Some great suggestions there mate.

The one I think a lot of us on the buy and sales side will agree with is the need to adopt payment methods beyond Bitcoin. There are so many better options I’m not going to list them all, but at least one other option would help when the blockchain congestion forces up the network fees. Surely that slows sales on here so it’s in everyone’s interests.

Yeah I agree, I would highly prefer to use XMR for security reasons but the congestion issue is a good point as well. Thanks for your input buddy.

- Ability to @ other Biggaz

- ‘Items’ page shows live BTC price

- ‘Verification’ feature, you pay $20 annually for example. Stand-out ‘Verified’ badge on profile, vendors are more likely to deal with you, customers vice versa, increases odds upon dispute, vendors can offer exclusive verified promo deals in exchange for reduced sales fees, unlocks more profile customisation options; profile themes, username colour etc. Think Amazon Prime/X

- ‘Awards’ function for verification and topics/posts/upvotes/downvotes/buys/sales milestones. These are displayed on your profile as small intricate icons dedicated to each award.

- Ability to change username

- A leaderboard which ranks the most active and upvoted Biggaz

- Ability to search ‘topics’ and ‘people’ pages

- ‘topics’ page categorys, example; General Chat, Official Support, Community Support, Introductions, Promos, Giveaways.

- Ability to bookmark vendors/items which will display them first in the ‘items’ tab

- Credits system; you earn credits by buying / selling products. Credits can’t be sold or bought directly but large amounts can be exchanged for small referral token percentage increases and sales fee reductions.

- List of ‘fraud suspected’ vendors.

- 8MB File Limit increased

- Support for more file types

- Ability to follow/subscribe to other Biggaz and be notified via DM’s when they post, list etc

- Support for other cryptos

- Moderators/more borgs

- All Scotsmen get 99% off all orders 😉🤣

I’d add better content loading management. Loading some heavy-posting biggas pages can be like pulling teeth.

A real navigation. Better hit areas on links. Using this site on mobile can be tedious.

Integrate Tailwind Css - give it all some style. Improve the UX

The ability to delete your account.

Rep system. Both for vendor/customer ratings. Make reputation more transparent. So we don’t just have to rely on reviews.

Massive discounts for anyone living on the South Coast.

Global search with filters, Algolia/Elasticsearch integration?

Currency in £. Never understood why we pay in $

How about everyone from north of England gets 99% off? 😂

With the changing name thing though it should be like on Steam where you can see previous names so we're not all trolled out of existence.

Some very good ideas here my friend, thank you endlessly for your input!

Yah the fraud suspected tag should link to all of them

Dark mode would be a real treat

More steps needed to create an account

Freedom for our incarcerated Biggas ✊🏻

Yep yep yep, maybe instate some trusted biggas as moderators if they want it and when the rules are clarified. It's like the wild west here at times

Yeah lots of good things here Whiz420, completely agree :). My friend, who's very tech savvy and uses dark nets a lot, found LB hard to understand and navigate at first look, and that put him off. Took me a while to figure it out too so it could def be more user friendly. The community and choice is amazing (and everyone from the borgs to the vendors and fellow smokers has been incredibly kind and helpful to me), and that can get a bit lost in the layout of the site.

'Keyword' search is good but you could also break the 'items' up into categories (also the 'topics') - and also make 'people' and 'topics' searchable, so they're more easily browsable, as Budzinho was saying. I second their idea of letting you bookmark vendors as well and notifications. Would be much easier to keep up with new drops from favourite sellers! The smaller growers sell out fast ;)

My friend was also very surprised that XMR isn't used as it's fully anonymous (I believe) and no more difficult to use than Bitcoin - plus is used widely on DNMs. At least to give that alternative option. After all, Bitcoin really isn't anonymous at all, unless you send it with XMR as one of the steps.

Anyway, just my two cents! Haven't really added anything new but agree with the other biggas.

Yeah, LB looks like a RuneScape forum from 2004 to be honest. I'm sure someone able would provide a UI for free at this point.

I've also dabbled in the odd market and there is some strong competition out there, but I prefer to shop on LB actually.
Great weed, great community, and honestly better prices than I'm used to.
I also have a tech savvy friend who moans about the Bitcoin thing. Well, he's into the whole tails thing so BTC defeats the purpose a bit.

