- Re: Magnum Injector... Take a back seat
- Posted by Freddie on Sunday, 23-Dec-2007
Just a little update to let you all know what's going on in my life.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ topic | top ]
Got my proto-type machine working like a machine should. It may not look as fancy as Magnum's but it works like a cigarette machine should.
Smooth chamber and nozzle closes solid and smooth like a rifle chamber and bore. The chamber opening and ram stroke are adjustable to allow for tobacco cuts and moisture. Also pressure adjustable chamber will not close if there is too much compaction, thus allowing user to remove excess tobacco and re-adjust chamber opening.
You can under stuff, but you can't overstuff .... just keep making adjustments until desired firmness.... then start "cranking" out the best consistant smokes ever made on a home machine.
I am working on a low pressure adjuster for the back half of the compression chamber to prevent under stuffing as well as overstuffing.
(overstuff... won't close. Understuff.... won't eject)
I have my hopper/feeder mounted and if I may say so myself.... I think I have finally made the perfect machine (when I get my auto tube loader completed ). I haven't seen anything yet that even comes close to what I have. This is MY design from the ground up and it all fits on a food tray.
Sorry... after the insults I got from my hopper photo... NO Pictures or further details will be posted.
However, I may sell my machines on Ebay if all goes well selling here at my local tobacco store and when I get my dies made to increase production.
Just know that I warned Magnum of their flaws and offered to help... They though their machine was good enough, so I kept my test results to my self.... After all, I've been there through my trial and errors over the past several years.

Freddie,

first and for most let me say that I have been a MYO connoisseur for many years.. I don't say or think I know it all, I do admit that I have learned a great deal from this web-site alone and I am also grateful.. The Magnum caught my eye because of the design and the advertisement of the quality of the machine and the outcome of the finished cigarette.. Let me say that I have read some of the debate over your pictures and claims on here and I have no opinion on the matter.. I would like to say that I would be interested in your machine, and would very much like to see and hear more on the subject.. You can respond to me here or my e-mail address.. Keep up the good work and it sounds like Magnum has dropped the ball..
.. Thank's My friend ..

LOL... My only concern is that I showed you too much.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | topic | top ]
Actually, I posted the worst photo that reveals the least amount of detail as to how it works.... It is an old test model (not my latest) with all the frills removed ....that makes it load over 2 packs of smokes (without stopping) as fast or faster than any electric out there .... Faster if you consider consistent, manufactured looking cigarettes.
Now, Had I received positive remarks and a little interest, I would have been happy to post/share clear, sharp and revealing photos.
I hope all you "experts" buy the Magnum Injector.... LOL

Frankly, Freddie... Put up or shut up! If you want to get praise about your gizmo, then post pictures that show it. Not a lame image that hardly allows most people to even get a gist of what you have. At the very least, describe it in detail. What you have provided so far is BS.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
Actually, I think you may have something, but the way you go about it makes me think you are full of it, even if your gadget isn't.
Quit trolling for BS, because that is all you are going to get if you continue to be so evasive when confronted by ANY criticism.
IMHO, you are turning off more folks than you may think you are getting interested in your gadgetry, which I assume you are wanting to make a profit from. No problem here! There are plenty of people who might be interested in it, but you may be paving a road of failure by your antics.
As I said, put up or shut up! Prove it or lose it.

Your opinion is the least of my consequences as to what I choose to do with my loader/hopper, however it certainly leads me to believe that I am wasting my time here.
I have tried to contribute to this site, but withheld significant improvements and details due to the negative or no responses to most of my posts. I though maybe I am over-reacting and that maybe this is not an exclusive site for a few "members only" and therefore made one last attempt to share one of my projects.... What do I get.... "You need to get a better camera"
However, after the Mike c response ...."I thought enough of it to email Dave"....I was getting ready to post more details as to how it works and a much better, detailed photo.... Then you had to let your alligator mouth overload you hummingbird ass.... I had no intention of selling this... as a matter of fact, I was in the process of making changes and plans, that would allow anyone to make it.
Enough is enough..... I choose to shut up
WHOEVER RUNS THIS SITE..... PLEASE REMOVE *ALL* MY POSTS AND PICTURES.

Freddie, you may have gotten a better response your initial post had you concentrated more on the benefits of your hopper design and less on bashing the magnum, which I doubt that you have ever seen and don't know whether it works as advertised or not.

