Alien Labs Accessories: What's in the Collection

The Alien Labs accessories lineup at Headshop.com focuses on three core categories that every serious smoker needs at arm's reach: grinders, rolling trays, and dab mats. Each product carries the brand's signature sci-fi aesthetic — think dark colorways, spacecraft motifs, and the instantly recognizable alien head logo. Small collection, zero filler.

Aluminum Grinders

Alien Labs offers both 2-piece and 4-piece aluminum grinders in a 2.25" diameter — a compact size that fits in a pocket without sacrificing performance. The 2-piece options come in Black Ship and Purple Ship colorways, while the 4-piece Globe grinder steps it up with multiple chambers for kief collection. Aluminum construction means these grinders won't warp, stick, or leave metal shavings in your herb. Sharp diamond-cut teeth and a satisfying magnetic closure are standard across the lineup.

Metal Rolling Trays

The Alien Labs metal rolling trays give you a clean, contained workspace for rolling up. The Space tray and Orange Logo tray both feature printed graphics on a sturdy metal base with raised edges to keep everything where it belongs. Metal trays are far easier to clean than plastic alternatives and hold up to years of daily use. Check out the broader rolling trays collection if you want more sizes and styles.

Dab Mats

Three dab mat options round out the collection — Black Alien Head, Green Alien Head, and Blue Logo — all in the 6.75"–7" range. Dab mats protect your rig, banger, and dab tools from hard surfaces while giving your setup a finished, intentional look. The rubberized backing keeps the mat in place during use, and the printed alien graphics make them conversation starters. Pair one with a quality rig from our dab rigs collection to complete the setup.

What to Look for When Buying Smoking Accessories

Even simple accessories make a real difference in your daily routine when they're made right. Here's what matters:

• Material quality: Aluminum grinders outperform plastic or zinc alloy — they're lighter, stronger, and don't corrode.
• Size: A 2.25" grinder is portable and practical. Larger trays (rolling or dab) give you more working room, especially for concentrate setups.
• Design durability: Printed graphics on trays and mats should be sealed or embedded, not just surface-printed, so they hold up to regular cleaning.
• Kief collection: If you want to collect kief over time, go with the 4-piece Globe grinder — the extra chamber makes a noticeable difference.

Pairing Alien Labs Gear with the Rest of Your Setup

Alien Labs accessories are designed to complement each other — a dab mat under your rig, a grinder for your flower, and a rolling tray for everything in between. For the full picture, explore related categories on Headshop.com:

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Alien Labs grinders good quality?

Yes. The Alien Labs aluminum grinders use quality aluminum construction with sharp teeth and magnetic closures. They're not entry-level — they're built to last and grind consistently, session after session. The 4-piece Globe model adds a kief screen and collection chamber for extra value.

What size are the Alien Labs dab mats?

The Black and Green Alien Head dab mats measure 7" x 5.75", and the Blue Logo mat is 6.75" x 6.75". Both sizes are large enough to protect your rig and banger but compact enough to fit on most sesh surfaces without taking over the whole table.

Can I use an Alien Labs rolling tray for dab sessions too?

Absolutely. Metal rolling trays work just as well as catch-all surfaces for dab tools, carb caps, and concentrate containers. The raised edges keep small items from rolling off, making them versatile beyond just rolling.

What's the difference between a 2-piece and 4-piece grinder?

A 2-piece grinder has a top and bottom — you grind and dump directly. A 4-piece adds a collection chamber and a fine mesh screen that sifts kief as you grind. Over time, that kief adds up and can be used to top bowls or add potency to rolls. If you grind regularly, the 4-piece Globe is worth it.
