rolling machine question

[brian hobo]

im looking to buy a rolling machine. i cant roll joints by hand. are king size ones worth it? i like knowing id be able to roll blunts with it too, but can i put smaller papers in it and still roll decently? has anyone heard of the brand Perfect Roller? im looking for a roller that'll give me nice even joints. i can roll blunts decently but itd always be nice to know the roller can do them. basically any suggestions are appreciated.

basically i have the option between a 78mm roller and a 100mm. 100mm is around 4 inches while 78 is around 3 inches. im thinking the king size wouldnt be a bad idea, but i want something real easy to stash.

no matter what size roller u get you will still get joints as big as the papers u put in it. if you overload a 4 inch roller with 3 inch papers the herb will just stick out the ends of the j, then u just pick out the parts sticking out and twist he ends and smoke it man! get the biggest roller u can, just in case it will still work with normal papers, and its all set up if you want to roll a big long fattie,

yea , bigger is better, id get the 100mm.....i rolled 2 Js with one on friday, and omg, it was like a cigarettte

screw that... haha 2 years ago i built my own... cost more than an actual roller but how the hell else are you gonna roll a foot long inch wide spliff in under 10 min...lol

- 2 - wood dowels (bout a little under half an inch
- 4 - finishing nails.. or just the smallest u got
- 1 - brown paper bag...

itll take a little finess to situiate the bag but all ya need to do is cut a strip of it however long u made your dowels... like 5 inches is usually a huge with but w/e your pleasure i guess..
tape the bag strip into a toob put both dowels in there and go to work... it wont have the sides that a machiene has to hold the dowels but if u cant figure it out then u shouldnt be rolling that big

Eh, joint rollers might be convienent, but theres nothing quite as nice as rolling your own.

definately. i threw my machine away cuz its not as satisfying or however you spell that

the way i roll mine takes 5-10 minutes for a normal sized zigzag joint. i cant roll for shit, which is why im seeking a rolling machine.

the 78mm seems nice because i usually only roll 1.25" zigzags. the small size will make it easy to stash.

the 100mm is nice because itll be able to roll king size joints, normal sized joints, and blunts. plus its only like 50 cents more. i think ill go with this one and pick up a pack of marley king size papers. thanks guys.

(p.s.: if you want a link to this ebay store, the guy has good prices on rolling machines and papers, PM me)

[billy dempsey]

its up to you which ya want to get but i still say roll your own. even if you cant do it that great now, practice makes perfect. and what better to practice than rolling and smoking joints?

quick question about king size papers:
i was gonna order a couple packs along with my roller cause no gas stations around here have king sized papers. however, this brings my shipping costs up a crapload and to me, its not worth it. i was wonder, is sticking two papers together to make 1 big one bad? are king size papers stronger than normal ones, or just bigger? you know...take one paper, then take another, rotate it 180 degrees, lick parts of the gum and stick them together. good or bad idea?

yeah i do that with 1.25 papers. with 1.5's i just use one

I gotta agree with Billy, practice makes perfect, and once you learn you'll never go back to a machine. I'd say save your money and go buy a few packs of papers to practice with. Just sit down and roll one after another, you can even recycle the pot, just rip the paper off and start over. Its not like papers are expensive. After an hour or two and a pack of papers, you should be rolling like a pro. Just read a few how-tos and try different things until you find a technique that works for you. Also, you mentioned also using a rolling machine to roll blunts, I don't see that working very well at all. Just my 2 cents.

[brian hobo]

of course ill practice, i still try just to end up failing. im not saying ill never hand roll joints, this is just something i can use to roll some fast joints whenever i need to.

i copped the 100mm roller and a pack of bob marley king sized papers. i plan on getting an eighth of some mids from my dealer this week and rolling that shit.

rolling machines are the shit, i got a chills one on ebay, rolls the best joints in a matter of seconds.....never rolled blunts with it, i know it can tho because its a 110mm....you would probelly have to lick the crap out of the blunt to moisten it before u roll it so it stays together never done it so i dont know.....rollers are the shit

Old topic but oh well. I got a automatic box rolling machine. It's pretty tight, rolls good cigs and joints. I want to get a futurola, but unfortunatly they dont sell em at the head shops around here.
