The keif is for when you run out of weed and want to smoke a bowl and then you remember you’ve been saving it for the past month 😂 I think of it as a gift to my future self
I had a grinder in my highschool years that I didn’t know had a kief catcher. 2 years later at lake with with friends this one girl opened that compartment and we were all amazed at this crazy dense kief creation that fell out. All in one piece
Kief is my favorite concentrate when made properly. A combination of sifting screens can produce a high purity product that liquefies like mercury when a flame is applied. Really cool and even tastier!
I think most of us old school smokers (those of us that lived through this modern prohibition era where weed wasn't so readily available and everywhere) save it for those rainy days. Kinda like how people who lived through the depression kept on living like they were in the depression for decades to come. Force of habit I guess.
Proud OG and adamant kief saver here! It's bitter sweet only having discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but on the brightside, I've been enjoying some episodes every night this week after my evening bowl. Keep up the good work, keep educating the next generation!
when you're adding kief to a joint, just add some on top so the first half of the joint hits harder. you want that initial onset to hit hard, especially if you smoke a lot
well if you like potent hits, I don't see why you smoke joints. I never got it personally, they impart a paper flavour, and the hits are diluted with paper smoke, and it's just way easier to get giant, potent hits with bongs, and they don't continue to burn. Bong is just more efficient in every way. That's me though, it's a fierce debate hah.
LOVE. The way this man made this video, super clear, lotta easy to consume info, great facts and a calm voice. Keep it up my man (Ik this is an old video but I’ll be checking out your others sir)
I’ve always felt kief collectors were useful when weed was illegal(or if you live somewhere it still is) it was a bit of thc saved up that you could smoke when supply was short in an unpredictable illegal market. Personally I have pretty much only smoked weed in a legal market with essentially unlimited supply. If I run out I go to the store and buy more. So having the kief in my weed to get me more high seems more useful to me.
I don't know how many times back in the day my 4 piece space case came in clutch. Especially when you'd open it and these was more than you thought, what a great feeling. I'm spoiled now, just vaped some ice water hash with my mighty
Here me out. Its an indiscriminately small difference in high if you keep the keif catcher or leave it, so you might as well keep it and accumulate your keif for when you have a little bit of bud left, but if you don’t have that issue you can also accumulate it to just make a batch of ground bud a little better noticeably when you have a good amount of keif saved
Personally I save the kief. The way I look at it the ground flower is obviously going to be less potent if some of the kief is separated through a screen, but that's not necessarily bad. Like if I'm getting satisfactorily medicated with the "missing kief" flower then that keeps my tolerance lower than if I found that high unsatisfactory and need that extra bit of kief to get as medicated as I'm used to. So essentially I look at it as a way to keep my tolerance slightly lower, plus it's still super satisfying to scoop through a nice thick pile of kief and even if it's lost potency it should be a little more potent than whatever flower you got it from (especially since you smoked it without the kief). They do sell kief here but usually it's more $/THC than flower is so I've only bought it once or twice for fun, but if the price went down on kief to be closer to flower then I might consider just using my kief and buying some more often when I want extra.
That's a good point. Once weed gets to a certain strength, it's strong enough and totally satisfactory. So taking out the concentrated, potent kief, it's like making strong weed last longer, but slightly weaker. And these days, it's still likely super strong.
@@JunkBondTrader Not to mention whatever type of grinder you're using, it gets caked with keif and residue regardless. I have 2, 3, and a four piece. Half the time I use the three piece because of its size, it's a santa cruz shredder all aluminum, you should see how much get stuck on the bottom. Two piece same thing, at least with the 4 piece it has a spot to collect and be more pure. What's nice is when the 4 piece is all caked up, I tap it with a little wooden spoon or stick and it gets all that down to the bottom collection plate. Sorry for the long story, but I totally agree. I bet if you did a blind test nobody could tell which was ground with which.
I view it like the kief that falls off the bud came from the bud. I went from a 4 piece to a 2 piece and use a small brush to empty the bottom of the grinder container and the underside of the grinder part into whatever when I'm using it. I like to keep it all together.

