More about PURIZE Spiral tip filters
PURIZE is best known for its German-made activated-charcoal filters, but the PURIZE Spiral tip filters take a different approach. Instead of carbon, you get a reusable glass mouthpiece with shaped internal channels:
- 9 mm diameter: a substantial glass mouthpiece that works well with wider rolls.
- Borosilicate glass: durable, resistant glass designed for repeated use and cleaning.
- Six curved holes: shaped passages that guide airflow through the glass tip.
- Continuous central hole: a straight opening runs through the center alongside the six curved channels to support airflow through the tip.
- Handmade construction: each PURIZE Spiral Tip is made by hand, so small differences in hole size can occur between individual pieces.
How does the PURIZE spiral glass tip work?
Smoke can move through the six curved passages and the continuous central opening. PURIZE designed this internal layout to promote smooth airflow and provide a cooling effect as the smoke passes through the glass. The PURIZE spiral glass filter contains no activated carbon, so it does not provide the activated-carbon adsorption found in PURIZE charcoal filters. Instead, its main benefits are its reusable glass construction, airflow design, and cooling effect.
Glass tip or activated charcoal filter?
A PURIZE spiral filter gives you a reusable, washable, and rigid mouthpiece to roll your joints around. Activated-carbon filters instead contain porous carbon that provides an additional adsorptive layer as smoke passes through the filter. If you prefer charcoal filtration, check out the PURIZE Regular Size White filters in the same 9 mm diameter or the slimmer PURIZE XTRA Slim White filters in 6 mm. If you mainly want the feel and reusability of glass, the Spiral Tip is the more logical choice.
How to roll and clean PURIZE Spiral Tip filters
To roll a joint or a spliff with the PURIZE spiral tip filters, place the glass tip at one end of your rolling paper, add your ground cannabis, and wrap the paper around the 9 mm cylinder as usual. If you are still learning how to roll a joint, our guide walks you through the basic technique step by step. If you prefer spliffs, which combine cannabis and tobacco, read our spliff blog for more information about this style of rolling.
For routine cleaning, use warm water and a soft brush, then rinse the tip thoroughly and let it dry completely. For stubborn residue, soak the Spiral Tip in 99% isopropanol for about one hour, then rinse the tip thoroughly with clear water afterward and let it dry completely before reuse. Avoid alkaline household cleaners and detergents, as these can affect the glass material or surface.u can also use warm water and a soft brush before rinsing and drying the tip thoroughly.
PURIZE Spiral Tip vs actiTube
The PURIZE Spiral Tip and Acti-Tube Active Carbon Filters are very different options. The 9 mm PURIZE tip is reusable glass, while the 8 mm actiTube filter contains activated carbon for smoke filtration. The better choice depends on what you want from the mouthpiece: reusable glass with the PURIZE Spiral Tip or activated-carbon filtration with actiTube.
