PRE ROLLED VS ROLL YOUR OWN

Ever wondered about the difference between pre-rolled papers and the papers you roll on your own?

Let us first clear what are Pre rolled papers.

Pre-rolled papers or also called as Pre-rolled cones are excellent for smoking your stuff precisely because they have already been rolled (typically by a machine). If you don't have any experience with hand-rolling (or have joint pain in your hands), pre rolled cones are a great way to enjoy smoking. If you are a beginner who does not know how to roll a joint or straight up lazy to roll one, pre-rolled cones are a boon for you. They usually come in different sizes and flavours. You can always buy one according to your preference. Here at slimjim we offer a wide variety of flavours to give you a joyous experience. All you have to do is scoop,fill and enjoy.

 WHAT ARE SOME PROS AND CONS OF PRE-ROLLED PAPERS

 PROS:

- Easy to use for beginners:

Pre rolled cones are easy to use for beginners because they are conveniently ready for consumption all you got to do is grind your stuff and fill it. It keeps you from carrying all the other complex smoking accessories and saves space for more stuff.

-Less time consuming:

Cones are convenient because you save time using them. Each pre rolls take only a few minutes whereas, manually rolling joints take significantly longer.

-Variety in sizes and flavours:

As mentioned above you noticed different flavours in your cone but they also come along in different sizes, from

supernatural cones(280mm) to 1-1/4ths(83mm)

 

From top to bottom:

• 1¼ Cone (83mm)

• Kingsize Cone (110mm)

• Peacemaker Cone (140mm)

• Emperador Cone (180mm)

• Supernatural Cone (280mm)

 

 CONS:

 As convenient as these cones are, the also have a few drawbacks.

-They can be comparatively expensive: 

The unfortunate reality is that these cones can be expensive but if money is not an issue to you this curse is not for you. But again these cones are usually machine made and save you from all the hassle of rolling your own hence they are a bit expensive. Prices in India go from 15/- to as high as it can get depending on the quality, flavour, type and most importantly the brand.

-They can be damaged easily:

Because of the shape of the cone, if removed from the packaging they can be crumpled easily hence it is very important to handle the product with extreme precision and care.

-Sold individually:

Cones are usually sold in individual pieces and not as a packet. With rolling papers multiple joints can be rolled at once. This can be a deal-breaker for many smokers. But again money is not your concern or you are smoking in groups and the cost will be divided equally then this is not a curse for you.

 

Now lets talk about manually rolled papers or Roll your owns.

Rolling papers are specialty papers usually used for making your own cigarettes and joints according to your own craft. You can roll it in any shapes, any size and any volume its totally on the discretion of the roller. Unlike pre-rolled cones these rolling papers come in packs of several cigarette sized sheets often folded inside a high quality carboard wrapper with brandings on it. It is also known as blanks. Like pre-rolled papers here at slimjim we also provide a wide variety of roll-your-own papers. They come in different flavours and sizes.

What is special about the raw supernatural 12'' paper?

Raw Supernatural -12 INCH Smoking Papers are a massive 12 inches or 280mm in length. These super natural classic papers come in a thick outer packaging to protect the papers. The papers themselves have a natural light brown colour due to the hybrid blend and unbleached fibres, which results in a thin golden brown almost translucent smoking paper.

Each paper is individual watermarked with a Criss Cross which helps prevents runs and creates a more even burning rolling paper. Due to Hemp Gum being used if the gum does not stick as well as you like run the flame of your lighter along the length of the paper to give you a bit more stickiness. Once alight the taste is clean, pure and natural. One single pack contains 20 rolling papers.

 

WHAT ARE SOME PROS AND CONS OF MANUALLY ROLLED PAPER.

 

PROS:

-Quantity:

Each rolling pack consists of 30 to 100 leaves depending on the brand, flavour, size you buy. If you are hosting a party and you have a big group of smokers this is your biggest boon.

-Easy to carry:

These rolling papers are usually compact in size and are easy for you to carry they do not take up much size and they usually fit in your pockets. There are less chances of damage because of its perfect and precise packing and they are also lightweight in nature.

-More affordable than pre-rolled cones:

If monetary expense is a concern for you or you wanna have cooler smoking accessories(check out our website) and not spend more on rolling paper as you are a pro and you already know how to roll this is the best option for you. This is a much cheaper option because unlike pre-rolled cones they are not sold individually, the papers are sold in packs and even if you goof up in rolling you always have another paper without burning a hole in your pocket.

-Customizable as per your own choice:

Rolling papers offer smokers unlimited freedom to control and select the size and shapes they wish to smoke. This isn’t possible with pre-rolled cones as they come pre-processed with a definite width and length. Moreover, rolling papers are available in various materials such as rice, hemp, and wood papers.

This is a cross joint. 

 

This is a spearhead joint.

 

This is a scorpion joint.

Remember, when you roll on your own you can get as artistic as you want with your joints and always impress your friends or partners.

 

CONS:

-Time consuming:

Rolling a piece of paper can always be more time consuming than just grinding and filling up the cone. Sometimes when handled without precision may lead to a lose/light joint which might result in side-burn or improper burning of your paper and you might have to re-do the process again. 

-Non beginner friendly:

There is always that one person in the group who does not know how to roll but is always ahead when it comes to enjoying your hard work and we think it gets annoying after a point when the responsibility of rolling falls only on one person. Rolling a joint is tough and it gets even tougher once you are high.

 

However, if you do not know how to roll one, be a good friend and take a look at the steps below and learn how to roll one.

- STEP 1: FOLD YOUR FILTER
