Challenges

• Its tough to keep your stash in the paper when
  rolling one up. It falls out the ends and is
  never as thick as you intended. Here are some
  other reasons why rolling joints are difficult.
• ?? They can be too tight to smoke
• ?? They canoe
• ?? They waste your stash
• ?? They never look as good as they should
• ?? They are typically soaked in someones saliva
• The paper rips sometimes too. Not to mention the
  fact that you probably spend too much time
  envying people that can roll expert joints. You
  see their perfect cannons and it just irks the
  hell out of you.??

PRE ROLL CONES

• Ah, the mysterious cone What are these conical
  shaped papers with filter tips? The only reason
  they may be a mystery is because they are just
  not one of the most well known smoking
  accessories on the market. Other than that, these
  wonderful little innovations are not complicated.
• They are usually made out of hemp which is great
  for smoking your stash. They typically come in
  pre rolled stacks. Cones are already rolled
  perfectly every time and many smokers think they
  run even smoother than joints.
• Cones are for sophisticated smokers. ?? Here are
  the advantages of cones vs rolling papers
• You pack cones instead of roll them
• Cones come with built-in filter tips
• Its difficult to overpack them, so air should
  flow well
• They take zero licking or slobbering

HEMP WRAPS

• Hemp wraps are replacing the blunt in popularity.
  Made with pure hemp leaf, these large rolling
  papers look like a blunt wrap, but they are
  better for you and go much better with your stash
  than tobacco leaf does. They also contain no THC
  or nicotine.
• As an alternative to rolling papers, yes rolling
  is still involved, but rolling a hemp wrap is
  easier than a joint. Hemp wraps typically stick
  better to your stash and they have a serrated
  edge that keeps it from slipping up the other
  side of the wrap once youve molded your stash.
• Hemp wraps are also huge next to rolling papers
  so you can fit a lot of your dried herb in them.
  Also, there is a ton of flavor in a hemp wrap vs
  a rolling paper. They take your smoking
  experience to a new level that you can relish
  with each puff. They are also great for sharing.

GLASS PIPES

• The glass smoke pipe has been everyones go-to,
  alongside joints, since the 60s and even
  earlier. Glass smoke pipes are nothing like a
  joint, except that you smoke your dry herb with
  them too.
• Hand-blown glass pipes can be beautiful! ?? They
  have a glass bowl that you pack your ground up
  stash into. There is typically a little carb hole
  on the side of the bowl that you cover with a
  finger to control air flow. The chamber is long
  and can balloon out nicely and then narrow into
  the mouthpiece.
• Really, hand pipes are not comparable to smoking
  a joint. There are no competing flavors, they are
  reusable, easily cleaned and can be a smoking
  companion for life. Heavy hand pipes do break
  though, so you need to handle them with some
  care. You can get double blown glass pipes, even
  triple blown pipes, if you want a more durable
  pipe.

GLASS PIPES
The colorful, beautiful designs typical of glass
pipes add to your smoking experience. To call a
glass pipe an alternative to a joint, just
doesnt seem right. They certainly are an
alternative to rolling papers, but they are
something every toker should have, no questions
asked.

GLASS BUBBLER PIPES

• A glass bubbler pipe is not dissimilar to a
  traditional glass pipe, except they use
  water!??Actually, you dont even need to use
  water in bubblers to smoke them. If you want to
  add water, you can for the added benefit of water
  filtration and a smoother hit.
• You can add a filter tip to a joint if you want
  to. But, traditionally smokers use rolling papers
  without any sort of filter. Their lips and
  fingers can get burnt and the air just doesnt
  flow as well. With a beautiful glass water pipe,
  maybe the most unique glass pipe available, your
  filter is water.

GLASS BUBBLER PIPES
Like a traditional glass smoke smoke pipe,
bubblers will have a glass bowl, a carb and a
mouthpiece. They are larger than your typical
smoke pipe, with an additional chamber below the
bowl where the water sits while you smoke. A
glass stem will extend down from the bowl into
the water. Again, bubbler water pipes are an
alternative to rolling papers, but they are
really a different animal. They are not
inconspicuous and are not as portable as rolling
papers. But, the cool water cools down the smoke
for that smooth hit and they are one of the
prettiest pipes you ever own.

5 GLASS BONGS

• Bongs are often made of glass, but they can be
  made from many different types of materials,
  including plastic, wood, clay, bamboo and
  ceramics. A bong filters and cools smoke with
  water, similar to a bubbler.
• Just like a glass bowl or a bubbler, its tough
  to compare a bong to rolling papers. But, it
  certainly is an alternative to rolling papers. A
  nice 5 glass bong, is most comparable to a
  bubbler. The one main difference is that a bong
  will have a removable slide you can use to
  control air flow.

5 GLASS BONGS

• With a glass bong, you can accessorize it by
  adding larger glass bowl slides that will allow
  for larger quantities to be smoked at any one
  time. Bongs are very easy to clean relative to
  nearly any other smoke pipe.
• Many bongs are really big and bulky. They are
  hard to bring anywhere except maybe from your
  bedroom to your living room. But, this nice 5
  inch glass bong is portable and provides all the
  benefits of water filtration.

12
GLASS ONE HITTERS

• The glass one hitter is the pipe most comparable
  to a joint and rolling papers. Although, they
  still are very different. A one hitter, or what
  is often called a chillum, is a straight pipe
  about the size and shape of a perfectly rolled
  joint.
• The differences between a chillum and rolling
  papers are that chillums are reusable, made out
  of glass, can break and do not hold very much of
  your dry herb. They are similar to rolling papers
  in that they are more inconspicuous, easily
  stored away and very portable.
• One hitters are cheap pipes that are not designed
  for sharing as they only provide a few hits at
  most. But, that is ok, because puff puff pass is
  not as popular as it once was. They are great
  addition to a smoke pipe collection as they fill
  that last niche of being more portable and
  inconspicuous than other glass smoke pipes.

CONCLUSION

• So, there are six ways in which you can continue
  to smoke your dry herb without the added worry of
  dealing with rolling papers. Each method has its
  benefits and drawbacks, but ultimately it is up
  to the smoker to work out the best fit for them.
  Ultimately, the variety of ways to smoke your
  stash only adds to your overall smoke experience.