Dash, I have been working with this stuff for over 5 years. I am still using my original supermatic after many initial modifications. It works better now than when it came out of the box. Much better than my Fresh Choice Electric Joke (where I let my stupidity get the best of me).
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
Magnum Injector: good concept... Like the Fresh Choice... Bad Idea, Not even close to output quality of the hand crank.
I studied the film.... using calipers, I measured filter diameter in movie and used that reading for a benchmark. I was then able to get fairly accurate measurements of ram/plunger, tobacco plug that falls off end of each cigarette, amount of compression and etc.....I take nothing back about what I said about the Magnum Injector.
Go back and study the MI movie and see what it is and not what you want to see. Watch him handle finished cigarettes and the tobacco scatter all over the desk.
Dammit, I said I wasn't going to say any more.... I just came back to see if my posts were deleted.... and I do want my posts deleted. As far as growing up.... well... I hope I still have a few more years left to do so... since I can't remember what high school was like..... and oh yes.... I did graduate HS.

My post may be interpreted as being hostile, but it was my "subtle" way of saying if you have something to show the people here, then show it.
Don't post messages and lame photos and ask for a response, unless you are ready to take the heat. Personally, I would really like to see what you have, but I grow tired of your method.
If you are worried about someone stealing what you have worked hard to achieve, then apply for a patent. In any case, YOU came here and made your claims. Now, all I was and am asking is for you to support them. That isn't unreasonable.
No high school cliques or any BS like that. I and many other folks, IMHO, simply get tired of anyone who appears to only be seeking attention by the method in which they post messages.
Maybe I fit that category, but you do also.
In other words, show us what you have if you are so inclined. Otherwise, quit making statements about how great you and your idea is. Nothing personal.

I didn't say I was great, after all, I did buy a FreshChoice machine without researching it out.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
Now, as far as my hopper goes.... yea, I think it is great.... When I make a change/improvement, I GIVE the old one to my tobacco store owner to give to his Crank customers. They like it too.
Kerry, you just keep running your mouth..... but Leave me out of it.... you don't know me.... If you want to grandstand.... pick on someone else.
Kerry, although You have accomplished one thing.... By you attacking my character, you have made me regret that I ever posted the photo or anything about my hopper/feeder.

He has been runnin his mouth for awhile about the magnum and other things I have always thought it was because he was duped into buying a freshchoice and has been bitter ever since.
- Re: SupermaticII Hopper photos
- Posted by Dash on Sunday, 04-Nov-2007
It sounds to me like he's bitter because Magnum wasn't interested in his hopper, not because he bought a fresh choice machine.

I don't really give one rat's ass about the Magnum, personally, or what Freddie thinks about it. My problem with Freddie is that he is a blow-hard, who is seeking attention and praise, but isn't willing to show the goods. At this point, I am not sure if he really does have anything to show. I really don't care. As for Freddie "Enough is enough..... I choose to shut up", I doubt that very much. He has already proven he is a liar by posting more BS. He doesn't even read what he is replying to either.

You may be right about the Fresh Choice thing, though. I still can't imagine anyone spending that much money on an unproven machine, although many good people have.

Freddies hopper obviously still uses the tips of ones fingers to get the correct amount of tobacco into the hopper and properly tamp it down to compensate for moisture and cut. The one I'm working on uses the back wall of the hopper (movable) with a weighted drop down curtain made out of shim stock with a rolled edge to sweep the tobacco over the chamber but has an adjustable tamper attached to the front of it. Right now it's a three step process, sweep, tamp, crank but i think it can be automated into two. I'm still Alpha testing it but should have it mounted on a supermatic II in ten days or so. When I do I'll post pictures and throw it out there for suggestions for improvements.

it didn't ever stop me from giving him credit for teaching me the use of the machines, or even liking him since I could relate

