Been smoking for a while now, and lately I can't make a decent filter that stays 'closed'. What I mean by that is i';ll roll the filter fine, start smoking and as i get to about half my joint it'll start to slowly unravel and i'll be left with a big hole instead of a filter. I've tried folder the center of the filter before rolling it but still unravels mid way and then bits of weed get sucked into my mouth/throat when i inhale.

Can you help me please?

if you want a really good filter spend 50p and buy a book of em from your local head store (if you got 1) they wont come undone they make perfect roches everytime.

roll it like u usually do put but a 'zigzag' in the middle. this is a zigzag piece of card that is slotted into the roach before you smoke it. it keeps the tightness of the roach.

^ Yea that works best,

Or try "zig-zagging" at one of the edges of your paper,
and try to make a "M" or "W" from it, then gently but tight roll the rest.
After it's done and rolled tight (so if you stop holding it it won't roll out again) then start rubbing it gently between your thumb and forefinger to give the paper a more "rolled shape", what makes it hold its shape and it will become smaller and tighter.

Try this one, I always use this:

First buy a roach bookley from a headshop or newspaper agent or whatever
Take 1 roach paper and tear like 1/4 from it and throw that away, use the 3/4 left, now fold 3 mm of it over

now fold it over again but the other way around so u get and M-shape and then fold the excess paper around it, that's a good beginners roach, easy to make and draws very good

Stage 1:

stage 2:

stage 3:

Rolled up roach:

Now that surely isn't the best roach people are undoubtly going to say and they're right, but hey, it does the trick for me!