As a j smoker, saving kief is a complete waste of time. Hell, I could die tomorrow. I just grind my buds up with my fingers and smoke all day keef the day it falls off the bud!
you are not getting the majority that falls off the bud without a kief catcher and even then not 100%....i dont think you realize how much falls of when breaking it up by hand, its going all over your hands your rolling tray and the floor....when you spend cash you do not throw away the change do ya
@@christopher_martin no but you don't have to put in effort to keep change. Maybe the tiny loss in potency isn't worth the effort hah. In Canada, at least, weed is so damn cheap now, like dirt cheap, I don't even bother with kief. I don't shake the grinder at least, and it builds super slow.
With most 4 piece grinders you can just take oit the section with the mesh so that the weed goes straight to the bottom of the grinder and no keif is separated.
I like to smoke what I put in my grinder, not a watered down version stripped of some cannabinoids via a micron screen. I also just don't prefer to do entire kief bowls as a normal flower bowl (with all keif intact) with get me plenty high if not a little too high.
I like putting a layer or two of kief in my flower bowls to really get myself baked. I learned that it burns away into wasted thc at the high temperatures of a lighter much easier than real flower, so instead I put it under the flower so the cherry will make it into vapor before it actually touches and burns it. Lighters are like 2x as hot as the evaporation temp for kief so it’s best not to let the lighter touch it. Kief also continues to burn for awhile so it helps keep your bowls lit.
this week i still had some mid left but then i remembered i had a good amount of kief in my grinder and that shit got me blasted. I think for regular smokers it doesn't matter but for occasional smokers i reckon its worth it to save.
I do this as well. I lightly tap the bowl to get the kief actually in the bowl not just on top. That way when your flame comes down it wont burn the kief directly it will vaporize from the heat of the combusted flower material thats on top. Hope that made sense haha.
A story from a friend: they were at their friend's house and he had realized his grinder had an extra chamber (the keif chamber). It was PACKED full of keif. Like could not fit anymore. Standing in the kitchen next to a trashcan he says "ew wtf is this sand" and just slaps it on the inside wall of the trashcan dumping all of it.
I have smoked weed over 30 years old and it still hit pretty damn good it had an odd taste as if it had been through a laundry cycle, but other than that it got me a high i have never had before and it was actually enjoyable. Thanks for reading this random comment...👍🥵
Me and my homeboy back in high school used to always be in the struggle when it came to getting some bud. One time we ran out of the gas and my mans got the kief filter and put it on top of the bowl and started lighting that jawn. Desperate times
I used to save kief until I realized it was just separating components of the weed that were already in there. So your flower gets weaker and you are just adding back in the stuff that fell on a screen. It's a placebo effect.
When you get good weed and don’t have a very high tolerance it’s pretty nice. I get high just fine off of one good bong hit or a small .2 bowl, no kief included. I don’t always wanna get stoned, but sometimes when I do I break the kief out and I’ll get there no problem. For the record I smoke about every day but I regularly take little 3-4 day tolerance breaks after I run out and I stay pretty good
I feel no different smoking weed grinded with a kief catcher and smoking weed without one. Its literally adding to your reserves with very little taken away.
what ive taken to doing is putting all my sugar leaves from badly or untrimmed buds in the catcher, cause im not gonna smoke that green and its damn near free asf keif cause i would have typically thrown them out anyways.
i cant tell you how many times ive ran out of weed during a PTSD episode only to open my grinder to find all the kief. its like puttin your hand in cold water after burnin yourself lol its always a good backup imo. i cant tell if its weaker or not because i havent smoked "fresh" kief before i guess
I remember when those grinders with the screens first came out about 20yrs ago. I never owned one and never will. Have had a sifting screen box for about 18yrs, been gardening years longer than that
I always end up saving up my kief and never really using it that much. But I do keep a list of all different varieties in my kief jar and right now I have 103 different strains in there.
I keep the bottom half of my grinder, aka kief catcher, in a mason jar with a 55% RH Integra Boost pack 😎 I just take it out whenever I need to grind something, then it goes right back in!
