The other big lesson with this machine was to NOT OVERFILL. One thing I did right away was to take the little plastic plate off the bottom so the tobacco could easily fall out, and I gently shake it after each use to get out what I can. This after making on average 4 packs of 100’s a day for about 2 years. I literally wore my first one out and just received my second. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I can’t live without it. If this is the case the only thing that can be done is to have the machine replaced. Make sure to keep mixing your tobacco throughout its use, this helps keep the fine stuff from falling to the bottom so that all you end up with is fine tobacco.Ģ. If your tobacco is too fine, you need to buy another bag and mix it with that.If it is too dry, try taking a wedge of an apple, the peel of an orange, or a damp paper towel and putting it in with the tobacco to moisten it.Only do this for ½ hour to 1 hour at a time, any time beyond that could cause your tobacco to be too dry. If the tobacco is too wet, you can dry out your tobacco by letting it sit out a little at a time (as much as you will use in one sitting) to dry it.The machine is not made for pipe tobacco which is too wet and dense of a tobacco for our machines and it will cause jamming, parts bending, breaking, not filling tubes, the motor to burn out, etc.Tobacco could be pipe tobacco, too wet, dry or fine. JAMMING: This could be a few different reasons:ġ.
