Activated Charcoal Tips by Medusafilters
The Medusafilters Activated Charcoal Tips are slim ceramic-tipped filters packed with activated charcoal that strip out ash, tar, and unwanted particulates before they reach your lips. Measuring 6 x 25mm, they slot straight into a standard rolling paper and deliver noticeably cleaner, smoother draws without muting flavour. Available in resealable packs of 50, 100, and 250 — grab the size that matches how often you roll.
Which Pack Size?
| Pack | Pieces | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 50 | Trying them out or occasional sessions |
| Medium | 100 | Regular rollers — roughly 2-3 weeks of daily use |
| Large | 250 | Stocking up or sharing with mates — lowest cost per tip |
All three packs come in a resealable bag, so tips stay fresh and don't rattle around loose in your pocket. If you roll daily, the 250-pack is the obvious call — you won't think about reordering for a good while.

Why Activated Charcoal Tips Make a Real Difference
Most people roll with a cardboard roach and call it a day. It works — sort of. Cardboard stops the biggest bits of plant matter from hitting your tongue, but it does nothing about the finer particulates, tar residue, or hot ash that sneaks through. That's the stuff that leaves your throat scratchy and your mouth tasting like an ashtray the morning after.
Activated charcoal is a different beast. The charcoal inside each Medusafilters tip is porous on a microscopic level — one gram of activated charcoal has a surface area of roughly 3,000 square metres, according to standard material science references. All those tiny pores trap particulates and certain volatile compounds as smoke passes through. The result: a noticeably cooler, smoother draw with more of the actual flavour coming through and less of the bitter aftertaste.
We've had customers switch to charcoal tips and immediately notice the difference in how clean the smoke tastes. The honest limitation? You do lose a tiny bit of draw resistance compared to an open cardboard roach — the charcoal adds a slight pull. Most people adjust within the first few puffs and don't look back. If you're someone who likes an extremely airy, unrestricted draw, that's worth knowing upfront. For everyone else, the trade-off is well worth it.
How to Use Medusafilters Activated Charcoal Tips
- Take a single charcoal tip from the resealable pouch. The ceramic end caps on each side keep the charcoal contained — no loose black dust in your paper.
- Place the tip at one end of your rolling paper, exactly where you'd normally put a cardboard roach. The 6mm diameter fits standard king-size and regular papers without any trimming.
- Fill the paper with your chosen herb, distributing it evenly along the length. Leave a small gap near the tip so the seal is tight.
- Roll as you normally would, tucking the paper around the tip first and then rolling upward. The cylindrical shape of the filter gives you a solid anchor point — easier than shaping a cardboard roach, honestly.
- Lick, seal, and spark up. The first draw will feel slightly firmer than a cardboard filter. That's the charcoal doing its job. By the second or third puff you won't notice it.
- After your session, toss the used tip. These are single-use — the charcoal saturates after one session and won't filter effectively a second time.