I'm 44... Been smoking for around 30 yrs. Basically since I was 14. Usually I smoke joints or use a one hitter that I keep in a dugout. No grinder for me. I'm a minimalist. A grinder is just something extra that I have to worry about. Whenever I roll a joint I just break the bud up with my fingers. Whenever I'm through smoking I toss the roach in my cigar case. Over time the roaches build up and I roll a roach joint (1st gen roach joint) and toss the roach from that in a different cigar case. These 1st gen joints add up and I roll a joint with those (2nd gen roach joint). You see where I'm going with this. The goal is to eventually get to a 10th gen roach joint. In all my years of smoking I've never made it as far as a 3rd gen. I used to be big into bongs, hookahs and pipes in my teens and early 20s. Because pot is illegal in KY, paraphernalia is a no-no. Tossing pipes and throwing away bongs got old and I decided to just keep it simple.
why does every grandpa stoner on earth do this thing with the "generations" of roaches? What is the goal? Really stinky roaches? Its a pointless ritual and nothing more, and it's ironic because it's always the "minimalist" who won't even use a grinder because that's just too much stuff maaan but they'll carry around stinky pill bottles full of roaches to put into their bigger jar of stinky roaches at home. The reason you're still hippy picking your weed is because your guy has been selling you mid grade trash the last 15 years. Good nugs are way too tight to break up by hand it's just a pain in the ass. My point is I see your mid 40s BeenThereDoneThat and I raise you my mid 30s ShutUpOldMan.
One of the highest times I have ever been was after taking a year off smoking and my buddy bought some freshly sifted kief from local grower we known for years but never bought kief before that but that shit was 🔥 one small bowl of pure kief split between two of us and I was done for the night lol but I don’t save my kief though I use a loose grind or hand break my bud on the daily
I cherish my kief. I put a penny in the flower chamber and rattle the hell out of it. It knocks a lot more through the screen. I'll put a little flower in the bottom of my bowl and top it off with kief
Just an fyi, both flower and kief have a point where they evaporate away into useless thc. Flower can withstand more heat than kief. Our lighters burn hotter than that temperature for both but it’s more significant with kief, so it’s best to put it under flower. The flower will be burning and turn the kief into vapor before the flame reaches it, giving you more precious thc… Btw, this is the same reason hempwick is technically better, burns at a much lower temp and evaporates less thc
dont you think that lower layers of kief in say a 6 month collective in the bottom of a grinder might be protected from oxidation some due to the layers of fresh kief? the layer can definitely be pretty thick
I take mine out of the grinder and store it in an airtight jar,I had about 10 g of it and added it to my joints,bowls,layered it in my dry herb vape,I've used coffee grinders too and it accumulates a lot of keif under the metal part
I don't really save mine, but sort of do. I took the screen section out of my 4 piece. There's always a good bowl or two of kief stuck to the inside of the grinder and all in the threads. Sometimes that little bit stuck in there is a lifesaver. Lol
I have seen a couple of your videos and I do like them! I'm old enough to be an OG but I didn't start until I was 30 lol. All this info seems pretty useful to me.
I'm the type to leave kief in the grinder and then when I'm feeling squirrely, just top a bowl with it. Once in a blue moon I'll do a kief bowl. I never mix it with joints, though. It never burns right when I do.
Kief got me through school. I was the one that rolled, the one thattook the time to make it burn even and slow, the one who cleaned out peoples kief and put it in the sesh because they thought it was the trash. I was magic to my circle. They would seak participants that had grinders because they learned how kief was importantand, how much it could bring to the sesh. I didn't know it had a name until about 6 or 8years ago.
I have a big jar of keif. Every week i empty my keif catcher into a black out jar n have it in the fridge. Keeps it fresh and air tight. I then put the keif thru a sifter box and press the hash i get from it. The left over from sifting i make keif puks from 😄
I used to grab a zip to smoke once a week when I was like 16. Kept a nickel in my grinder and prior to grinding I’d put the bud in the grinder and let it sit in the freezer a few mins then take it out, grind it and shake my grinder for like 60 seconds. I’d stack up a qtr of keef in like a day and I’d smoke the less potent shake on the regular but if I wanted extra potency I’d just add a good amount of kief to the flower that still has all/most of the kief it had on it when I got it. I only smoke joints.
