Joint Tips

Buy Top-Quality Tips and Filters

It will probably come as no surprise that, much like the various types of rolling paper, there are many options when it comes to filters and tips for joints and spliffs. If you're looking to buy premium tips and filters, disposable or reusable, and made from a variety of quality materials, it's important to select the right purveyor.

At Zamnesia, we know every smoker has their own preference, and we're here to help you find yours—so you can make a purchase with confidence. But what can you expect from each type of filter and tip? We're here to set the record straight.

Regular paper tips

As arguably the most popular type of tip, paper filters are easy to use, provide satisfactory filtration, and are inexpensive, making them highly sought after. Available as both pre-formed tips and ready-to-roll booklets, paper tips allow excellent airflow and prevent ash and pieces of weed from entering the mouth. The paper used to create these tips typically contains no harsh chemicals and is unbleached to avoid any tainting of flavour.

The only caveat of paper filters is that they become soggy over an extended period (and in the mouths of inexperienced smokers), and thus have a relatively short lifespan.

Activated charcoal tips

Used in a wide variety of settings, activated charcoal catches all kinds of pollutants and toxic compounds, and removes strong odours, making it the perfect material for air filters. Because of these attributes, activated charcoal is ideal for filter tips as well. In addition to potentially making your smoking experience a little cleaner, the fine filtering of unwanted chemicals means users can enjoy the rich, unadulterated terpene profile of their chosen strain.

What's more, activated charcoal tips are available in a wide range of sizes to fit any size of rolling paper you can find. And while they are a little more expensive than paper options, they offer up a robust and resilient method of filtration that can’t be matched. However, some veteran smokers who enjoy classic paper filters may find the use of activated charcoal tips to dilute their experience. But it's clear that the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to these tips. Who wouldn't want a more flavourful smoke where you can really taste all the nuances of your favourite strain?

Glass tips

For those seeking a reusable and more environmentally friendly filter tip, glass tips are also available. Like other types of tips, these are designed to stop any wayward ash or remnants from passing into your mouth as you inhale. Some types of glass tips slot into the paper, while others hold the paper from the outside. In any case, these filters allow you to enjoy the flavours of your strain with absolutely no interference.

Due to their reusable nature, glass tips need to be cleaned over time using a pipe cleaner and hot water. Furthermore, glass tips can be slightly more expensive to purchase compared to other types of filters, but are certainly seen as an investment for any keen smoker.

Cotton tips

Another hugely popular material for filter tips is cotton. Similar to that of paper tips, cotton filters are a cost-effective and efficient way to improve your smoking experience, reducing the harshness of the smoke and filtering out some unwanted chemicals and toxins. Cotton tips simply slot into your paper as you roll, and will keep the heat away from your face as you inhale, and herb and ash out of your mouth.

Moreover, if you're looking to mix up the flavour of your smoke, it's possible to purchase menthol and other flavoured cotton tips to experiment with. This type of filter tip won't break the bank, and while it may not have the same filtration power as activated carbon, it’s a good option for both the casual and veteran smoker.
