from spilling out of your joint, past the filter, when you transport it? whenever i roll one, i can't take it with me anywhere, because when i carry it in my tin or whatever it all falls out through the filter
If your filter is letting bud through, it's not serving its original purpose. Just roll the filter more so it blocks the bud from falling out as well as sucking through when you smoke.
It's actually a roach, as it doesn't really filter anything, but I'm sure some do in your parts, probably the more civilized stoners.
Eh, if you want to be extremely liberal with the definition I guess you could cover it as filtering the relatively large plant mass from the smoke, but it's not really true to it's intended connotation. Maybe I'm just used to hearing it in a chemist's setting where filters carry specific purposes and meanings, but I guess that works outside of the lab.
that's wonderful! i totally make my filters like the first one. oops. =p i'm new to joints, i've always been a bong/pipe kinda girl, but i've taken to rolling joints because they're great for concerts and whatnot. thanks everyone else for your advise, also
that´s too bad. you should really try it. i dont really ever want to hit a joint that doesnt have one. it´s a much nice smoke and prevents the end from getting all sloppy
Sloppy? Its not a nipple my man. Honestly, I have never seen a tip on a j. Those that slop all over one get banned.
I hate filters, they take too long to make and put in, and the fuss is over NOTHING. If you pinch the paper like you're supposed to, then it wouldn't be popping out. I wonder how many trees this forum could save in a year by NOT smoking with filters?
