filters

[Hot Karl]

what do you guys use for filters?

i generally use bus transfers or the pack/cover of the rollies.

i think i'm paranoid, but does anyone think or know if it affects the taste? sometimes i think it tastes different, and i get sketched out about the ink or any chemicals that might be on the filter.

and any recommendations for alternate filters?

When i smoked we always used the zig zag pack for making coils....i wouldn't worry about the ink too mch considering how carcinogenic the weed is.

[Hot Karl]

it won't really affect my smoking habits per say, but the one thing i do notice is it often gets noticibly ranker when it gets remotely close to the filter. basically i want to find a filter that would not have this problem.

once again, this could just be stupid paranoia

[Scarface]

No , i know what you mean .....I think the filter might be collecting resin , and when that burns you get a harsh toke. But it's better than smoking a greasy roach.

I absoluty hate useing the zags pack as filters. always got a shit load of useless busniess cards around. And i did a little experiment and i found that having filter paper vs no filter does indeed taste diff. but still i rather have the filter cause its easier to finish and i dont collect roaches. Although 1 roach blunt is on the way, got about 60 roaches from the past week something and gonna save it for a dope wake and bake session.

hmm...the hemp shop i buy my papers at has perforated business cards, so when you need a filter you just tear one off the card. pretty sweet idea actually.


a filter shouldn't make anything taste any different unless you smoke past it, which is a bad idea.

the thick buisness rave flyer cards...i always manage to have a couple buisness cards in my purse just for specific filter usage.

sometime i'll bring some cotton in my weed bag n stick a bit of it in the filter coil.... it smokes alot smoother and tastes less harsh

and yeah i never thought about the filter changing the taste. i always put a filter in though. makes smoking alot easier and yeah i dont collect roaches so i like to smoke all of it.

filter paper wise, the best is when you have alot of old ticket master stubs. they are perfect. but if i dont have that around, gum packets, old business cards, old ticket stubs, post card flyers... pretty much anything solid enough will do. i think the taste from the chemicals in the filter can only come into effect once the filter starts heating up.

I use ZigZag Packs or Business Cards, Rave Flyers, whatever is around. Most of the time I don't bother. I don't save Roaches either. So it doesn't matter... the last 1/16th of an Inch really isn't going to get me that much more ripped.

i use matchbooks... lucky strike to be exact... i dunno if u can get those in canada... but they make white matchbooks, so theres no ink to worry about.

[hardstylin]

ive used all kinds of shit for filters!!! but now i just buy packs of end jammers.

You can buy precut filter books.

They're pretty sweet. And they're hemp so no chemicals. Any fine smoke shop will have 'em.
