Couldn’t find another thread on this topic so I hope it’s not repeated. I was just wondering how many of you guys and gals out there use filters in your joints or no filter and why. 
it was recently brought to my attention that the reason some of my joints run is because I use a filter so I stopped using a filter for a while and some of my joints still run.
what are your thoughts.

I roll up some thick paper to use as a filter but truth be told I don’t smoke many joints. I mostly use a glass bong or bigger size glass bowl

Not sure where i read it but someone said it’s (a joint) like a clean fresh bowl every toke. Great description. I think i prefer a filter. Typically it’s just the really dry stuff that runs and “that should not be!” Lol
Edit: i also love a nice slow oily joint that takes 20 minutes to smokeand you can taste every toke. Mmmmmm

I always roll a crutch with a small strip of an index card. Really improves the experience not getting little bits of weed in your mouth, and most of the time they will burn more evenly because it gives the joint more structure.

Yep, paper filter and no messy roaches laying around.

I actually have a book of my favorite “filter paper”
Problem is i don’t know weight or any identifying marks so when it’s gone it’s gone

I actually write on my filters to id the strain if i roll multiple joints. ( Usually road trip only) I also like a freshly cut with sharp scissors so i don’t knock off the trichs ( Like in a grinder) joint.

Fresh is best.
Guess the fastberry did its job hehehe.

Yes. I usually use a bong at home, but when I’m going to visit family out of town for a day or so, I’m not going to stand on their back porch in the snow sparking up. I make up some minis up, RAW cones. No one even knows I stopped smoking cigarettes months ago, I still take my smoke breaks, lol. Good time to either have a couple tokes or just take a breather.
I found it was simply too hot. It needs a little extra space to cool of and to hold onto. I pack mine a bit tight so they slow burn, I suspect that might be why they’re so damn hot.

Only if I have company over and am trying to be classy lol. I like a nice greasy no filter doob that leaks resin all over your finger 
I smoke bowls like 99% of the time though.
And ya doobs are almost like a fresh bowl each toke. It’s because alot of the trichs are being vaporized before the cherry even gets to them. Buy some of those clear papers and you can watch the resin bubble off before the cherry hits it…cool shit

Raw tips all day. Easier to hold like a cigarette, cleaner, no bits in my mouth. No roaches, I roll 0.5g joints and smoke nearly to filter without burning my fingertips like with a regular roach.
I’ve been through a whole tree’s worth.

Always with a filter. I’ve been at this too long to end up with greasy ass doobie poop smeared all over my lips. Bleh, so bitter, overwhelms the taste of the herb by the time you’re halfway done.
But at home I’m a glass bong guy, small fresh hits, take the whole thing. Change the water after every session. Best way to taste my flower to the fullest if I’m smoking it, or at least that’s my experience.

I use a filter, like one for ciggarrets. I used to use roaches … Rolled up bits of card, usually the papers packet but a couple years back my breathing got bad and i started using filters because it smoothed out the smoke and made it less harsh.
In reguards to your J running, if you mean burning up the side then you probably rolled unevenly in my experience. Make sure whatever is going in is evenly distributed i like to brake it up as i put it in after grinding it. As you roll you can feel the less packed areas and then as an after you can tap it down which is an art form in itself i have seen so many people crush their joints while tapping. Not saying you dont know this but its how i stopped mine doing it. Its sometimes a good idea to let your j dry for a few mins if you slobbered a little too much on it like i tend to hahaha. Plenty of times i just accidentally flame my joint with a lighter and that causes it to run.

Yeah I don’t get this whole “filters make it run” position. Never been my experience, everyone I know and have smoked whole forests with over the last 25 years rolls with filters and not a single person has ever mentioned this to me.
Oh and I should probably mention, since I’m speaking to a international crowd here, even though I know you all grow and love the herb, so it seems ridiculous to even mention…but… it’s a thread about rolling styles and runs are the question… so…
To be absolutely clear, here on the west coast of Canada you DO NOT EVER put tobacco in your joints! EVER!! 
You pull that nonsense around here and the fluffiest crystal gripping peace and love hippie will fly off the handle and beat you to death with a bong. No question, you’ve been warned. Here in BC I’m pretty sure that legally counts as self defense, actually…

I smoke weed and cigs. When I went to Amsterdam, there was no smoking cigs allowed in any of the shops we went to. However you were able to buy a pre-rolled joint that was cut with tobacco. Lots of the local folk smoked the same way, with a bit of tobacco in there. Since being back, I’ve kept smoking it that way…unless using the pipe. I find smoking joints of straight weed super enjoyable, dont get me wrong. But if I’m smoking a blunt to myself in the backyard (happens often), I enjoy the mix more than all weed.
.
By the end of the trip, I would roll smokes with zigzags and just light up wherever we were. Bad, bad…I know, I know.

I mean honest truth, I smoke cigs as well a d roll en myself a d sometimes I just love laying a nice snake of hash down the middle and a good proper blunt is great ad well. So yeah, I’ll do it some but it’s more that I’m adding ganja to my cigarettes!
You pass somebody a big fat blunt, well, they should know what they’re in for and it’s fine. But hand somebody a spliff that looks like a regular joint without mentioning that it’s got tobacco in it? Well that’s when the hippie hits ya with the bong!

Yeah, I don’t smoke cigs ( except that one time that made me feel sick for 2 weeks with the homemade wine when I was 13 years old) so if there’s tobacco in there it makes me turn green 
immediately and if I recover 
then I would smash you over the head with my bong!
