roach in joints messing up my toke?

[rmrdr716]

today i rolled a joint with a cardboard roach and i went to smoke it with my buddy and it wouldnt let the joint wouldnt pass through the roach or somethin. it was a loosly rolled roach and had a decent sized hole in the middle. ive never rolled a joint with a roach so i must have done something wrong. the joint burnt fine after we took the roach out. anyone know how to correctly roll a roach? i know, sounds retarted

Don't pack ur gear right up to the cork/roach. If u do, pull the cork out a little and it shuld b fine providin it ent rammed/clogged with a big bud or fag

Be sure that the front (the other end of the joint) is open. If not, teart it off with your teeths, this will help to puff on the joint. Also sometimes when the weed is too tight in the joint, because you shook it, it will be hard to suck it out, play a little with the joint to be sure the weed not too compress. I've been smoking for some time now and I always use a roach, this help save weed and your fingers. Hope this help !

if you use a roach, you can always give you joint a "tap" down, to get the mixture evenly packed threw the joint if it was "lose".
Make sure when you roll the joint, the mixture inside (weed) is level and smooth, packed evenly threw the joint and up to the roach.
