Getting a little better at rolling
Getting a little better at rolling
Since Germany's legalisation, I started rolling joints myself instead of making my SO do all the work lol

Nice work. Good use of the roach. When I roll it takes me about 10-20 minutes and while that's a long time for some, I just prefer my joints to have a more packed feeling. My advice is to get a set of "tools" or just one, which will act as a poker and a tamper to pack your leaves down in the tube before you seal it. Helps avoid the bit of a gap you have at the bottom. You'll notice a better pull on the smoke when you inhale and your joints will burn more evenly/waste less weed. Happy smoking from California.
This is the way. I'm a little bit spoiled and just use preolled cones. But you can still fuck it up. I have real good luck with a 10-12" poking stick, sitting it inside the cone, and then pouring my bud into the funnel. This way the poking stick is preventing the bud from falling until I pull up on it and twist letting only a little bit of bud at a time to fall to the very bottom, tamp down on the bud that fell, and repeat 4-5 times depending on the size of the joint.
Packs it evenly and you don't get that weak spot right after the filter where it never gets packed down.
We have a makeshift tray out of carton that has a crease where I can put the paper with the filter, and we use a little cocktail-umbrella-thingy to push the weed a little further down the joint. Though I didn't feel like I needed it necessarily - I was mostly fine just lightly tapping the bottom of the joint on the table to get a somewhat even distribution.
Which gap do you mean exactly? Don't quite know what you mean
Thanks for the tips. Cheers!
On the bottom right of the joint in your picture, it looks like there's space where you can see through the paper. Get something like a lolli pop stick, and before you tie off the end, tamp the weed down so it's all a tighter pack. The more even the pack, the better the burn.
Oh, yea, I see it now. I think I just squished the paper at that spot so it didn't distribute equally. I'll make sure to try this next time
If your packing and rolling game is good enough, you can just pinch the tip and shake the joint to have it tamp down itself.
