It is important that you take time to familiarize yourself with the machine. The more familiar you become with the machine and the tobacco you use, the better your results will be.

When making and smoking custom made cigarettes, keep in mind that there are not fillers and additives that keep the tobacco glued together inside the tube like a manufactured cigarette. You will need to take time to learn which setting is best for your smoking enjoyment.

DO NOT pick up the machine by the injector needle!

DO NOT place tobacco on or near the start button. This will cause tobacco to fall into the motor  area and can clog the machine or cause the wires to short circuit.

Unplug the machine from the outlet before performing any maintenance or cleaning the machine.  You can be harmed by the machine if you do not unplug it.

As with all machines, cleaning will help reduce problems.

Clean the auger and the nozzle with a damp cloth. Make sure to let all areas dry before  plugging the machine back into the outlet or operating the machine.

The corkscrew auger is removable for cleaning purposes. Before removing the auger, make sure to remove all tobacco from the inside the container area and the injector tube. If you do not remove all tobacco from the area, it can clog the machine when you replace the auger. When you place the auger back into the filling tube and turn slowly, it will go back into the machine.

Tobacco is too dry. To keep your tobacco at proper moisture content, devices like Humidipak packet work the best.

The filling in the cigarette tube is too light. Turn the adjustment knob in the + direction. This will take time to find the right setting for your smoking enjoyment and can vary with different tobacco used.

The filling in the cigarette tube is not consistent. The tobacco may need to be spread or feathered to help it slip easily into the filling tube. Also, placing your finger lightly on the filter end of the tube while filling will also help the tobacco to be distributed evenly throughout the tube.

After filling the cigarette tube, tap the filter end of the cigarette on a flat surface to help pack the tobacco down inside the tube.
