Tubes

Has anyone found, or even tried to find a menthol tube 6.5? I can find menthol tubes, but not slim, and I can find the slim cigarette injector. Unfortunately no one carries the slim tube in "menthol." I do realize the problem is there isn't a market for them to make that for, as most female smokers have not discovered rolling their own. Sad for me. I think this discovery is the best thing I have ever found, based solely on the money savings. It's really incredible. The only thing to make it better would be having the exact cigarette I want. I have found what I believe to be a great tobacco, and almost identical to the Virginia Slims. Ky Best Menthol, pipe tobacco. You know, maybe I don't need the menthol filter, if my tobacco is menthol already, why would I need that? Anyone know?

Hi All,
I'm searching for a tube made with a non acetate filter. I'd actually prefer a minimalist filter (more of a space holder for the injection machine). Have found a company that makes a filter (Essantra) but the min order is 2.5 mil and they don't make the tubes, nor will they tell me to whom they sell these particular filters. Confident that they exist just can't find them. Much thanks in advance if anyone has any related info.

My wife and I use Gambler tube cut gold filters they work for us we like them, and have been using them to roll since last August. However, recently we have noticed that instead of the normal two ring filters we usually get we are getting the same exact box with the same exact markings and getting filters in those boxes with just one ring. These filters seem to be slightly lighter and it bugs the crap out of us. These are not the same filters as the two ring version, and they provide a slightly different lighter flavor. How can we be getting two different varieties of filter from the same box? Trust me we have to check the boxes ahead of time at the tobacco shop before we buy now. They do come from the same boxes. Can anyone shed any light on why?

Here's a story.................. having just got into leaf [I roll my own] and being delighted with the results I figured I'd get a tube machine and some tubes for my partner who smokes straights/readymade. Cheap MYO machine and Rizla tubes was a brilliant success, but it was obvious that the tubes have saltpetre or some other fast burn agent in them. So as much research as possible and no real information on any tubes WITHOUT saltpetre. Mascotte tubes get good reviews and as we're in England availability was good [Ebay] So I contact Mascotte and ask DIRECTLY if their tubes contain saltpetre - their reply was that the tubes contain only natural ingredients. I ask again, DIRECTLY, for assurance that there is NO saltpetre or similar used - they reply that their last answer covered it, "only natural materials used" I actually ask again for a statement that there is NO burn agent used, such as saltpetre - no reply. I buy some Mascotte, do a test by touching an empty tube with a lit cigarette - the tube is gone in 5 seconds! This thing would work as a fuse! If anything Rizla burn slightly slower. Same test on Mascotte organic rolling paper and it barely catches light, then goes out. So my point is twofold, firstly does anyone produce truly additive free tubes? and secondly since Mascotte do such excellent organic papers [and filters] please email them and ask them to produce organic tubes. The whole point of RYO/SYO is that we can have the freedom to smoke what we want, without added chemicals if we so choose, companies such as Mascotte not being open about additives is just as bad as the big tobacco companies tricks. Thanks for reading and looking forward to your thoughts, Ali in England

Okay, so I have an older (maybe 18 months old now) Top-O-Matic. I use Kentucky Choice pipe tobacco in the blue bag (light) with Zen tubes. My wife uses the blue 100s, I use the green 100s.

When making the cigarettes, I have recently started having MAJOR issues with the menthol tubes. As in, a solid 40% of them fail to properly fill all the way. I have no such problems making my wife's cigarettes. Her's fill properly. I use the same amount of tobacco, same force on the handle, same everything....except the tubes are different, of course.

Thinking maybe it was a bad batch of Zen menthol tubes, I picked up a box of Premier menthol 100s. Same problem.

My question, of course, is what the crap? I never had a problem before making menthol 100s, and still don't have an issue making the blue 100s for my wife (maybe 1 tube out of 50 fails on hers). What might be the issue? And how can it be fixed?

Thanks in advance. Replies can go here or to my email (minizilla30@gmail.com).
