Having a good CBD product is only half the experience. The right accessories make the difference between a dull session and a truly enjoyable one. This is our guide to the essentials.
The bare minimum to get started
- Grinder: breaks down the flower evenly and separates the trichomes, which you can reuse. Best with four pieces and a collection chamber.
- Quality rolling papers: the difference between a cheap paper and a good one shows in the flavour. Rice or hemp papers are the most neutral.
- Lighter or wooden match: butane gas lighters don’t transfer any residual flavour.
- Tray: essential so you don’t lose any material. Best with a lid if you want to store product between sessions.
Accessories to level up
- Activated carbon filters: if you prefer a smoother experience, they’re your best option.
- Glass or silicone pipe: a practical alternative to rolling, ideal for short sessions.
- Storage jar: a good airtight stash keeps the moisture and aroma of your flowers for weeks.
- Boveda humidity pack: sachets that regulate the relative humidity inside your jar. They keep the flowers at the ideal 58-62%.
Mistakes you should avoid
- Using plastic or zippo lighters: they alter the flavour and can leave residue.
- Grinding with your fingers: you break the trichomes and lose resin on your palm.
- Storing the flower in the open air: it dries out too much and loses terpenes in just a few days.
- Rolling too tightly: it restricts airflow and ruins the experience.
What about CBD vapes?
CBD vapes are the most convenient option to carry with you: discreet, with no lingering smell and controlled doses. Ideal for beginners or for those who want a combustion-free experience.
