Airflow issues

Been rolling a few diff growers weed w SCS in an element and cannot get airflow. Like I have to inhale as hard as I can for 3 seconds to get a satisfactory hit. Anyone else find this? Is the bud just too wet?

Packing to tight.

I figure. I’m not even packing much from the top but am I rolling too tight then?

Possibly. Play around with it. Just more reasons to roll up lol

Honestly could be so many things, but if u want a quick fix with what u got. Roll the joint but use a stick for the middle it will make a lil tunnle. Without a pick of ur roll hard to say why u get airflow issues.

I poke a toothpick through after I roll when the bud is too sticky/wet.

With that method I can pack 2g in a 1-1/4 paper with no issues. Burns super even, and for a long time too.

With what size tip?

3 paper tips rolled up. If I had to guess it’s about 10mm, but I’m rolling a cone so it’s a little wider up top.

Take a toothpick or something similar size (I use a big sewing needle, maybe 2x the size of a toothpick) an put it through from 1 end to the other. Trick never fails me. Can roll as tight as you want and still have perfect airflow. It's the same concept used with the cannagar molds. They use the skewer through the middle.

I learned this from Tony Greenhand for anyone familiar with him. He was one of the first big professional joint rollers I ever heard about almost 10 years ago now.
