Quality cannabis deserves quality accessories. While flower, edibles, or concentrates provide the active compounds, accessories determine how effectively and enjoyably you consume them. At NJ Pure, we stock comprehensive accessory selection because we understand that proper tools dramatically improve cannabis experiences.
The right grinder produces ideal consistency for even burning. Quality glassware delivers smooth, flavorful hits. Proper storage containers preserve freshness and potency. However, the accessory market offers overwhelming variety—hundreds of grinder designs, countless pipe styles, and storage solutions ranging from basic jars to sophisticated humidity-controlled systems.
Understanding which accessories genuinely enhance consumption versus marketing gimmicks, what features matter for different needs, and how to select quality items within your budget empowers you to build an accessory collection that elevates your cannabis enjoyment.
Grinders – The Foundation of Flower Consumption
Why grind? Whole buds burn unevenly, waste material, and produce harsh smoke. Grinding breaks flower into consistent particles that burn evenly in joints, bowls, or vaporizers while maximizing surface area for efficient extraction.
Grinder types include:
Two-piece grinders feature top and bottom chambers with grinding teeth. Simple, affordable, and effective, though they lack kief collection chambers found in more sophisticated designs.
Four-piece grinders add middle chamber collecting ground flower and bottom chamber with fine screen catching kief (trichomes) that fall through. This separated kief can be saved for extra-potent consumption later.
Material options include plastic (affordable but less durable), aluminum (most common, good balance of price and quality), and titanium (premium durability and grinding performance).
Teeth configuration varies—some grinders have diamond-shaped teeth, others feature pin teeth. More teeth generally produce finer, more consistent grind. Sharp, well-designed teeth require less effort while producing better results.
Size considerations balance portability with capacity. Small pocket grinders work for personal use while larger 2.5-3 inch models handle bigger quantities efficiently. At NJ Pure, we stock various sizes accommodating different needs.
Papers and Wraps
Paper types affect taste, burn rate, and rolling ease:
Rice papers burn slowly and cleanly with minimal paper taste. Thinner than wood pulp papers but slightly trickier for beginners to roll.
Hemp papers offer sustainable option with slightly thicker, easier-to-roll construction. Moderate burn speed and neutral flavor.
Wood pulp papers represent traditional choice. Widely available, easy to roll, though some users detect slight paper taste.
Flavored papers add variety though purists argue they mask cannabis’s natural flavors. Fruit, chocolate, and other flavors appeal to some consumers.
Size selection ranges from single-wide (smallest, personal use) through 1¼, 1½, King Size, and beyond. Larger sizes suit group sessions or high tolerance users.
Pre-rolled cones eliminate rolling skill requirements. Simply fill, pack, and twist—perfect for consumers who struggle with traditional rolling or want convenience.
Pipes and Bowls
Spoon pipes represent classic handheld design. Compact, durable, and simple to use, spoon pipes suit personal consumption and offer easy maintenance.
Sherlock pipes feature curved stem reminiscent of detective’s tobacco pipe. The shape cools smoke slightly while providing distinctive aesthetic.
Chillums are straight tube pipes offering extremely simple, no-frills consumption. Easy to clean and pocket-friendly though lacking carb holes found in spoon pipes.
One-hitters deliver single-hit consumption, perfect for microdosing or discrete use. Paired with dugout storage boxes, one-hitters offer maximum portability and efficiency.
Material considerations include:
Glass pipes provide cleanest flavor, easy visibility for cleaning assessment, and aesthetic appeal. However, they break if dropped.
Silicone pipes offer virtually indestructible durability. Ideal for travel, outdoor use, or clumsy consumers. Easier cleaning than glass but some users detect slight taste.
Metal pipes deliver maximum durability though they can get hot during use and potentially affect flavor.
At NJ Pure, we stock quality glass and silicone pipes across price points, helping you find options matching your priorities.
Bongs and Water Pipes
Water filtration cools smoke and removes some particulates, delivering smoother hits than dry pipes. However, water also filters some cannabinoids and terpenes—a trade-off between smoothness and potency retention.
Size categories include:
- Small (6-10 inches): Portable, easier to store, less smoke cooling
- Medium (10-14 inches): Balance of portability and performance
- Large (14+ inches): Maximum smoke cooling, best for home use
Percolator types create bubbles increasing water-smoke contact:
Tree percs feature arms with slits creating multiple diffusion points
Honeycomb percs use disc with many small holes for fine bubbles
Showerhead percs combine vertical tube with horizontal slits
Inline percs feature horizontal tube with slits
More percolation generally means smoother hits but increased airflow resistance requiring harder pulls.
Ice catchers feature glass pinches holding ice cubes above water chamber. Ice further cools smoke beyond water filtration alone.
Material quality separates cheap from quality bongs. Look for:
- Thick glass (5mm+ for durability)
- Quality joints (connections between pieces)
- Sturdy base preventing tipping
- Removable downstems for easier cleaning
Storage Solutions
Airtight containers prevent terpene evaporation and maintain ideal humidity:
Mason jars offer affordable, effective storage. Widely available and seal tightly, though they lack humidity control and allow light exposure unless stored in dark locations.
UV-resistant containers block light degrading cannabinoids. Purpose-built cannabis storage often features dark glass or opaque materials.
Humidity-controlled systems maintain optimal 55-62% relative humidity through integrated or separate humidity packs. Premium storage solutions include Boveda or Integra Boost packs.
Size appropriate to your inventory. Too large containers for small amounts allow excess air exposure. Right-sized containers minimize air volume.
Organization systems prevent strain confusion. Label containers with strain names and dates. Some storage solutions include built-in labeling or color-coding systems.
Vaporizer Accessories
Dosing capsules pre-load vaporizer chambers for convenient, clean sessions. Fill multiple capsules at once for quick swapping without mess.
Cleaning tools including brushes, picks, and isopropyl alcohol maintain vaporizer performance. Clean devices produce better flavor and operate more efficiently.
Replacement parts like screens, o-rings, and mouthpieces extend device lifespan. Stocking these prevents vaporizer downtime when parts wear out.
Charging solutions for battery-powered vaporizers include portable power banks enabling use away from outlets.
Concentrate Accessories
Dab tools come in various tip shapes:
- Scoop for crumbly concentrates
- Pointed for shatter
- Flat/paddle for general use
Titanium and stainless steel resist degradation from heat and concentrate oils better than cheap metals.
Silicone containers store concentrates non-stick. Cheap plastic containers cause concentrates to stick, wasting product.
Carb caps regulate airflow in dab rigs, improving vaporization efficiency and flavor.
Cleaning Supplies
Isopropyl alcohol (90%+ concentration) dissolves resin effectively. Lower concentrations work but less efficiently.
Pipe cleaners and brushes reach crevices in pipes and bongs that simple rinsing can’t address.
Specialized cleaning solutions formulated for glass or silicone offer convenience over DIY alcohol methods, though at higher cost.
Salt as abrasive combined with alcohol scrubs stubborn resin. Coarse salt works better than fine table salt.
Rolling Accessories
Rolling machines assist consumers who struggle with hand-rolling. Small investment produces perfect joints consistently.
Loading tools help fill pre-rolled cones evenly without mess.
Tip/filter materials including pre-made tips or raw cardboard for DIY filters improve joint structure and prevent flower from entering mouth.
Smell-Proof Solutions
Smell-proof bags contain cannabis odor during transport or storage. Quality designs feature activated carbon filters.
Odor eliminators like sploof devices filter exhaled smoke through activated carbon reducing smell.
Air purifiers with carbon filters continuously clean air in consumption areas.
