cones are named after the paper they're rolled from, then sold by length. three sizes cover almost everything.
- 84mm, 98mm, 109mm. 1¼, 98 special and king size.
- lengths include the filter tip. the paper you fill is shorter.
- capacity is a guide. it depends on how tightly you pack.
- fill in stages. a little at a time beats one big push.
the three sizes
| name | length | holds roughly | for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1¼ | 84mm | 0.5g | one person |
| 98 special | 98mm | 0.75g | somewhere in between |
| king size | 109mm | 1g | a few people |
who's it for?
1¼. 84mm, holds roughly 0.5g. one person.
lengths include the filter tip. what a cone holds depends on how tightly you pack it.
past king size it's a novelty. the RAW Emperador is 180mm, about double. fun once.
how they're sold
singles and small packs
for trying a size or a brand before you commit.
by the 32
RAW sells king size cones by the 32 for anyone who knows what they like.
two to a tube
G-Rollz blunt cones come two to a glass tube, which keeps them from getting crushed.
filling one
- grind it fine and even. lumps leave gaps, and gaps burn unevenly.
- fill in stages. add a bit, tap the cone down, repeat.
- press lightly. a poker helps. firm, not solid. over-packed cones draw hard.
- leave a few millimetres at the top, then twist it closed.
filling a lot of them? a cone creator rolls your own from any paper.
the short of it
84mm for one. 109mm for a few. 98 if you can't decide. pack it in stages and don't press too hard.
