Using a glass tip really does make smoking a joint smoother however, as someone who prefers to use Raw Cones as opposed to rolling my own, both sizes are too big for the Raw Cone filter. Additionally, the four little glass nubbins inside don't do much to filter out scoobys on their own. It really sucks because I ordered the larger size originally and then, after receiving them and seeing they were too big, I emailed the company to ask if the smaller size would work with a Raw Cone but never received a response. After seeing a pic of what appears to be a Raw Cone with a CLIIXX glass tip on their Facebook page, I incorrectly assumed that the smaller size would work and ordered the smaller size. It's a clever design and a quality product otherwise so if you are into rolling your own and don't mind the scoobys, you'll be happy with the product.
