Smoking isn't healthy, but for many people it represents a sense of freedom and personal happiness. For this reason, you want to enjoy your smoking experience while trying to stay as healthy as possible. When smoking tobacco and other herbs, you inhale various harmful substances that can be avoided with an activated carbon filter. The goal is to bind as many harmful particles as possible in your carbon filter. Everything absorbed by the activated carbon filter then no longer enters your body. This makes it possible to avoid additional health risks while smoking.
Why activated carbon filters? - These are the dangers of smoking
It's often the things you can't see that are dangerous. Commercial cigarette tobacco contains more than 600 toxic substances. Some of these are not only unhealthy but are also considered potential carcinogens. Everyone knows that tobacco contains components like nicotine and tar. Less well-known are substances like formaldehyde, polonium, arsenic, nickel, and phenols, which are also present in the tobacco mixture. When your hand-rolled cigarette is burned, harmful gases are released. These include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide compounds, and nitrosamines. In this context, the advantages of a charcoal filter quickly become apparent.
What makes our slim cellulose activated carbon filter special?
Our cellulose activated carbon filter is made from coconut shells. This makes the filter tasteless and allows it to absorb harmful substances particularly well when smoking. Cellulose caps are located at both ends of the filter. These ensure that even more tar is removed during smoking, creating a double filter for your health. Soot particles remain trapped in the filter, enhancing your smoking experience. Compared to activated carbon filters with ceramic caps, even the fine dust from the activated carbon is retained within the filter. At the same time, the activated carbon makes the smoke smoother and cooler. The term "slim" refers to its narrow shape and, for example, in the case of a cannabis activated carbon filter, indicates a tip-like size.
How is activated carbon produced as the starting material for your carbon filter?
Activated carbon is a natural substance obtained from sources such as fruit kernels, wood, lignite, olive pits, or coconut shells. The raw materials are slowly carbonized without the addition of oxygen. The resulting carbon has a highly interconnected network of finely structured pores. This makes activated carbon ideal for filtering dirt and impurities. Because the pores are not all the same size, a wide variety of pollutants are absorbed during the filtration process.

What different types of activated carbon filters are there?
The origin of the activated carbon filter is linked to pipe smoking. A carbon filter with a diameter of about eight to nine millimeters was inserted between the pipe bowl and the mouthpiece. This size was long considered the standard for activated carbon filters as well. However, this diameter is rather impractical for rolling cigarettes or as a joint filter. Thus, the slim activated carbon filter with a diameter of about six millimeters was developed.
How do you use the cellulose activated carbon filter correctly?
If you want to quickly roll a joint, you usually only have some cardboard or simple rolling tips on hand. This is quick, but very dangerous for your health. Without a joint filter, only about three percent of the harmful substances are avoided when smoking. It's advisable to use an activated carbon filter when rolling. Therefore, it's a good idea to always keep a supply of slim cellulose activated carbon filters at home.
What does a cannabis activated carbon filter actually achieve in practice?
When rolling your cannabis joint, it's important to remember to use an activated carbon filter. A joint filter is longer than a regular filter and therefore absorbs more harmful substances when you smoke it. There are no scientific studies on the effectiveness of activated carbon filters. Experts have determined, using a vacuum suction device and a measuring instrument, that approximately 90 percent of harmful substances are prevented from entering the body by the activated carbon filter. After use, you can see how many harmful substances have accumulated in the carbon filter by cutting it open. Even though activated carbon filters are reusable, it's advisable to use a new one each time you use a joint.
Does an activated carbon filter impair your smoking pleasure?
Logically, many people think that a filter not only absorbs harmful substances but can also impair the enjoyment of smoking. This is mainly because, with a joint without a cannabis activated carbon filter, the first puff is very harsh on the throat and lungs. As a result, you usually perceive the first puff as more intense and experience a heightened effect. In reality, the activated carbon filter relieves the lungs, which have to absorb significantly fewer harmful substances. The effects of cannabis only begin to kick in after a few seconds to a minute of smoking. The cannabis activated carbon filter ensures a more pleasant smoking experience and protects your health.
What are the advantages of an activated carbon filter?
A key advantage is the versatility of activated carbon filters for cannabis. They can also be used for rolling cigarettes or for pipes. Among the most important benefits of activated carbon filters is their ability to filter out toxins and harmful substances that would otherwise burden your body when smoking. The filters are available in several sizes, depending on the consumer's preference. From the super slim size with a diameter of approximately six millimeters, carbon filters are available with diameters of eight to nine millimeters. The filters are heat-resistant and consistently perform their function.
Are there any disadvantages to using activated carbon filters for cannabis?
Activated carbon filters are somewhat more expensive to purchase than regular filters without their special features. However, the higher cost is certainly worthwhile due to the improved protection they offer your health. In cold weather, the fine pores of your joint filter can become clogged. But this is precisely where our cellulose activated carbon filters excel, as they function reliably even in sub-zero temperatures.
