What is the approximate lifespan of an electric cigarette injector?
An automatic cigarette machine can last for many years. However, it mainly depends on the usage, and of course proper maintenance and care. This will be decisive on how long an automatic cigarette machine will actually work.
What care is required to get the best performance out of my Powerfiller electric cigarette injector for many years to come?
To extend the life of your electric cigarette machine and improve the results of making your own cigarettes, the first thing you should do is use high quality expanded tobacco (volume tobacco). We recommend using established brands that everyone knows.
Can I use other types of tobacco offered in my usual tobacco store?
If you use other types of tobacco, such as roll-your-own tobacco, with very long and fine fibres specifically designed for rolling with paper, you will not achieve the necessary volume and flexibility that you could with expanded tobacco. Moreover, these fine fibres can break off during the injection process, creating residues that can clog your electric cigarette machine in the long run.
On the other hand, if you use fine cut tobacco, you already have a much smaller cut that contains many more small pieces (as the name implies). This tobacco can be used with practically all cigarette injectors. However, you will then have a much higher density in the tobacco filling of your cigarettes, which will make them harder and the combustion will not be optimal. In addition, the motor of your electric cigarette injector must provide extra power to work with this type of tobacco, which, over years, can shorten the life of your device.
Exactly why should you use expanded tobacco?
Expanded tobacco (volume tobacco) has a length and width that is ideal for use with electric cigarette injectors. The volume of this tobacco is perfect for the optimal injection of your cigarettes. The better the quality of your expanded tobacco, the less waste will be released during the process and the less time and effort you will have to invest in the maintenance of your Powerfiller electric cigarette injector. All you should do is clean your machine from time to time using the cleaning tools provided within the scope of delivery.
What kind of lifespan can I expect from my Powerfiller electric cigarette injector if I take good care of it?
With proper use, good care and regular cleaning, these devices have a lifespan of many years. An analogy that can help us to better estimate the life expectancy of our Powerfiller electric injectors is the comparison with a car. Here it is not only the age that matters, but also the mileage and the care that the device has received over the years play a decisive role.
It can happen that two neighbours buy the same car on the same day and one has a car for life and the other's car stops running after a few years.
Obviously, it makes a difference if you use your automatic cigarette injection machine to make 1 pack of cigarettes a day or if you want your machine to produce 20 packs daily. But if you keep up a good cleaning and maintenance routine, your Powerfiller electric cigarette injector can last for many, many years despite intensive use.