I prefer to keep mine as intact as possible and enjoy my kiefy buds. I use trim scissors to cut up my flower, I don't even own a grinder. I do buy kief sometimes for adding to edibles. I used to use a coffee grinder and grind it all up just like the guy you were talking about. I still do that for my edibles. ✌️💚
I clean my grinder at least once every other month so I know my kief doesn't get that old. Plus, if you keep your screen clear you'll collect kief faster. I save it for special occasions. When I'm running low at a party or something I can put a couple scoops on a bowl being passed around and it gets me in the sesh.
my keef catcher is my emergency stash, and i keep a little ground up bud in there just to put over the hole because keef is really fine so itll suck through. i also like keef joints. and on top of keef having a higher concentration of ingredients you can pack it way tighter and still get great airflow.
I always hand grind my flower right into whatever bowl I'm going to use. Seems like (to me) you just put it all in the bowl you have everything all in one.
Kief; I love the stuff. I'll roll it into hash snakes, top bowls, vape it in a glass pipe, smoke it straight... Kinda like a treat, something a bit different.
I love it. I have a 4 piece grinder with a dime in it that I washed with soap and water before I started using it. Coins help drop the kief into your catcher. I feel like I get the best high if I load a bowl and sprinkle the kief in I get the best relief for my medical issues overall
I used to smoke flower and I had a grinder with two screens. I smoked a lot of flower and the two screens would sift that stuff nicecly. After a month I would have a big smoke sesh and everyone got a kief bowl to themselves.
My buddy's mom borrowed his grinder once. She ground up her weed and couldn't figure out how 1) it ground it so fine, and 2) it ground into enough to fill the grinder. SHE SMOKED 6 MONTHS OF KIEF and returned his grinder mostly emptied BUT with a little ground bud in it 😂
I remember back when I made concentrates and had a bit over 3 liters of kief. We decided to try running it since we weren’t going to smoke it and it came out with some insane concentrates. Basically we just used a bit of sugar leaf and trimmings on both ends of the tube to keep the pressure balanced out and stop the kief from running out of the extraction tube. Didn’t run it through the closed loop either, just did it through a basic tube then the vac chamber. It was an incredibly large yield off of a fairly small tube (somewhere around 36 grams or so lol)
i use an old magic bullet as my grinder and at this point while i know im not getting "everything" out of each joint or blunt whenever i want to ill add a few table spoons of kief to a pile i ground up and mix it all together. Those joints end up loaded
personally I love saving my kief! Usually I save up a bunch and then smoke it with friends by sprinkling a layer over our freshly-packed bowl/joint/blunt. It's a rare thing, but when it happens it's a lot of fun 😁
I use a grinder without a kief catcher because reg flower isn't potent enough for me. Sometimes if I want I could just smoke some hashish by itself and that's like a kief bowl. Can also just buy bulk kief u if want so I just prefer to have kiefy flower in my pipe or joints.
I like to run about an oz. through the grinder. Whatever crumbs I have on my tray I layer it with the kief in a bowl. It taste extra good and is potent.
In my experience, I have no complaints when it comes to trim run hash rosin. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference as far as quality goes and it's usually a lot cheaper too which is always a plus as rosin tends to be quite pricey.
I save mine, but I get when people don’t. They don’t waste it, they just smoke it immediately. Which postpones the point in time where they would have smoked all buds and needed to take from that stash. It‘s like (compulsory) health insurance.
I see no one talking about the j g keefworth joke, massively underrated but I’ve never seen that ad anywhere else other than Colorado so it kinda makes sense.
I just started smoking again around a month ago after not smoking for a year and I checked my 4 piece grinder that I haven’t touched in over a year and there was at least 2 grams in it
I don’t get a lot of kief when I smoke joints because I like to use a chunky grind. I give like one or two twist and tap the bud out from the teeth. Most of the stuff doesn’t fall through
The longer you keep kief in the grinder the less potent it becomes. Thc over a period of time exposure to oxygen and light will turn into CBN which can help promote sleep among other things. Long story short it's better to use it right away to avoid oxidization of thc
I have a small hand held pollen press. Once or twice a month I'll clean my grinder and then press a "keef coin". I'll just cut off what I need for a bowl and get where I'm trying to be!
I quit saving kief about 2 months ago. Upgraded to a nicer grinder and opted for the 3-piece instead of the 4-piece. I find that my weed smokes better, vapes better, tastes better, and has a better high if I don’t use a kief catcher.
