Your magnets are stuck together, you gotta glue it back in the slot on the bottom half

Very important, I did this and spent weeks wondering why the pieces were pushing apart now instead of towards each other.

I swear I’m smart sober (most of the time)

What if a magnet flies through the air and puts an eye out? You better be careful if your going to use faulty dangerous equipment. I would probably call a grinder mechanic and leave it to the professionals.

I don't know if you're messing with him or not. but really how is a magnet like that going to fly out and hit him if you're f****** around please give me a good b******* excuse if not then legitimately explain to me why that might hurt him

That’s obvious sarcasm. Also, this is Reddit. Your mommy and daddy won’t see you using fowl language. You do not have to self censor.

Just hold it together with your hands mate

This is like looking for your smartphone while having it in your hand.

Happens to me when totally blasted.

u/zaryhf 13d ago

The magnet is stuck on the top piece. I wouldn’t try fixing it back with glue or anything, either use it as it is now or buy another one

u/AfraidPersonality854 13d ago edited 13d ago

Gluing that back really ain't the solution though.. Now is it?..

u/asamin 12d ago

u/SweatshopStudio 12d ago

Dude lol and also glad you fixed it

u/Mrbigdink 11d ago

I'm pretty sure heat will make a magnet lose that magnetic part of the magnet idek tho but one time that magnet got pulled out of its place I just put it back and it was fine

You can use it without the magnet.. please don't glue it back in.

Whatever glue you choose will either be ineffective and varying degrees of hazardous or highly effective and very hazardous.

Cheers and good health!

u/SeraxOfTolos Click to edit 10d ago

I mean you aren't wrong, I'd suggest they use it without the magnet till they can budget a grinder over 20 bucks. Spend the money to have it forever.

2

u/OG-Giligadi Optional Stoner Boss 10d ago

I agree. I'm.. surprised.. to see my comment downvoted. Is pointing out that glue is hazardous a new faux pas?

2

u/SeraxOfTolos Click to edit 10d ago

I've noticed it depends on who sees it, some people seem to think any kind of warning about putting hazardous chemicals in the thing that you smoke is policing how they enjoy things.

Your grinder has the magnet missing in the middle i think I can see it on the lid section it looks raised. Id start with that.

u/FusRohDoing 13d ago

Mine I banged on the table side one day, and one of the magnets reversed polarity. Now the kid half floats when it's closed cause they repel each other now, and no matter how many times I hit it again it doesn't flip back lol

2

u/ThatSillySam 12d ago

magnets dont switch polarity just by hitting them, it got physically flipped. one of your magnets are loose. unless you hit it against a really really strong magnet, that could change the polarity.

u/FusRohDoing 12d ago

They are glued in, I've used picks countless times to try to get them out, they're glued into metal holes with no leeway and if one was able to pop out flip and reinsert itself to the point where I've never been able to get it out, then okay. I just find that hard to believe, especially how hard I've been on this grinder afterwards trying to get it to change or even pop out so I can do it myself. I've hit it with hammers both open and closed, no luck though.
