Pot Smoking Accessories
This approach is famous for its immediate onset of effects and the rich aromas and flavors it provides. Many enthusiasts are also drawn to the countless cannabis accessories that cater to smoking – bongs, pipes, ash catchers…the list goes on and on! Let’s look at must-have tools to pick up at the cannabis supplies store.
Herb Grinder
It doesn’t matter whether you smoke from a bong, joint/pre-roll, or a dry herb vaporizer—you’ll need an herb grinder. It will make your smoke experience much more accessible and faster, too. Unlike scissors or your hands, grinders give you small, consistently sized material perfect for everything from rolling to packing bowls. This helps deliver a solid burn when you smoke!
Stash Jar
You’ve finished grinding your cannabis…now what? It has to go somewhere! That’s what your stash jar is for. Usually made with food-grade glass, these accessories keep your pot fresh and secure until you’re ready to use it.
Bong
Say hello to one of the most famous cannabis accessories: the bong! Thanks to its easy use and smooth, filtered hits, it’s a go-to for many smokers. Don’t know which bong to buy? The simple shape of straight tube bongs makes them excellent for beginners, while beaker bongs offer more stability – and smoother hits.
Always go for a high-quality material like borosilicate glass, which can withstand high-temperature changes without shattering. Silicone is another excellent option; these bongs are durable and significantly cheaper than glass bongs. Many high-quality bongs come with must-have cannabis accessories, including bowls and downstems. Some even feature novelty weed accessories like ice catchers and unique, artistic bong designs for a cooling effect. You can find loads of cool bongs and accessories, including gravity bongs, zong bongs (bongs with a zig-zag shape), vintage bongs and weed accessories, and more!
Ash Catcher
Want your smoke experience to be as clean as possible? Consider ash catchers. These accessories keep your bong’s chamber from ash and debris and add water filtration. This means you can fully enjoy the flavors of your cannabis flower each time you smoke!
Joint Rolling Accessories
Rolling joints require a few cannabis accessories: rolling paper, filter tips, and an herb grinder. Beginners should stick with one ¼ rolling papers (single-wide papers) since they’re easier to work with. And, of course, you want to roll a joint with finely ground cannabis; it’ll help make joints easier to roll and help deliver a consistent burn.
While not completely necessary, we’d suggest getting a rolling tray at a cannabis supplies store. Rolling trays ensure you don’t waste any product and clean your table. Looking for novelty weed accessories? Some rolling trays have cool designs, LED lights, or glow-in-the-dark!
Silicone Hand Pipe
If portability is a concern, silicone hand pipes are the pot accessories for you! They’re small, portable, and simple to use. These aren’t those vintage weed accessories from decades past that broke quickly when dropped. Silicone is pliable and virtually unbreakable. There’s no need to panic if you drop silicone – it’ll remain intact. It can also be thrown in the dishwasher for easy cleaning!
Dab Rig & Dab Pen Accessories
Getting cannabis concentrates and oils into your dab device can be difficult. Oils can be viscous. Resins, waxes, and other concentrates can be sticky or even crumbly. Pro tip: cannabis accessories make the entire process much more straightforward and can elevate your dab experience.
Carb Caps – These pot accessories go right on your rig’s banger – like a lid on a saucepot. This maximizes airflow control to vaporize your cannabis at the lowest possible temperatures. It also helps your wax last longer!
Terp Pearls – Terp pearls are known as dab pearls or terp balls. These cannabis accessories spin around in the banger as you dab, which helps distribute heat and disperse concentrates. The result is smoother hits and less waste.
Dab Tools – Dab tools help you handle and apply concentrates to dab pens and rigs. No more need for makeshift tools like butter knives and paper clips! Cannabis supplies stores have a wide range of these dab pen accessories, so be sure to look for a high-quality material like glass or quartz. They can withstand the high temperatures and won’t interfere with any flavors.
Cannabis Cooking Supplies
Making edibles? There aren’t cannabis-specific cooking supplies you need; you’re likely to have them in your kitchen! However, if you want to prevent your cookware from smelling like cannabis flower, you should pick up these supplies:
- Cookie sheet/pan & parchment paper for decarbing your weed
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Strainer or cheesecloth for making cannabutter/oil
- Saucepan
- Glass jars or containers to store cannabutter
- Gummy molds
