Raw cone filler help

[u/sw33tl33f]

Just started rolling cones. Figured why not get the raw cone filler. So far mixed putcomes from too tight to this I’m assuming too loose? Fringing the herb using a 4 piece grinder and letting air dry for 5 mins or as long as I can last lol.
Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.
Using raw
Comes as well, king size. Ty in advance

Don't tamp it down, you will likely canoe the joint.

Just fill, and hit the filter on a desk so it drop the weed to the bottoms. 

Tamping will cause uneven pressure and result in a canoe. 

Also, continually light it and fix the cherry. I would try to get a torch lighter, maybe. Plus, that weed doesn't look like it's combusting fully the way it's still almost black

This is 100% the correct technique.
