What are Cones?

Cones are empty joints that you can fill with smokables such as tobacco or weed. A joint sleeve consists of a filter tip and a rolling paper. They have a conical shape, meaning that the top is wider than the bottom. This makes a cone the perfect shape for a joint. The standard length for a cone is 109 mm (King-Size). That is the same size as most long rolling papers. They are also available in other sizes. The tissue paper used to make the sleeves can also vary. To sum up: cones are pre-rolled joints that you only have to fill yourself.

Why should you use joint sleeves?

These cones or joint sleeves are extremely popular in head shops. Not only the small packages of 3 pieces, but also the big boxes of 1000 pieces are sold regularly. But why do people use joint sleeves? A few reasons:

  • Not being able to roll your own joints is the main reason for using cones. You only have to fill the sleeves and you can light your joint.
  • When you use cones you can be sure that your joint will always be of the same quality*. Your joint is always conical in shape and burns slowly and evenly. The tip works well, giving you enough smoke and preventing you from getting pieces in your mouth. 
  • You can make joints faster. Some cone fillers also allow you to make several joints at once. This is why they are used by coffeeshops to make pre-rolled joints..
  • HSleeves are useful if you want to smoke joints in different sizes. For example, rolling a large party joint is very difficult. A large party cone can offer a solution. Or do you prefer to smoke small joints? Then Slim-Size will do the job for you.

* The quality of your joint depends partly on how you fill the cone. If you do this correctly you will always have a joint that burns well. The material and shape of the tip and the rolling paper are always of the same good quality.

How to fill Cones?

To make a beautiful joint using cones, you just have to fill them the right way. Fortunately, a small filling device is included in each package. Nevertheless, it is important that you take a number of things into account.

The first is the content of the joint. The weed you put in must be well crumbled and must not contain any branches. Therefore use a grinder to crumble the weed. Large pieces of weed can cause a build-up in the joint, making it unpleasant to smoke. Branches can tear or make holes in your joint, making it harder to inhale. Do not grind the weed too finely. This will also clog up the joint. If you use tobacco or tobacco substitute, do not grind it too finely. 

Secondly, the structure must be right. Do not overfill the joint and do not pack too much. If the contents are too compacted, the joint will not burn as well. A structure that is too loose is also not good. It causes an uneven burn and can cause the contents to fall out of the joint. 

We recommend that you first fill the cones completely with smokables. Then tap the bottom of the joint on the table a few times, so that everything sinks to the bottom. Then grab the filled joint and gently roll it back and forth between your fingers to distribute the contents over the entire joint. Then close the joint by folding or twisting the top of the rolling papers inward. You can then light the joint and smoke it.

Cone Fillers

Do you want to make it easier on yourself? With the help of a cone filler you can fill joint sleeves faster. With some you can also fill several at the same time. These are the best joint rollers in our collection:

  • The RAW Cone Filler can fill one joint at a time. Flip the device open, fill the channel with the contents of your joint, connect the rolling papers to the attachment on the side and slide the top back and forth. The RAW Cone Filler can also be used as a sleeve stopper. Tip: RAW Cones work best in this filler.
  • Using the Cone Artist , you can also fill one joint. Remove the orange rod from the funnel and replace it for your empty joint. Fill the top of the funnel and drop the contents into the sleeve. You can also use the Cone Artist to make your own cone with your own tip and rolling papers.
  • With our Jointmaker Joint-4 you can fill four joints at a time. Simply place 4 empty sleeves in the designated slots, fill the top with the weed and optionally tobacco, shake the Jointmaker Joint-4 well back and forth and take out the joint. Check the structure of the joint and you're done!
  • The Jointfiller 25 is the ideal tool for making many joints at once. This square box has 25 slots for joints. Remove the lid from Jointfiller 25, fill the holes with cones and spread the contents of your joints over the top. Shake the joint filler and tap the bottom regularly on the table. When all the joints are filled, place the lid at the bottom which causes the joints to elevate slightly upwards. Take them out, check the structure and smoke.

Tip: Good alternatives to cones and cone fillers are joint rollers. These are small joint rolling machines that allow you to make your own joint with your own tip, rolling papers and smoking materials. Examples are the Futurola Joint Roller, the Cone Joint Roller by RAW and the previously mentioned Cone Artist.
