Machine Rolled Or By Hand?

[budlover13]

Just curious. I learned to roll when I was younger, but with tobacco. I do OK, but the consistency of good bud makes it harder for me. I finally decided that I would get a roller and have never been sorry. My J's are smokable, but the roller makes them fatter, more consistent burning(no runs), and they look nice and round like a cig. Takes a LITTLE longer, but with the amount I can fit in I can get high 2-3 times off 1 J.

I know, I know. Learn to roll better. And I plan on it. Going to buy a case of Zigs and use about 2 oz. of outdoor my buddy gave me for helping him trim. Lots of rolling. Wanna be able to for those times when you just need to, but I still prefer my roller.

And you?

thats what i do,sit and listen to music and roll up a jar of joints in the machine,cant roll by hand but i can roll a hogleg with a dollar bill

 

[vradd]

i never figured out how to use a dollar bill...

funny cuz i have a roller and have no clue how to get that thing to work right, BUT i can roll a fatty by hand like it was my job.

I used to work with a guy who could hand-roll with one hand. Fun to watch! I asked how he learned and he said you learn to keep yourself occupied when you're doin' time.

nothing like a fine hand rolled joint

you have to just keep rolling, and learning, and figuring out little tricks to make it tighter/smoother/rounder/ the perfect consistency

Much like playing guitar, it's awkward at first but once you start to figure it you the magic happens

So i say hand rolled, if your good at it

ive only used a rolling mat once ,i wouldnt use it again .......(ps) when i first started rolling i was desperate i would always make big sleeping bag j,s but it was only because i was always thinking i was going to fuck it up....practice makes perfect.....

I almost always hand rolled mine until my arthritis got too bad in my hands and then I had to go with a rolling machine. Some of them are junk and when you find a good model they are golden. A good machine rolled J can make everything better. I miss hand rolling them.

 

[alberts]

what model do you use Tommy? My blunts I hand roll are usually great, but My hand rolled Js are not the best.

Machine joints for the car, look like reg cigs and hand rolled for home.

 

[grobofotwanky]

Hand rolled for sure. Those machines always roll too tight for me personally.

I think the exact same

Yeah, you have to be careful or it's like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose!

AH HA thats where the wire comes in, ive got a 6 inch thin wire that i run through the middle of the joint,smooth hits all the way down!

 

[budlover13]

Ahaa! What metal is it made of? So you run it through the middle after you're done rolling?

 

[alberts]

good idea Pilgram

ive
had the same wire for 20 years,it about the size of a trash twist tie,in highschool i sold joints with a bare twist tie in the joint,it doubles as a roach clip! oh yea just run it through the joint.

I've started using a large paperclip that took forever to get nice and straight, but it's been working well! They almost hit too loose. I'm going to have to try a smaller diameter. Awesome tip though pilgram. Thanks again!
