How to modify the Powermatic 3 to operate with the door open allowing you to add an external hopper.
HK-3+ VS the PM3+ - which is better?
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 6 měsíci
Well, I just received both of them now I'm putting them against each other head to head side by side. we'll finally know which is the better machine.
"S" mode on the HK-3?

Nifty little feature of the Hawk-Matic HK-3. "S" is their fast mode. I call it speed mode. While it doesn't speed up the process substantially, it's still a good feature to have to shave off a little time.

The HK-1 Manual is a fantastic manual machine. The hydraulically assisted handle is a lot less strenuous.

This is an incredible machine by Hawk-Matic. Strong internal mechanism. I haven't had a jam yet.

Rolling cigarettes with an electric roller
why is the volume barely audible???...i had to turn up my 120 watt soundbar's [connected to my laptop] volume to near max just to be able to make out your commentary and when the youtube ad began to play sans any warning my speaker not only nearly blew up deafening me for a moment, it had to instantly wake all my neighbors up in my 20 apartment complex building at past 11pm... there's no subtitle option under your video so there's no alternative... wtf dude???... also, if you're trying to demonstrate how this machine works it's a fail because you didn't show the 'working' side of it while operating the hk3... i just purchased the hk3 based on several positive online reviews as an alternative to my powermatic 3+ which began to jam/malfunction continuously after only about 1,500 smokes filled, hopefully it'll be a long term improvement...
Maybe you should turn your volume up so people can hear or mAybe they don't want to
When you change the settings you must wait for the 2nd cigarette to see the difference because of the machine preloading.
The HK-3 is the most perfect design. The original PM series is an old model that has been made for a long time. The HK-3 has perfectly improved many shortcomings on the original style of the PM, so it is the most worth buying. I have nearly 15 years of experience in sales, and what I said is quite authoritative.
You need to clean out your powermatic 3. It shouldn't take that long to make a cigarette. It's grinding way too long.
It looks so cool and it sounds awesome. Its pure art!
WHAT IS THE MOSO "S" USED FOR?
My POWERMATIC 2+ is quieter and I'm able to inject tobacco into 10 filter tubes or half a pack in matter of ~5 minutes. I must say basically the upside of the Hawk-matic HK3 is that It injects tobacco into a filter tube at a very steady and consistent output. With the POWERMATIC 2+, I have to gauge the amount of tobacco I'm placing into the hopper for each and every cigarette. Too little tobacco the cigarette is NOT ideal for smoking.The cigarette will potentially flop. Too much tobacco into a filter tube would result in a hard to drag, a very firm smoking experience. The HK3 produces smokes at a very steady pace. Just place your tobacoo in the hopper, place filter tube on the lip of the machine and hit a button. ANYBODY has the ability to making cigarettes. Kinda of set and forget it. My POWERMATIC 2+ requires a little more labor. You have to use a semi assisted lever when inject tobacco into a filter tube. Nice thing about the POWERMATIC 2+ is the jam protection. Well engineered feature. What happens is if the rod senses too much tobacco or an overload of tobacco in the chamber, the rod will immediately retract. This is done to extend the longevity of the POWERMATIC 2+ machine. It truly whines when its struggling to much tobacco to fill a tube. Kinda funny to see it in action. You'll probably waste a few tubes every so often but you'll notice the saving within the first few weeks of using either machine. Talking about $1.75-2.00 a pack. Taste very close, sometimes better, than some reputable brand name cigarettes. Except They're charging 2-3 times more.
Do you usually sift through the tobacco and take out any stems before loading it into the machine?
Yes, as well as finger tear the strands into ½in segments to minimize cycling.
@@daltoncooper53 Okay cool, thank you for such a quick response!
hecha tabaco a la powermatic no solo a la hk-3 como no tiene tabaco a los 10 movimientos de las palas de la tolva en la pantalla te sale hooper
I just bought a hk3+ cause of your video..can't wait to start saving money. size was a big part.
ME GUSTA ESA MAQUINA MAS QUE LA POWERMATIC 3+,,PARECE MAS RAPIDA
no conocia la HK - 3 +...ME PARECE MAS RAPIDA
Does it need charging or something? I’ve had it few days and it’s worked great but now it won’t turn on out the blue
You sell this hopper?
How consistent is it packing the tobacco in the tube?
Turn the video upside down so we can see what your doing 😊
Just bought the Hawk-Matic HK3 manual and it is an absolute beast! Best machine I have ever used. I do 100mm and it does them perfect. It is a pleasure to use.
your video is very biased!
So you allow the Powermatic 3 to screw up and then end the video saying the advantage is with the hk3? Why don't you do a fair test my friend or just delete this video thank you.
