- The number of cigarettes you smoke per day is the core issue you need to look at: if you are 5-10 smokes per day, you should be fine using a manual cigarette rolling machine. If you say 20-30 per day, then an electric cigarette rolling machine is the way to go.
- Speed and time variables should be part of the assessment process: an electric cigarette rolling machine can roll about 30-40 cigarettes in about 5-10 minutes.
- How mobile is your lifestyle? If you don’t travel frequently, you won’t need a lighter; more comfortable to handle a cigarette machine that can be moved around easily.
- Budget is not too much of an issue; as we stated at the outset of this post, you can get an excellent manual cigarette rolling machine for under $20-40 bucks, depending on the machine’s construction. More expensive models use more massive metal alloys and don’t use as much plastic. But you pay a bit more for these models, as you are getting “more” in the materials.
- Not a lot of terminology to understand with cigarette rolling machines: “manual” machines can mean portable or tabletop, “feed mechanism” is where the rolling tobacco goes into the machine, and “jams” means the machine’s feed mechanism is not working and should be cleaned out.
- Most electric cigarette rolling machines make a King or 100’s size cigarette, so your cigarette production has to be more specific, and you need to weigh this issue carefully before making a purchase. But most manual cigarette machines make King size, 100’s, or both King and 100’s.
