Hey all -

I'm looking for a decent cigarette roller, or a tube injection machine. I've used the cheap plastic ones from Top to poor success. Can anyone recommend a reliable, reasonably priced model, either electric or manual?

Thanks -

Kegan

I tried http://cgi.ebay.com/Top-70mm-Cigarette-Rolling-Machine-Roller-New-Sealed_W0QQitemZ140347836197QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_ DefaultDomain_0?hash=item20ad620725&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

And it didn't work. Amazon suggested this one:

where a reviewer said the Supermatic I has a sturdier frame than the Supermatic II.

OH, I was unaware of the frame issues. I would go with that supermatic then. I have a guy that works with me and rolls his own and he hasnt has an issues with this supermatic 2

I actually decided to go with this little number:

Which, ironically has a plastic frame, but it's apparently sturdy plastic and is a dream to clean. Plus, I finally found a use for my dwindling supply of pipe tobacco - I can now break it apart and smoke it instead of having to mix it with anything to get a decent-sized bowl.

Thanks for your help on this!

Kegan, don't skimp and get super cheap tubes, they will break very easily. A good inexpensive tube for these machines is Mascotte. Very sturdy.