All of my grinders have the screens removed so the kief will not be removed from my flower when I smoke it. Like Cewpins said, OGs do not remove kief just to let it get older and then just put it back in... A purchase kief to use but I keep what I smoke "whole" because to save Keith means you have to sacrifice it out of your bud that you could be packing today while it's fresher. I did get a gram from the dispensary the other day that obviously was Keith and other ground flower with it too much green not enough gold It was two peppered with other things quite obviously and the effects matched that visual.
I don't save it. Single stage grinders only for me. I prefer to smoke the bud the way it came rather than stripping the kief from it to weaken the bud while saving up something that's not that great on it's own. Saving kief was a fun concept when I was a teenager, till I realized it wasn't worth it. If I wanna add something, hash or concentrate. Same thing if I wanna hit something stronger. 27 years smoking. So I be an OG. Also, Cewpins, wow, how have I gone this long without ever hearing about warm bong water? It's the best. Thank you.
Do you collect kief and save it for later?

I do this as well. I lightly tap the bowl to get the kief actually in the bowl not just on top. That way when your flame comes down it wont burn the kief directly it will vaporize from the heat of the combusted flower material thats on top. Hope that made sense haha.
A story from a friend: they were at their friend's house and he had realized his grinder had an extra chamber (the keif chamber). It was PACKED full of keif. Like could not fit anymore. Standing in the kitchen next to a trashcan he says "ew wtf is this sand" and just slaps it on the inside wall of the trashcan dumping all of it.
This is just ragebait
idiot isn’t responsible enough to be smoking weed.
also nice rage bait, nn. 🤓

Nah man no smoker would just dump that shit without smelling it first.

I have smoked weed over 30 years old and it still hit pretty damn good it had an odd taste as if it had been through a laundry cycle, but other than that it got me a high i have never had before and it was actually enjoyable. Thanks for reading this random comment...👍🥵
I save kief in an air right jar with no light on it so it cures it over time
How long will it last?

Homie droppin serious knowledge I'm impressed..I was interested genuinely engaged and enjoyed this kat. New fan. Bravo my fried friend
Bruh you had to save keef lol for when you ran out an couldn’t get ahold of the plug hahaha
Nah ong what I’m abt to do💀
My kief catcher is the closest thing I have to a savings account
Having a build up of kief is a nice treat. It also smokes and feels different than whole flower.
Me and my homeboy back in high school used to always be in the struggle when it came to getting some bud. One time we ran out of the gas and my mans got the kief filter and put it on top of the bowl and started lighting that jawn. Desperate times
I used to save kief until I realized it was just separating components of the weed that were already in there. So your flower gets weaker and you are just adding back in the stuff that fell on a screen.
It's a placebo effect.
A month of decaf weed for 1 good session
When you get good weed and don’t have a very high tolerance it’s pretty nice. I get high just fine off of one good bong hit or a small .2 bowl, no kief included. I don’t always wanna get stoned, but sometimes when I do I break the kief out and I’ll get there no problem.
For the record I smoke about every day but I regularly take little 3-4 day tolerance breaks after I run out and I stay pretty good
It might make the bud slightly less potent, but then you have concentrate
I feel no different smoking weed grinded with a kief catcher and smoking weed without one. Its literally adding to your reserves with very little taken away.
what ive taken to doing is putting all my sugar leaves from badly or untrimmed buds in the catcher, cause im not gonna smoke that green and its damn near free asf keif cause i would have typically thrown them out anyways.
I only smoke paddle hash from the trimmer and scissor hash along with the stuff that sticks to the gloves when your trimming.
i cant tell you how many times ive ran out of weed during a PTSD episode only to open my grinder to find all the kief. its like puttin your hand in cold water after burnin yourself lol its always a good backup imo. i cant tell if its weaker or not because i havent smoked "fresh" kief before i guess
"its my kief and i want it now" dude 🤣🤣🤣
Plugs are like role models and I'm not even joking. For better or worse I've learnt alot from my dealers and my friends older brothers
I remember when those grinders with the screens first came out about 20yrs ago. I never owned one and never will. Have had a sifting screen box for about 18yrs, been gardening years longer than that
I always end up saving up my kief and never really using it that much. But I do keep a list of all different varieties in my kief jar and right now I have 103 different strains in there.
I keep the bottom half of my grinder, aka kief catcher, in a mason jar with a 55% RH Integra Boost pack 😎 I just take it out whenever I need to grind something, then it goes right back in!
