Note I didn't say the grenade is the best weapon in the game, only the strongest. And I also said every weapon has its place and use.
As to training grenades, I too spent my share of time on the lower area of kinghead. After that you can move up to the building area in kingshead and attrack everyone around you using blast on your staff to get their attention and then move backwards and throw like you did with the 18 vets. This too will take you higher, but only so far.
The real power of the grenades opened up to me after I started using them more or less as they were intended. I mostly level it now by throwing them at targets on the backside of padre (the shore with high level enemy). I stand in one spot and turn to hit whatever is there. Doing this has made my aim darned good at any distance, even with some that move. I only use the move backward attack on things that do not die before reaching me. The gypsy and genadiers are easy to kill since they never get close to you. I don't even bother using hex eaters on the gypsys large enough to hurt me as they are dead long before they can kill me.
I'll state this again. I've used all of the weapons and have most at or above 20. I once too thought the staff was the end-all weapon. After working more on learning to use them to their potential, the grenade moved way back up my list and there are enemy I only use grenades on (such as those pesky 20+ raiders).
Note that I can seriously harm a 33 raider with my staff, but if I use flameskull I run out of voodoo before I can kill it which makes me have to switch to cutlass. If I use wither it just takes too many of them and he still gets a lot of hits on me. Either way, I often end up using tonics using a staff on them. I NEVER EVER have to use a tonic with the grenades. Which would you use?
