The original Elements papers produce almost ZERO ash except for a small, thin white line because they used nongummed, thin rice papers.

Pure rice papers have no chemicals, no standard pulp and no hemp. Elements designed a paper from pure rice and then pressed it to make it ultra slow burning and incredibly thin.

The newer style Elements are watermarked with their proprietary Criss-Cross imprint that prevents runs and maintains the smoothest burn around. They still feature premiere rice papers that are slow burning and flavorless with a natural Acacia gum. Just like Elements originals they burn with zero ash, except for the tiny line of residue caused by the Acacia gum turning into caramel as it burns. These are some of the highest quality rolling papers on the market!
