Why do my joints not stay lit?
they may be rolled too tight/ unevenly?? there was a rolling tutorial round here somewhere, but i havent been around in a while so i dunno if its still there
Try explaining the process you go through to make the joint. (how are you breaking it up, what size and kind of paper are you using, what style are you rolling it in, how are you lighting it?)
If you could explain how you do those sorts of processes to reach the end product I would maybe be able to help a little, but the real help is going to be a lot of practice.
I have JOB papers single wide. What I do is break up the bud with my fingers, and I pick out the stems. Then I put it in the paper and spread it, I then roll it until its sturdy and I lick the part you lick. Then I put it in my mouth put the lighter on the J and inhale a bit, then it turns off. Or the paper will burn then it will turn off and the bud's holding itself and there's burnt paper around it.
One thing you might want to try is break it up with scissors or a grinder. I have a feeling that you are not breaking the weed up enough, so air is not getting through your joint and it won't stay lit. It may be trying to keep large chunks lit which is a lot harder then if it is grounded up nice and fine.
Also you can watch how the people roll on Everyonedoesit.com in their video section at the bottom. If you click in their video section and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you can click on the things that look like video tapes. I roll my joints like they do their two spliff videos but without tobacco and pure weed.
You're weed could be wet, or you're not breaking it up good enough. I'm not shure, take a pic of you're joint so we can help you more.
Make sure the power cable is in correctly, 90% of joint power failures are caused by faultly PCU's.Quote:

Try to keep the paper thickness even (roll a wide joint or cut off any excess paper so the paper overlaps slightly), might want to try the pencil technique if you don't mind taking the easy way out.

i thought maybe you were rolling to tight, i did that when i first started. but when you said the paper would burn around the weed and not the weed it sounds more like you are rolling to loose.
im the joint master
When you can get a joint to burn for 45 mins your the master. - and i dont mean just putting it out half way through and waiting.
SAY IT AINT SO???!?! :D IM DA MOTHFUKHIN JOINT MASTER, end of story.
Well, can you get a joint to burn for 45 minutes? - With a normal king size paper?
yeh, and i dont use the whole paper i minimize paper usage, MUAHAHAHA IM THE JOINT MASTER!
spend a long time breaking up the weed with siccors over a peice of paper or something to catch every bit.
I can do the same with a backwards roll and only have one layer - more green less paper.Quote:

yes i can do that too, man your talking to the JOINT MASTER, do you know what your messing with? jeeez, "kung fu kick" Dare test my joint style? we shall havea competition
Your right, we will. I'll win hands down. ;)
This is one thing im sure of.
im going to blast you off the of face of your mommas tit
I dont think so.
So, what are the rules?
1 card roach with an S in the middle, exactly 15 mm long.
1 King size rolling paper.
Joint no thicker than 15 mm [at both ends]
Sound alright?
Got anything to add?
my joints go out when i dont toke on them but so do roll ups, i think they may be too lose
roll them and then roll them between ur palms
like making a play doh sausage
HAND] || [HAND
joint
and dry the weed, or yer grind it,
Dude, moist pot makes me wanna punch the thug who grew it, clipped it a month early, and bagged it.
I can't stand them. Unfortunatly here in the states, we have what I would categorize as the mcdonalds production pot. It is wieght/quantityl over quality 90% of the time.
Wicked big problem here. I started buying in a different way. When you stick some one with an Oz of moist pot, they tend to get better product next time for you.
Or, for the better, they outright refuse to deal with you. Thats fine with me, id rather save my money than buy moist pot.
Consider most of my rant something of the past. I really did quit like over a month ago. :(

LIP, JOINTMASTER5, you guy's slay me. Soon as I get off probation and grow some more we need to party. I'm calling for a rollers ball. I got big balls. LOL
Either its the weed,you rolled to tight, or you rolled too loose.This is by far the easiest way I know how to roll.#1 grind your weed up #2 place in whatever you roll up with #3 make two even piles out of your green #4 roll back and forth to make a clyindrical shape with the mix
LOL a rollers ball, I SHALL WIN THE CONTEST FOR I AM JOINT MASTER
We get it.
does it look like i was replying to you, "shut da fuk up fat man"
No one will beat me - simple as that. I'm positive. You may be the best joint roller you know - but you dont know me!