I agree with all your points, and if anyone's wondering what I want for Christmas this year it's that all our wishes come true. I do really love LB, the trusty ol' clunker. Cheers for the input mate.

yes, I've only been here since Sept and I love it too :) - great people, weed and prices. Very reliable too, and I haven't had any issues that haven't been quickly resolved, by the borgs or vendors. Also, the ordering/payment process has been really easy and smooth for me. Went in with zero knowledge of crypto, got some helpful tips from the guides and other biggas, and was away! (and from what my friend told me, ordering/payment can be a ball ache on the markets - at least as of a couple years ago, haven't asked him since).

I just think most of the things we've discussed can't be that hard to implement and they'd really streamline the user experience for biggas (but I have very little technical knowledge about these things).

But yeah, currently smoking some humble shake/trim from Green Cat ($100 for 2oz), and it's better than most weed I've smoked from the street and strong. And I love speaking directly with some of the amazing growers on here and smoking their wonderful flower. So I ain't going anywhere else :)

😂😂😂
Man made a RuneScape reference, Apex knows it very well 👀

Hey biggaz
I’m quite new here and found it a bit confusing to navigate at first but now i’ve got the hang of it, it’s a lot easier.
in terms of improvements, I think having multiple payout options instead of just BTC would be great. I also think keyword search should be expanded to all sections of the site instead of just in items, so it would be in topics and people as well. Maybe even having a vendor list that has vendors categorised or ranked based on sales, so you can see who the top vendors are and who the new ones are.
I also think we should be able to bookmark or ‘subscribe’ to vendors and biggaz so that on our profiles we see updates from the vendors and people we like and trust so that we don’t miss out on new items and posts.
I also think it would be great to have a more organised topics section and maybe have some more categories that are easily accessible. I love how there are already pages for ‘buy help’ and ‘wanted items’ but i think it would be great to have more of these and also have them easier to find and be able to save them as well as i found it quite difficult to find the ones i was looking for to begin with. I also think having each post dated would help massively as well as i often find myself going through something that was months old and didn’t realise.
that’s just my 2 cents on LB, but honestly since finding this community and page a couple months ago, it has been amazing and i can honestly say it’s changed my life already, and it’s the only online community i am happily a part of.

Stock counter is a must and would prevent loads of complaints and scams.
Dark mode would be great as this page is a literal flashbang.
As for faster payments we already have a crypto that is cheaper, faster, greener than bitcoin and has also been through court and been cleared as a security... XRP it would improve everything to just switch to this token instead as it does everything better.

I really dont have anything new to add to this as you prety much nailed it and im just echoing

Make vendors need to offer GPG.
Allow other crypto without the insane fees.
Make the topics section work properly.
Fix the thing that makes images go rubbish.

Prevent vendors from relisting with a different product using an existing one.

Explain what the criteria for rating a product is.

Make it clear how to contact support/report shitty behaviour.

Fuck me, they’ve come a long way since my day!

We were limited so built mad one’s out of stolen science glass ware from school 😂

What’s all the bits and bobs for?

I’m tempted to get something for the desk and mighty with an attachment??

Do you mean the percolators? Well, the idea is to make the water bubble up as you're taking a hit, so the smoke goes through water many times, then there's that x3 with the 2 stories and the ash catcher attachment. Makes for a clean smooth hit.

I've seen bongs like this around for as long as I've been smoking, so they aren't exactly new, but they used to be way more expensive.

I came up smoking bongs made of corn pipes and plastic bottles, you guys had it good 😂

It would work very well with a vape I think, and it is Amazon so might as well give it a go.

Pringles tube attached to a shuttlecock tube was a good un we made 😂

Lovely bit of glass man.

Very pleasantly surprised for the price

Hi mate i cant access that other thread can u send the link to society plssss

Cool review buddy. 😎

Yeah, I had a go at making one of these myself using Eddy ingredients. Sort of Blue Peter style!

Looks gorgeous, what did you put in it?

That’s ice cream float badder wrapped in coffee taffy Moroccan hash and rolled in alien breath sugar wax…..vaped like a dream! 😶‍🌫️🤩

Mmm that sounds really good indeed 😍 What vape are you using atm?