I'm 44... Been smoking for around 30 yrs. Basically since I was 14. Usually I smoke joints or use a one hitter that I keep in a dugout. No grinder for me. I'm a minimalist. A grinder is just something extra that I have to worry about. Whenever I roll a joint I just break the bud up with my fingers. Whenever I'm through smoking I toss the roach in my cigar case. Over time the roaches build up and I roll a roach joint (1st gen roach joint) and toss the roach from that in a different cigar case. These 1st gen joints add up and I roll a joint with those (2nd gen roach joint). You see where I'm going with this. The goal is to eventually get to a 10th gen roach joint. In all my years of smoking I've never made it as far as a 3rd gen. I used to be big into bongs, hookahs and pipes in my teens and early 20s. Because pot is illegal in KY, paraphernalia is a no-no. Tossing pipes and throwing away bongs got old and I decided to just keep it simple.
why does every grandpa stoner on earth do this thing with the "generations" of roaches? What is the goal? Really stinky roaches? Its a pointless ritual and nothing more, and it's ironic because it's always the "minimalist" who won't even use a grinder because that's just too much stuff maaan but they'll carry around stinky pill bottles full of roaches to put into their bigger jar of stinky roaches at home. The reason you're still hippy picking your weed is because your guy has been selling you mid grade trash the last 15 years. Good nugs are way too tight to break up by hand it's just a pain in the ass. My point is I see your mid 40s BeenThereDoneThat and I raise you my mid 30s ShutUpOldMan.
Kief is like a stoners reward program :)
I don’t feel any higher when I leave the kief in my weed but I definitely feel higher when I add a kief topper to my bowl
One of the highest times I have ever been was after taking a year off smoking and my buddy bought some freshly sifted kief from local grower we known for years but never bought kief before that but that shit was 🔥 one small bowl of pure kief split between two of us and I was done for the night lol but I don’t save my kief though I use a loose grind or hand break my bud on the daily
I cherish my kief. I put a penny in the flower chamber and rattle the hell out of it. It knocks a lot more through the screen. I'll put a little flower in the bottom of my bowl and top it off with kief
Just an fyi, both flower and kief have a point where they evaporate away into useless thc. Flower can withstand more heat than kief. Our lighters burn hotter than that temperature for both but it’s more significant with kief, so it’s best to put it under flower. The flower will be burning and turn the kief into vapor before the flame reaches it, giving you more precious thc…
Btw, this is the same reason hempwick is technically better, burns at a much lower temp and evaporates less thc
dont you think that lower layers of kief in say a 6 month collective in the bottom of a grinder might be protected from oxidation some due to the layers of fresh kief? the layer can definitely be pretty thick
I take mine out of the grinder and store it in an airtight jar,I had about 10 g of it and added it to my joints,bowls,layered it in my dry herb vape,I've used coffee grinders too and it accumulates a lot of keif under the metal part
I don't really save mine, but sort of do. I took the screen section out of my 4 piece. There's always a good bowl or two of kief stuck to the inside of the grinder and all in the threads. Sometimes that little bit stuck in there is a lifesaver. Lol
I have seen a couple of your videos and I do like them! I'm old enough to be an OG but I didn't start until I was 30 lol. All this info seems pretty useful to me.
I'm the type to leave kief in the grinder and then when I'm feeling squirrely, just top a bowl with it. Once in a blue moon I'll do a kief bowl. I never mix it with joints, though. It never burns right when I do.
you have to mid the keif and ground up bud. And mix it thoroughly
@@NaNa-wb8ze tried it a few times, always ends up canoeing
@@Knee_Boy64Put all the keef into the very tip once done building the cone just like topping off a bowl.
The JG Wentworth bit killed me…greets from Long Island
Kief got me through school.
I was the one that rolled, the one thattook the time to make it burn even and slow, the one who cleaned out peoples kief and put it in the sesh because they thought it was the trash. I was magic to my circle. They would seak participants that had grinders because they learned how kief was importantand, how much it could bring to the sesh.
I didn't know it had a name until about 6 or 8years ago.
The J. G. Kiefworth killed me. 🤣
Kief is the logic of taxes. Take a little bit everywhere to have a huge amount in one place, except we're substituting space with time.
