twisting a cone - a tutorial

[fdd2blk]

an exchange student from germany taught me this in 1985. it takes a few extra minutes but the rewards are well worth it.


getting started......

we need:

wraps
herb
grinder
small piece of notebook paper




step 1:

using three papers create one tapered paper. lay two side-by-side and lick-n-stick at an angle.



now stick the third paper across the top.



roll the small piece of paper into a coil. this will be the filter.



time to grind some herb.

step 2:

lay the herb into the paper placing the filter at the smaller end. place more herb at the larger end.



time to twist.



once it's all twisted up i pack the end nice and flat. make sure not overfill at this point. we need to leave some extra paper at the end.



very carefully we need to twist and push, twist and push. using my finger tips i twist the end packing and flattening it as i slowly crimp the edge.

step 3:

time to open the lid. using the very edge of a flame, lightly burn around the perimeter of the flattened end.



carefully remove. if any edges are still stuck use the flame to re-burn until it lets go.





fire up!!!!!!

instead of the notebook paper i have always used cards (birthday, etc.)

we call them carbs.....

I just rolled a practice cone using some tobacco. I need more practice.

I gave it a shot - mine didn't really come out cone shaped too much though... some practice and I'll get it down I guess.

put your first 2 papers together at an angle. so the bottom is skinnier then the top. make the bottom as narrow as possible while staying on the glue of the other paper. you want the paper in a "cone shape" before starting.

do you guys know how to roll backwards?
if not, you should figure it out... eliminates a lot of unneccessary rolling paper and will give you perfect cones everytime....

first, make the same three paper thing like fdd shows (or if you have the large kingsize papers, just use one of them) then, before filling, fold backwords and at an angle, then carefully glue it together.... wait a bit for it to stick good... then just pop in your filter in the end and pack you're bud down...

i know it a may sound a bit confusing, so i'm gonna go draw some stuff up in paint to illustrate...

Rolling cones gets easier with practice. I rolled up a bunch last night and had a perfect cone on my 4th one.

ok so in pic one is a king sized paper (or just a few papers stuck together...)

turn it over, and fold it at an angle back over itself, so the sticky is facing you (box 2)

fold the part on the right over the sticky, and crease it. then lift that flap, lick the sticky, then replace the flap back over, to seal and thusly make the outer par of the cone... place filter in bottom and stuff weed (3)

twist tip when done, and you will be left with a massive cone joint with a wing, haha... light the wing on fire and watch it burn down to the join and go out, leaving you with a perfect cone joint with no excess paper to smoke... (4)

if done a certain way, when burning the wing off, you can also get it to light the tip of the joint and allow you to start smoking it... quite a show for stoner friends with all the fire and whatnot... haha

nice. a new challenge.

Ah I see. I missed that detail the first time through. My second attempt came out much better - thanks for the tutorial!

 

[DumpsterKeeper]

I like it. I've always heard it explained in a much more complicated way
