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?
They work like water filters but for smoke. The coconut charcoal acts like a tiny sponge with millions of holes that trap toxins while letting flavor and effects pass through.
What harmful stuff do PureTips actually filter out?
Formaldehyde and other chemicals that burn your throat, heavy metals like lead that build up over time, and compounds that damage lung tissue. Basically all the nasty stuff you don't want.
Are PureTips really better than other filter options?
Regular cardboard tips just hold your roll together — they don't filter anything. Glass and metal tips might look cool but they're just fancy straws. Only charcoal actually removes toxins.
How long does each filter last?
About 2-3 sessions, then the charcoal gets full and airflow slows down. When it feels harder to draw through, time for a fresh one.
What exactly are PureTips made from?
Activated coconut charcoal and ceramic — no plastic that could melt or release chemicals when heated. The ceramic parts aren't biodegradable, but coconut charcoal is renewable.
Do PureTips affect taste, potency, or effects?
Nope, they're selective — only grab the harsh chemicals that make you cough. Most people say their sessions taste cleaner because the nasty stuff isn't covering up natural flavors.
How do I use PureTips filters?
Drop one in the tip end before rolling, then smoke normally. No special technique needed — works automatically from the first puff. Replace when airflow gets tight.
Are PureTips safe for regular daily use?
Absolutely. Daily users actually benefit most since they're consistently reducing exposure to nasties. Many people report way less throat irritation and coughing over time.
Do they work with my preferred papers/wraps?
Yep — any rolling papers, hemp wraps, or blunt wraps work fine. King-sized papers give the best experience. Just note they're made for hand-rolled, not pre-made cones.
Why coconut charcoal instead of other filter materials?
It's nature's best filter — been used for centuries to purify water and air. Cotton only catches big particles, paper does nothing, and synthetic stuff can release toxins when heated.
Will PureTips help with coughing and throat irritation?
Big time. When you remove the chemicals that cause throat burn, sessions get way smoother. Most people notice the difference immediately.
How do PureTips compare to competitors like actiTube or PURIZE?
We're upfront about our materials and back everything with recent peer-reviewed studies. Many competitors make vague claims or cite old research without being transparent about what's actually inside.
What's your return policy if I'm not satisfied?
30-day returns on unopened products, no questions asked. Can't return opened packs for health reasons, but we're confident you'll feel the difference from day one.
Are there any downsides or limitations I should know about?
They cost more than no filter, need replacing every few sessions, and aren't fully biodegradable due to ceramic parts. But most people think smoother hits are worth the small extra cost.
Why should I trust PureTips over other options?
We publish actual research data, use medical-grade materials, and don't hide behind marketing BS. Plus we're honest about limitations — no filter removes 100% of everything.
Can PureTips filters be cleaned or reused beyond 2-3 sessions?
Nope, once the charcoal gets saturated it's done its job. Trying to wash or clean them won't restore effectiveness — you need fresh charcoal for proper filtration.
Do PureTips work with vaporizers or only smoking?
They're designed specifically for smoking, not vaping. Vaporizers already operate at lower temperatures and don't produce the same combustion toxins that PureTips are designed to filter.
What's the difference between your filters and generic activated charcoal?
Our coconut charcoal is specifically processed for the right pore size and surface area. Generic charcoal might be too coarse or too fine — ours is optimized for smoke filtration at the right particle size.
How should I store my PureTips filters?
Keep them in the included container or somewhere dry and cool. Humidity can affect the charcoal's effectiveness, so avoid bathrooms or anywhere steamy.
Will using PureTips change how much I need to smoke?
Many people find they need less because the experience is smoother and cleaner. Without harsh throat burn, you can actually taste and enjoy the natural flavors better.
Are PureTips filters legal everywhere tobacco products are sold?
Yes, they're just activated charcoal filters — completely legal smoking accessories. Same basic technology that's been used in cigarette filters and air purification for decades.
What happens if I accidentally swallow a piece of the filter?
The materials are non-toxic, but obviously don't make it a habit. The ceramic and charcoal won't hurt you, but they're meant for filtration, not eating.
Can children or pets be around PureTips filters safely?
The materials themselves are non-toxic, but like any small object, keep them away from kids and pets to prevent choking hazards. Store them properly in the container.
Do you offer bulk pricing for heavy users or shops?
Absolutely. Email us for bulk pricing if you're buying for a shop or using a lot personally. We want to make clean smoking accessible to everyone.
How do I know when I've gotten a fake or counterfeit PureTips?
Only buy from our official store or authorized retailers. Fakes usually have poor packaging, different colors, or don't work as well. When in doubt, reach out to us.
