I'm writing this because I am stunned. This thing is great.
I decided to give it the ultimate test.
I loaded it with extremely aromatic herbs, in just regular clear plastic (loosely tied on purpose) bags, and then I placed it next to my nanas sitting chair. She does not smoke, drink, or partake in any way. She constantly complains about me smelling like smoke or like flowers, even if it's the next morning, she notices and complains. I left there for TWO DAYS. She spends most the day within 18" of where I put it.
She had absolutely no idea it was ever there.
Like, I had to tell her it was right next to her. She couldn't smell a thing! When I opened it in front of her to prove it, an invisible cloud of smell just slammed into us and I couldn't believe how well it had been contained. It looks like any other lunchbox. The lock was easy to set and is easy to use, even with arthritis. Essentially, its like a TSA style luggage lock in both the appearance and the function. Now-
LETS TALK ABOUT THE GRINDER.
I assumed that, as often is the case on Amazon the past few years, it would be a cheap piece of crap, probably plastic with chrome paint, that they just threw in as an afterthought to justify a price increase or something. I expected the same with the rest of it.
This is the nicest grinder I have ever owned. It is, indeed, actually metal, and feels solid. Nice and weighty in the palm. It is well-made and fully fuctional, has already survived a few unplanned meetings with a solid concrete floor, (the last of which was the hardest impact yet, and the MAGNETIC LID DIDN'T EVEN POP OFF AFTER I DROPPED IT AND IT ROLLED UNDER A FRIGGIN TABLE.)
I have gone through so many grinders from head shops, but this is a game changer for me, personally. It even came w a tiny plastic shovel to scrape the inside of the bottom (of it's FOUR chambers) and is suuuuper handy little thing that's so simple that I wish I had thought of it. All this...without the price gouging!? (I didn't know it could be like this.) The little stash pot (hehe) is thick, black, and opaque and of equivalent quality to everything else. (Even the 5 little zip top bags have a good quality feel to them. Like a stiff little ziplok, but feels... thick? Soft? Smooth, like the texture of a really fancy business card) Whoever is selling this is a good person.
Other jerks would charge this price for the grinder and baggies alone. (And they do, just with crappier stuff.)
TLDR: No buyers remorse. Will (and have already) be returning for future purchases.
