HawkMatic HK2 Electric Cigarette Injector Machine Cigarette Rolling Machine Gray

Over the last several years, I have used a few different models to roll cigarettes. This is by far the very best machine I have just purchased so far. The second best machine that I have used I had two separate purchases was the Powermatic 2 Electric Cigarette Injector Machine. Without going into detail, it did have its limitations. I happen to make a purchase of a third one a few days ago and I was supposed to receive the next day however shipping has been delayed and thus far hasn’t even shipped yet. I canceled the order and decided to try something different so I ordered the Hawk -Matic. I’m really glad that there was a delay on the other machine because this is by far the best machine I’ve ever had. It runs much smoother, the chamber, where you load the tobacco in is easier and a very good design. I didn’t realize till, after the fact, this has a digital counter, which will give you a total of everything you make and a second setting to let you know how many you made for a period of time until you decide to reset the button. Overall, I also like the design because it’s much easier to clean. When filling the reservoir with tobacco on top of the machine (that’s about 10 cigarettes) slide some tobacco forward into the slot with your fingers and lightly press from the right edge to the left edge to evenly fill, by packing it just right it never will jam on you. I might also add that I make my cigarettes in an enclosed screened in porch so when the humidity is high, regardless, how much I seal the tobacco it gets pretty moist. Unlike the Powermatic 2 Electric Cigarette Injector , this one will not jam on you and still makes a perfect cigarette. This is really a great machine and worthy investment. I’ll keep you posted on the longevity. My other machines only lasted a couple of years and I’m anticipating this will last much longer because of a good design and durability. Update: there’s a question asked by one person here what were the two little blue pieces in the little plastic bag? If you look closely, where you attached cigarette to the tube holder you will see a little blue rubber piece. If it gets worn out, you can replace it with the extra they give you. This what helps hold the cigarette on the tube when filling with tobacco. Update: I’ve had this machine for about a couple of weeks and already made five cartons. The other problem I had with the other machine I mentioned above this one has not ruined any cigarette paper and is very consistent in rolling cigarettes. I also noticed when cleaning this machine is very easy because unlike my other machine there’s no nook and crannies for small pieces of tobacco to get lodged in.

I received my HawkMatic on July 13th. I wanted to give this injector a really good workout before I left a review. I must say this injector is the best one I have ever owned. I started rolling my own cigarettes in 2016 when the price of store bought cigarettes got so high I could no longer afford them. I started off with a hand crank roller needless to say I found out really fast that was not for me. Next I bought the powermatic cigarette injector I have used that brand for the last 10 years. I lost so many cigarettes with that machine from jamming, loose rolls and the injector spoon curving and going through the side of the cigarettes. It was very frustrating using that machine but I had no clue what else to buy. In June of this year after 10 years of using the powermatic I had finally had enough I was literally losing 20 percent of my rolls and the other 80 percent were lose rolls. I started researching machines and found that there were a lot of people that shared my frustrations with the powermatic. After about a week of researching injectors I found that the HawkMatic had so many good reviews that I decided to give it a try. Right now on the counter I am at 2281 rolls of these I have only lost 1 cigarette and that was my own fault because I over packed it. As far as jamming goes the machine has not jammed one single time. The machine comes with a very high quality accessories a cleaning brush and a pipe cleaner. The workmanship of the machine is spot on made of high quality material is is a little heavier than my last machine. The accuracy of the rolls have been spot on with ervey roll very smooth. With my old machine I always had to hold my finger on the end of the injector to hold the tube in place with this machine I have not had to do that it makes me feel souch safer not worrying about cutting my finger. All I all this machine is a great buy. I will update my review from time to time to let everyone know how the machine is holding up as time goes on. For now I am saying if you are looking for a great high quality injector made of high quality materials this is the machine for you.

I am very happy with this purchase! I was spending over $200 each month on cigarettes and I needed a way to cut that cost down because I knew I had no intention of quitting. Rolling my own quickly became the answer, so I started doing my research. The top two machines, imo, are this one and one that is about $10-15 more expensive. I went with this one based on the price with a bit of hesitation because I saw more than a few complaints that it rolls them kind of loose, leaves the beginning or end empty, it busts cheap tubes, or it won't fully fill a 100mm tube and that was what I needed it to fill. Keep in mind, these are the same complaints as the more expensive machine as well. While waiting for my new machine to arrive, I went to a local smoke shop to get a better idea of what I would need and how much my new monthly costs would be after the initial purchase of the machine. For two 16 oz bags of menthol tobacco and four 100mm menthol tubes, my new monthly cost is less than $50 (approx $45.75)! Wow! I'm VERY happy about that. So, I got my machine and began my learning process. The first few I tried ended up not filling all the way, so I tried packing some tobacco into the tubes before filling them, but then they ended up too tightly packed, making the draw almost too hard without loosening them up first. After about the third one, I realized that if you just PACK the chamber pretty full from one end to the other (no more or less in the ends and center) you get a tight, perfectly rolled cigarette EVERY SINGLE TIME! I have now rolled over 800 and it takes less time each time I sit down to roll 200 at a time. I even use the cheapest tubes (my local store only has the 100mm menthol tubes in the cheap boxes) and the cheapest tobacco without issue! No tears, no gaps, no binding of the machine based on tobacco length/cut or flavor, and the machine is really easy to clean between uses with the tools provided. The only sound the machine makes is after you press down the lever (which can be a little difficult if you have hand strength issues, but not impossible) and the tobacco is forced into the tube. It kind of reminds me of the sound an old Polaroid camera makes. The counter on mine works perfectly and it arrived at a zero count (some reviews stated they already had 8-15 rolls on their counter before they even started). It can get messy, so be prepared for that and make sure you have an easy set up for cleanup after each use. I definitely recommend you clear/clean your machine after each use to keep it in proper working order. Overall, this is a great machine that has saved me a lot of money, is really easy to use, and pays for itself in literally no time at all compared to the market price of prerolled tobacco. I definitely recommend this machine if you are looking to make the switch.

