New here so be gentle.

in my years of toking I have come across 2 types of roller. those who don't care what it looks like and are happy toking on what looks like a tampon, and those who treat it as an artform.

I remember the first time i rolled a non tampon looking joint, was sooo happy then remembered that i was only practising and it had nothing in it. ah well.

just got back from the Dam where i remembered another way if you dont like the taste of the paper (until you try it you wont realise how bad the paper tastes).

its best to use the finest papers you can get. in uk Rizla silvers. the reason will become clear

step 1 - take your skin and fold it the reverse way than what it came out of the packet. you need to have the glue side on the underneath and at the bottom nearest you.

step 2 - fill it with goodies and whatever then roll it as normal so its the glue strip that is the first bit you fold over.

step 3 - (the reason for the fine papers) to stick it you need to lick the outside of the rolled up spliff. If you use fine paper you can clearly see where glue strip is, so lick there.

what you are left with (or should be) is a perfect rolled spliff with just a single roll of paper and a large flap of the remaining paper coming out the side. to get rid of it simply set it alight. Don't worry it wont set the spliff alight. As soon as the fire hits the the part you just licked it goes out.

then just a little tidying up and your away.

no more nasty paper taste. I read somewhere its called a Dutch joint but thats probably a load of crap.

As soon as my short term memory returns I think up of a few others

A couple of additions to this;

if youve only got thicker papers, sometimes its easier to licky the gummy before you roll it in.

Also, it helps to apply a little more saliva when it comes to burning it, and then run the lighter along it to clear up the nasty edges

good methoddddd

I usually have a tiny bit of spill. But there's nowhere to put it. I just do it over a board or whatever, then sweep the leftovers back into my nug jar or whatever.

Le Double L-Skin
Doesnt look pretty, i kinda just made it up as i went.
But anywho, you start off with a normal L plate, but roll it at an angle, and add a second one onto the L.
I cant feel my face.

Illmatic ;
try putting the roach on the right hand side ( i find it easiest ), and once youve got the edge over ( before you roll it up to the sticky ) you can tighten it up by moving the back up (index finger) and pushing the top side forward and down. This is what i do when im rolling a huge one and it helps a lot.

As for burning slowly, you have to pack it. What i normally to i grab it by the roach and tap it on a hard surface, then pinch the top ( youll have some slack paper ) and flap it about ( get your roaches fitted properly first, otherwise itl fall out ). Then grab something ( clipper flint works best for me ) and poke it down until the top layer looks even. Finally twist the top and BITE the end off. This should help it burn slower and more evenly.

I still can't do it. $2.25 for a rolling machine at your local supply shop is totally worth it.

lol, i thought it would be examples of a crappy handroll and a good-looking machine roll. Typical machinist propaganda!

when you put the bud into the paper
and when your holding it, fold the paper over
the bud then roll it around with your fingers
your goal with that is to pack the bud
together to form a neat cylinder. then what i do is tuck the
bottom paper in and just roll it up

good luck:thumbsup:
