Winter Smoking Tips: Prevent Clogs and Harsh Pulls | Canu Essentials

Cold air thickens resin and shrinks clearances. That’s why winter hits feel tighter even when your gear is clean.

Warm the airway first
Hold your pipe in a gloved hand for a minute or keep it in an inside pocket. A few dry pulls (no flame) warms the airway enough to prevent instant condensation.

Pack a hair lighter
Cold herb + tight pack equals choke. Use the same medium grind but tamp a touch less than usual. Stainless screens from Canu Essentials keep debris down even with a looser pack.

Shorter flame time
Cold bowls invite long burns that gunk the screen. Keep flames lighter and longer between puffs, not hotter.

Quick end-of-session wipe
Before you step inside, eject and tap the bowl, then wipe the rim. That 10-second habit stops frozen resin rings from forming.
