Everything You Want to Know

Real answers about how PureTips work, what the research shows, and why they're different from everything else out there.

How do PureTips actually work?

PureTips use premium activated coconut husk charcoal that acts like a molecular sponge with over 1,000 m² of surface area per gram, selectively trapping harmful compounds like free radicals, carbonyls (formaldehyde, acrolein), and other toxins. Research shows this removes up to 40% of harmful substances while preserving cannabinoids and terpenes — you get the full experience, just cleaner.

What's the science behind your filtration claims?

Our claims are backed by multiple peer-reviewed studies published in top-tier journals. Goel et al. (2018) in Chemical Research in Toxicology found 40% reduction in gas-phase free radicals. Morabito et al. (2017) in Regulatory Toxicology demonstrated up to 99% reduction in toxic carbonyls at optimal charcoal loadings. Dey et al. (2010) in Journal of Biosciences showed 73-80% reduction in p-benzosemiquinone, a compound linked to emphysema.

Are PureTips really better than other filter options?

The difference is significant. Regular cardboard tips are just structural — they hold your roll together but provide zero filtration. Glass and metal tips are fancy mouthpieces that might cool the smoke slightly but remove no harmful compounds. PureTips use premium activated coconut husk charcoal with peer-reviewed research demonstrating their effectiveness at reducing harmful compounds.

How long does each filter last?

Each PureTips filter is effective for 2-3 sessions before the activated charcoal reaches saturation. You'll know it's time to replace when airflow becomes noticeably restricted — that's actually the charcoal doing its job, literally filled with the harmful compounds it's removed from your smoke.

What exactly are PureTips made from?

Premium activated coconut husk charcoal sourced for maximum adsorption capacity, and heat-resistant ceramic components for structural integrity. Zero plastic components that could release toxins when heated. All materials are naturally safe and inert with decades of safety data in filtration applications. The ceramic components mean they're not fully biodegradable, but the activated charcoal is renewable and sustainable.

Do PureTips affect taste, potency, or effects?

No — and this is crucial. The activated coconut husk charcoal is selective in what it removes. It targets harmful compounds like free radicals, carbonyls, and toxins while allowing cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds to pass through largely unchanged. Most users report their sessions actually taste cleaner and smoother because the harsh, irritating compounds that can mask natural flavors are filtered out. You get the full experience you're looking for, just without the unnecessary harsh stuff.

How do I use PureTips filters?

Simple as it gets: place the filter at the tip end of your rolling paper before adding material, roll as you normally would, then light and enjoy. No special technique, no break-in period, no learning curve. The filtration happens automatically from your first draw. When airflow gets restricted after 2-3 sessions, replace with a fresh filter. Works with all types of rolling papers and cigar blunt wraps — we recommend king-sized papers for the best experience.

Are PureTips safe for regular daily use?

Absolutely. All materials are naturally safe and inert, and have been used safely in filtration applications for decades. No harmful chemicals, no plastic components that could release toxins when heated, no additives of any kind. Daily users actually benefit most because they get consistent reduction in harmful compound exposure session after session. Many regular users report less throat irritation and coughing compared to unfiltered sessions.

Do they work with my preferred papers/wraps?

Yes — PureTips work perfectly with all types of rolling papers, hemp wraps, rice papers, and cigar blunt wraps. The diameter is optimized for standard tip sizes, so they fit seamlessly into your rolling setup. We recommend king-sized papers for the best experience and optimal filtration. Note: they're designed for hand-rolled products and don't work with pre-rolls or cones.

Why activated coconut husk charcoal instead of other filter materials?

Activated coconut husk charcoal is the gold standard for adsorption because of its incredible surface area — over 1,000 square meters per gram creates millions of tiny pores that grab and hold harmful molecules. Cotton filters only catch larger particles, paper filters do basically nothing, and synthetic materials can release their own toxins when heated. Activated coconut husk charcoal has been used for detoxification and purification for over 2,000 years because it works at a molecular level.

Will PureTips help with coughing and throat irritation?

Many users report significantly smoother sessions with less coughing and throat irritation. This makes sense from a scientific standpoint — when you remove 40% of harsh compounds and up to 99% of irritating carbonyls like acrolein, your respiratory system has far less to deal with. The activated coconut husk charcoal removes the compounds that cause that scratchy, burning sensation while preserving what you actually want.

How do PureTips compare to competitors like actiTube or PURIZE?

While other brands make similar claims, few have the research backing that PureTips do. Many competitors cite older studies or make unsupported claims about effectiveness. Our peer-reviewed research is recent, comprehensive, and verifiable. Additionally, we're transparent about our materials — including the ceramic components that some competitors don't mention. We focus on proven effectiveness rather than marketing hype.

What's your return policy if I'm not satisfied?

We stand behind our product 100%. If you're not completely satisfied with PureTips, we offer returns on unopened products within 30 days of delivery. For health and safety reasons, opened products cannot be returned. We're confident you'll notice the difference from your first use, but if for any reason you're not happy, we'll make it right.

Are there any downsides or limitations I should know about?

We believe in transparency, so here's the honest truth: PureTips can't eliminate 100% of harmful compounds (no filter can), they do eventually saturate and need replacement, and they add a small cost per session compared to no filter at all. The ceramic components also mean they're not fully biodegradable. However, for most users, the significant reduction in harmful compounds and smoother experience far outweigh these minor limitations.

Why should I trust PureTips over other options?

Three reasons: proven research, quality materials, and honest communication. Our effectiveness claims are backed by multiple peer-reviewed studies you can verify yourself. We use premium materials found in high-end medical and filtration applications. And we're transparent about both what our filters can do and what they can't. We don't make wild claims or hide behind marketing speak — we let the science speak for itself.