- Re: SupermaticII Hopper photos

No, mike c, I'm not looking for praise.... If only the rest on this forum was like you.... this would be a very nice site.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
You tell me what you think without appearing to attack my character or making demands (like put up or shut up)... that's fine, we all have opinions, but you don't appear to be too quick to attack or judge. I would love to share my experiments and details with you, but I can not do that without these other low lives getting details also. Now I'm not calling everyone on this site a low life... they know who they are.... There are good people (I believe) on here, but as in life... a few rotten apples have to ruin it for everyone else.
I have changed my opinion of D Lers somewhat, because of what you recently said to me. I would say that he and I have a lot in common and I too, am straight forward, as you probably can tell.
mike c, I have tried and tried to become a part of this forum. Almost every time I made a post, I either got an insult or no response at all.
I was not looking for praise... I was wanting feed-back that might help me improve what I was working on or may help others.
Praise.... don't need it, don't want it!... I have found many times that praise is a first sign of a back stabber in action. If I wanted to sell my stuff, I would have put them on Ebay.... This is just a hobby.
Again, when I get online to check my email, I come to this site to see if all my posts and photos are pulled then I can close the books on this site.... while here if someone posts concerning me, I may respond... or in Kerry or David Brown's case taunt/tease the smart mouthed, know it alls (that's why I posted that last photo)... just to piss em off more.
mike c, again, it is a shame all can't be like you.... anyway, just the old, basic hopper in the photo... although not automated like my latest... will save a lot of time and mess when using your hand crank.

I don't think you and Dave have anything at all in common, and to say that you do would be an insult to Dave.

Don't you mean you would have been willing to sell them your latest photos and details. I seriously doubt that you were willing to "give" them anything and that's why they weren't interested.
"(that's why I posted that last photo)... just to piss em off more."
That's quite a contribution to the forum. I don't know if Dave will delete your posts and pictures but one can always hope. What are you functioning at Freddie, about a twelve year old level? Get some professional help.

Friddie, I don't think you appreciate the fact that many of us have been regulars on this wonderful site for over a year, and some since its birth. We have people come here for many other reasons than to learn and share information about tobacco, machines, merchants etc. For instance, when the Fresh Choice Machine was being touted by a few strangers before anyone of us ever seen one in person, as the best machine in the world! It didn't take us long to spot the chillers, because they insinuated the only reason none of us had one was that we were either too cheap to spend the $400+$100 for an additional years warranty, or didn't have the ability to come up with that much money at one time! We are a cautious lot; to say the least! We have heard them all, and we like to see the "Proof of the Pudding" so to speak, not just the recipe! I seen this situation brewing and hoped cooler heads might prevail.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
Personally, if I were to use a hopper on my Topomatic; I'd want one of Dave Lers mods, because Dave's design will allow you to clean the tobacco as you go without any undue hassles, and it's compact. If you are truly in the spirit of sharing, then post your photos if you have them! I for one am open-minded, and maybe your ideas will prove useful to the newbie and seasoned Connoisseurs who frequent this site! Capt Mike

Does Dave's mods serve as a humidor for low RH environments ?
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ parent | OP | topic | top ]
Look, I am not here to compete with Dave, clearly I am not wanted on this site... the damage is done and all is left it to clean this site of all my history... including photos and I am gone forever from this site..
I do want all to realize what the smart mouths have cost them... Even the old "Model T" photos I posted are better that anything I have seen on the net. My newest... the hand do not touch the tobacco after it is put into the hopper.... yet you still can inspect and remove any unwanted material by hand before pulling the crank.
How many times have you seen a gadget and say "why didn't I think of that?".... well I am sure that in time someone will refine my old photo project into what I now have.... maybe even better... at any rate, this forum has got all it's going to get from me.
I no longer want to win friends or influence people on this site .... I just want my posts/photos and all history removed from this site.
Oh.... I also have a project machine that is over 2 yrs old and it is pneumatic shock "cocked" by electro magnetic operation.... I uses the same concept that the magnum, but that's where the simularity ends .... that is why I contacted them to let them know their pit-falls.... you see, I have already been there and found the solutions.... Also, where they use gear driven, I use pneumatics. I am reworking the chamber right now to adjust volume for different cuts and moisture levels. I am very close to having a completely automated machine. I blasted the Magnum long before I contacted them. So I later contacted them and recommended a full length nozzle, split 4 ways at the end so as to form a taper so that paper tubes would slide on yet re-expand to allow much less compressed tobacco fill the tube with no excess tobacco falling off end of finished cigarette.... Magnum wanted to keep what they had, so I kept the rest of my stuff to my self. Now that is the story about Magnum.... I really wanted them to succeed because that's the closest thing to my machine project that I have seen so far. I have no intentions of doing anything with my machine.... I is just a challenge, something to do and a hobby.
This is all I have to do the pass the time since I retired.... I have a little shop with mini-lathe, mini-mill, plastic strip heater, scroll saw and etc. I can work with metal or plastic. I like it...NO... I love it and I did want to share my experiments and machines.... But NOT NOW .... So all you mouths... Go ahead, run your mouths and have fun (only this time try putting your brain in gear first)..... You will NEVER know what you mouths caused you to miss out on and I am sure that most of you won't care, cause that is the type of selfish and self destructive generation that we now have.

