Dirge for a Kief Screen
A few months ago, after two years of faithful service (and near-constant abuse in the form of vigorous vibration at the hands of pocketknives, toothbrushes, lighters et cetera), the kief-filtering screen on my four-piece Sharpstone grinder gave out. Despite stellar performance in every other department, Sharpstone grinders (unlike some other brands) do not have a screen-replacement system.
No big deal, my four-piece is now a (slightly stealthier) three-piece, and still grinds all manner of cannabis to my satisfaction. But there are occasions upon which I’d give anything for that screen.
Pictured above is my finger after a casual swipe of the dish of my scale following the Maui Waui’s initial weigh-in. There’s just so, so much kief. It gets on my fingers when I handle the bud, and drops off onto various surfaces in my room, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s hard to smoke kief off of your finger.
I try not to imagine the dionysian sandscape that would currently occupy my kief chamber if I had my screen.
It’s hard.
