When I first started all I did was use one paper. Hated he taste. Got used to it and started using two because It is so much easier to control. I now only use one because I've been doing it for too many years... You know it's funny when you have rolling callouses alongside your guitar callouses.

Use whatever you feel comfortable with. Everyone has a style.

And the weed burns the paper, not the other way around. The tighter it is, the slower it burns. Also, cutting it up finer will help.

Just experiment, and have fun.
