Customer Review

There are different tamping machines on the market.

Some operate according to the proven principle that they prefer the cigarette tube on tobacco. This is almost always the case with the current low cost models. It happens occasionally that the cigarette is not well filled or the sleeve tear. These machines are unforgiving and you have to watch closely how much tobacco is metered. You can also go with this type of machine tobaccos that are a little damp, my experience after almost no longer be processed. Price: Cheap models are in existence for around 5 euros, which are then often the small hand plugger.

Better get off the machines here, the push by metal slide the tobacco into the sleeve. Again, there are different models, at different prices.

There are the large hand machines which can move by means of a large rotating lever. Here tobacco is filled, the sleeve is placed and then triggered by means of a large lever of the mechanism that conveys the tobacco into the sleeve. However, these units are not very easy (ever weigh in robust metal run a half to one kilo). Even the larger models consume a lot of space. Measurements of more than 20 cm in width and length are not uncommon here. Priced these devices are between 30 and 50 euros.

There are also electric tamping machines that push the tobacco into the sleeve. Again, only has stuffed into the shaft and the shaft are sealed by means of levers of tobacco by hand. Only then engages the automatic, which conveys the tobacco into the sleeve. The costs firstly and secondly, the current machines with 80 are - 100 euros not cheap.

There is, incidentally, also a fully automatic luxury model, in which you simply purely fills the loosened tobacco. This then does everything automatically, so I really mean everything. Will cost about 500 euros, the part :).

You do not have but. Who has little space, still looking for a good machine that reliably performs its service and will not issue 30 euros, will find it here with the Zorr machine.

I had previously been the electric version that I made at that time, because I temporarily stopped smoking and thought I do not start again. But how to do that so familiar ...

Now we come to the machine itself. First, as in the pictures seen the black central part, on which stands the name of the machine, folded up. Here you can then tobacco for about 3 - 4 do cigarettes on the feed tube. This should be spread evenly and push slightly forward so that the black, thick plastic handle does not feel disturbed by tobacco.
Serving namely for closing the shaft and takes it a foul if you have too much tobacco in the feed tube.

The body is the actual shaft in which you have to distribute the tobacco evenly and press lightly. Then the black handle is folded back down and gives the machine a smooth plane. This works easily and reliably as long as you have the proper tray is not overfilled with tobacco.

Then you push the little black Plastebibbel, which is the front right of the machine, just to the left, keeping the machine easily fixed.

The result is a finished cigarette.

If you notice here that behind the filter is not enough tobacco, you can by tapping the cigarette produced, distributed tobacco more easily towards filter.

The tobacco used should be well loosened and be neither too wet nor too dry. Also, one should not press too hard or tilt it too much in the actual shaft because of Plastebibbel which pushes by sled to tobacco in the sleeve, is otherwise difficult to use.

In absolute overcrowding should never use force, but rather to engage supplied "tool" and the shaft free, so a machine that does not break. Because raw violence forgive a little one device.

With the commercial volume tobaccos it is the easiest, because you no longer have this really anlockern. Already loose enough usually.

If the tobacco purchased by the way too moist, you can leave open the can for half an hour, then shake it and cover well so that the then superficially dry tobacco with the wetter shares can mix in the depths of the can. That leaves you then for 2 - 3 hours by pulling well, so that the still moist tobacco can give a percentage of moisture to the dry components.

To dry tobacco can hydrate by a so-called Pouch button again. This is a small sponge which is located in a small, round metal part, which has holes all around. The part is dipped briefly into the water until it has soaked and then stuffed between the tobacco. After a few hours of Pouch Button has moistened the dry tobacco again. The should then shake again briefly, so that the proportions of dry and moist tobacco mix well. Alternatively, a slice of apple in the tobacco goes to feed these back with moisture.

The machine can King and Xtra-size filter sleeves. The operating instructions (which by the way described for such a small machine in some detail and illustrated in German) indicates that the tobacco in the sleeve, front and rear must press a little better in the shaft at the Xtra-size pods before pushing. Also, one should be able to live with the fact that ev. Tobacco surpluses protrude from the sleeve or get stuck in the device, because an adjustment lever for the volume of the filter sleeves do not exist. Here just makes the right amount of much who practice only, practice, practice can be determined.

How fast you can produce with the machine Ziggis, all depends on whether one cigarette still knocking and the ends z. B. closes with ballpoint pen tip or fingernails. Per minute 1-3 cigarettes are realistic and definitely to accomplish for experienced fingers.

The machine feels the way wertig to, is very smooth. The result also convinced. For 20, - Euro price is definitely a good buy.

The part has a removable rubber mat down by the way, so that a possible sliding back and forth is effectively prevented.

Anything else important: you can remove the rubber mat. These include screws, which allow an access to the interior of the machine. Please note that here will void your warranty. But you can re-oil the good times sled with a drop of oil when the slide at some point should start to hang or part time undergo a thorough internal cleaning, to find out the tobacco crumbs, which have settled inside the machine.

Ask? Criticism? Suggestions? Tips? Preferably by picking :). I answer definitely.