Great machine! Easy to use, makes factory-like cigarettes. (I use Ohm pipe tobacco.) No breakdowns or trouble after thousands of cigarettes. Saves me SO SO much money and trips to the gas station for expensive packs or cartons!!! Can't tell these cigs from the factory ones.

ADDENDUM 10/20/25 THE BEST! Still working! For the cost, best machine for RYO cigarettes. You don’t need to buy the $300 (probably awesome) injector (which I almost did) unless you’re doing mass cigarette production for people. ADDENDUM 6/9/25 Ok, I’ve hit the 10,000 cigarettes rolled mark. This machine is still working as good as it did on day 1. For the cost, this machine is simply the best. I’ve decided to buy another one and store it away until needed. ADDENDUM 5/4/25 Okay, it’s been 13 months & close to 6,000 cigarettes rolled with this AWESOME rolling machine. I have no complaints. I mean really, for the cost this machine is a BEAST. It rolls a great cigarette and I’ve had 1 tobacco jam! I can’t say enough about this machine. It works, plain & simple, with no problems. And NO, I haven’t been paid or compensated to write this product review. Just the facts ma’am, just the facts! Be kind to self and buy this bad boy rolling machine. You won’t regret it. Due to criminal cost of cigarettes, I’ve gone back to RYO. I did some serious research on electric rollers & for the cost, this little gem for the price is the best in its class and price range. I’ve rolled almost 1,000 cigarettes and not one jam yet. Directions are easy to decipher and machine is very user friendly. Warranty as put forth is very owner friendly unless machine is used in a non approved manner. Now I use cigarette tobacco, NOT pipe tobacco as many people do. My favorite is Bugler and for tubes, Zen (blue box) lights and Gambler (red box) full flavor. I also bought 3 pack of RAW Hydrostone just in case my tobacco goes stale (doubtful). Now this is extremely important when rolling. I strongly advise watching YouTube videos on rolling machine methods too. When you begin, make sure your lever is up and power is on. Drop some tobacco in tray and put some tobacco on the left and right side of machine. Using forefinger push tobacco so it will be firm at end of cigarette tube and at filter end. Now lay more tobacco into machine and gently (4 fingers I use) pack tobacco down. DON’T OVERFILL OR OVERPACK, as machine can or will jam and cigarette will be almost impossible to smoke. It’s trial and error and you’ll be a pro in less than an hour. Now if money $ isn’t an object I’d buy the Powermatic lll series also known as the beast, but IMHO, probably one of the best. Overall, this machine for the price is a winner and I strongly recommend it. I’d put up video , that’s what YouTube is for. Enjoy!

