Activated Charcoal Tips Mixed by Medusafilters
The Activated Charcoal Tips Mixed pack from Medusafilters is a set of 100 coconut-shell activated charcoal filter tips that deliver a noticeably cleaner, smoother smoke by trapping ash, tar, and other unwanted particles before they reach your lips. Combining both regular and violet tips in one resealable bag, this mixed pack lets you try both styles without committing to a full box of either. Each tip measures 6 x 25mm — the standard slim size that slides straight into any rolling paper without fuss.
Why Activated Charcoal Filter Tips Make a Difference
Standard cardboard roaches do one job: stop herb falling into your mouth. That's it. They don't filter anything meaningful. Activated charcoal tips work on a completely different level — the porous carbon structure adsorbs particulates and impurities as smoke passes through, while still letting flavour compounds and active ingredients come through. The result is a draw that tastes cleaner from first puff to last, with none of that harsh, ashy bite you get towards the end of an unfiltered joint.
The first time you use one, you'll notice the smoke is cooler and the flavour of your herb comes through more clearly — especially with aromatic strains where terpene profiles matter. It's a small upgrade that changes the whole experience.
The one honest limitation: because the charcoal does its job, you'll notice the tip darkens as you smoke. That's not a defect — it's proof the filter is catching what you don't want in your lungs. Some people find the draw is very slightly tighter than a plain cardboard roach, but after a joint or two you won't even think about it.
Regular vs. Violet Tips — What's the Difference?
This mixed pack includes two types of Medusafilters tips. Both use the same coconut-shell activated charcoal core and vegan fibre caps, and both measure 6 x 25mm. The difference is the outer casing material:
| Tip Type | Core | Outer Casing | Draw Feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | Coconut activated charcoal | Standard vegan fibre cap | Balanced airflow, classic Medusafilters draw |
| Violet | Coconut activated charcoal | Violet-tinted vegan fibre cap | Identical filtration, distinct look |
If you've been eyeing both the regular and violet packs but couldn't decide, this is the one to grab. Smoke a few of each and figure out which you prefer before buying a full box of one type.

Why You Actually Want Charcoal Tips in Your Rotation
Here's what we see constantly: someone rolls a beautiful joint with carefully chosen herb, quality papers, maybe even a glass tip — and then gets that last-third harshness where the smoke turns hot, bitter, and unpleasant. The final stretch of any joint concentrates resin, tar, and ash near the roach. A cardboard filter does nothing about this. Activated charcoal does.
Medusafilters use coconut-shell charcoal specifically because it has a higher surface area than wood-based alternatives — more microscopic pores means more adsorption capacity packed into that 25mm length. The vegan fibre caps on each end keep loose charcoal granules from escaping into your mouth or your paper. It's a tidy, self-contained unit: unwrap, slot into your paper, roll, smoke.
At roughly a tip per joint, 100 pieces lasts most people a solid stretch. The resealable bag means they stay fresh and dry — moisture is the enemy of activated charcoal because it fills those pores before smoke gets the chance to. Keep the bag sealed between sessions and store it somewhere dry. That's the only maintenance these need.
How to Use Medusafilters Activated Charcoal Tips
- Open the resealable bag and pick out a regular or violet tip — your choice.
- Place the charcoal tip at one end of your rolling paper, just as you would a cardboard roach. The 6mm diameter fits slim and standard papers equally well.
- Grind your herb finely and distribute it evenly along the paper, packing it gently against the tip. Finely milled herb works best — chunky pieces leave air gaps that reduce the charcoal's contact with smoke.
- Roll as normal, tucking the paper around the tip first and then working your way along the joint.
- Light up and draw. You'll notice the smoke is cooler and smoother than with a standard roach. The slight resistance is normal — that's the charcoal doing its work.
- After smoking, discard the used tip. Each charcoal filter is single-use — once it's darkened, the pores are saturated.