This works as a sipper in a dosing capsule in the Mighty, but as a big ripper in the Vapman! 😍

I thought the Vapman was herb only? If it can handle concentrates as well then I might have to get me one of those 🤔 I got the Coil King, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong as I'm not getting a proper hit with it usually, and it runs out of charge way too fast. Good for 30 quid, but I think I made up the difference to an upgrade through wastage

The Vapman rocks for hash- you use a little pie tray adapter. It works for this beluga which is mostly hash but concentrates like resin and wax wouldn’t work very well at all.

I use an AceCup for concentrates, it’s the absolute dogs bollocks and takes carts too!🤩

https://recommendedvapesupplies.co.uk/products/ace-cup

Never tried vaping hash actually. I usually go old school with tobacco in a joint or bong, but my lungs are getting bad so I'd like to get into that. The vapman is quite expensive though.
The AceCup looks very interesting indeed, one of a few contenders for my next purchase. I really wish there was one device that did it all and well though, preferably without costing nut and shell 😂

There's a link attached to the product at the top of the review.
Let me know if there's any points I've missed or you have any questions.

The hash collectives san fran hash is the best on here, Canadian imports for concentrates and the gentleman dealers for your cali weed.

The ICC hash looks amazing, but oh so expensive. Might get a gram of it just to try, but would TheHashCollective's Banana Filtered Hash be a good alternative? Gonna get some TGD Cali for sure, any specific listings to go for? I also like the mix & match approach from TGT (https://littlebiggy.com/item/0SDWuhhqTAPlbAT7pJkAwXNk/view/p)
Is this also good Cali?

TGT's Cali Pop is superb value if bag appeal isn't an issue (they really are tiny buds), and the Kandy Kush is a great smoke too.

All of the stuff I've had from THC has been excellent, but not had their more expensive stuff. The Banana is supposed to be great. I'm smoking some Animal Mintz Cali import hash right now from MKK2020 and that's superb, as is their 3x filter Letcho.

For high quality Cali I'm a big fan of the Grape Cream Cake from Strainsbury's, but I should probably shut up about it or they'll sell out and I won't be able to get any more. InstantGrams Oreoz really hit the spot for me too.

I tried the Cali pop and found it good value indeed, but for value I've had shake that smokes as good tbh. I think I'll go for the banana hash and I'll check the other stuff out. Thanks for the recommendations mate

Shake that smokes as good? Really?! I'd love a link to that as the Cali Pop is always ridiculously good and gets me really high. I find it's the baseline of my expectation for price and quality, but I'm always prepared to save!

Roughly where in Wales are you going? I went to Llandudno years ago and it was entirely populated by Scousers. Found a woman with a Welsh accent that gave my mate a haircut. Just the one. Completely different from the South and West up in those parts.

I find that shake from RealD, Pistach and Justweed does the job as well as the majority of bud I've tried, so that's usually what I go for. I don't have a big budget and I want to be as high as possible all day every day, so it's a great option. We're going to the Newport area to visit a mate. Probably gonna have a road trip somewhere in Wales as well to see some nature and architecture. Any places you'd recommend?

If that’s the case you should try Bulldogs trim.

Great price and better than the majority of shake / super shake ect on here.

Bulldog is honest about what it is.

20g for $40 but it’s there or there about

I would love to get some BB shake, and that price is amazing, but I've never seen it listed? I haven't been on here that long, but I've only seen the Amnesia that I sadly missed out on because I didn't know who he was, and now the Mac that I of course didn't let pass

DM him and introduce yourself and ask. I know he had loads

Definitely worth it. Great in the vape 💨

That did it mate, got some on the way now.

You won’t be disappointed ma man.

As I said best value for money I’ve found on LB as I’ve said before his trim is better than most of the shake on LB. Shake with artistic license. So trim with 2 1/2 popcorn nugs does not make it shake lol 😂

If it's Newport Pembrokeshire then there's loads to do and see outdoors there. Lovely part of the country if you're mainly happy with outdoor activities and/or nice small rural pubs. Loads of decent castles and ruins and whatnot all around. Stunning beaches. Everything is really far apart down there though so a car is pretty much essential. If it's the other Newport, my commiserations.

