Roach Clips - Do people still bother?

[robereno]

Remember when back in the “olden days” roach clips were a required accessory. They where ubiquitous and even sold at record stores. Creative people were always coming up with artistic ways to hold a roach.

Does anybody still bother with using one? Suppose most people these days are bonging or vaporizing. Being an old hermit, I don’t know what’s going on in the real world. But I’m still curious.

i have a couple, but no i do not bother anymore

 

[Pinball Wizard]

I still use my clip. Always, will... ...it's a hermit thang

 

[FreezerBoy]

I still have mine but, it's more nostalgia than used. I use a stone holder these days. A flat circular rock with a hole drilled through it. Much easier to light smaller roaches without burning your lips.

I have a little trouble holding on to small things these days. Now I hold a roach with a pair of pliers.

a ziti is the perfect j holder.

Cool, we used to call the stone with a hole a 'zooey'. I think because when you tried to get that last hit, it would suck through and into your mouth. When you spit it out you'd go, 'zooey!'. I think the original ones were the ceramic tops of swing top beer bottles, like grolsch came in before they switched it to plastic.

People still use roach clips. Especially when the stash is gettin low and your tryin to get every bit of it. Most of the time people just use 2 dimes or other change around here

We use one of those desktop post it note holders, they have a perfect built in "roach" clip... the part that holes the note.

edit... like this

 

[DoobieDuck]

Doobie clips um...saves the roaches in a shot glass that is filled to the brim...sure stinks...DD

I'm strictly vaporizer these days but the wife still loves her joints and her roach clips. She's actually partial to a pair of hemostatic forceps.

 

[yortbogey]

i've got several pairs of hemostatz......use'em on all kinda schit.....wreffer too

 

[Painfull]

Roach stones or roach pipes are the bomb.

 

[mushhead]

Bong or pipe all the way.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

I used to have several hemostats and novelty clips. Now I only use an alligator clip like thekingofNY.

 

[ToughGirl]

I'm a bowl smoker 99% of the time. When I do occasionally smoke a joint, I use hemostats! They are just strategic roach clips

I had a ceramic stone that was part of a keychain.

This obviously was in the years before drug testing circa 1977 or so.

damn coot, yer showin your age there. i haven't seen a stone in 20sum yrs. i only use clips if passin a J at a party otherwise i like to save the last inch for roach joints when i finish my jar

 

[Clackamas Coot]

Jammie

LOL - yep I'm pretty old. The 40th high school reunion is next month down in So-So-Cal.

I haven't smoked a joint in probably 25 years because I'm probably the world's worst 'roller' ever. I just never got it with regard to that vital skill.

Wee!
