HK2 Electric Cigarette Injector Machine for Size of Tubes: King & 100mm

I am very happy with this purchase! I was spending over $200 each month on cigarettes and I needed a way to cut that cost down because I knew I had no intention of quitting. Rolling my own quickly became the answer, so I started doing my research. The top two machines, imo, are this one and one that is about $10-15 more expensive. I went with this one based on the price with a bit of hesitation because I saw more than a few complaints that it rolls them kind of loose, leaves the beginning or end empty, it busts cheap tubes, or it won't fully fill a 100mm tube and that was what I needed it to fill. Keep in mind, these are the same complaints as the more expensive machine as well.While waiting for my new machine to arrive, I went to a local smoke shop to get a better idea of what I would need and how much my new monthly costs would be after the initial purchase of the machine. For two 16 oz bags of menthol tobacco and four 100mm menthol tubes, my new monthly cost is less than $50 (approx $45.75)! Wow! I'm VERY happy about that.So, I got my machine and began my learning process. The first few I tried ended up not filling all the way, so I tried packing some tobacco into the tubes before filling them, but then they ended up too tightly packed, making the draw almost too hard without loosening them up first. After about the third one, I realized that if you just PACK the chamber pretty full from one end to the other (no more or less in the ends and center) you get a tight, perfectly rolled cigarette EVERY SINGLE TIME!I have now rolled over 800 and it takes less time each time I sit down to roll 200 at a time. I even use the cheapest tubes (my local store only has the 100mm menthol tubes in the cheap boxes) and the cheapest tobacco without issue! No tears, no gaps, no binding of the machine based on tobacco length/cut or flavor, and the machine is really easy to clean between uses with the tools provided.The only sound the machine makes is after you press down the lever (which can be a little difficult if you have hand strength issues, but not impossible) and the tobacco is forced into the tube. It kind of reminds me of the sound an old Polaroid camera makes. The counter on mine works perfectly and it arrived at a zero count (some reviews stated they already had 8-15 rolls on their counter before they even started). It can get messy, so be prepared for that and make sure you have an easy set up for cleanup after each use. I definitely recommend you clear/clean your machine after each use to keep it in proper working order.Overall, this is a great machine that has saved me a lot of money, is really easy to use, and pays for itself in literally no time at all compared to the market price of prerolled tobacco. I definitely recommend this machine if you are looking to make the switch.

I waited until a good amount of these before reviewing. At this time I have made 4,650 cigarettes. This has been a very impressive machine. Fast and easy, I personally can make 32 cigarettes in 5 minutes. Buying tobacco Buy the Pound and empty cigarette tubes I'm paying about $1.50 a pack. The savings is well worth the initial investment.

I've tried other cigarette making machines, and this one is the ONE to buy!!!! Works easy and fast, making PERFECT cigarettes!!!! Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone!! Easy to use also! LOVE IT

I only found out about RYO recently. Retail cigarettes are so expensive and as cost-of-living has risen for me, I needed to find ways to save money. For roughly the price of 5-6 retail packs, this Hawk-Matic HK2 Electric Cigarette Injector is well worth it. It is easy to use and after some practice, I've learned how much pressure to use to get a consistent amount of tobacco distributed evenly in each injection. Too tight, and it doesn't draw well, too loose, and the cigarette is too airy. For 100mm tubes, I use ~0.9 grams of tobacco. For 85mm tubes, I shoot for 0.8 grams (100mm tubes weigh ~0.3g, 85mm tubes ~0.2g).After only a month, my cigarettes are perfect. Another benefit of RYOs is that pipe tobaccos have far fewer chemicals. I've never understood why retail cigarettes contain so many toxic additives. Smoking is still very bad for you, but I can't ever seem to quit permanently. At least I can now buy all-natural tobacco. Incidentally, My smoking rate has decreased slightly. It's also nice that I can adjust my smokes as I like. Sometimes, I like a bit of menthol; sometimes, I like a stronger or lighter taste. Anyway, now I have far more options for so much less $. Assuming the HK2 lasts ~3 years, each pack of 100s costs just under $1 and even less for 85s unless I use pricier tubes like Kasmire. This includes tobaccos, tubes, shipping, and amortized cost of the HK2. I suppose I could save further by purchasing tobacco in 5lb bags, but I’m still experimenting with different tobaccos and tubes.Tips:- For 100mm tubes, always pack the ends first using slightly more pressure than the middle.- For 85mm tubes, pack the butt end first (again slightly more pressure). I have small hands and using my pinky to block the other end of the filling area gives me the perfect length for these shorter tubes.- I clean it after 40-50 tubes or at the end of each session, if fewer. It takes only a minute and the only time it jammed on me was because I didn't clean it.- To keep tobaccos fresh, I vacuum seal mine in 1/2 gallon mason jars with oxygen absorbers and store them in a cool, dark place. Time will tell if this works well. If it does, I’ll start getting the 5lb bags (｡^‿^｡).

I have had this rolling machine for quite a few months now it’s still runs like brand new never had a single issue very durable and great for the price and reliable
