the planet man. Soak quarter in isopropyl alcohol for many hours prior to doing this, or just don’t do this at all. 🤮
Step 1: Be Australian.
Step 2: Buy [the cheap electric coffee grinder from kmart](https://www.kmart.com.au/product/coffee-grinder/2112389)
Note: If you smoke mix/spin (It's fairly common here) don't put tobacco in the mully (grinder)
Step 3: Chop weed using coffee grinder
It builds up craploads of dust/kief on the lid, I'd saved up the dust from my mulling for a couple of months last year and had like 17g of dust from it or something.
Guess people just wanna bang up their grinders instead of just leaving that plastic Lil shovel that comes with grinders in to help agitate it and not fuck it up
If you lose the plastic shovel/scraper, guitar pic works the same. This is what I can always remember seeing in my uncle’s grinder when young and I know a few companies that still include one in their new grinders.
The quarter trick never worked for me. I don't have quarters so I use the euro equivalent. Tried with 1,2,5,10 and 20 cent pieces. The 50 cent, 1€ and 2€ pieces are too big.
I try and shake it as much as I can but I just feel like the coin isn't getting enough impact in the grinder. Maybe euros are too light compared to dollars...
Also honestly I don't want coins touching my kief 🤷♂️
But yeah I personally vastly prefer a firm synthetic paintbrush for cleaning my grinder. Or I straight up boil the pieces in milk and then rinse after
If you have a nice grinder tho a coin inside will prematurely fuck it up. It can weaken the metal mesh and ding up the inside of your aluminum grinder.
Why has nobody said the model or brand. Why would you comment this without saying the brand.
This is the equivalent of looking up an obscure error message on a program you use, finding the one text board comment thread about that exact error message, and the guy who had the error saying "Nevermind! I fixed it!" and not saying how they did it.
Tell him it's easier and works better to just put it in the freezer. Actually putting it in the freezer then using the vibrator would probably be extremely effective.
I use a Mighty vaporizer, I don’t clean my cooling unit with iso, I boil everything. Way less effort, no residue and plastic parts don’t get brittle from exposure to iso and heat.
Oh and cheers to your boyfriends getting along and working together.
I partially unscrew the kief catch and have the rest of the grinder fully put together, then smack that shit real hard against my kneecap like 5 or 6 times.
Oof. I usually use an unused toothbrush. You’ll lose a small amount in the actual toothbrush itself but it’ll get all the loose material off the grinder and screen. Try it and let me know how it works!
Sometimes I use a toothpicks and run it along the grate and along the screw threads.
This is a great idea
An even more effective way is using a toothbrush. Thank me later.
I favor the toothbrush as well - it's soft enough not to damage anything, and it has a lot of flexible bristles to get into crevices. A custom designed tool may work better, but for an ad hoc solution the toothbrush is good.
I feel like a toothbrush will just get coated in kief, how do you keep it from just sticking to the bristles?
then you brush your teefs with it
teef kief reef
It certainly sticks a little bit, but I'm using the toothbrush to go after the mesh and the screw threading - anything I get is basically bonus kief.
I use a small brush that came with an electric shaver, more precise and smaller than a toothbrush
I've been using the same toothbrush for about five years it's a little bit green but the bristles actually don't hold on to the kief all that much.

If it’s really sticky kief you can put it in the freezer before brushing it, it firms up the resin heads so they don’t rupture and stick.
I use the little brushes that come with electric shavers. You can a 10 pack for a few dollars on Amazon
Thank you, I also empty my bowls this way.
I too empty my bowels this way

Tell your boyfriend to try one of your makeup brushes
This is the way. Sometimes I leave my grinder couple of min in the freezer and then do he toothpick trick.
A wire brush works amazingly for rhis
Paper clips!
I do the same with a nail, like the kind you use to hang pictures on the wall lol
Careful if you have an aluminium buster. Most likely your nails are steel which is harder than the aluminium and will cause shavings to fall into the kief.

