Buy Weed Accessories Online Australia — Grinders, Vaporisers, Pipes and Storage (2026)

Medicinal cannabis patients who use dried flower need more than just the medicine — they need equipment. A quality dry herb vaporiser, a reliable grinder, proper storage, and the right accessories make the difference between a consistent, effective medicinal experience and a frustrating one. This guide covers every category of cannabis accessory available online in Australia, what to look for, and what the legal position is.

The most important accessory: your dry herb vaporiser

For Australian medicinal cannabis patients prescribed dried flower, a dry herb vaporiser is the single most important accessory investment. Smoking (combustion) is not recommended by Australian prescribers — it introduces combustion byproducts, destroys terpenes at high temperatures, and produces an inconsistent dose.

What a dry herb vaporiser does:

• Heats cannabis flower to precise temperatures (typically 160–220°C)
• Extracts cannabinoids and terpenes as vapour without combustion
• Produces significantly lower levels of harmful byproducts than smoking
• Allows temperature control to target specific terpene and cannabinoid profiles

For a full vaporiser guide including top models (Storz & Bickel Mighty+, PAX 3, Arizer Solo 2) and temperature selection, see our dry herb vaporiser guide for Australia.

Cannabis grinders

A quality grinder breaks down dried flower to the optimal particle size for vaporisation — not too fine (which causes draw resistance and waste), not too coarse (which reduces vapour production and efficiency).

Types of grinders:

2-piece grinders: The simplest design — two interlocking pieces with teeth. Grinds flower into one chamber. Affordable, easy to clean. Good starting point.

4-piece grinders with kief catcher: Four sections — top grinder, flower collection chamber, screen, and kief (trichome) catch at the bottom. The kief catch collects the most potent resinous material for later use. Recommended for regular patients.

Electric grinders: Battery-powered for patients with arthritis, limited grip strength or hand tremors. Brands like Santa Cruz Shredder and Kannastor make electric models appropriate for medicinal patients with dexterity limitations.

What to look for:

• Aluminium or zinc alloy (not cheap plastic that contaminates ground flower)
• Sharp, diamond-cut teeth for consistent grind
• Magnetic closure to prevent spills
• Diameter: 50–63mm is standard for most patients; larger is easier to use

Where to buy grinders online in Australia: Australian vaporiser and accessories retailers stock quality grinders. Major online retailers including Cannatopia, VapoShop Australia and dedicated cannabis accessories stores carry a full grinder range. Grinders are legal cannabis accessories — there is no restriction on purchase or possession.

Storage — jars, cases and humidity control

Proper storage preserves terpenes and cannabinoid content. See our full storage guide for complete detail. The key accessories:

Airtight glass jars: The gold standard for dried flower storage. Mason jars (Ball, Kilner) are effective and inexpensive. Purpose-built cannabis jars (CVault, Boveda Grove Bag) add additional features like humidity control integration.

Humidity control packs: Boveda and Integra Boost produce two-way humidity control sachets that maintain target humidity (58% or 62% RH) inside a sealed jar. Essential for patients who store more than a few days’ supply. Available from vaporiser and accessories retailers online.

Smell-proof cases and bags: For patients who transport their medicine, smell-proof containers are practical. Quality options include Skunk Bags and purpose-built carry cases from vaporiser brands like PAX and Storz & Bickel.

UV-protective jars: Dark glass or UV-filtering clear glass protects terpenes and cannabinoids from light degradation. Green or amber glass jars provide adequate UV protection for most storage scenarios.

Weed pipes and water pipes — legal status in Australia

This is where Australian patients need to understand the law — it varies by state.

Pipes and bowls: Standard hand pipes (spoon pipes, one-hitters) are legal to purchase and possess in most Australian states for use as tobacco pipes. They are not illegal as objects. However, possession of a pipe with cannabis residue can be used as evidence of drug use in some jurisdictions.

Water pipes (bongs): In Queensland and Western Australia, bongs are illegal to sell, display or possess — even without cannabis. In other states (NSW, Victoria, SA, Tasmania, NT, ACT), bongs are legal to purchase and possess.

Online purchase: Several Australian online retailers sell pipes and water pipes. Check your state’s laws before purchasing — WA and QLD residents should be aware that water pipes are prohibited items in those states.

For medicinal patients: Most Australian prescribers recommend dry herb vaporisers over pipes for health reasons. Pipes involve combustion; vaporisers do not. For most medicinal purposes, a vaporiser is the superior and legally safer option.

Dab rigs and concentrate accessories

For Australian patients prescribed cannabis concentrates (oil extracts, wax, shatter), dab rigs provide a method of vaporising these at controlled temperatures.

E-rigs (electronic dab rigs): Devices like the Puffco Peak and Dr. Dabber Boost Evo heat a ceramic or quartz bucket to precise temperatures electronically. More consistent than traditional torch-and-nail setups; recommended for medicinal patients.

Traditional dab rigs: Require a butane torch to heat the nail. Less precise but less expensive. Traditional glass rigs are legal to purchase in states where glass pipes are legal.

Carb caps: Used with concentrate nails and buckets to trap vapour and improve efficiency. Inexpensive accessories for concentrate patients.

Scales

For patients who self-weigh doses, a quality digital scale accurate to 0.01g is useful. Pocket scales (Gemini, MyWeigh) are inexpensive and widely available online.

Cleaning accessories

Isopropyl alcohol (90%+): The most effective cleaner for glass and metal accessories. Available from chemists and hardware stores. Use to dissolve resin buildup from vaporiser chambers, pipes and grinders.

Pipe cleaners and cotton swabs: Essential for cleaning vaporiser stems, chambers and accessories.

Specific vaporiser cleaning kits: Brands including Storz & Bickel, PAX and Arizer sell cleaning kits for their devices with appropriate brushes, screens and cleaning agents.

Best places to buy weed accessories online in Australia

Dedicated vaporiser/accessories retailers:
