Rolling your own cigarettes or herbal smokes can seem like a daunting task, but with a little practice and the right tools, it can become a simple and enjoyable process.
The RAW Rolling Machine is a popular choice for those looking to roll their own, thanks to its ease of use and consistent results. This article will guide you through the steps of using a RAW Rolling Machine, ensuring you get the perfect roll every time.
The RAW Rolling Machine is designed for ease of use, making rolling your own cigarettes or herbal smokes simple and efficient.
Preparation is key: Ensure your herbs are finely ground and your rolling paper is correctly positioned.
The rolling process involves placing your herbs in the machine, using the rollers to form the cylinder, and then sealing it with a lick.
Practice makes perfect. The more you use the RAW Rolling Machine, the better your rolls will become.
Before you start rolling, you'll need a few essentials: your RAW Rolling Machine, rolling paper, filter (if desired), and, of course, your smoking material (tobacco, herbs, etc.). Make sure your herbs are finely ground for an even burn and easier rolling.
RAW offers a variety of rolling papers to suit different preferences, including classic, organic hemp, and unbleached options. Choose one that suits your taste and make sure it's the right size for your rolling machine.
If you prefer to roll with a filter, you can either use a pre-made one or make your own by folding a small piece of thin cardboard into an accordion shape. This helps in keeping the shape of the roll and prevents any material from getting into your mouth.
Open your RAW Rolling Machine by sliding one of the rollers up and away from the other. You'll notice the machine has two rollers held together by a band on each side.
Take your chosen rolling paper and place it between the rollers with the adhesive strip facing towards you and upwards. This positioning is crucial for sealing the roll later on.
Sprinkle your ground material evenly across the open area of the rolling machine. If you're using a filter, place it at one end of the rolling area. Make sure not to overfill, as this can make the rolling process more difficult and potentially rip your paper.
Once filled, close the machine by bringing the two rollers together. Hold the machine with both hands, one on each side, and start rolling the rollers towards you with your thumbs. Do this gently but with enough pressure to compress your smoking material into a cylindrical shape.
With the material compressed, take the bottom edge of the rolling paper and tuck it between the rollers and your filling. Start rolling the machine towards you again. The paper should catch and start to roll into the machine. Stop rolling when only the adhesive strip is visible.
Lick the adhesive strip of the paper, then continue rolling it through the machine until the paper is fully wrapped around the smoking material. Open the rollers, and you should have a perfectly rolled cigarette or herbal smoke.
Gently tap the end of the roll on a flat surface to pack the material down. If you used a filter, ensure it's firmly in place. Your roll is now ready to enjoy.
The Roll is Too Loose or Too Tight: Adjust the amount of material you're using. Too much can make the roll too tight, while too little can result in a loose roll.
The Paper Tears During Rolling: This usually happens if the paper isn't inserted correctly or there's too much material. Ensure the paper is tucked tightly and reduce the amount of filling.
Uneven Rolls: Ensure the material is spread evenly before rolling. Practice makes perfect.