Hahaha it is actually the latter one 😂 Mainly going for a reunion though, but damn, is it really bad?

It's just more industrial in that part of the South. Very good music shop in the town centre if you're into vinyl. Not as good as Spillers Records in Cardiff though, which is the oldest record shop in the world (established in 1894). I'm sure you'll have fun, and you'll all be baked as fuck anyway with that stash hamper!

I think you're right mate. Well, we decided on a road trip to Pembrokeshire after what you said

You are flying to Wales?😳…have you been before?😵‍💫…..nah nah God bless😂😂…just a joke…lovely lovely place 😍

For dabbing?- Get to Canadian Imports and get a shot of the resin or the caviar. My personal favourite is the budder 🤩 but mine is quite crystally so not great with a pen- you need sticky!

You can’t go wrong- enjoy your hols! 😎

Never been, no. What's wrong with it? Looks pretty in the pictures though, and seeing as I live in Newcastle at the moment almost everywhere is an upgrade 😂
I'll be picking up some Dragon's Breath caviar from CI then, should be good in a pen right?

Yup perfect in the pen👍👍

Honestly mate I was just kidding- you’ll have a great time! 😂👍…you do like sheep though yeah? 😳

Also, if you run to Eddys store tonight Sunday 25/6) he’s offering a hash rosin special cut to $25!! 🚀

Mate, I'm Norwegian. We eradicated wolves from our fauna for sheep. We'll get along fine 😂 I already picked up some hash rosin last Sunday sale, and I'm very excited to try it. It looks so delicious

😎😎…..what’s it like living in Norway?…is Newcastle really better? I love the idea of it….used to go to Copenhagen a bit but not much Scandi experience really…

I love Norway, but I have a wife and son here and moving would be too much of a hassle and my wife doesn't speak the language. Though I suppose there's a language barrier already with those mumbling geordies 😅 It's difficult to compare the 2 because I was living in the country in Norway, which is very nice, but here I live in the city. I do like a peaceful country life though, and I've hear rumors that exists around these parts too.
As for the weed, UK is miles ahead on all fronts except commercial hash, which is also the most available form of cannabis in Norway. UK is cheaper in general as well, and I love that

Interesting mate, thank you👍

Please come back and tell us how your holiday and weed/pen choices went. Genuinely love to know😍..

Will do sir! Thank you very much

Hi Whiz420,

Don't know if you have purchased said apparatus for your stoner orgy. Which sounds ace and already accumulated some tasty gear as it stands. 

Apologies in advance as there is never a simple answer from me. 
 
I know this is a bit arse over elbow but one affects the other in regards to the questions asked.

We're all trying dabs for the first time, and I'm thinking to get either the Coil King AIO or Lightning Pen, and I was wondering which one is more true to the dab rig experience?

Taking that question as stand alone and without the context of the first part I would say lighting pen.

It's more or less a one and done, like using a banger ect great flavour and hit and I'm my opinion closer to using a dab set up. That being said, a few things that you have said would advise against the lighting pen and would be better using the AIO. 

With the lighting pen being more or less a one and done due to the size of the chamber you would have to refill the chamber each time that you would want to use it. If you overfill the chamber it starts to spill out over the top. So you are constantly having to clean it if you put too much in (Which you will). So when you have a look at the lighting pen on rec vapes as default it bundled in with the HDT. As it should because without it it would be even harder to load.  £62 with £49 without. 

The big advantage over the AIO is the wide range of concentrates that you can use with more ease than with the AIO. I know that sounds like a bit of a contradiction but it will become clear. 

So the AIO based on the fact that there will be 4 of you at the cannabis orgy. The AIO can be loaded and reused (depending on what you load it with) in the same cycle without having to re-fill it. So more a hit and pass type of device that I think would be better suited to the situation.

It is also easy to clean if you are changing gear.
 
The down sides would be the fact that the hit and taste is not as close to the full rig experience but I'm willing to live with that because of the AIO is better suited for I want and like to use (more than one hit per load) when I say not as close I'm talking minimal compared with the lighting pen. AIO is a fucking great tasting gravy while the lighting pen is an OK Jus. The gravy is £30 so what you are going to use it for worth the extra money 

The concentrates that you have listed is ideal for the AIO as this is another issue that you have to keep in mind when using the AIO is the consistency of the concentrate. With the AIO the dab tool is attached to the mouthpiece. So harder consistency concentrates is easier to use. Like you wax and crumble. Eddy also has some fucking killer cured rosin that is great in the AIO.