The only thing the PM3 has going for it is the ability to be modified to allow for an external hopper. That's it. It's finicky and over priced for what it is.
The hawk-matic HK3+ undergone a change from the very first one to know prior it was identical to the Powermatic 3 now it has a feature so that you don't have to wait for compaction before the cigarette is created, the new one compacts after the previous cigarette is made. I am also of the belief it shows a small superiority over the pm3 now, however it still compacts a bit tighter than necessary on the lower level end the power supply should be 15 volts which is perfect how I use it! P.S. hoping to see their version of PM5 by the way if it means anything they said they were going to call me back on an issue and never did I have been told their customer service in plain English sucks.
Thank you, this video helped me decide which one to purchase because I didn't know which one I should get them being the 2 to choose from. The HK3 is much more affordable than the PM3 anyway.
The tobacco is not finely chopped. The powermatic3 has to remove the cigarette in two movements. One more detail. The Powematik3 does not work well with short tubes.
one comment, there are rubber springs behind the 2 buttons that come lose easily, watch for those..thanks for vid.
Just Getting into RYO using the PM3 and Good Stuff red. I notice frequent 'hopper' stops unless I either hand tear the tobacco before use, or run a batch thru the machine without tubes (to precondition the tobacco). Is there a good tobacco cutter I could use separately for this? Just to precondition the tobacco for perfect machine operation.
If you press and hold the reset button it will do short cigarettes without much tobacco being out tje end
Which one can pack the tightest cigarette so it burns longer? I think you can adjust density/fill on both. And which one works best for King size tubes? I just got into MYO cigs, and bought the cheap powermatic mini before investing in one of the big boys. I’m very pleased with the mini overall, my only real complaint, other than the time commitment (which is to be expected) is that it’s difficult to really pack a cigarette tight. Before making the change I was an American Spirit smoker, and loved the smoke time & density of their cigs. I feel like the pm mini makes a smoke that’s closer to like a camel or Marlboro type smoke. Thanks for your time.
Hawkmatic kinda packs the kings pretty tight because its made for 100s so its gonna overfill every cig. I smoke silver and just rolled my first few on setting 2/3 and im thinking 1 might be tight enough for what i smoke
Great Video. 👍
Nice Video. Thanks. Could you please post a link to where you purchased the device? It's unfortunately difficult to find something from Germany
Why do t you turn your volume up
Do you grind your tobacco? Our PM3+ was taking forever to make a cigarette until we found out that you should grind the tobacco before using it. This goes for every automatic cigarette injector. It runs like a champ now and is much faster. I just use a cheap food chopper and it works great. The only annoying thing is even with it set to "king", it still has a bunch of tobacco sticking out of the end of the tube when it fills it. That's the only thing that I'm still trying to figure out.
What seems to help mine is to lightly press on the filter end while it fills the tube. I don’t know why it works, but it does 👍🏻 Also, using a good ribbon cut like American Club fills better than that crappy shag cut like OHM uses now.
@@lordj81 we tried American Club and weren't fans of it, but we really like Kentucky Select. The Good Stuff was our favorite brand for a while, but their cut seems to be getting thinner and thinner these days. I've been grinding both brands and mixing them together and it's been working out pretty well. I do hold the filter end when it's injecting and it does help a bit, but we still always have tobacco hanging out the end. I might play around with different tubes to see if any of them will work better without changing the flavor too much.
i upgraded from the 2 to the 3 and love it, i sell cartons in my community and it speeds up the process big time
@@HonigDarts If you have Amazon in Germany, try there. That's where I got this one and the Powermatic 3+
Is the hopper size the same?
Which is smaller
Need speakers magnified 100 times to even hear what you saying.
i have the PM3 i can see why you say the hawk is faster but really i think either one is only as fast as you can put the tubes in place of course the longer you do it the faster you'll be on either machine. i can roll a carton in 45 minutes i think i can get to 35-40 min eventually
Does the Cigarette smoke well? Does cherry fallout easily?
Hawk Matic seems like the clear winner. Sad it doesn't get the attention like the PM3 does.
I got mine last night. I am thrilled with it but it came in so late I only rolled 120. I have the same tray you do. I used the little magnetic tray too. I found it real handy to catch all tobacco scraps.

