Cannabis is a great tool to potentially relieve stress, promote wellness, and connect with yourself and others. But this tool needs a toolkit of its own. From vaporizers to grinders, storage solutions to cleaning supplies, the right accessories make your sessions smoother and more enjoyable.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the essential items every cannabis consumer should have to get the most out of their cannabis adventures.
Smoking Accessories
Smoking cannabis is the most well-known way to consume this powerful plant, but there are plenty of ways to make smoking a personalized experience. Here are some key accessories to smoke cannabis with your own style:
- Grinders: No matter what avenue you take to smoke cannabis, you’re going to need a grinder. This gadget grinds your cannabis flower into small bits to release the compounds and make it easier to work with.
- Rolling Papers and Cones: These are what you need if you want to enjoy a joint. You can roll them yourself using papers or purchase pre-made cones that allow you to scoop up your cannabis and twist it up for a joint in a jiff.
- Rolling Trays: A good rolling tray is an essential tool that keeps your smoking area tidy and organized. Look for features like raised edges to prevent spills, and if you want to get fancy, look for rolling trays with compartments for storing tools and accessories.
- Ashtrays: An often overlooked but crucial accessory is an ashtray (a real one, not just a random cup sitting on your table). Ashtrays can be both functional and stylish, keeping your smoking area clean and including features like built-in storage or windproof designs for outdoor use.
- Tips and Filters: Enhance your smoking experience with tips and filters. Glass tips are reusable, are easy to clean, provide a smoother draw, and keep your joints firm. Paper filters help prevent loose cannabis from entering your mouth and offer a more pleasant experience.
- Lighters and Hemp Wicks: No smoke sesh is complete without a reliable lighter or hemp wick. Elevate your smoking ritual with stylish, functional lights made for smoking. For a cleaner burn, hemp wicks reduce the exposure to butane and enhance the taste of your cannabis.
- Glassware and Bongs: If you want to branch out from joints and blunts, you can try glassware and bongs. These often employ the use of water, which pulls out tar from the smoke and provides a cleaner hit.
Vaporizers
Vaporizers offer a smokeless way to inhale cannabis by heating cannabis flower or concentrate until it releases its compounds in the form of vapor rather than smoke. They also allow you to control the temperature of the vapor to decrease harshness on your lungs and enhance the flavor and potency of each strain. These are the different types of vaporizers you can find:
- Portable Vaporizers: These are small, handheld, battery-powered devices that are easy to carry and use on the go. They are discreet and convenient, ready for a sesh anytime, anywhere.
- Desktop Vaporizers: These are larger devices designed for home use. They plug into a power source and typically offer more advanced features and better vapor quality than portable options. These are more for cannabis consumers who prioritize performance over portability.
- Pen-Style Vaporizers: These are slim, pen-shaped vaporizers that are used for cannabis oils and concentrates rather than herbs. They’re great for beginners or anyone on the go.
Storage Solutions
Proper storage of cannabis is the key to maintaining its freshness, potency, and flavor. Here are some storage solutions to consider:
- Airtight Jars: Airtight jars protect your cannabis from air exposure, which can dry it out and degrade its quality. Glass jars are particularly effective because they are non-reactive and don’t affect the flavor or potency of the cannabis.
- Vacuum-Sealed Containers: For long-term storage, vacuum-sealed containers remove the air from the container to significantly reduce the risk of mold and degradation.
- Smell-Proof Bags: Smell-proof bags are designed to contain odors, making them ideal for travel or for keeping your sesh discreet at home. Many also offer protection against light and moisture.
- Humidity Control Packs: These packs help maintain the ideal humidity level within your storage container, preventing your cannabis from becoming too dry or too moist and preserving its aroma, flavor, and potency.
Cleaning Supplies
If you’re going to invest in cannabis accessories to enhance your experience, it only makes sense to keep them squeaky clean! Cleaning your cannabis accessories helps maintain the best performance and keep the flavor at the forefront. These are the cleaning supplies you should have:
- Isopropyl Alcohol: Isopropyl alcohol is versatile and effective for cleaning glassware, vaporizers, and other tools that come in direct contact with cannabis. Use 90% or higher for the best results.
- Pipe Cleaners: These are a must-have for cleaning small, narrow parts of your cannabis accessories. They are flexible and reach into tight spaces to clean the inside of pipes, vaporizers, and other intricate components.
- Cleaning Solutions: Specialized cleaning solutions are available that are designed specifically for cannabis accessories. They can be more effective than isopropyl alcohol for certain accessories and are often formulated to break down resin and other residues quickly and safely.
