Filter Tips: Your foundation for the perfect joint
No more tobacco crumbs in your mouth or unstable ends! If you value clean enjoyment and a stable rolling experience, classic cardboard filter tips are your indispensable partner. They are a simple but equally ingenious basis for every good joint or roll-your-own and are part of the basic equipment. Here we explain why these little cardboard strips make all the difference and how you can find the right ones for you.
More than just cardboard: why a good tip is essential for your joint
A small strip with a big effect! A high-quality paper joint filter (also known as a tip) offers you decisive advantages that go beyond mere filtering - because they don't have a real filtering effect like activated charcoal. Their strengths lie elsewhere:
- ✅ Enjoy crumb-free: Your reliable protective shield against loose herbal or tobacco residue in the mouth. Nothing disturbs the flavour!
- ✅ Stability & shape: Gives your work the necessary backbone. No buckling, firm hold - from start to finish.
- ✅ Deluxe turning aid: Makes rolling noticeably easier, sets the shape and ensures a clean result, especially with conical shapes.
- ✅ Comfortable distance: Protects fingers and lips from the heat. Relaxed enjoyment, puff by puff.
Find your perfect filter tips: The right choice with cardboard & paper
The world of cardboard filter tips is more diverse than you might think! To help you find exactly the tip that suits your style, here is an overview of the most important differences:
Folding aid or complete freedom? Perforated vs. non-perforated filter tips
- Perforated filter tips: Ideal for quick and easy folding. The predetermined crease line (perforation) makes it easier to fold a stable "W" or "M" inside. Perfect for consistent results and when you're just starting out.
- Unperforated filter tips: There are no specifications here. You determine the fold, shape and strength yourself and can let your creativity run wild! For all folding pros and individualists among you.
The look: Classic white (bleached) or natural (unbleached)?
- A question of personal style: bleached tips are neutral white. Unbleached versions (often brownish in colour) do not require bleaching agents and have a more natural look. Both fulfil their purpose reliably - simply decide according to your taste.
The right format for your tip joint: wide, slim or conical?
| Format | Ideal for: | Details/dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Wide/Large | If you like to twist a little thicker or prefer more stability. Easy to twist & hold (bestseller!). | approx. 25-30 mm wide |
| Slim/Extra Slim | Discreet, thinner, shorter self-twists (e.g. 'Stickys', so that the tip doesn't take up half). | approx. 15-20 mm wide |
| Conical tips | The logical choice for thick Cones! Makes it much easier to turn the wedge shape and supports the classic joint shape. | Also available in wide and slim |
💡 Tip: Which format is the right one depends largely on your personal preference and the way you prefer to twist. The dimensions are good guidelines, but the feeling when rolling and smoking is crucial. Feel free to try out different widths and shapes to find your favourite!
Extra comfort: Pre-rolled tips
- No desire or time to fold? Pre-rolled tips are the most convenient solution. Simply take them out of the pack, place them in the paper and you're done. Saves time and guarantees a perfect shape every time.
Quick Guide: The perfect filter for joints & co. - How to roll your tip
Folding a filter for joints and other Rolling Papers isn't rocket science either! With this simple technique, your tip will sit securely:
- Crease: Fold one end of the cardboard strip 2-3 times over each other in a zig-zag (like a "W" or "M"). This forms the stable core of your tip.
- Roll: Now roll the remaining, smooth part of the filter tip strip tightly around this folded core. Make sure it is nice and round.
- Insert: Place the finished tip at the desired end of your leaflet and twist everything together as usual. Your stable foundation is ready !
