hi there,

i've recently started rolling my own with an injector machine. i've been looking all over for some tubes that dont look so generic. i used to smoke capris and parliaments but they are now between 7 and 8 dollars a pack which is just outrageous. i'd like to find some tubes that have some aesthetic appeal. right now i'm using zen 100mm and a gambler hand injector.

does anyone know of any tubes that are a little fancier looking than what seems to be commonly available? it seems like there are only 8 or 10 brands of tubes and they all look pretty much alike. im looking for something in 100mm.

also, has anyone seen injectors or tubes for 120mm? or superslim tubes like capris or virginia slims superslims?

thanks!

The 'neatest' tubes you will find look wise are Vera Cruz
I do not think they come in 100's - but they are so cool - why would you need 100's Smile

I like the midnight tube - very sleek looking, excellent filter (very light 20mm)
Strangers will ask you what you are smoking - also good brand for sneaking a smoke where you shouldn't - it doesn't look like a cigarette (just saying)


The Nocturne is very classy, for me the taste imparts a cardboard flavor - but I may have received a bad batch- others like it

cool, i wasnt aware that vera cruz had black tubes. i thought they were only brown and i didnt want my smokes looking like little stogies Laughing

its a shame there isnt more variety out there but i guess there is just no market for it at this point.

thanks, i will definitely try the VC midnights. any tips on where to get them? i have been looking but havent found anyone online who seems to actually carry these right now.

Bec's Accessories has them - and they are on sale - they are more expensive than a regular tube, but for special occasions or something different- they fit the bill...

The Ramback Elites, kind of a light tube in that it has a longer high density filter, look nice (and work well). They are a high quality, class act. The longer filter length also makes for easier stuffing (less or no filter gaps that require tapping/packing).



Also priced right here.
