How to Use an Element Roller

An element roller lets you save money by rolling your own cigarettes. While many people, especially those in Europe, handroll their own cigarettes, the roller does the dirty work for you, allowing you to make perfectly rolled cigarettes each time. This will help you cut down on costs, as you will be able to make your tobacco go much further by using your own materials instead of purchasing carton after carton.

Things You'll Need

Element roller
Tobacco
Rolling paper

Instructions

- 1
  Pull out the amount of tobacco you usually like to smoke and lay it on a flat surface.
- 2
  Put the roller on a flat surface and place your forefinger between the two rollers so that the built-in paper on the rollers is now between them.
- 3
  Push the tobacco into the indentation between the rollers.
- 4
  Close the element roller. If the roller has indentations to "lock" the rollers in place, put them into the grooves.
- 5
  Roll the tobacco. Push down toward yourself with your thumbs and up toward yourself with your index fingers. Roll for one full revolution. Some element rollers will be marked so you can tell when you have made one full revolution.
- 6
  Place the rolling paper into the element roller by inserting one side of the rectangle between the rollers.
- 7
  Continue rolling the element roller toward yourself by pushing down with your thumbs and up with your index fingers. Stop when there is a little bit of paper sticking out.
- 8
  Lick the edge of paper to make it adhere to itself and continue rolling until there is no paper left outside the roller.
- 9
  Open the rollers.
