Since Germany’s legalisation, I started rolling joints myself instead of making my SO do all the work lol

For me the nicest thing about legalization has been moving to vape cartridges. Especially if you are a very infrequent smoker.
The advancement of smoking tech in the legal market blows my mind.
God bless humanity for black markets, because fuck authoritarians, but also god bless humanity for free markets even more.
Most advanced idea in the black market was pot brownies. Five years after legalization and I’m buying little self contained vape cartridges where all I need to do is pull and out comes pot vapor of any strain I want.
Yep. And it’s cheaper too!
So much cheaper. And I can get carts that smell like strawberries instead of pot, so I don’t get in trouble with my apartment building.
I use a re-usable battery, but the self-contained vapes are super impressive. No charging required, nothing but unwrap and pull.
As a very infrequent smoker: please tell me more!
The cartridges never go bad so as long as you store them properly you can keep one more or less indefinitely. They’re pretty cheap too. And less harsh than flower. Very convenient if you just want something around to use whenever you need it. All you need is a battery.
Practice makes perfect!
Nice looking joint.

Took a lot of effort on my part lol
Do you compress the pot by rolling it back and forth before wrapping the paper? Also is your pot dry?
This particular joint looks like it’s kinda loose.
I knew an old guy with no teeth in Indiana who was part of a family that sold tons of pot. This guy was the family’s designated joint roller and holy shit could he roll a joint. They were perfectly cylindrical, with a filter at one end and the other end tucked down tighter and more symmetrically than an angel’s butthole.
We used to sit there and smoke those joints and play “Greedy”, which is a dice game involving five dice.
Later when I was introduced to the November Games at MIT, the dice game they play is identical to Greedy.
It was dry, I did not roll it back and forth because I lack the dexterity to do that properly without risking a huge spill, and it was pretty loose because I didn’t pack it full enough - had I put a bit more damiana in it, it probably would have turned out fine.
Cool story! Have you had the chance to pay him/them a visit sometime later?
Ahhh yes the tampon phase. I remember those days.
Although in 2024 I would recommend anyone to be done with smoking and buy a vaporizer. Even if you don’t consume as much, a dynavap is only 40-60EU, allows you to pretty much use any heat source, gives excellent vapor and is built to last.
Vaporents are the future :)
There’s the ritual, doing the thing, and the social aspects of joints. I love a good vape too, but absolutely nothing will ever replace joints and blunts for me.
Dry herb flavor is bonkers. But, I’ve found that the effects are very different for me vs combustion. With combustion being preferred.

Your experience may vary per vape and temp settings. I cannot imagine you get proper high from a joint but not from the same amount of weed in a mighty or tinymight2. But tbh in a dynavap should work too if you hit it well at reasonably high temperatures.
Gotta get hit by the dab train
I must be doing it wrong cause I bought some wax recently and barely felt anything
You’re definitely doing it wrong then.
Thanks, that helps a lot.
Lol not sure what advice you could really expect to get? Hitting wax should get you pretty fucked up regardless of your tolerance level.
Interesting. They seem to be having a sale right now where I can get a rad neon pink colour “b” variant vape for 20€. Is this any good?
And compared to smoking with coal filters, are capes less damaging in terms of smoking? Afaik, it should be because you’re essentially only inhaling hot air instead of actually burning matter, right? Not a huge concern for me, but something I’d be interested to know.
I have no experience with the B but I think they should be fine. It’s the same tip as the M but just a silicone stem. There will be a durability difference in relation to stainless steel obviously but that’s why it’s cheaper.
Make sure to watch a few videos because there is a little bit of a learning curve and the activity itself is different from smoking a joint.
With regards to health vaping is currently assumed to be definitely less hazardous.
I went ahead and ordered the B. Looking forward to giving it a go. Thanks for the recommendation :)
No problem man. I hope it works out for you! I found it something to get used to after I stopped smoking tobacco 5 years ago but I went haven’t looked back ever since.
Enjoy!
Anyone in here roll them backwards or inside out? That’s my favorite way, burn off the excess paper. You look like a true pro rolling those ones
Dutch style.
We call that “a bandiera” in Italy
Do you use OCB Coal filters? These can be a little bit tricky to get rolled into a joint. I like the Curved OCB Tips the most, maybe give them a try to up your game. Although this looks pretty good for a start.
Yea, I’m using coal filters as they’re a little more pleasant to smoke with. I used to choke a lot smoking through paper filters. But thanks for the suggestion - I’ll keep it in mind!
Does the “good stuff” not get yoinked out of there with a charcoal filter?
Not to my knowledge. The cannabinoids and terpenes go through the filters, and the rest you don’t want to inhale are filtered out. Makes for a more pleasant smoking experience all around - less itching, less coughing
Sweet I’m going to give it a try. I smoke joints the way other people smoke cigarettes, so I feel like it would make a difference.
Yea, cigarette filters aren’t what your looking for for sure lol. According to my research, they also filter a substantial amount of THC in addition to anything else that might be filtered by them, so it’s not an ideal high. You’re probably better off just using self-made paper filters. Charcoal filters are where it’s at, though
Oh nah, I smoke joints with glass filters that I cut myself out of borosilicate tubes. I meant “the way other people smoke cigarettes” as in quantity and frequency; I average 10 joints a day, every day. I’d smoke more if I could but I just don’t have the time 😂
I did experiment with packing Top tubes with weed but the cigarette filter takes out “the good stuff” which is why I was skeptical of the charcoal ones.
Oh, yea sorry lol
So far, I’m quite content. Now glass filters, though. What’s their deal?
Yeah i feel that, i only smoke with charcoal filters(for 3+ years) :D Have you tried the purize filters? I find they dont have as much of a taste of their own. Sadly not every kiosk or gas station offers them but headshops usually have them.
These seem quite similar to what I’m using. What’s the difference exactly?
Good question, maybe it’s the size of coal or the thickness/shape of the ceramics, but i found they taste less of coal.
Huh. I’ll have to try those sometime
Looks good to me! I haven’t rolled a joint in a decade, maybe I should change that
🙏🏻
How do you smoke?
I just pack a bowl or take an edible
I haven’t packed a bowl in more than a decade. Joints and blunts for me 100% of the time pretty much
I just vape my lemonade scented extract so my neighbors don’t complain about the smell
Try to make sure there’s no herb between the filter and the paper, makes getting it tight around the filter much easier. Once you manage to tuck the paper around the filter nicely and have a nice grip around that part, it’s much easier to get the rest of the joint tight as well. And when the joint is properly tight around the filter, the filter won’t fly off when you shake the joint from the other end to get it tighter.
Tldr just make sure you get the paper around the filter good and tight, the rest will fall in place
Listen to this man!
Hey thanks.
That’s not common for someone to say about me, haha.
Try to succeed, and avoid failure.
“Wise words!”
Nice work. Good use of the roach. When I roll it takes me about 10-20 minutes and while that’s a long time for some, I just prefer my joints to have a more packed feeling. My advice is to get a set of “tools” or just one, which will act as a poker and a tamper to pack your leaves down in the tube before you seal it. Helps avoid the bit of a gap you have at the bottom. You’ll notice a better pull on the smoke when you inhale and your joints will burn more evenly/waste less weed. Happy smoking from California.
If your packing and rolling game is good enough, you can just pinch the tip and shake the joint to have it tamp down itself.
