If you think a lighter and a cone piece is all you need, mate — you’re living in the past. The world of smoking accessories has exploded, and whether you’re rolling up or packing a cone, the right tools make all the difference.
In this guide, The Bong Baron runs you through the must-have accessories every cannabis enthusiast should have in their kit — from grinders to rolling trays and everything in between.
Why Smoking Accessories Matter
Sure, you can use a crusty old lighter and a ripped bit of cardboard, but where’s the joy in that?
The right accessories:
-
Improve your rolling or packing process
-
Make your sesh smoother and easier
-
Help you store, clean, and enjoy your gear properly
-
Add a bit of stoner flair to your routine
They’re not just for show — they’re for better sessions, every time.
Rolling Papers: Flavour, Size, and Material
Rolling papers are the cornerstone of every joint smoker’s kit. But not all papers are created equal.
What to consider:
-
Size: Single wide, 1¼, king-size, or even XXL
-
Material: Hemp, rice, flax, cellulose, and bleached vs unbleached
-
Flavour: Some infused papers add extra taste (for better or worse)

Rolling Trays: No More Mess
If you’re still rolling on your lap or your kitchen counter, it’s time to level up. Rolling trays give you:
-
A clean, flat surface
-
Curved edges to catch herb
-
Compartments for filters, lighters, cones, and more
You can even get magnetic lids or custom stoner art designs.

-
Smoother airflow
-
Better combustion
-
Kief collection

Storage Containers: Keep It Fresh, Keep It Legal
Storing your herb in sandwich bags is a rookie move. Quality stash jars:
-
Lock in aroma and freshness
-
Block out light and moisture
-
Help you stay discreet
Look for airtight, smell-proof, and UV-protected jars or tins. Bonus points for child-proof lids.

Lighters & Hemp Wick: Flame Matters
Any flame will do… right? Not quite. Lighters and wicks affect flavour, control, and even burn rate.
-
Classic Bic: Reliable, cheap
-
Refillable butane lighters: Great for torch-level needs
-
Hemp wick: A natural flame alternative that doesn’t alter flavour