I had the honeycomb from The Gentlemen Dealers. Great taste and good high but very hard to manage with the dab tool attached. I found myself using a dab tool to place that on a dab tool. Now that's just one exampile. Loose budder ect can also be a pain. I used CI live resin also which to begin with was the same but I was X day's old when It was suggested that I put it in the fridge. Which funny enough helped.
 
In regards to gear to buy? You have made a fucking great start as I said. Fuck the list is endless but I have one question and it's a topic that has been debated at great length on here many a time and I don't want this going off track but are you wanting to try import because it's better weed or is it to tick off the stoner's bucket list ? As good weed is good weed and personally. I would take small grown UK weed any time over import but you have that covered with the MAC
.
That aside and based on what you have said 

Anything from the Gentlemen dealers as they have listings to cover must budgets now and a great variety. The Pakistani hash a stand out. Skittles hash a personal favourite. Which I've not tried in ages.

Riley Packs - Cherry Sherbet. After just looking I seen they have some nice looking Gelato 41

GenHub2.0 Gary Payton was fucking lovely 

Been eyeing up MKK shatter 

Anything from CI as mentioned 

I just have to add that carts have not been mentioned. You can't have a cannabis orgy without carts! Sensi Mart has some great 50:50 and some good looking UK small batch but a bit rich for my blood. The can't make my fucking mind up combo's are looking good. Carts, hash, weed add in a concentrate and you have the Biggy box lol 

Hope this helps and you are not sleeping yet. Defo give us an update when your back 

That's a lot of great info mate. I think I'll go for the AIO for this occasion and maybe I'll pick up the lightning pen another time for home/solo use.
The gear has been ordered to my mates gaff in Wales and is already in the fridge, ready to go.
As for the Cali, yeah it's pretty much a checklist thing, though it's also synonymous of quality to many, if it's the proper stuff that's grown with a license under government regulations and quality control. It's gonna be an occasion thing for us though, as I know the bang/buck won't be all that in most cases. Good weed is good weed for sure. But just like there are good home brewers for example, for a special occasion, a nice champagne is usually the go to rather than the 'shine off Bobby down the street even though Bobby knows his shit. 2 of the 4 are gonna be in Amsterdam for a few days before coming over though and I don't want them to be like "meh" when trying the stuff I get. They've agreed to not do dabs there though, as it's something we wanna try all together.
I haven't had the best experience with carts, though those were distillate only, so I'll give the 50/50s a go, good shout mate.

Thanks for all the help man, keep it real

Not a problem. I just hope you have a great holiday but hard not to with what you have said lol

Honestly I think once you have the AIO I don’t think the upgrade is needed unless it was for a e rig, wand or banger and torch.

I did the same not that long ago and popped my Canadian cherry 🍒 hence the Gary Payton recommendation.

Like you I could not sustain that level on ma budget but I am finding a very good balance between them.

Great way of putting it with the booze example and agree 100% again very well put Whiz420.

I get you in regards to the gear you bring. I have a close mate who also is a super stoner. So when we meet up you don’t want to be that person. So aye I get you.

I know someone who is not long back. It’s rosin pressed bud you get in shop now. How times change from back in the day ha ha ha

In regards to carts? Was it the cough 😷 of doom you kept getting? Or just did not like the high?

Take it easy man

Cheers, I think it'll be a good one for sure.
Yeah I'll just stick to the AIO then if I like it. I'm probably not gonna be dabbing all that often anyway, except if the good stuff is on sale like with Eddy. I am thinking of getting a dyna as well soon, as every other post on here mentions it, so it must be quite something. I burnt myself on getting a vape before, (very punny) and bought a "Dazzleaf Herbii pro" which was unable to get me high at all. The gear browns like the soul is sucked from it, I taste the weed, but no stone. Got it for £90 off a local headshop, so that still haunts me a bit.
I did cough a bit from the carts, though I cough more from combustion, which is actually a big problem for me. I smoke a lot and often, so I'm always coughing about driving the Mrs crazy. The high from it felt a bit wonky if that makes sense, and not the couch locked lazy fat bastard fuel I'm after 😂 I've heard the resin carts takes care of that though, so I'll give em a go for sure

That’s the great thing with these products in the grand scheme of things on the budget side but great performance.

