mojo the ol' fart who feels older

I could never roll a hand joint to save my life. Unless a tootsie roll counts. I have always used the roller style I have attached. They rock, once you catch on how to roll a not overly tight joint. Put a filter in off the start, roll it up and bam. I can roll thick or thin joints as well as include the various additions without waste. Such as concentrate kief or hash. Will some times add oil to another paper and roll with it. Yes that is extra paper but I use thin rice paper. Hope this helps ya somewhat.

I’ve used the Raw handroller for 20 years. They are made out of hemp plastic and last a very long time. I’m on my 2nd one now.

I like those little manual rollers, I have 3 of them. It provided and means for my wife to roll a really good joint almost flawlessly. I was eyeing that machine that makes 100 joints at a time. My problem with anything other than a hand rolled joint is that I would not be able to have oil on the paper, that would really muck things up. Regardless I can roll a perfect joint every time still (for now) by hand, with oil. It does seem to be a small problem making and inserting a filter. That is something you can do with the little hand roller easily though, just hold the oil.

Futurola is the company you want. New take on the old finicky rollers of yesteryear. They make a Tommy Chong model too, who he himself has pretty bad arthritis in his hands which is why he uses one.

I second the raw rolling "machine" simple design, I have a zig zag roller must be 30yrs old the rolling material was wore out but raw sent a spare with their roller I slipped it on my zig zag now I have a spare, easy to use, pen joint to a fatty with ease, I have MS nerve damage I have numb sausages for fingers these days and I can still use the raw roller.....

only deal with machines is they role HUGE joints lol

thanks folks....these ain't he golden yrs....they are the rusty yrs...)

I've tried a few cheap ones and they were garbage. might give the Futurola a try, ty @CalaxCrusher for the tip. Years of vibrations from running power equipment has caused permanent damage and some days rolling is a challenge.

used to think rolling was tough when I first started...then a buddy lost his arm in a Car accident.
He rolls like a champ with one hand..with filters
amazing what ya can do if ya put your mind to it ..

Me too!. Rolling is still doable but sometimes I cannot filter it easily. The little manual roller is good if you want to roll with the filter in, likely I will be stuck on that soon enough.

A crazy fellow I used to bowl with was the same. He lost one arm playing chicken with a van ... on a motorcycle.
He even managed to get up on water skis one day after a few hours of trying. Nothing held this guy back.

I use the rollers. I can roll by hand but with a roller I can turn out commercial grade cigarette quality doobs with a filter already installed. They smoke perfectly and there's no fighting the doob at any point. I roll pretty good by hand but NO hand rolled joint smokes as well as a roller made doob. I don't care who rolls it. It's not a matter of pride, it's a matter of what works best.
A good grinder and roller make first rate joints. Paper choice matters as well. My fav paper is the Raw Classic Natural Unrefined. The perfect paper imo

Fellow MS'er here too, neuropathy of the fingers is a bitch. Can still roll, just a bit slower though. Ive got a roller just in case, but I find they dont hold a whole lot though

Luckily I can still twist up a joint or a cig like a pro but so rarely smoke joints it doesn't really matter. I stick my shorty pipe in my Med+ainer, Medtainer.com, and good to hit the road. Nice little bud buster in the bottom and storage for an eighth with the pipe.

Now if it just had a built in lighter it'd be perfect.

Joints waste so much pot I got into the habit of one hitters in the pipe long ago when I didn't have much pot. Got a bong/water pipe if I want to load a big bowl for company.

Oh yeah.

My wife uses one of those little rolling machines for her cigs but then again, she's a girl.

and Merry Christmas!

That's a girl with skills I do not have...lol
Probably gonna need one of those before too long..
and some lesson's

A few of the buds make fun of me rolling in my roller but surely appreciate the end result. I can roll a very nice joint with plenty of herb in them. When one learns how to apply the right pressure when rolling, can offer up some nice looking joints. It takes a bit of practice as I rolled many a loose as well too friggin tight to even light. But again many can roll just as nice or even better just by hand. Mine just never turn out and I usually spill half of it.

All good.

I roll by hand, the wife uses a "Zen" brand roller. Her joints are usually prettier than mine, but her's don't ever seem to burn evenly and mine usually do. Sometimes her's start to come unglued halfway through smoking. She can't roll by hand and she smokes twice as much as I do so I bought it for her because I was tired of prerolling J's for her every morning before going to work.

Farmer: Not sure what a zen roller looks like but if it's similar to a zig zag or raw rollers, just like venge stated its all about getting the tension just so, I have noticed it takes more practice to get heavier paper to burn straight for some reason might be worthwhile to have her try a couple different brands if she hasn't....
