You're welcome. I just noticed there was a part two to your question. Not sure how new you are to "RYO" but, what you will need to start making cigs is a bag of tobacco and a carton of tubes. Usually one pound of tobacco will make two cartons of cigs or a little more. I usually get 12 cartons of cigs from 6 bags of tobacco and it costs around 100.00 so my smokes are running around 8.50 a carton. I use smokersoutletonline.com for my stuff but you may find a site you like better. Hope this helps...this machine paid for its self in the first month I had it.

Machine is amazing. I have used other machines before and the cigs always either broke the paper or were loosely packed. With this machine I haven't broke a single cig in several cartons rolled and the only problem I have had is I have to be careful not to overpack the cigs as sometimes they are too tightly packed to smoke(easy adjustment just don't add as much tobacco) .

This is a really nice, easy to use machine. It's not a roller, it uses tubes. It's really easy to use and makes kings, 100's and unfiltered cigs. My favorite thing about it is that there are very few working parts on it, so not a lot of things to go wrong.

I smoke only "roll your owns" made with a rolling machine, and use the TarGard for every smoke. I've gotten to where I can usually roll them the right size to fit, but if on the loose side, I wrap a bit of tape around the end of the ciggie to take up the slack.The TarGard draws smoothly and traps lots of goo with no loss in taste...well worth using. From time to time, a crumb of tobacco will block the smoke passage, but that goes with smoking unfiltered cigarettes.

This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller. If your back is tender you may want to consider purchasing a regular foam roller. When I first purchased foam rollers, they were sold by colors to indicate the firmness of the roller. The white was the softest, green was a medium and the black was the firmest. I alternate between my regular black foam roller and the rumble roller, depending on how intense of a massage I need. I find the rumble roller is good for people that have "graduated" from the regular foam rollers. The bumps on the rumble roller can be very intense if you are not use to it. I hope this answers your question. Good luck! This is the only rumble roller that I have owned. I can't compare the firmness of any other rumble roller.

I smoke tabacco (fantasia shisha) out of mine. Little effort and pulls nice white clouds. Not at all harsh (unless i put 3 nara cocos on it for a very long time).

It holds up just perfect I have no concerns bought the product I rolled 3 cartons of tubes in 2 1/2 hours I can not complain bought the product I am quiet happy bought it I LOVE this roller and the reason I bought this roller is cause I wanted a change from the crank kind I have had a lot of rollers since I have been rolling cigerates and to be quiet honest if a person bought this the would probably say the same thing that I am unless they are IDIOTS.

I had a weber charcoal smoker and it didn't last. This smoker is worth it, and propane is much easier. If u know what your doing, then flavor should not be an issue. Temperature is easy to control with this smoker.

It's okay for a cheap pipe. Long time pipe smokers, like myself, will probably tire of it. It heats up a bit fast. The bit is not as strong as a pipe in the $30 and above price range. Plus the filter, is not removable. So there is some cleaning involved. I'm old fashioned. I began smoking a pipe when I was 19. Now, 64, I prefer the more solid woods, like briar, or cherry wood. And I don't like filters. So, as I said, for a cheap pipe, it's not bad. But I'm not going to cut costs on my pipes from now on. To get a good pipe, way back when, you would spend about $20. Now, to get a good piece of wood, you spend about $30. Amazon is reliable. It's a good seller. And I plan to purchase some of their $30 and above pipes in the future. But ones that allow me to 'remove' the filter, if choose. Like I said, I'm old fashioned. I don't smoke a pipe. I breathe a pipe. I hope that helps.

I think it is worth the price. Amazon hasthe best price. The unit is very portableAnd heats very fast , retains heat longerbut I wish there wete more than 8 rollers, 12 would be better. It's much better than what I had before and thinking of purchasing extra rollers , buttoo expensive , seems like investing in another unit price wise is a better deal.Didn't see any cheaper price elsewherethan Amazon.

I would strongly recommend the Artisan Hayate if you want a competition-level pad. It is the fastest, most accurate pad I have used. It has good stopping power, but is also very smooth at the same time. I have yet to have found anything better. It also grips against the surface you put it on so that the pad does not slide, and has a few other useful features as well. If you order it directly from Japan, you can customize whether you want more horizontal slide based on the weave, etc. but I found the Amazon offering to be just fine.

Yes a short one. I have had four and they last an average of about ten months, but I roll a carton a week with tobacco that is not tube cut and that wears them out faster. The best tobacco I have ever used if you are say a Marlboro smoker is Vengeur made by Two Daughters.

I use it with flat stock...you can check out some examples at Steel Your Idea on FB. It's my craft site. This was the best ring roller for the price! I use if for all my applications in my work to get a circle or rounded end. MIFF

I've found it to be much firmer than the standard rollers... nothing else really holds a candle anymore. It's not hard like the grid rollers (it does have a bit of give) but I would say this is as firm as you would want it to be, anything more would probably injure a person. Much more effective than the grid roller in my opinion. The only other thing I use besides this is a set of Trigger Point Therapy rollers for my calves.

The smokiness of the food is very similar to a tradiational smoker. And the time is very fast compared to the tradiational. It doesn't create the "bark" or crust like a traditional smoker, so if you like ribs with a bark - this isn't going to do it. But, I love chicken, turkey and pulled pork out of the pressure smoker - and, it's so fast. The tenderness is as good or better than a regular smoker. The pressure smoker hasn't replaced my stick burner smoker, but it compliments it for fast smoked foods.

I seriously doubt it will work for you. I had a tough time even making cigarettes with regular tobacco. If you plan on making your own for a long time. I highly recommend you get one of the better ones available here. I started with this particular machine. I did not last one day messing with it. Just my humble opinion.

well I am wondering why I did pay so much as I have only used it twice not worth the money. read all,the amazon reviews not good. I have another machine for under $100 and its the best never had to take the back of the machine cigarettes are great so don't pay any more.

Amazon asked me to reply to you, but unfortunately I've never used roller string trees. I CAN say that I like the GT units, and that they're certainly worth a try! : )