Habeb die sark und die zorr
geil
what tobacco are you using on this machine ..
1839 Green
I just ordered one of these. They seem a lot better built than the old Top-O-Matics.
So that’s what a mode does. Mine just arrived yesterday and I was using it and reading the manual and seen s mode. I actually like the pause it gave the cigarette a second to fall and taking the tobacco off the end. I rolled 5 cigarettes and it was quick! I own the power Matic 2+ and this new machine cut the time in half and much easier. I used shift 1 and it’s packed the tube I can’t imagine how tighter the other 2 levels are. Great machine. I’ve saved a ton of money rolling my own. I usually buy 2 packs every 3 days at a cost of 22-24 dollars. 16 ounces is only 12-13 dollars. That’s legit 600 cigarettes that’s 3 cartons for 12-13 dollars compared to well over 300!
NO S mode on mine
barely can hear it, sorry
Yeah, I had my mic a little too far away I believe. I apologize for that.
I am somewhat interested in replacing my power matic 2 cigarette injector. I think I would like to try one like this, but I have doubts that, due to automation, it may not be able to pack the tobacco to my preferred consistency... I prefer them to be somewhat loose compared to factory, or mass produced cigarettes... What I was looking for that brought me here is advice for storing my tobacco to keep it at a consistent moisture. Sometimes I buy a 1lb bag and it is too fresh or damp. So I'll pull out a handful and let it sit overnight. But living in Florida, there are times when I'll wake up and it's even more moist! 😆 I need consistency.... I'm thinking of a humidor. But I want to see how other people deal with this
Hi, thanks for watching! I've heard of people nuking or even toasting their tobacco to dry it out. I would keep it in its original bag for sure, maybe just leave the bag open overnight. Shake It up in the morning, and give it a couple more hours. And this machine can roll it pretty loose. I got good strong drags off the 1 setting which I later learned was the loosest setting. I would definitely recommend it. They were on sale on Amazon not sure if they still are.
You could also spread it thin on a tray and set it in the window seal on a sunny day. Once you get it to your desired humidity/moisture, throw it back in the bag. It should stay fine. Unless you have an air tight container, which are widely available, the bag it came in is usually best. I keep my rolled up smokes in locking lid, sealed containers.
I have a lot of vids on this and other subjects suggest have a look at Powermatic 3
You can buy reusable silica packets that can be dried out by blasting them 10 secs in microwave and reused after theyve absorbed moisture
Just put a dry paper towel in the bag or container...... half of a full size sheet. I use Viva. Seems to do the best without falling apart or leaving dust. If the tobacco gets too dry (non florida residents.lol) put a small amount of water on the paper towel.Barely enough to know it's wet. If you can wring out any water, you used way too much. Tobacco will be good as new. My uncle uses a slice of an apple to rehydrate dried out tobacco. I prefer the paper towel method. Doesn't over hydrate or change the taste.
