What Are Filter Tips?
Filter tips are small pieces of parchment paper, metal, or ceramic that fit onto the mouthpiece of a grinder to collect the finely ground cannabis.
Why Use Filter Tips?
Using filter tips with your grinder can help catch fine particles and improve the quality of your smoke. It can also make cleanup easier and extend the life of your grinder.
Choosing the Right Filter Tips
- Consider the material, with parchment paper being the most common for its convenience and effectiveness.
- Make sure the filter tip fits snugly onto your grinder’s mouthpiece to prevent leaks and ensure a good seal.
- Select the right size and thickness for your grinder, as these factors can affect how well the filter tip works.
How to Use Filter Tips with a Grinder
1. Open the grinder and place a filter tip onto the mouthpiece. Ensure it is tightly secured.
2. Load the grinder with cannabis, and close it. Grind until the cannabis is finely ground, but not powdery.
3. Shake the grinder a few times to loosen any particles that might be stuck. Place the ground cannabis back into your grinder or use it directly.
How to Clean Filter Tips
After using filter tips, remove them and shake them out over a waste bin to discard the cannabis particles. For deeper cleaning, you can wipe them down with isopropyl alcohol or place them in a jar of isopropyl alcohol for several hours.
