While trying to inject the tobacco into the tube, hold the rubber cover that holds your tubes on the nozzle with your finger. If you can make some good cigarettes this way then the following adjustment will need to be done. You may have to play with the adjustment a little while to get it right, so please be patient. This device suits both King Size (84mm) and 100mm cigarette filter tubes. You can adjust the size with a few clicks.
The top holes of the PS ‘H’ linkage (with its harder post and stronger rivets) need to be a tad bigger (6mm). The PS aluminum cutter is a bit thinner (.005″) and needs brass shim stock laminated to the bottom, the new PS plastic cutter is only a few thousandths smaller and works just fine. The PS spoon/mounting screw set fits and works fine.
Then sometimes the serrated push rod likes to stick out and just snap back a lot. When all this start happening I just disassemble the ohm tobacco who thing and scrub everything off with alcohol then hot water. After the parts are shiny clean and new looking i put it back together.
Personally, I don’t like either of them.All your other points are related to gunk buildup. Anyone who has taken apart a TOM knows its not immune. The reason its not as much of an issue with the TOM is because the cutter/compressor fits looser. While the ideal is a well mated snug fit (e.g. Excel), its just not possible to get that kind of accuracy/consistency with sheet-metal (why there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Supermatics). The rugged metal construction of this Limited Edition Topomatic is just the start of all the great features of this amazing machine.
My top o matic was not working good ..not loading tobacco close to the filter. Finally today I decided to turn it over and use some q tips loaded in witch hazel to clean every crook and cranny I could reach. I’m sure alcohol would work fine also, both dry fast and won’t cause rust. These Top-O-Matic Cigarette machines are ideal for rolling you perfect tobacco cigarettes every time. To begin with, we understand that the Top-O-Matic T2 Cigarette Making Machine isn’t as exciting as some of the other Top-O-Matic Electric devices.
This cigarette machine will make king size as well as 100 mm cigarettes. Also comes with a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty. Comes with warranty card and instructions. Better than captain black tobacco the original Top-O-Matic because it’s stronger and faster! Made completely of metal it is built to last. Made for faster and a more efficient way of making your own cigarettes.
Specially that hole where tobacco gets pushed through. I use a swab and man does it get filthy nasty in there and you cant even see it when you look. After all is back together it works like new.
To make cigarettes, you need to make size adjustments and use your favorite filter tube. Usually, after making a pack of cigarettes yourself, you will gain the necessary experience in filling tubes with tobacco using this device. The first TOP that owned & used for almost 7 years was made in Germany.
But the brand I use now is doing well but after a while it became harder to get an even cigarette. My answer to the problem was my old standby WD40. A few things that I like about this machine are the temperature control, the easy-to-clean bowl assembly, and the interchangeable filter options. I also like the size, it is small enough to conveniently store under the counter. The manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty on all of their products and even offers replacement parts if necessary. Very similar cigarette machine to the Supermatic.
Only time will tell how much an impact this has on machine longevity. The original Supermatics also had brass components. The reverse stamping of the slotted piece and the prouder locating bump (red arrow) makes it easier to adjust the tube release timing. The ‘H’ linkage/cutter set needs modification to work.
