Are you over 21?
Accessories are the part of the order people forget until they are standing in the kitchen at eleven at night without a lighter. Cannadreams stocks papers, cones, grinders, batteries, storage and glass, delivered free to every neighborhood in Manhattan and ready to collect at 862 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen.
Rolling papers are made from wood pulp, rice, hemp or flax, and the difference is real rather than marketing.
Wood pulp is the classic, easiest to handle and the most forgiving for a beginner. It burns fastest and contributes the most flavour of its own.
Rice paper is very thin, burns slowest and adds almost nothing to the taste, but it is slippery and unforgiving if your rolling is not confident.
Hemp sits between the two, with a bit more grip than rice and a slower burn than wood pulp. For most people it is the sensible middle.
Bleached white papers use chlorine or peroxide to get that colour. Unbleached brown papers skip it. There is no meaningful performance gap, though plenty of people report a cleaner taste from unbleached.
Cones are pre rolled empty papers with a filter already fitted. If you cannot roll, or cannot be bothered, they do the job in thirty seconds with a packing tool.
A two piece grinder just grinds. A three piece adds a chamber to catch what falls through. A four piece adds a fine screen and a kief catcher underneath, collecting the loose trichomes that come off during grinding. Over a few months that chamber accumulates something genuinely worth having.
Aluminium is the standard and lasts. Cheap zinc alloy grinders shed flakes and should be avoided. Acrylic teeth snap. Look at the teeth, which should be diamond shaped and sharp rather than blunt pegs.
Grind coarse for joints and finer for vaporizers. Over grinding is the most common error and it restricts airflow in a roll.
If you buy 510 cartridges, buy a variable voltage battery rather than a single setting one. It is the difference between a cart that tastes good throughout and one that tastes scorched after a week. Look for adjustable voltage, preheat and USB C charging.
Match the battery to the oil. Thin distillate runs happily at low voltage. Thicker rosin needs a little more heat and a wider airway. A five hundred milliamp hour battery is plenty for daily use.
Glass over plastic, every time. Plastic holds static that strips trichomes off the flower and it can impart a taste. An airtight glass jar in a dark cupboard with a two way humidity pack at sixty two percent will hold flower properly for months.
Keep pre rolls in their tubes, cartridges upright, and anything with a battery away from heat.
Dry pieces, water pipes, bubblers and one hitters all work on the same principle, cooling and filtering smoke before it reaches you. Water pulls out some of the harshness. More percolation means smoother smoke and more cleaning.
Clean it. Isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shaken and left, takes ten minutes and transforms how anything tastes. Resin build up is the single most common reason a piece stops being pleasant to use.
This is the category people remember late. Add it to any order and it arrives together, free over $35, anywhere on the island.
We are in Hell's Kitchen, so Midtown goes out fastest, from Port Authority and Restaurant Row across to Herald Square, Koreatown, Penn Station and Grand Central, and on into Midtown East by Beekman and the UN.
A few minutes further gets us Chelsea by Hudson Yards and the High Line, the Upper West Side by Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center, and the Upper East Side through Museum Mile and Yorkville.
Downtown covers Greenwich Village and Bleecker Street, the East Village around St Marks and Alphabet City, SoHo and TriBeCa through the cast iron blocks to Hudson River Park, and the Financial District from Wall Street to Battery Park.
And uptown covers Central Harlem by 125th Street and Morningside Park, East Harlem around Marcus Garvey Park, and Washington Heights up to Fort Tryon and the George Washington Bridge.
Prepaid online by debit card or bank transfer through Aeropay, since New York does not permit cash payments to delivery drivers. The driver checks your ID on arrival.
Order ahead on the menu and collect at 862 9th Ave, or walk in. Accessories are the one category where handling the thing genuinely helps, since grinder weight, battery size and how a piece sits in your hand do not translate to a photograph. In store we take cash, debit and Aeropay.