J.G. Keefworth😂😂😂 you’ve definitely earned my like on this video
Thanks my dude!🙌
I have a big jar of keif. Every week i empty my keif catcher into a black out jar n have it in the fridge. Keeps it fresh and air tight. I then put the keif thru a sifter box and press the hash i get from it. The left over from sifting i make keif puks from 😄
You should make a video. I want to see how that works
Just started watching your videos, love them!
I used to grab a zip to smoke once a week when I was like 16. Kept a nickel in my grinder and prior to grinding I’d put the bud in the grinder and let it sit in the freezer a few mins then take it out, grind it and shake my grinder for like 60 seconds. I’d stack up a qtr of keef in like a day and I’d smoke the less potent shake on the regular but if I wanted extra potency I’d just add a good amount of kief to the flower that still has all/most of the kief it had on it when I got it. I only smoke joints.
I prefer to keep mine as intact as possible and enjoy my kiefy buds. I use trim scissors to cut up my flower, I don't even own a grinder. I do buy kief sometimes for adding to edibles.
I used to use a coffee grinder and grind it all up just like the guy you were talking about. I still do that for my edibles. ✌️💚
I clean my grinder at least once every other month so I know my kief doesn't get that old. Plus, if you keep your screen clear you'll collect kief faster. I save it for special occasions. When I'm running low at a party or something I can put a couple scoops on a bowl being passed around and it gets me in the sesh.
my keef catcher is my emergency stash, and i keep a little ground up bud in there just to put over the hole because keef is really fine so itll suck through. i also like keef joints. and on top of keef having a higher concentration of ingredients you can pack it way tighter and still get great airflow.
The jg kiefworth line was hilarious
JG KUSHWORTH HAS BEEN A JOKE OF MINE SINCE ELEMENTARY LMAOOOOOO
I always hand grind my flower right into whatever bowl I'm going to use. Seems like (to me) you just put it all in the bowl you have everything all in one.
Your not understanding keif is more potent that the bud itself 😂
"J. G. Keif worth" lmfao. I like to save it up then sprinkle it on top of a freshly packed bowl sometimes, it's a nice little punch.
Kief; I love the stuff. I'll roll it into hash snakes, top bowls, vape it in a glass pipe, smoke it straight... Kinda like a treat, something a bit different.
I love it. I have a 4 piece grinder with a dime in it that I washed with soap and water before I started using it. Coins help drop the kief into your catcher. I feel like I get the best high if I load a bowl and sprinkle the kief in I get the best relief for my medical issues overall
I used to smoke flower and I had a grinder with two screens. I smoked a lot of flower and the two screens would sift that stuff nicecly. After a month I would have a big smoke sesh and everyone got a kief bowl to themselves.
Exactly, from the dispensary then mix in with my bowls and joints
I love my grinder bc theres 2 keif catchers the first has bigger holes so it makes keif quickly second one is smaller and has more refined keif.
When people say flower.... I always think of someone drinking a tiny cup of tea with their pinky finger out......
My buddy's mom borrowed his grinder once. She ground up her weed and couldn't figure out how 1) it ground it so fine, and 2) it ground into enough to fill the grinder. SHE SMOKED 6 MONTHS OF KIEF and returned his grinder mostly emptied BUT with a little ground bud in it 😂
I remember back when I made concentrates and had a bit over 3 liters of kief. We decided to try running it since we weren’t going to smoke it and it came out with some insane concentrates. Basically we just used a bit of sugar leaf and trimmings on both ends of the tube to keep the pressure balanced out and stop the kief from running out of the extraction tube. Didn’t run it through the closed loop either, just did it through a basic tube then the vac chamber. It was an incredibly large yield off of a fairly small tube (somewhere around 36 grams or so lol)
I like keif because it's basically a refill until the plug shows up
I dry ice off all the keif and throw the veg away.
WHAAATTT!!?? THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, HOW DO YA DOI IT? IM GOING TO RESEARCH THAT RIGHT NOW! THANKS FOR THE TIP, GOOD LOOKIN OUT!
i use an old magic bullet as my grinder and at this point while i know im not getting "everything" out of each joint or blunt whenever i want to ill add a few table spoons of kief to a pile i ground up and mix it all together. Those joints end up loaded
I save my kief in a jar all year long and I use it to make Christmas cookies.