Excuse me for butting in here...I am a brand newbie to this forum and to MYO cigarettes. I've been making them since about the 1st of October this year. I am so grateful to have found this site for all of the helpful and informative posts; it has saved me a lot of potential headaches, so for that, I would like to thank each and every one of you who have contributed here. I might be stepping out of line by saying this, but I thought it might be helpful for you folks to know that arguments and name-calling, etc. can be counter-productive, especially for some of us newbies who are still trying to learn. Although it makes for a pretty fascinating read at times, it might also turn some new people away from looking further. That would be a total shame, because I have googled away, looking for sites that can provide some reliable information about MYO without trying to sell me something, and this site has proven to be a Godsend for me, and besides the ryo magazine site, the only forum I have found so far that fits the bill completely.

Hey Freddie

Are you saying you have developed a machine that runs on electromagnetics and air cylinders? I think the problem you ran up against with the Magnum folks is that development has been finalized, and they are now preparing for production. I also believe they may have had some funding problems as well. I am also retired, and my other hobby is miniature steam engines and model ship building. I am in the process of building a 39 inch model of the Seguin Tug Boat, and I intend to power it with a V-Twin double acting engine and gas fired boiler; it will be radio controlled. If I had your equipment I might try to build a steam powered tube stuffer as a conversation piece! Hell, I'd be happy to have a 10 inch metal lathe and the tooling that goes with it! Needless to say I'd be interested in seeing this Pneumatic machine of yours! Truly, Capt Mike

Every so often someone shows up touting an Electric Machine that's going to change the world, only thing is these machines are like watching the History Of Flight, you know, those 1920's flying machines with flapping wings? None of them work :)
I'd say that everyone here would be interested in an Electric Machine, even at $500 IF it let you empty a 6 oz can of tobacco into a hopper, empty a box of 100 tubes into another hopper, walk away and come back in 5 minutes and have 5 packs of cigs ready to go!
Other than that, I think it would be better if all these 'inventors' changed their direction and concentrated on the Electric Machine that would turn a Hand Injector into an MP3 Player with Neon Lights (batteries OR power brick included :)

I never said I hate you or your guts. As you can tell from this thread and maybe a few other, I just get tired of BS after a while.

I am sure some or maybe many get tired of me as well. No problem either way.

Kerry, when I answered your post, I had just come home from the hospital, after my first shot of dilaudid (basicallly synthetic heroin), vicodin, and a couple xanax for good measure....hopefully Dave will leave this one a while before removing....they said I have a 50 mm stone which won't come out on it's own....I don't think/know if my medicaid will cover this, I am shaking in my shoes.....any rate no problem with us, at all, and please wish me luck....they just put another bandage of my cat where he needs constant watching

I personally think everybody who has posted here has had a "valid" something to say in one way or another

forums are difficult, and especially for me since I am such an open book
often times people will indeed be influenced or inspired by things and you won't ever know because there are no responses
this is _not_ an exclusive "members only" site, but I repeat myself that personal friendships can happen and it takes time and patience....
now speaking to freddie in particular, I totally got you, but can see where you were misperceived....I hope you will not fly away........
and finally, I find myself really really curious about the actual packing aspect of the Magnum, as it occurred to me that it may indeed outperform the matic's and eliminate tapping to a greater degree
and lastly, my first impression of the hopper pic was the same as others, it seemed a bit unclear, but then as I studied it I thought I was seeing all that needed to be seen, and decided it could be highly interesting to the forum owner, Dave Lers (his name, FTR)....hang tight
No.... no fingers.... My latest feeder is better and faster !! Even you sorry ass "know it all" would be impressed. In time you may figure out the basic design.... but the really good stuff.... no... not going to happen.
