Top-O-Matic T2 Cigarette Machine

This is the best machine I've ever used...my last one made it thru 7 years of use

I Love this cigarette loader machine!! I got this because I just could get a check 5 dollar loader to work. Did some research and felt this was my biggest bang for the buck so to speak. It is so easy to use. When you put the right amount of tobacco in the hopper pulling the arm is quite easy. A giant bonus is I can load 20 cigarettes in about 25min. It is Fast! The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is they use a tension spring for the arm that holds the tube in place as you pull the loader arm that is too weak and sometimes lets go of the tube too early. Someone posted a youtube video explaining the problem and said thry used an A19 (I think it was A19) spring from the hardware store as a replacement ths works perfect. I did this with a couple springs I already had and sure enough, it works perfect every time. NOTE: I did not contact anyone on this issue. I just applied this solution on my own.

Have been using the Top-O-Matic T1 for many years. It finally gave out so I upgraded to the T2. The T2 seems somewhat more robust than the bullet-proof T1. Great machine. Highly recommend.

Best and easiest roller to use.

Can inject king or 100mm

This is my first ever rolling machine. It works great! Easy to use.

I love this machine. I’m new with RYO and it took me about 5 cigarette to master this machine. This is so easy, it’s ridiculous. And I’m going to be saving TONS of money. Now to find the tobacco I like the best.

I started RYO with a Top-O-Matic, and eventually picked up a Powermatic 2+. I recently bought a T2 for a friend I had introduced to RYO. I tried it out and did a few modifications to make it better before delivering it. When I unboxed the T2, I noticed a scratch/burr on the back side of the spoon (mid spoon, it would catch my finger when I checked to see if it was smooth). A small piece of 600 grit emery took that out in a few seconds and then I added a stop pad on the inside (YouTube shows that mod). On the T2, I noticed the compactor plate/cutter plate was more precise than my original Top-O-Matic (T1). So it was immediately easier to use. It’s not as precise as a Powermatic, but a definite improvement over the T1. The Powermatic is great if you are using an out of the bag, consistent tobacco with a good cut and isn’t too wet or dry (pretty much anything coming straight from the bag). But it is dependent upon electricity, and isn’t very good with the inconsistent stuff at the end of a bag or if you are blending tobacco to customize your smokes… That’s where a T1 is good and a T2 is slightly better. Sometimes I like to roll custom blends or high end tobacco like Sutliff or Peter Stokkebye blends. I would never put those in the Powermatic because they are very temperamental and could gum up the machine if too wet, or stick to the spoon and clog it up. The T1 and T2 are easy to clean and adjust and work with harder to roll tobacco. And as anyone who has gone through a winter in Texas can tell you, the power might go out from time to time. So having a manual machine in your RYO line up is a pretty good idea. So, if I could only have one machine for my RYO it would be the T2, if I could have 2 machines it would be a T2 and a Powermatic 2+. So if you are mew to RYO or getting a replacement machine, consider a T2, it’s a good machine.
