How to Make a Cross Joint: Step-by-Step (Pineapple Express Style)

A cross joint is one base joint with a smaller "crossbar" joint pushed through holes punched in the middle. All three ends light at once, all three burn into the same chamber, and you get a triple-strength hit. The trick is the seal — done badly the airflow is wrong and only the longest end burns. Done right it works exactly like Pineapple Express promised.

Below: the materials, the puncturing technique, the airtight seal, and the lighting sequence that gets all three ends burning together.

您需要的材料

3个关节:一大两小,你要大关节的长度为特大号,厚度也合理,两个较小的关节要主接头长度的三分之二左右,直径的一半左右,还要细针或针,从备用片上撕下来的胶条卷纸并且打火机或火柴。将其构建在 a 上滚动托盘有助于保持一切井井有条。

大关节就是嵴柱,两个小的组成横杆,从结构上想一想:横杆关节穿透大关节,三条路径的气流在中心交汇,行进到你画画的过滤端。

步骤1:滚动主接头

使用过滤器滚动大接头过滤器尖端。特大号纸效果最好。使其坚固 - - 这个接头需要结构刚性, 因为你要把针头推过它, 然后再把另一个接头穿过孔。当你试图使刺穿时, 一个松散卷起的主接头会塌陷。将其包装牢固, 但不会密集到无法拉动。使尖端扭曲但易于接近。

将主接头放在一边。

2步:滚动两个小交叉接头

用普通尺寸的纸卷两个薄接头。这些上没有过滤器。它们需要在中心空心,以便稍后完成关键的气流步骤。一个薄的、均匀的气缸是目标。将两端扭转关闭。

Now are the step most tutorials skip: 十字接头进入主接头之前,需要通过每个中心段创建一个空心通道,解开每个小接头的一端,用针从中间的开口端轻轻推动一条狭窄的通道穿过小接头的中心,你本质上是在创建一条贯通线,这样当小接头穿过大接头时,空气可以从小接头的两个燃烧端向内流向中心交叉口,然后向下通过大接头流向过滤器,没有这个空心通道,横截面会燃烧但不会拉动,这是十字接头不起作用的最常见错误。

3步:刺穿主接头

Zhao主接头的中心点,要从尖端往下穿约40-50%De路程,靠近药草段的中心,太靠近尖端,十字架Hui随着燃烧而散开,太靠近过滤器,就没有足够的纸张来封Jie接头。

Yan平地将针头推过主接头,稍微旋转一下,使孔洞变宽,Yao让孔洞刚好大到小接头稍微有阻力就过Liao,过紧穿线时会撕开接头,过松密封不牢,慢慢摆动针头做圆周运动,Jiu能使孔洞逐渐打开。

1个正对面做第2个穿孔,所以两个孔是共线的,交叉接头会穿过两个孔。

第 4 步:穿十字接头

Zhuo你的一个小关节,轻轻地推过主关节的两个孔,Zhi到居中,每边要伸出等长的长度,这个部位要耐心,Zuo动慢,边推边旋转小关节,以免撕开主关节上的纸张,Zuo合太紧,用针稍微拉宽孔。

1个横杆接头做一个真正的十字,那么你就做穿线了,有些人用2个单独的小接头,每边一个,而不是一个长接头穿过中间,那也是有效的,有时更容易设置。

5步:封住路口

Zhe是最关键的结构步骤,横杆与主接头相接的接头需Yao密闭,如果在路口漏气,而不是通过自己做的空心De通道,横杆接头就会烧不均匀,很可能在横杆上Di掉。

Jiu卷纸撕胶条,轻轻舔一舔,绕在十字与主接头相交的Jie口处,用力按压,密封任何缝隙,在交叉口两侧涂Zhuo条,要把横杆接头锁好,四周密封到主接头纸上,Zuo细工作,有人用两三条胶条一面,保证密封完Cheng。

密封件涂上后,将其静置 30 秒以干燥并凝固,然后再进行处理。

6步:点亮它

您需要三个热源或一个协调的打火机通道。目标是让所有三端尽可能同时点亮。如果您先点亮主接头尖端,然后努力点亮横杆两端,主接头将在横杆端部仍未点亮的情况下烧毁,当一切顺利时,您将遇到计时问题。

2个人最佳做法:1个人拿着滤镜处的十字接头点亮主尖,第2个人点亮两根横杆端,如果一个人先点亮主接头,然后快速点亮近横杆端,然后远横杆端,立刻放到嘴唇上,从第一端点亮到绘图的窗口应该在10秒以内。

Draw stable and 烟雾从所有三个燃烧柱应该汇聚在交叉点,拉向过滤器,前几次抽取建立燃烧方向,一旦它去,保持缓慢,稳定的抽取。

常见的错误

交叉接头中没有空心通道是交叉接头不起作用的最常见原因,如果横杆中心是固体,烟雾就无法向内移动以满足主接头流,请确保在穿线前创建该通道。

交汇处密封不良是第二常见的问题,空气走阻力最小的路径,如果交汇处有间隙,烟雾会从那里逸出,而不是流向过滤器,胶条多,密封更好。

1个太短的交叉关节,无法快速保持烧坏,让主关节大方,特大号关节在烧伤到达交叉点之前,给你一个更好的吸烟窗口,事情变得复杂。

Yuan紧洞所以小关节撕裂是一个挫折点, 慢慢地工作, 针是你的朋友, 耐心地打开洞, 而不是强行Da通小关节。

关于努力还款的说明

20-30分钟十字接头第一次做得好,至少一次只为体验值得做,作为派对单品或会话中心单品是无与伦比的,作为日常吸烟方式显然不切实际,大多数人做了一个都满意,然后恢复正常关节,这是完全合理的结果。

Frequently asked questions

Is the cross joint from Pineapple Express real?

Yes — the design works mechanically when the seal between the two joints is airtight. The movie version is showy but accurate to how three-way airflow distributes through the intersection. The hardest part isn't the construction, it's getting all three ends lit and drawing simultaneously without one starving the others.

How do you make the holes for a cross joint?

Use a thin, rigid object — a paperclip straightened out, a thin knife, or a needle. You want a clean punch through the middle of the base joint that's slightly smaller than the crossbar joint's diameter. The hole goes all the way through both walls of the base joint, perpendicular to the burn path. Bigger crossbar = bigger hole. Practice on an unrolled joint first.

What's the best size for a cross joint?

A king-size paper base with a 1¼ paper crossbar is the easiest ratio. The base needs enough length so the crossbar isn't too close to either tip — about 1/3 from the filter end is the sweet spot. The crossbar should be 1/3 the length of the base. Bigger ratios are showier but harder to seal.

How do you seal a cross joint so it doesn't leak?

Wrap a small strip of rolling paper around the intersection, lick it lightly, and press the paper into the joint material until it bonds. The strip should cover both the entry and exit points of the crossbar. If you can blow into one end and feel air come out all three ends with no whistling at the seal, you're airtight.

Do you light all three ends at the same time?

Yes — and this is the trick most first-timers miss. You need either two people lighting simultaneously, or a long match/lighter to light all three in one motion. If one end lights significantly before the others, that end burns alone and the cross joint just becomes a lopsided normal joint. Light the crossbar ends first (smaller, faster to catch), then the main tip.