June 6, Apparently, it takes this machine to start working properly. With my finger holding the tube and by watching videos, for it, I have been able to makes 100's. I found I have to use a lot more tobacco to get that result. The seller contacted me trying to make things right. He or she gave me instructions on how to make 100's. I've been making them since 2009 and with different machines. So I still say this one is not the best, but it's better than some I've used and it sure beats using a manual. I still want my Warranty Card because, without it, I can't take it to one of their repair shops. That is, to my knowledge. But what is going on with this freaking tobacco sticking to it like a magnet? Today, I saw a smithereen of tobacco jump out of the hopper onto where the lever is. Talk about bizarre. The orginal that I bought in October of 2021, which started jamming last month, didn't have that problem and made excellent 100's from the get go. It would be great if I could get another one of that version than this. June 4, 2024 I just got this yesterday and am already regretting it. It will not make decent cigarettes. I didn't get a warranty card and I suspect it's used. I paid for a new one. I don't recommend buying this upgraded machine. By the way, a reviewer said they went to Amazon for their refund. Apparently, the seller will not respond or refund your money. I, highly, recommend you don't buy this machine. It just isn't worth it. If you do decide to buy it, go to the web site. There are eye openers there you need to know about. UPDATE May 16, 2024. I was having difficulty using this until I super cleaned it. I unplugged the machine. (Don't worry. The amount indicator stays the same. ) I cleaned the trough where you put the tobacco in and the inside of tube holder with alcohol and a Q-Tip. Then I used the brush that comes with it. I got poked by the end, which was quite painful. So this time I used a tough garden glove. Now it runs like new. October 2021 First review. I like this machine, but I had to relearn how to use an automatic cigarette machine all over again. So, be patient and follow the instruction card, especially, if you smoke 100's. We use Gambler 100 Tube Cut and Golden Harvest, just for reference. Make sure you put your tobacco in the ends and then the rest in the middle, tap lightly, then pull the lever. If the lever doesn't move well, then use the end of the screw brush to take out extra tobacco. Me and my husband had to learn that this is the best way to get a full cigarette where the ends don't fall off. You know how it goes, you have more burn holes in your clothes, carpet and chairs than ant hills in a desert. The reason I bought this is because our PowerMatic II was not injecting tobacco to the filters anymore, and we had to use a lot more tobacco to even get a half way decent cigarette. And with Amazon's 4 A.M. to 8 A.M. free delivery, it was perfect timing. I bought this at 5:32 P.M., it was shipped at 7:06 and arrived here at 6:25 A.M. With the time frame and since I could keep track of how many stops the delivery vehicle was away from our home, it was super convenient as I knew when to greet him at the curb. Now that is service! Four things for comparison. First, you don't use as much tobacco. Second, It is a lot lower. So this is where some of the learning curve came in. I had to rethink on where the machine sits compared to our other one. Three, I had to learn to not overfill or push the tobacco in so tight. And, I also had to learn that I, no longer, need to hold the tube while it is being filled. I found, that when you are ejecting extra tobacco, the counter will show that you made cigarettes that you didn't. So that accounts for why some reviewers said they didn't understand why it showed they made more than they did. I really like the tools and how they are set into the box, one inside and the other on the opposite side of the styrofoam the machine comes in and, on the other side, is where the tray is imbedded for safety. I also like the way the end of the screw brush can be used to remove extra tobacco. The brush is soft and does a good job of cleaning this machine. I also like the tray, that comes with it, and the cover to keep tobacco from slipping behind it where it has become unusable. I have thrown away a lot of old tobacco because of this because we have a cat that sheds year round. His fur has gotten mixed into it and there is no way to separate it. I also found I can use dry as well as moist tobacco and it still makes decent cigarettes. These two features also save you money. The plug is huge, and, it sits horizontal, on our power strip, rather than vertical. So, I had to remove a night light and adjust others plugs just to fit it in. By the way, make sure you don't crimp the power cord. I, highly, recommend you try one of these Hawk-Matic cigarette injecting machines. Due to it's commendable features, in my opinion, I think it is well worth it. As usual, with all my reviews, I will update my review, if anything changes.

Rolled a few packs worth of 100's right out of the box and it works great. Bought this to replace my pro matic 3 that made it to just shy of 90k cigs rolled before developing issues. This HawkMatic 2 seems to roll 100's nicer than the pro3 that would leave a gap at the filter and tobaco hanging out the ends 95% of the time. Overall I like it, its less than half the price of a pro3, its more compact and lighter, and makes less mess. Only downside is its takes alittle longer and it woulda been cool it if came with one of those plastic packing bars to push the tobacco into the slot, but still 5star and I will likely buy one or 2 more for backups before I buy another promatic3.

I originally went with the Powermatic 4+ heard great things about it used it for several months GM to lie if the tobacco was too fine at jams a lot now all of a sudden it won’t make 100 size cigarettes anymore. It will not take them tobacco for some reason to make 100 Hawk Matic has been jam free since I bought it a month and a half ago very very happy. The motor is much stronger makes 100 no problem like the metal body on it good quality machine if I would have to choose again, I should’ve gone with the Hawk Matic originally.

avant j avait une machine a rouler powermatic 2 et celle ci la hawk fonctionne pareil et es plus petite et un peu moins chere. ma powermatic fonctionne toujours apres 2 ans mais j en voulait une nouvelle car ma powerrmatic es dans une boite quelque part suite a un demenagement et je sais pas ou et aussi que ces machines habituellement brisent apres quelques annees. donc je m en suis achete une nouvelle et je suis pas decu. la hawk fonctionne aussi bien. reste a voir si elle es aussi durable.

J'ai reçu le dimanche 15 mars l'article HawkMagic. Fonctionne à merveille. Je la recommande.

Super machine , vaut le coût, très facile et cigarette parfaite comme ceux fais en usine. Et en plus ils m'ont remboursé 10$ a cause des frais de douane à ma grande surprise. Mise à jour, après plusieurs mois d'utilisation cette machine va à la merveille et ce après plus de 4000 cigarettes produite,
