TRICKS AND TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE THE BURN EFFICIENCY OF A JOINT
Improving the burn rate of a joint is something all weed smokers think about every now and then because all weed lovers want to enjoy the best experience possible from cannabis. Each cannabis smoker is different and as such some prefer their joint burning slowly to ensure they savor the euphoric feeling being experienced while some prefer it fast. The rate at which a joint burns is critical to determining the quality and level of euphoria gotten from smoking such a joint. So given the crucial nature and importance of the burn efficiency of a joint, this article will be centered on the factors that can affect the burn rate of your joint.
Factors that affect a joint's burn rate
The strain of kush - The inherent characteristics of a strain plays a huge role in whatever it is you want to utilize such a strain for. So it goes without saying that the strain used plays a role in the burn rate of a joint.
Level of moisture - The level of moisture present in a joint plays a direct role in how fast it burns. And like most of the factors that affect the burn rate of a joint you can adjust or alter this as you see fit via several treatment techniques. After harvesting, the different treatment processes that the plant goes through can either make it lose or retain moisture. And it's no news that drier plants burn faster than those containing moisture.
Rolling Papers - Most people that aren't particular about the brand of rolling paper they use often complain about how fast their joint burns out. The density of the rolling paper would determine how fast your joint burns. With a thin rolling paper, you have more burn time because a larger amount of air would pass through. Each rolling paper is different, some are thicker and burn relatively fast while some are not as thick and burn more slowly. So depending on how fast you want your joint to burn, opt for the best smoking paper for you.
Tightness - This is highly dependent on how well you can roll up a joint. And although your blunt can't always be 100%, for it to burn efficiently, it has to be tight. However, it shouldn't be too tight as that makes it difficult to drag. Loosely rolled joints burn a lot faster than tightly packed ones but unlike a tightly packed joint the burn efficiency will be inconsistent and overall the experience can be unpleasant.
Grinding - The burn rate of a joint can also be affected by how well the kush was grounded. There are different types of grinders, all with diverse efficiencies and strength. So to get a properly grounded weed, be sure to make use of a good grinder. A lot of weed lovers get deprived of quality smoke because of uneven grinding that occurs because of the use of terrible grinders and there are even cases where some make use of their hands instead which is absolutely not advisable. If you want to get the best out of your joint, get a grinder that ensures your kush is ground evenly hence making it burn slowly.
Additives - The inclusion of some additional substances can also play a huge role in determining the burn rate of a joint. Additives such as like honey are added to ensure a joint does not burn out fast. Some people lay the honey inside the joint before rolling up to help slow the burning process and also to get that honey taste while smoking while some put the honey around the rolling paper after rolling, but care should be taken with this technique as it tends to get messy.
Other Factors:
Apart from the factors mentioned above, there are a few other means through which you could manipulate the burn rate of your joint. And of all these, the easiest and arguably most common technique is rolling up your weed backward. Rolling your joint backward would help reduce the rate at which it burns and would also help minimize the amount of rolling paper smoke you inhale thus reducing the risk you're exposed to.
The level of heat applied while smoking can also determine how fast the burn rate of your joint will be. Applying too much heat can make it burn out faster than desired, so a relatively milder source of heat is often preferable as it makes the joint burn slower and smoother thus aiding a much more enjoyable smoking session.
Bottom Line:
There aren't a lot of things that provide mindblowing euphoria like smoking weed does so it's always so sad whenever a weed smoker complains about his/her smoking experience because of avoidable rookie mistakes. If you used to be in this category, hopefully with what you've learned in here you can upgrade your kush game and get into the top 1% of weed smokers. Burn wisely and stay high!!!