I’m much the same you are lucky if I dab once a week if that.

Don’t get me started on dyna lol 😂

Hi Whiz420, this is a comment I made to our TheDazzler on another thread and who has approved a copy and paste here (presumably because he knows I’m right and he’s wrong… 😁 only joking! Just more info!)

Have to disagree with you on the Lightning Pen, Mr TheDazzler. Most reviews do say one hit and done but I find you can put in MORE concentrate than you can stick on the end of the CK built in dab tool! Even when I put in the same amount as I would the CK, I get around a dozen gentle 5sec rips and even if I crank it up I still get around 6-7 good hits (although more vapour seems to escape and I'm tight and want it all so only do gentle rips!!)

Ok it may appear fiddly to fill due to the small cup but I just sort of scrape it over the edge and tamp it down with the included metal dab tool. Easy (ish! - it is a "think of your secretary" moment though, bonus kudos if you know the reference!).

The first hit is about the same in flavour profile for both CK and the LP but after that the LP wins hands down, so flavourful and smooth.

Oh it's been a real hassle comparing the two, what a pain! (in fact my advice to anybody is get both if you can't decide!!) Cheers :)

Just a different opinion not right 🙄

Exactly. One mans wine is another mans piss, is something I say way too often!😁

pissywangango thats my brand

the king AIO is fkn fab bro, i tried with a rig and the shit but all fkn hassle...

Think all your recommendations have been covered… enjoy your holiday in Wales! You should find more than just a few scousers down here that comment had me in creases 😂 it’s funny every expects us to all sound like we’re of Gavin and Stacey 🤣 I don’t even speak fluent welsh ✌️💨 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yep, thanks everyone. I went for the AIO. Figured it's really good for £30, and it should cover my needs easily, which is to get baked 😤😵‍💫🤯 How do people speak over there? Can't be any more incomprehensible than the geordie accent I hope?

Oh forgot to say the rubber mouthpiece cover is the WPA well it is for me 💨💨💨💨

Once you get it hot and vaping try it in the bubbler

Agreed

For the occasional use 💨💨💨

Top Hash ( Letcho punch ) Dr Green thumb is very strong as I ad it to blunts , its good shit.
Cali flower . Kandy Kush and truffles from the green team is very good.

When I grew, I used it to make hash. Now, I grab it to make potent af edibles and energy bars, then max it out at the gym! I love shake!

Ye I’d had it of friends who were growers or from my own grows when I was younger it’s just what falls of all the buds and collects at the bottom (ako bottom of the bag) trim is technically different being the leaves trimmed from around the bud but seems inter changeable on here ✌️

They're never quite right for me with regards to length or width, so I maintain the habit of sticking 3 silver Rizlas together, like a dinosaur.

Dude!! It's been SO long! Everything alright now?

If it's a-okay I'm assuming you did the thing. You're a better man than I am. Everything's holding up fine, other than the fact I'm up to smoking an oz of bud a week now, roughly. Never mind the concentrates, the edibles, the RSO, the shrooms, the Lucy, etc. Still have gainful employment though!

Just finishing off my 7th thunder trumpet of the day, and I try not to get up before noon... Could roll an 8th...?

Well, I think I'm functional, at least!

So, this is my public statement that I'll pay for 7g of any bud you want off here, or any combination to make up that. You're an inspiration to anyone, especially anyone who has the privilege to know you, my friend. Glad you're back too!

Its all too rare to see people having an amicable and friendly interaction respect to both you good sirs, frankly the site could do with less shit housery and more of this 👌🏻

People are making me blush a lot lately! I'm far from heroic, but thank you.

I'm sure we can do both? Vendors, hit us up! RealD had some decent hash going on... Whatever you want though, genuinely.

I have an incredibly focused sense of justice, and always have done; hence my offer dude.

You can keep that chit and call it in at any future date though, as long as I have a little notice.

