A Short Guide to Pre-Rolled Cones
If you're a stoner, then you know that there are many different ways to consume cannabis. You can smoke it in a pipe or bong, or you could bake it into a snack of your choice, or even roll it yourself. But what if you want to make things a little easier on yourself? That's where pre-rolled cones come in!
Pre-roll cones are pre-rolled joint papers that come in the cone shape. This saves you the hassle of having to roll your own joint, and its shape enables you to pack more cannabis than compared to a hand-rolled joint.
There are many different brands of pre-roll cones, so it can be tough to decide which one to buy. But don't worry - we're here to help! In this short guide to pre-roll cones, we'll give you a brief rundown of everything you need to know about these pre-rolled cones!
There are two main components to pre-rolled cones, the filter and the paper itself. Pre-roll filters are commonly made of thick pieces of cardboard that have been rolled up allowing for airflow while blocking loose plant material from getting into your mouth. There are also companies that offer glass filter tips that enable you to re-use your filter tips, but we’ll be focusing on cardboard filters in this article. Cardboard filters can come in many sizes but generally, the most common filter size that you’ll find for pre-rolled cones is 26mm. It’s also important to keep in mind that filter size will directly affect your smoking experience. Shorter filters will result in harsh throat hits while longer filters result in lighter, cooler hits. A 26mm filter tip is a good middle ground and will generally fit the needs for the majority of consumers.
Regarding papers, smokers have a wide range of options available. Hemp papers and wraps are all the rave today, but generally when you’re purchasing a pre-roll at a dispensary, the most common papers are either going to be white or brown. Many brands have been coming out with terpene-infused blunt wraps and papers enabling you to add even more aroma to your smoke. Another crucial element of pre-rolled cones comes down to the size of the paper. Generally, pre-rolled cones are measured in millimeters. When you go into a dispensary, most pre-rolled cones are going to come in three general sizes:
- 83mm or the “1¼”: fits 0.7g
- 98mm or “98 Special”: fits 1.0g
- 109mm or “King Size”: fits 1.3g
The most popular size that you will see is the 109mm, also known as the “King Size.” King Size cones are popular in that it’s added length not only adds to the burn time, but its capacity also enables you to share with others!
Today, cannabis consumers have a variety of options when it comes to rolling papers, however, it is important to keep in mind that the pre-rolled cone that you choose can have a drastic impact on customer perception of your brand. Some papers have different selling points, for example, some may burn slower than others while others may provide a better smoke, so it’s important to understand your consumer’s needs and preferences.
