A step by step tutorial on how to use & clean our Smoking System
To open the Brass Container Push on the inside piece at the curved notch at one end of the container, sliding out the inside section. To close the Brass Container Make sure the curved notch is on the bottom far end of the inside section.
To close the Brass Container Make sure the curved notch is on the bottom far end of the inside section. Use as a carrying case You can use the sliding brass container to hold The AXIS 2000 and two hand rolled cigarettes.
The container will protect both The AXIS 2000 and your cigarettes from damage and will also prevent any tobacco smell from entering your surroundings.
Place one or two cigarettes inside the container and place the AXIS 2000 in between them before sliding on the outside of the container.
You can also put out a lit cigarette by closing it in the Brass Container while it’s still burning. It will go out quickly due to the lack of air.
Use the spring clip on top of the AXIS 2000 to open up the non-burning end of your cigarette. Insert the AXIS 2000 into the end of the cigarette and squeeze the spring clip together spreading apart the paper end. Continue until the paper end is large enough to fit over the end of the brass tubing that is below the clip.
Light your cigarette and draw the smoke from the back end of the AXIS 2000. You will find the smoke will be cooler and less irritating to your throat, enabling you to smoke all the tobacco in your cigarette without waste. All that will be left when you are finished is a small amount of paper around the outside of the brass tubing and the paper that is held by the clip
After using your AXIS 2000 a number of times, some resin from the tobacco will build up inside the brass tubing. Please follow the instructions below to easily clean the inside of tubing so that it will keep from clogging and you can enjoy it’s use for many years.
Take the cleaning rod supplied with your AXIS 2000 and push it through the tubing. When it protrudes from the other side, use a paper towel (so you don’t get your hands dirty), and grab the rod and pull it through and out.
You can easily clean the cleaning rod and the ends of the AXIS 2000 by using a small amount of solvent like rubbing alcohol, denatured alcohol, or even vodka (though there are better uses for vodka than this).
If you have trouble cleaning The AXIS 2000:
If the inside of the AXIS 2000 tube gets so clogged with resin, you have trouble passing the cleaning rod through it, try using a straight length of coat-hanger wire. It’s a little smaller than our cleaning rod and will easily push out anything that is clogging the tube, especially if you use alcohol with it. You will find that if you keep your tobacco well humidified, it will burn slower with more smoke and the tobacco will not be drawn into the brass tubing, so you will have to clean the AXIS 2000 less often.
Step 1:
Lift the knobs on each side of the Rolling Machine and bring the front movable roller to the front open position.
Step 2:
Place your smoke into the webbing and roughly distribute it evenly, but keep it away from the little brass projection on the right-hand side. (This projection will leave a space at the end of your finished cigarette where you can insert the tube of your AXIS 2000 Roach clip as you finish smoking your cigarette)
Step 3:
Lift the knobs up and over and drop the rollers into the closed position.
Step 4:
Now roll the webbing, pushing the front rollers downward. It only takes a few turns. (Note that both the back and front roller rotate in the same direction. Also note that you can’t use the knobs to rotate the webbing. The knobs are only for lifting and moving the front roller, not for rotating the roller to move the webbing.)
Step 5:
Take a rolling paper, glue-edge up and facing towards you, and put it into the space between the rollers, pushing it down as far as it will go.
Step 6:
Now slowly roll the webbing exactly as you did before and it will draw the paper into the rollers until there is just a little bit of the paper still sticking out especially the part with the glue on it. Wet the glue.
You can also wet the glue before you put the paper into the rolling machine. Now continue rolling as before, pushing downward on the front roller a few times. If you want a tighter cigarette, put a little drag on the back roller as you roll the paper in.
If you do that, the webbing will squeeze the tobacco tighter as it rolls the paper in.
Step 7:
Wait a few moments for the glue to dry.
You can use this time to clean up anything that fell into the trays and put it all back into your storage container. You should always keep your tobacco humid so we recommend you take a deep breath and breathe the humid air from your lungs into your storage container as you close it up and seal it. If you do this every time, it adds just the right amount of humidity to keep your smoke from drying out.
Step 8:
Now continue rolling as before, pushing downward on the front roller a few times. If you want a tighter cigarette, put a little drag on the back roller as you roll the paper in. If you do that, the webbing will squeeze the tobacco tighter as it rolls the paper in. You can now remove your perfectly rolled cigarette by lifting the knobs and moving the roller to the open position. To remove your perfectly rolled cigarette, push down on the left side of the front roller while pushing backward on the left side of the back roller, stretching the webbing so that it lifts up the left side of the cigarette. Gently lift out the cigarette while pulling it off of the small projection on the right side of the rolling Machine. You will notice the indent at the fight end of your cigarette that can be used to insert a filter or the AXIS 2000 Smoking Clip.
