Elevating the Pre-Roll: How DaySavers is Redefining Your Cannabis Experience

By Marquez Rodriguez

In an industry where innovation is often centered on the cannabis itself, one brand is shifting its focus on something often overlooked but is a crucial part of the whole experience: the tools! DaySavers, founded in 2022 by Harrison Bard and Fredrik Rading, is on an important mission to bring the same level of quality, safety, and innovation to pre-rolled cones, blunts and smoking accessories as consumers expect from their legal cannabis.

LOUD Magazine had the opportunity to interview DaySavers Content Marketing & Communications Manager, James Valentine, to get the full details on your next custom cone and how this company is looking to change your cannabis experience. 

DaySavers is a consumer brand focused on high-quality and specialty pre-rolled cones, blunts and smoking accessories designed specifically for cannabis smokers, by cannabis smokers. Bard and Rading both first launched Custom Cones USA in 2017 working closely with cannabis brands and manufacturers to supply their pre-roll materials. Through some years of research and development, the team uncovered a surprising gap in today's market and their vision came to life! While cannabis products were subject to rigorous testing and higher quality standards, the tools used to consume them were often not. This sparked realization from both and created DaySavers in 2022. Their goal was very straightforward but super ambitious. They looked to develop pre-roll cones and smoking tools that would meet or even exceed the same safety and quality benchmarks as the cannabis itself. Today, DaySavers products are among the most thoroughly tested in the category, screened for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. 

DaySavers Rolling Papers

“Most rolling papers and cones on the market are treated like simple commodity products and often aren’t tested. At DaySavers, every product is tested to ensure the materials people are smoking from are as clean as the cannabis going inside them.” - James Valentine

Historically, rolling papers and cones have been treated as commodity products, as they are often interchangeable and largely overlooked. DaySavers is working to change that perception by approaching product developments with a focus on performance, safety, and design. Drawing from their manufacturing background, the team studies burn consistency, airflow dynamics, and material composition to create a more refined smoking experience. The result is a line of products that pushes beyond traditional expectations, incorporation premium material like glass, ceramic, and wood filters tips, as well as innovation formats that elevate the standard pre-roll.

DaySavers product lineup reflects a balance between familiarity and innovation, covering a mix of classic formats and more innovative products. Best-selling items include premium 1-gram pre-rolled tubes with advanced filter tips and designed to cool smoke and improve filtration. Their Fill-a-Blunts line offers hemp wrap blunt tubes that deliver a slower burn without nicotine, appealing to consumers seeking both flavor and convenience. More experimental offerings, such as the Smoke Temple Cross Cone, demonstrate that brands willingness to rethink what a pre-roll can be. Meanwhile, tools like the DaySavers Perfect Pack Machine bring professional-grade packing methods into the hands of everyday consumers, making it much easier to create a consistent, high quality pre-roll in your home. “It takes the skill out of prepping joints and blunts and makes homemade pre-rolls more accessible – a great tool for folks with limited dexterity as well.”

Every product made undergoes a comprehensive development process. The team begins with consumer research and concept design, followed by prototyping and performance testing. Key Factors such as burn rate, airflow, durability, and usability are very carefully evaluated. Testing is central to the brand’s philosophy. Products are screened for contaminants to ensure they align with the safety expectations placed on cannabis itself. Before reaching the market, each item is reviewed by an internal panel of experienced smokers and industry experts, ensuring that it meets both technical standards and experimental standards. 

For accessibility and market presence, DaySavers has positioned itself as both a direct-to-consumer and retail friendly brand. Their customers can explore a variety of products online, and are often starting with smaller packs to discover their preferences. The brand is also expanding its presence in smoke shops and dispensaries across the United States. Making their products accessible wherever consumers shop for cannabis and related products.