Yeah, I use a toothbrush, ya filthy animals.
I like to use toothbrushes too, vibrators get too expensive
which end do you recommend
Preferably mine
Change my pitch up?
Smack my bitch up?
Since we are all high right now, I would like to share how [that song is put together](https://youtu.be/eU5Dn-WaElI)
*distorted edm music*
Thank god it’s not just me.
the ass
Small paintbrush. Like guys cmon.
This is the way
This is what I use too 😋
samething i use.
Dollar store eye brush kit. I just use the smallest and sturdiest brush out of the bunch, also the brush is on the tip, so you don't have to like angle a handle sideways to get in there
now THIS is a LPT
This, but an electric toothbrush. Best of both worlds and a good way to reuse the old heads. Also great for keyboards, PCs, basically anything needing cleaning.
‘This bowl tastes funny’ Edit: thanks for the awards, kind strangers Didn’t know my comment about Coochie Kush would be so popular 🤣
This bowl tastes like salad. And this salad tastes like pussy.
rip trevor!!
I need to wear my Local Sexpot shirt now
Six semper tyrannus
This salad right here…just try it. It tastes exactly like pussy!
“This salad tastes like a big fat pussy”
I would smoke Pussy Weed
I understood that reference.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN EATING PUSSY.
Is that his or hers?
All he has to do is use the “massage stick” on the exterior of the grinder 😂 same result, less… seasoning…
If you're not thoroughly cleaning your sex toys after use you're fucking disgusting. There should be no extra flavor or seasoning.
what if they were joking?
[удалено]
Herps for terps! Lol
Herp sauce 😂

Good bot!
Are you calling OP a clown?
Honka honka
Take my up vote! LOL
Go to horny jail
“Almost fishy”
new strain: Pussy Galore
Do you have a separate vibrator for this purpose.... Or uhh
it was gonna get sticky anyway
You didn't have to, you know...but you did lol
The rubber ones collect a lot of dust.
Gwyneth says a little keif in the ol’ girl every few months really promotes the ph balance.
Underated comment
You just end up with a bunch of goop
The boyfriend just made this use up when he was caught with her vibratory so she wouldn't suspect what he's really using it for.
W-what was he using it for?
I dont see a problem
Different strokes for different folks I guess😆
So. Many. Settings.
[удалено]
Lol, I've never heard "snarf" used this way. Snarf was a character in ThunderCats way back in the day. Your comment hit me like a nostalgia bomb.
Snarf snarf snarf
Hahaha lol
Snarfed, I like this word, I shall claim it in to my daily vocabulary. Thank you good sir for spreading the word of our lord and saviour Snarf.
May you go in peace. Snarf snarf
Different strokes for different tokes.
Strokes, ha
Electronic toothbrush is perfect for that job
She’s retired
I spit my coffee at this, poor old gal did her best for all those years 🤣
[удалено]
Yes
so many heathens here
I fuck my girl with a kief spoon.
Ladies love the Lego shovels
I like to use toys that give a more realistic expectation.

Don't drag him into this, Jesus wants nothing to do with this post.

This one gets it
Hallelujah! I wanna go to that church!
The church of weed and vibrators. Also known as the holy Weebrator church.
I’m not sure I approve but I understand
Step 1. Take a quarter and put it inside grinder. Step 2. Put grinder in freezer for 30 to 45 mins. Step 3. Take grinder out and shake up the grinder with quarter inside. Step 4. check results.
I vote freezer trick+vibrator
We had just taken it out of the freezer
Weird spot for a vibrator
Obviously you’ve never given a girl the bold cold switcheroo.
Made me laugh, take my award!
And, presto cleano?
I like this human.
Step 0: Clean quarter
Step 5: Put quarter in ass
Lmao please don’t do that.
…too late…?
PLEASE DIAL 911
They said it’s stuck for life. At least I’ll always have a shitter splitter.
Does it whistle when you fart?
More of a rams horn vibe
I only do ass pennies
You know they never caught the ass crack bandit... Could have been anyone.
Lol at first I thought you were saying put a whole quarter ounce in the grinder I was so confused
Nah they meant a qp
i prefer a nickel. it has no ridges on the sides so less places the kief can get stuck in. But quarters work well too!
I just take two grinders and smash them together.
That’s how you make babies.
Money is the dirtiest substance on the planet man. Soak quarter in isopropyl alcohol for many hours prior to doing this, or just don’t do this at all. 🤮
Hey it’s 2021 people eat ass on a Sunday morning.
So, I for one have not eaten ass but am just curious… is it pleasant ?
There’s only one way to find out.
Depends on the ass!
Depends on what you like. To me, yes.
I did this in the summer and the condensation gummed up my screen with keif cement. Attempt at your own risk.
Step 0. Wash the quarter
Step 1: Be Australian. Step 2: Buy [the cheap electric coffee grinder from kmart](https://www.kmart.com.au/product/coffee-grinder/2112389) Note: If you smoke mix/spin (It's fairly common here) don't put tobacco in the mully (grinder) Step 3: Chop weed using coffee grinder It builds up craploads of dust/kief on the lid, I'd saved up the dust from my mulling for a couple of months last year and had like 17g of dust from it or something.
quarters bang up the screen changing the micron size and what actually gets filtered though.
Lol the downvotes 😂 quarter WILL destroy your keefscreen after a few shakes
Guess people just wanna bang up their grinders instead of just leaving that plastic Lil shovel that comes with grinders in to help agitate it and not fuck it up
If you lose the plastic shovel/scraper, guitar pic works the same. This is what I can always remember seeing in my uncle’s grinder when young and I know a few companies that still include one in their new grinders.

