What Is an Infused Preroll? A Beginner’s Guide

Prerolls have been around for years, but infused prerolls have become one of the fastest-growing formats on dispensary shelves. If you’ve wondered what the “infused” part actually means, this guide covers the basics.

Preroll vs. Infused Preroll

A standard preroll is ground cannabis flower packed into a rolling paper or cone, ready to light.

An infused preroll takes that same idea and adds a cannabis concentrate, such as an oil or other extract, to the flower. The result typically carries a higher labeled potency than flower alone.

How Prerolls Are Infused

There’s no single method, and every producer does it a little differently. Common approaches include:

• Mixing concentrate into the flower before it’s packed.
• Adding concentrate through the center of the preroll.
• Coating the outside with oil and sometimes a layer of kief.

Because methods vary, check the product label for what’s inside and its labeled potency.

Why People Choose Infused Prerolls

• Convenience. No grinding, rolling or packing required.
• Higher labeled potency than flower on its own.
• A slower, more social format than a vape, for when you want to sit with a session.

If you’re new to infused products, start slow and give yourself time.

How to Light an Infused Preroll Evenly

Infused prerolls can burn a little differently from standard ones. A few tips:

• Toast the tip first. Hold the flame just below the end and rotate the preroll so it lights evenly all the way around.
• Take gentle draws. Pulling hard can make it burn unevenly or too hot.
• Watch for canoeing. If one side burns faster, rotate it so the slower side faces down, and let it even out.
• Let it rest between draws rather than relighting immediately.

How to Keep It Fresh

Keep your preroll sealed in its tube until you’re ready, and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark. Our storage guide has the full rundown.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Lighting it like a cigarette. Pulling while you light tends to burn one side. Toast the tip evenly first.
• Pulling too hard. Hard draws make an infused preroll burn hot and fast. Gentle and steady is better.
• Leaving it out of its tube. An open preroll dries out quickly. Seal it back up between sessions.
• Rushing. Infused prerolls carry a higher labeled potency than flower alone. Take your time and wait between draws.

The BULLET Infused Preroll

Frequently Asked Questions

Are infused prerolls stronger than regular prerolls?

They typically carry a higher labeled potency than flower alone, because concentrate is added to the flower. Check the label for the stated potency, and start slow if you’re new to infused products.

How do I stop an infused preroll from canoeing?

Toast the tip evenly before your first draw, take gentle draws, and if one side starts burning faster, rotate the preroll so the slower side faces down.

Can I relight an infused preroll?

Yes. Let it go out fully, keep it in its tube in the meantime, and toast the tip evenly again when you relight. The flavor can change slightly on a relight.
