Mascotte Active Filters White 200: smoother smoke, for months ahead
Buy active filters in packs of 10 and you'll run out fast. This bag holds 200 at once, in the classic white edition. That saves a lot of loose packs and works out cheaper per filter.
An active filter is a tip with a core of activated carbon. That carbon is extremely porous and traps tar and fine particles from the smoke. The smoke feels cooler and smoother, with less bitter aftertaste. According to Mascotte, you'll notice little difference in the effect of your herbs.
Size and use
With a 6 mm diameter and a length of around 27 mm, these are slim filters. They fit king size and king size slim papers, and 1¼ papers usually work too. Place the filter at the end of your paper and roll it in. Because the filter is pre-shaped, you get a firm, straight joint. Find papers in our rolling papers.
Specifications
Good to know
An activated carbon filter makes your smoke smoother, but it doesn't make smoking harmless. Use each filter once: after one joint the carbon is saturated and filters noticeably less. Keep the bag closed and dry, as moisture reduces the effect. Grind your herbs evenly first with one of our grinders, so your joint burns more steadily and the filter draws better.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference with the Greens Active Filters?
Only the colour. Filling, size and effect are the same.
Can I use a filter twice?
You can, but we don't recommend it. The carbon is largely saturated after one joint, so the second time it filters less and you taste more.
Do they fit regular papers?
In narrow regular papers, 6 mm is often too thick. They're made for king size and king size slim. Find other tips and filters in our Tips & Filters category.