If you smoke your joints pure then elements and OCB’s are literally what you want! OCB’s I find easier to roll with but elements leave literally no taste or ash apart from off the gum. baffles me how people smoke with raw papers taste like cig 🤮

Got the elements papers and two glass filters. I'm a convert. I'm slowly getting good at rolling cannagar joints. Kitchen torch to light.

raw black king size slims

Recently changed from RAW black to houseplant brown rice by OCB free from all the crap

I use Raw cos they come with a pretty tin

what kind of Raws do you use?

Used to do 2 skinners, licked gum from a 3rd paper then peeled off, stuck remaining 2 papers together, less paper, but now getting older it's just the longer single skinners, blue rizla, silver ziz zag, or raws lights

Used gum from zig-zag papers to stick together 2 papers in the middle of joints, strong gum with the old zig-zags

I’m lazy so I just buy elements cones on Amazon 💀

thats the way! 🤣

Been using Smoking (black package) for years. Love them!

what do you like about them?

They're very thin and burn well. I know there may be others just as good as the ones I use, but never felt the need for change! 😅

With you there, been on blacks for years, but then then the Smoking reds came out (even thinner)!

I personally use blazy Susan's, clean burn and a thin vegan paper also. Plus you get 50! in a pack so all round great product for me. They are pink though so do a few odd looks from fellow stoners 🤣

getting all the girls with GIZEH Pink!! 😆

So I used to use the Raw Organic Hemp papers all the time...until I realised that most of the ones sold in shops are fake. I think there's only one authorised outlet that sells them online here, where you're guaranteed to get authentic ones. Smoked them for the natural ingredients etc and god knows what they put in the knock-offs that are sold everywhere in the UK. So I either get Raw Organic Hemp boxes online or OCB Premium papers in the shops, where you can verify the authenticity with a QR code!

we actually had similar issues when purchasing Elements Papers, as those are in our opinion, the best. Bought 5 boxes of knockoff papers and only noticed because the papers wouldnt stick...
fck fakes! fck fake selling vendors!

Absolutely! F**k the fakes - the Raws I was smoking were actually pretty decent knock-offs (except that I don't know what ingredients went into them!), so I didn't notice until I realised the Raw filter tips from that same shop had 'Made in China' on the back haha...so they don't even try to hide it! Then I looked up the issue online.

What I don't understand is - given just how widespread it is with Raw, including on Amazon etc - why doesn't the company do anything about it?? They must be losing shitloads of sales! And it's not like the fakes are any cheaper I think. Maybe it would be a losing battle to try to whack-a-mole the fakes...

RAWS, always raws

OCB, dark brown pack

Quite partial to a page from a cheap bible you find in hotels.

Usually a blank page in there too 😂😂

Blue Elements. 💨

I'm still using rizla blue king size which is what I was using back in the college days. The green card at the back never lasts two long though which results in me having to use last years Christmas cards as roaches, I knew they would come in handy one day lol.

Raw Blacks or Browns, OCB's or Elements. Or if I've run out I'll stick a few greens for cigs together, only when I'm desperate mind.
So whatever my local shop has when I walk in I guess 🤣

Didnt have access to all the fancy skins available these days back in the day in lil old Ireland so it was red or green and the looks you would get even asking for papers like they knew what you were at 🤣🤣

Greens are emergency use only! 🤣

Cant teach and old dog new tricks now man im red for life 🤣🤣

I must be the only one using standard short red rizla's. Will disgust a lot of smokers but its my thing. I love the ritual of sticking 3 skins and building my joint, 20 odd years at it now, i aint changing now🤣
Which way do others roll, left to right or right to left??

Roach tip on the left, but I'm a lefty 👈🏻

I taper 3 skins by folding the parts above and below the fold, and it's always angled so that the roach goes in the left and the larger part of the slightly tapered cone is on the right.

I've never been able to roll any joint with the roach in, and I always add it at the end. I'm right handed, if this is significant in any way. I rarely fuck this up, but it's often commented on as if I'm an aberration.

I used to do that too man when i started out, roll it, stick the roach in after, its how i was shown, what does it matter man, smoke your way, i was always questioned why i roll left to right as if i was doing something wrong. What ever works is my take, we all just want get stoned 🤣😎

It all ends up as ash anyway right? 😂
