I've always had a lot of trouble lighting my joints properly when outdoors, as I live in a windy city and it's almost never possible to take the time to roast it til it cherries perfectly. This has led me to a lot of experimentation to find the perfect light if the end is twisted (which causes it to run frequently). I think I finally stumbled upon it last night, and given the number of my stoner (daily smoker) friends who have the same issue as me, I'd say it's not a well known tip so I thought I'd share, apologies if it's already common knowledge though. I found that if you take just the twisted off tip of the joint and put it in your mouth a tiny bit and give it a roll on your tongue so the tip is evenly wet, then give it a quick light, it lights perfectly every time (at least so far for me). No need for the initial wetting of your fingers post-light to stop it from running anymore! Cheers! Hope this helps at least a few people out.
I never twist the end, just tap it down and poke. it down then just light it. I find it burns more evenly and you dont have a toke of paper on the end. Sometimes the twisted end causes it to side burn. When Im putting them in my pocket I just flatten the end and fold it over.
I knew about baptizing, but personally I don't like smoking other people's spit and I find baptizing the entire thing does absolutely nothing, maybe an extra minute of burn time, it only really effects blunts. I also found a full baptize never helped with lighting, this on the other hand I haven't messed up a light yet.
