Is there something wrong with my joints?

Okay, so if you remember from my last topic, I love joints. And I love to roll them. Lately I've been putting a lot of effort into my joints. So let me describe to you my perfect joint. I got my hands on a joint roller recently, so I use that. It makes the joints perfect in shape. I also like to use a business card for a filter. Usually 4-5mm just so you can have your lips or finger on something to avoid getting burned. As an added touch, I use OCB pepers. Papers that have no gum, so they burn forever. I just had the idea that joints could be exactly like ciggerettes.

Now for the most part people who I've showed my joints to kinda go like "what the fuck is this?" And I think thats bullshit. I was just at Projekt Revolution and some random guy came up as asked to take a hit (thats expected) and he didn't even like my joint. It turns out that the next time her came over to hit it my joint magically broke "as soon as I handed it to him." (Thats bullshit because he came up and broke my joint.)


So I don't really know. What do you all think?

if ya had a filter in it and you were in the states I would break that shit in half too ;) (not being mean) lol

But... why? Its called convenience. Wow... If I had some shitty ass schwag I would hand roll it to look like a piece of shit. But if I have chronic then no shit I'm going to take my time. You're an idiot dude.

We always roll with a carboard filter in the UK, its what we call the roach.

However, in my experience i have found that joint rollers often make joints far too tight and hard to toke on.

Post a picture of one of your joints and we can have a look.

Ah, I can see now about the smoke being hard to take in. But I'm out of budksy at the moment, so you'll have to wait. :(

Classy smokers use a cardboard roach. :thumbsup: Im sure your joints are fine that guy was just a douchebag.

chill the fuck out kid, no reason to be getting stupid on the forums, noone attacking ya here..

people dont really smoke joints where im from because they waste chron, it burns to much of it to fast especially if its heads! but any one who randomly asks to take a hit of your joint and then insults it is a fucktard in my book ;)

"to each his own"... the most important thing is that YOU enjoy your way of consuming weed.

(I also like to take my time in the privacy of my home and roll nice and pretty joints, filter included, it feels "classy" when I smoke :))

The card roach makes the hit smoother, slightly cooler, gives you bigger hits and saves any waste.

every time i have used a roller it hits perfect, once you find the prime amount amount its great. but i dont like a filter or mouthpeice of any kind

LOL why the hell would he break your joint? I dunno as long as it hits good then I don't see what the problem would be with the joint. Maybe was just a noob whore. Oh and I don't even use filters. It's really no point lol.

PREACH!

yea, i use roaches most times too...im talkin like less that half a cm long, a few millimeters wide (least for marley spliffs)...by the time it burns down that much you can't hit it anyway without burning your fingers or lips and unless you collect roaches (and even if you do a small filter doesnt do much harm) , aint no point in keepin the waste

I dont roll a joint without a filter in it anymore.

I use a rolling machine as well, and I can get a perfectly rolled, perfect burning joint with a filter in it, that doesnt have any problems smoking at all.

The filter helps cool the smoke slightly, and most importantly, it prevents you from having to get resin on your fingers or burning your mouth/fingers trying to hit a roach. I dont need or want that shit on my fingers, and I dont enjoy burnin my lips/fingers.

I have some friends who think its a badge of honor to be able to hit a roach until they are getting liquid resin on their fingers from pullin a hit through it, and its burning the piss out of their fingers as well... but personally that just seems stupid.

My motto with everything in life, pot smoking included, has always been... "Work(smoke) smarter, not harder."

To each their own though, I suppose.

i always put in roaches now, i never used to though. and from my expirence, rolling machines roll way too tight

:thumbsup:Dude, tell you what....if it is good bud, I'll smoke your damned joints all day long and not complain a bit.:rasta:

using a rolling machine has always been such a cop out to me. rolling by hand is an art that takes time and skill to perfect, i'm of the opinion that anyone who smokes enough should know how to roll, it should be mandatory for cryin out loud!

ya it could be rollers i smoked out of one from a roller one time and it makes it way to tight lol and it it burned unevenly too, just roll by hand once you know how to its just as easy as with a roller and they are better

If its too tight, or not burning right, then the person using the roller is inexperienced or just plain stupid. They arent that hard to use, and used properly you can roll up Joints that are far better then what you can do by hand. Ive yet to see a person roll a Joint that was so perfect in shape and size, perfect even packing... not too tight, not too loose, that burns just like a cig.. but I roll up plenty of j's with my roller every night like that.

