New Excel Owner
Posted by Rabb on Thursday, 23-Aug-2007
I've gone through stages of making my own, to factory, to making my own again.. ect.
I've used handrollers with filterless bali-shag. I've used hand injectors. The Excel, I think, is the last stop in this cycle for me. It's a fantastic little machine. It's much more efficient than a hand injector. I can make cigarettes a little quicker than with a hand stuffer. If anyone is thinking about getting a crank machine, this is a great place to start. I suppose mine is the newest model, it's a deep navy blue made of really dense, shiny plastic. Highly recommended.
I'm still working on my technique, as 1 out of 3 cigarettes are coming out perfect. I'm usually left with about 1/6th of an inch of empty tube at the tip in the other 2/3.

I have an ecel and a new C model Supermatic and I usually get the end void on the first smoke almost every time.

I can suggest 2 things, 1. make sure the handle is all the way to the left so the tube goes on all the way. 2. make sure the chamber is full all the way from left to right.
you can overstuff the excel a little, just dont pack it down into the chamber too tight. I usually fill it evenly and gently use my little finger to make sure it is all the way from left to right and when you inject it will cut off the excess.
The new c model super is by far the best cranker out there. The wife loves the excel but after using the new super she thinks the action is smoothr than the excel
here are a couple of videos I made using the new super and the excel
