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.
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.
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!