And I spent an entire weekend one week trying to roll by hand, went through about 6 packs of papers, got no where. I cant get the flick man... perfect roll job up until i need to roll one edge under the other.

I can roll 2X the size of a cigarette with a Orange Zig Zag 1.25.

Takes a lot of practice...All I can say is it is like tucking the little side in. Your fingers and thumbs need to move harmoniously.

I just bought some clear papaers this weekend...No gum??
They look cool but kinda like your smoke is saran wrapped??

DAMN IT! EXACTLY SAME THING HERE DUDE...

But i wont give up!

no offence but it sounds like your getting to psyched about rolling a joint, the way you say its got to be perfect, the end of the day as long as it smokes tastes good i dont care what it looks like

When he said filter i think he ment roach bro, and rolling/smoking without a roach can be a pain.

Who cares if they don't like your joints. As long as YOU get high, who's gonna complain? No one can say shit. Your enjoying weed for yourself, not for others. Fuck them!

I always roll with a roach, I was told not to use a filter by some Cannabis Pro booklet. It explained smoking with a filter absorbed THC, meaning you would end up smoking more to reach a desired high.

I agree with some of the others it doesn't matter what your joints look like as long as they smoke good. But it is nice to roll well.

Joints are great on the go, but I definetly prefer glass :bonghit:.

When I do smoke joints, I do use a roller, and use a roach on every one, but to each his own.

I've never grasped the technique of rolling by hand, as I said, I smoke glass 95% of the time. But when a joint is due, a roller makes it mighty easy :).

Exactly what I was going to say. And fuck that guy. Closed-minded stoners make no sense anyways.

Your joints sound awesome btw. Perfectly rolled with a cardboard roach- who could complain? :thumbsup:

I dunno why he would break your joint...I myself haven't smoked a joint in years. I prefer a Dutch any day.

I'm a straight dutch smoker too but lately I feel like they kill my lungs. I just got a rolling machine yesterday and some RAW papers, great investment.

i use grinder on my weed, put weed in roller, filter (not cig style) in roller, roll up, smoke. rolls perfect, hits perfect, burns perfect. i dont get why people wouldent smoke it.

Because what if you don't have it/break it one day on the go.. You're screwed into not smoking or smoking a horribly rolled j.

If you really have 2 use a device to roll Why dont you try using a wicker rolling mat , you can roll them to your desired tightness !

Is it just me, or does anyone else use a longer roach (business card piece) like half an inch? I feel that is the better way to keep from burning the hands and lips. Anyone else?

I don't think there is anything wrong with your joints but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That guy seems like a complete douche bag though. You were kind enough to share your J with him and he breaks it? WTF is wrong with him?

why would you use a filter on your joints just use the green no need for filter:jointsmile:

i use a rolled up business card rolled up thats long enough for me to hold on its own without touching my bud...no wasting for me:stoned:

Rolling and smoking joints is stupid as shit! Use a water pipe or bong. That way you can conserve your stash, control the smell, and cool your smoke.

I mean wtf is with people using tiny fucking roaches? its fucking stupid man like you pack it all the way down, and then have the roach so small you cant fuckin hit that shit? what the fuck man... I roll mine with the roach half way out of the rizzla, so no nasty resin lips, and no burns. i mean seriously its like a revolution or some shit you know...

I agree Cheese, that is the ONLY way to roll a joint. However, I never roll joints any more since I am accustomed to my water pipe.

BTW I am so excited my Super Skunk is ready to harvest. I let her mature W A Y past the normal due date to see if she would grow fatter. She looks different from any plant I ever grew. There were way more leaves popping out from everywhere and the leaves were all three bladed.
