RE: "cherry falls off". Is it POSSIBLE to adjust tobacco and or machine to avoid the problem, or is it due to the ineptness of person rolling it?

its the design of the machine..tobacco will not pack properly with an auger....it "segments" it....with a regular ingector it clumps it together so there is no segmentation
2091191
the problem is in the design. As the spring pushes the tobacco through the nozzle it chops the tobacco into short strands and that causes the short plugs of tobacco to not connect and keep the cigarette burning thus the cherry falls off. It is a problem with all electric machines

no- the auger inside chops the tobacco too fine which causes it to fall off.

There is nothing that can be done. It is a general design flaw. The injector uses a coiled wire to move the tobacco through the metal tube. The coil wire spins pushing the tobacco into the cigarette tube. As it does this the coil causes seperations in the tobacco not allowing it to "pack" completely. I have tried multiple variations of tobacco cuts, dryness, & moistness just to make sure i understood the problem. nothing helped. Save yourself the time and frustration dont buy any injector of this style.

No, we have tried everything and still same problem, we use a manual one now and no problems at all

It will roll 100's with no problem. You need to use tubes that have filters in them already. I sold mine three weeks after I got it an purchased a different electric rolling machine. This roller is an auger type and my cigarettes had problems with the cherry falling off and burning stuff (clothes, furniture). If you just want to buy one machine get the Powermatic II that is on Amazon too.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

Mine only does that when I put too much tobacco in it. Try putting less and see what happens. I know of 5 others who use this item and they all work well.

Hi, I read what you said and the only thing I can say is, If that's the case you may have to send it back for a replacement my switch is not easy to move infact it has just the right amount of stiffness.Yet you're sounds very loose, let them know that.But if you had it for awhile then it might be hard to do it. I hope that I was helpful. Enver A

I have found it is more of a technique issue as opposed to a brute strength issue. I can pop it off in under a second...but I've gotten used to doing it. Just practice doing a "press & pull", it'll smooth out!

Sorry to hear about your problem wish I could be of help, but I haven't had that problem with mine yet. Although sometimes when opening a bottle of wine I have to try twice because the cork only comes half way out. I starting to think the product isn't as great as I thought.

I would think so.I roll kings and it always has extra tobacco I have to pinch off the end.A great product.JUST DON'T FORCE IT.It will break.

Hello Paxton, No my friend, like most all tobacco pipes, the stem does not unscrew. Although, as poorly constructed as this thing is, that would be a good feature for it to have, because the bowl slides away from the stem with ease and some folks say it broke in that area. As I said in my review, not very well constructed.

it was a bit loud but stuffed the cigarette well-- however with the auger inside it cut the tobacco so fine that when my husband would smoke his cigarette the cherry would constantly fall off. The machine kind of grinds it up before spitting out the tobacco thru the tube.

Thanks so much for your advice, Susan!!! I had a little bit of time while my kids weren't here today to assemble Butterscotch & then she started clicking in a big way. I got online to see what I could find & read your post. Of course, then I couldn't get the neck zipper open again...it was a real comedy of errors. Finally I got the button to push down, using brute force. Then I could unzip & get to work. It's so much better now...no clicking at all. Bless You...you have saved Christmas!!Happy Holidays,Emkay

make sure you pack the ends first. If that doesn't help the tube is sliding back as you inject tobacco. you might have a defective tube holder

The same thing has happened to me as well. I have used wooden skewers to do the job. Just be careful not to prick your finger.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

yes I agree, I had to push really hard to get it off- it seems like it is easier to do now after some time. However the problem with my machine continues -- they have replaced the basket but still the screw cakes up and puts out pulp in all my juices. it has never worked right