I love that first bowl of bubble hash after harvest 🤤
Here's an old favorite: press kief into hash and smoke it out of a vaporizer. I know it's rather specific, but it makes a little go very long way.
personally I love saving my kief! Usually I save up a bunch and then smoke it with friends by sprinkling a layer over our freshly-packed bowl/joint/blunt. It's a rare thing, but when it happens it's a lot of fun 😁
I use a grinder without a kief catcher because reg flower isn't potent enough for me. Sometimes if I want I could just smoke some hashish by itself and that's like a kief bowl. Can also just buy bulk kief u if want so I just prefer to have kiefy flower in my pipe or joints.
I like to run about an oz. through the grinder. Whatever crumbs I have on my tray I layer it with the kief in a bowl. It taste extra good and is potent.
I just make kief using a trim tray with a screen using sugar leafs from my outdoor home grown ❤
I actually use the nickel freezer trick to constantly have kief on almost every bowl/joint I smoke. It just makes it taste better and gets me baked 😋
How does that work? Sounds new to me
>knock keif off
>put it back in
>get higher
ok
Don’t do it. It gets more plant matter and impurities in your keif
I empty the kief into my smoothee! The small glass container makes it easy to tap in some extra potency whenever I want ;P
I just had to like and comment, without him even asking when he said, “like jg kiefworth it’s my cash and I want it now!”💀
After watching this a few months ago I tried out a grinder without a catch and I prefer it so much more
In my experience, I have no complaints when it comes to trim run hash rosin. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference as far as quality goes and it's usually a lot cheaper too which is always a plus as rosin tends to be quite pricey.
I save mine, but I get when people don’t. They don’t waste it, they just smoke it immediately. Which postpones the point in time where they would have smoked all buds and needed to take from that stash. It‘s like (compulsory) health insurance.
Jg keifworth💀💀💀 good vid man youe channel is very entertaining
I see no one talking about the j g keefworth joke, massively underrated but I’ve never seen that ad anywhere else other than Colorado so it kinda makes sense.
I buy keif by the gram and put it in my joints. Love it
I just started smoking again around a month ago after not smoking for a year and I checked my 4 piece grinder that I haven’t touched in over a year and there was at least 2 grams in it
I don’t get a lot of kief when I smoke joints because I like to use a chunky grind. I give like one or two twist and tap the bud out from the teeth. Most of the stuff doesn’t fall through
Used to save it, but I never use it anymore, so I started using 2 piece grinder and keeping it on the bud, since I never run out of bud anymore
The longer you keep kief in the grinder the less potent it becomes. Thc over a period of time exposure to oxygen and light will turn into CBN which can help promote sleep among other things. Long story short it's better to use it right away to avoid oxidization of thc
I have a small hand held pollen press. Once or twice a month I'll clean my grinder and then press a "keef coin". I'll just cut off what I need for a bowl and get where I'm trying to be!
I quit saving kief about 2 months ago. Upgraded to a nicer grinder and opted for the 3-piece instead of the 4-piece. I find that my weed smokes better, vapes better, tastes better, and has a better high if I don’t use a kief catcher.
Usually the grinder screen is removeable and that's how it stays removed!
All of my grinders have the screens removed so the kief will not be removed from my flower when I smoke it. Like Cewpins said, OGs do not remove kief just to let it get older and then just put it back in...
A purchase kief to use but I keep what I smoke "whole" because to save Keith means you have to sacrifice it out of your bud that you could be packing today while it's fresher.
I did get a gram from the dispensary the other day that obviously was Keith and other ground flower with it too much green not enough gold It was two peppered with other things quite obviously and the effects matched that visual.
I don't save it. Single stage grinders only for me.
I prefer to smoke the bud the way it came rather than stripping the kief from it to weaken the bud while saving up something that's not that great on it's own.
Saving kief was a fun concept when I was a teenager, till I realized it wasn't worth it.
If I wanna add something, hash or concentrate. Same thing if I wanna hit something stronger.
27 years smoking. So I be an OG.
Also, Cewpins, wow, how have I gone this long without ever hearing about warm bong water? It's the best. Thank you.
Keef can be hella clutch for when you take a break and when you come back. Sure it’s not fresh but it will blast u off
