I am planning on getting an arctic circle soon. I have a superstar and code 2 right now and compared to the superstar, the code to grinds amazingly. also, i have noticed that there is no sulfur smell after a thumb grind on the code 2. is the arctic circle better, worse, ect. than the code 2 for grinding. also, will it have the sulfur smell?

I don’t know what the sulfur smell is, so no comment there.

Arctic Circle doesn’t have a great inner ring for IRGs. You can do it, but you have to do it at a slight angle. It doesn’t have a “lip” like the Code 2 does.

Also, any particular kinds of grinds? Not too many will do a “better” IRG than the Code 2. I mean, there are really only a few levels: “can’t do it”, “can do it with some shenanigans like being off-axis”, “has a slight lip to assist”, and “has a big old lip, making IRG a snap.”

Code 2 is already at that last level, so you can’t really get much better than that other than perhaps different finishes or longer spin times.

–

Now, if you’re talking finger, arm, and palm grinds, that’s a whole different ball of wax. One I can’t comment TOO intelligently on. The MonkeyfingeR Design Lesula is the nuttiest yoyo I’ve ever seen for finger grinds.
