cigarette rolling machine

Any advice or past experience using a cigarette roller would be greatly appreciated.
So to the point, basically i cant roll cigarettes, so i bought the roller, i used it and it worked fine, i went to go back and use it a second time and now it doesnt work. The problem i have with it is that when i begin to roll it, it pops out and pushes all the tobacco out. Now i know this isnt the greatest description, but i feel anyone who does have experience with using one may understand what im on about, but yeh in conclusion, isit completly busted or is there a way i can fix it. thanks

 

Lol, cigarette rollers are pretty straight forward Maybe take it back to the shop you bought it from and get them to take a look, in case it is a faulty roller.

Or even better, learn to roll by hand

 

What kind of roller is it? I use a Rizla rolling machine and it's a lot different to zig zag ones.

 

yeh its the rizla one the blue 1, i know how to use it, i used it once and it worked fine. Now when i start to roll it round, it just pops up and kicks out the tobacco making it go everywhere

 

yeh they are simple it worked for me the 1st time, but now its broken some how =/, yeh ive tried learning, but just cant master the tuck bit, any tips? And unfortunately i bought it online, i think they may be sending me a new 1, but thats another 3-4 days =/

 

check out this video

i have a rolling machine too, just takes a bit to get the hang of it. never used it for cigarettes before though ;P

 

cheers bro, this is my commenting before watch the video so my comment might be completly pointless but i know how to use the roller, my problem is that i think mine is broke and was just wondering if people have had the same problem and been able to fix it, and yes i also rarely smoke cigarettes ;p

 

If I rush, occasionally it throws out my tobacco and filter but if I take my time and don't force it, I have no problems. Make sure it clicks shut too. Don't force it!

 

hmmm that my be part of the problem actually, im going to try do it slowly when i get back home, then update you all, not that its that important to you guys>_< lol
unfortunately it still pops out even when i do it as slow as possible, i looked at one of the screw it does look a bit loose

 

The best tips on learning how to roll is just practice. Get some tobacco or some weed (whatever you are using the cigarette roller for) and just sit there watching TV and practice over and over. That is what I did when I was first learning how to roll joints, and it is a good skill to have

 

yeah definately, practice is key, but ive watched many tutorials and i still cant even get close to getting the tuck right, another to make me wana give up and find an alternative billing up a joint

 

just so any1 who was actually interested in how things went, i told the people who i bought it from online, they sent me a new 1 which came the day after. I opened it and had the exact same problem, so i was thinking they cant have sent me two brokens one's i must be doing it wrong, turns out i wasn't putting enough tobaccos init, since i've started adding more its worked great, so that's a small tip for any1 who may be experiencing similar problems