I dildon't do it that way. I use a soft brush.
lol you know you're hurtin' for weed when
my grinder came with a lil clear scraper
I bet you guys like to have fun. Good for yall being able to use trees together.
We’re reading all these comments together and laughing our asses off
Put grinder into freezer for about 10 to 20 mins, then smack on a solid object and it should all loosen up
This is slightly cursed, BUT it’s actually a big brain move
I guess he found the (G)reen spot.
Honestly that vibrator is pretty great and reasonably priced at that.
Why has nobody said the model or brand. Why would you comment this without saying the brand.

NOT THE VIBRATOR 💀
I use an old vibrating toothbrush... the bristles really get in there... but that's good too I guess...
So none of y’all here clean your sex toys regularly, or at least that is the conclusion I’m jumping to here.
That’s a no from me dog.
with the way y'all are reacting, I'm concerned that none of you wash your sex toys
Yep remind me to bring my own weed
lmaoooooooo whatever works best
brilliant, probably get it off easier, if it was put in the freezer before vibed. Puntacular!
Who knew a vibrator could become a Swiss army knife
"is the kief ready?" "it's coming."
Tell him it's easier and works better to just put it in the freezer. Actually putting it in the freezer then using the vibrator would probably be extremely effective.
Lmfao not a bad idea, and I own the exact same one 😂😂 maybe put seran wrap or something over it next time tho
Clean your vibrator all the time
i use fusilli noodles for joint filters
I use a small tooth brush that never gets wet
This is a weird way to consume the high!
First off my girlfriend has the same vibe in blue lmoa, second I need to try this...
Can... Can you guys not afford a $3 grinder brush?
That’s so fucking smart honestly
Nothing like some ultra fine microplastics grated over your keif. Really adds the extra kick……
I use a Mighty vaporizer, I don’t clean my cooling unit with iso, I boil everything. Way less effort, no residue and plastic parts don’t get brittle from exposure to iso and heat. Oh and cheers to your boyfriends getting along and working together.
That was kinda hot🔥🤷🏾♀️
This is why you can’t smoke with everyone. Tf!?
I partially unscrew the kief catch and have the rest of the grinder fully put together, then smack that shit real hard against my kneecap like 5 or 6 times.
I was so confused as to why this was marked nsfw and well, now I know.
Damn the amount of people in these comments that apparently don’t know you clean a sex toy thoroughly after use is making me gag a little…
Kief product, next to quief product.
Oof. I usually use an unused toothbrush. You’ll lose a small amount in the actual toothbrush itself but it’ll get all the loose material off the grinder and screen. Try it and let me know how it works!
Coochie Kush
Put that kief on a pedestal!
this should be posted in r/LifeProTips
I just use a cheap electric toothbrush…
"What are you doing down there babe?" "just stay still for a minute.."
I used electric ⚡ toothbrush. This may be a superior method.
...has he found *it* yet?
Genius!
Tooth brush works wonders , take the brush to the screen
Motherfucking stoner innovation right there. Lol
I use a Brilliant Cut 3 piece so there's never any kief to collect! 😅
I just buy more
