seconded? i take a bit of firm magazine cover, roll it into a tube and pop it in my joint. what on earth is a roach style?
by double barrelled do you not just mean a roach with an M in the middle, used with larger roaches to stop everything being sucked through? that's still just "a roach"

i don't quite know what you mean, but put it this way, when i don't have much $ or green i rip off the paper and load a bowl, or if $ is good and the green is flowing good, i make generation joints, and for those of you who can't figure that out its where you roll a joint of just roaches, then you take those kind of roaches and roll another joint from those...after that i usually just bowl it

people have issues with the word roach. i think americans class a roach as the last dregs of a spliff, as opposed to roach simply being the cardboard "mouthpiece"
and i've never been able to comprehend people who will rip apart residue caked shite and roll it into a new joint, utterly revolting.

I quit rolling joints a long time a go once i learned how to role perfect spliffs one handed
. i figured at that point i have probly smoked my body weight in joints
. so i just stick with sliders, bongs and bowls now
. i like a vaporizer every so often. i just moved to Europe to so i dont have many people to burn with so no need for J's. But for roach style i liked roaches with wings so i can smoke it to the face
. i never saved them any ways. just another way for the man to catch you up. My joints were always like ciggs same thickness all the way through, unless i was roling Bob Marley style. then i would pull a pinch of weed out the end so by the time it was a roach it was flat with wings so i could hold it to smoke it all the way down.

I grow enough not to have to fuck with the bitter end - into the garbage disposal it goes.

the thread is talking about roaches as in the piece of card. not what is left after it starts getting hot and harsh (in the UK we'll call that a roach as well, it's generally clear from the tone and context which meaning is being talked about
this thread is about cardboard
(althouhg as i say, it seems silly, why not a thread about whether you roll leftie or rightie or what ratio of tobacco or just how do you roll your joint)

what is wrong with a roach... if you're wary of the amterial (and when i state cardboard that is purely so people will understand the context, the roach can be paper card, birthday card, magazine whatever)
for poeople getting wierd over health issue or something, there are 1001 chemical free, hemp, blah, roach tips available to buy for pennies such as RAW tips etc.

haha, do i dare ask how simple you are for a roach not to be simple? just joking, i couldn't refrain myself after it popped into my head haha s'all good, i know that americans don't often use roaches and filters and such with cigarettes either (all i can say is after a cigarette and looking at the filter, i'm glad it's there, it's stopping a litlte bit of death at least )

Differant parts of the world do it diff ways my friend. i like my shit to be solid to. but my man tip top likes tips in his. its just a personal pref. a roach is a roach last 1/2 inch (or 1 cm in tip tops case), of a joint / blunt.

as has been stated, there appear to be cultural differences.
I am only speaking for the UK i guess, but over here, a roach is both. it is either used in reference to the small plug at the end, typically rolled up magazine cover etc, and it is also referred to in the context of an old horrible joint end, the leftovers of a smoke. "just let me roll a roach" being the former, and "i've a roach if you're desperate" being an example of the latter. we are used to it so can easily differentiate between uses.
in the states a roach is simply the left over joint from last night, but i guess roach smoking is vaguely more acceptable based on the fact that Americans don't roll with tobacco. in the UK we do so you can immagine it's a little bit nastier than purely leftover green. you got all the tar and everryyyyyything in there, yum! :S
