Rolling Paper Tips are narrow strips of thin cardboard from which you roll the filter (tip) for your joint. They are placed at the mouthpiece and provide stability to the joint without burning like the paper.
What are the benefits of a cardboard tip?
A rolled cardboard tip keeps the mouthpiece open, prevents crumbs from being pulled through, and ensures a consistent draw. It also stabilizes the end, allowing you to keep the joint clean and smoke it all the way down.
How do I roll a tip?
The classic method: Make a few small accordion-like folds (the "W" or "M") at the beginning of the strip, then tightly roll the rest around it. The folds keep the hole open and ensure a consistent draw.
Tips or pre-made filters?
Self-rolled cardboard tips are inexpensive and flexible in thickness. Pre-made filters or an activated carbon filter offer more convenience and – in the case of activated carbon – actual filtering effect. For pure stability, a cardboard tip is sufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Rolling Paper Tips filter out harmful substances?
No, they only provide stability and hold back crumbs. For filtering, you need activated carbon.
How thick should a tip be?
Thick enough to feel comfortable in your mouth and allow for a consistent draw – it's a matter of taste and a bit of practice.
Can I use regular paper instead of tips?
In a pinch, yes, but actual filter cardboard is more stable and less likely to burn.
