The Best Joint Roller: Top 10 Rolling Machines Reviewed [2019]

If you haven’t learned how to roll joints yet, it doesn’t mean you can’t burn one down.

You just have to go about it in a different way.

You need the best joint roller, if you want to smoke joints that aren’t crap.

We’ve all smoked terribly rolled joints, and nobody wants that.

Today, I’ll show you why you should use a joint roller, how to use a joint roller to roll joints and which joint rollers are the best (and which ones you should avoid).

Quick Top 5 Best Joint Roller:

What is a Joint Roller Machine?

The best joint rolling machine is a gift from the stoner gods.

While those that can roll sure make it look easy, it’s not something everyone is good at at.

In fact, most people roll god awful joints.

They run, they’re uneven or way to tight to smoke.

Joint rollers take all of the rolling out of your hands, and into a machine that will spit out a perfect joint for when the moment strikes you.

There are quite a few different designs that you’ll come across once you start shopping.

Is any style better than the others?

It’s hard to say.

You’ll see that there are a ton of new and innovative joint rollers, but you also see that most are based off the same design.

This common style that features a skirt you load and spin is the tried and true method, that, if you’re just learning, I recommend you go with.

Let’s take a look at how to use a joint roller before we dive into the joint roller reviews.

How to Use a Joint Rolling Machine

Using a joint roller is easy.

If it wasn’t, you might as well just learn to roll, no?

Anyways, all you’re going to need is the roller, a paper and some ground up cannabis.

Quick rundown on how to use a joint roller:

• Pull open the roller and push the skirt down with your finger
• Fill the roller with your cannabis
• Close the joint roller and roll the skirt back and forth a few times. Make sure not to roll it too tight or it won’t smoke.
• Next, place the paper with the gum side facing you and start to roll the roller down
• Lick the gum on the paper and roll the roller downwards

If you want to get a good look at the process, you can watch this video to see it in action.

You can trust that the brand behind the best joint papers would come up with the best joint roller, right?

Well, yeah.

In fact, three out of the top ten spots are held by RAW.

The RAW Hemp Eco is perfect for rolling any sized paper—even kingsize papers.

The roller is made from hemp and small enough to carry with you on the go.

You can get it by itself, or you can get the bundle deal RAW offers with two packs of their papers and a rolling tray.

The skirt is a double thick vinyl that’s strong and easy to turn.

The oldest is still one of the best.

The standard joint roller from RAW is anything but standard.

Made to roll king size papers, this joint roller is easy to use and rolls some great joints.

A lot of joint rollers are junk.

With this one, you know you’re getting probably the most popular joint roller of all time so you can trust it won’t be money wasted.

The skirt might be a little stiff in the beginning, but after a few joints in the books, it stays down well while you load it.

Now, just because you don’t know how to roll joints (not judging), doesn’t mean you can’t spice up your joint life with some variety.

This joint roller is in fact a “cone filler”.

This roller is designed to effortlessly fill up a pre-rolled RAW cone

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to fill a cone before, but it’s no fun at all.

If you want to smoke cones, without all the mess, you’ll love this cone shooter.

If you love cones, you'll love this roller—it's the best cone roller after all!

I love seeing a company innovate and try new things, but if this feels a little on the gimmicky side.

It’s not as big as the other RAW joint rollers, only 70mm vs 110mm, so don’t expect to use kingsize papers.

What sets this one apart, though, is it can roll two different sizes of joint.

It can switch back and forth between a regular and “skinny” mode.

I personally, wouldn’t ever have need for a skinny mode, but it’s still a great roller overall.

I know you’re probably looking at this and saying, “There’s no way that thing is a joint roller.”

Trust me, I don’t blame you.

This may not be your typical joint roller, but it doesn’t roll your typical joints either.

It’s a three-in-one tool that rolls your cones, fills them and stuffs them too.

You can watch how it’s done right below.

It works with any papers and is super easy to use.

Another kind of joint roller type that you don’t see often, but it’s one of the best.

It’s a lot easier to use than an skirt model—just load and go essentially.

If this roller could roll you perfect joints every time, then it sounds like a no brainer, right?

Well, lucky for us it does.

It can fit up to a king size paper, but be warned.

You need a lot of marijuana to fill this roller if  you want it to roll great joints.

I could honestly do without the Tommy Chong picture, though.

Zig Zag’s Joint Roller is a traditional style roller with an skirt.

It’s made from clear plastic, which I don’t find as aesthetically pleasing as the RAW joint rollers.

It does roll a good joint, though.

Like other with this style, it’s easy to use and pretty durable.

Not a lot of moving parts and a quality skirt so you can expect it to last quite some time.

With this model you need to be cautious of rolling your joints too tight.

Play around with how tight you roll to find what works the best.

Plus, it’s big enough to roll up to king size papers.

You can't beat this deal.

After all, what good is a roller without some papers?

You get the Element Roller plus a couple of packs of their fan favorite rice papers.

What I love the most about this roller is that they include a second skirt for the roller just in case the first wears out.

The joints roll good and it’s easy to use.

Plus, with all the extras you get it’s hard to believe this one ranked so low.

If you love smoking flavored joints, then I imagine you know Juicy Jays all too well.

These guys put out every flavor of joint you can imagine, so it’s not surprising to see them take a stab at a joint roller too.

This roller is huge—it’s can even be used to roll blunts—and rolls a pretty tight joint, so you have to be careful.

It’s a very basic plastic roller that doesn’t have the most high-quality vibe to it.

With a price comparable to a RAW or a Zig Zag, it just doesn’t make sense to go with this one unless you’re a huge fan of Juicy Jays.

Here at ten we find ourselves with another out of the box design.

It not only rolls joints, but it also acts as a carrying case for your bud.

It’s pretty cool too.

You just fill the paper up and close the top.

Then a nicely packed joint pops out of the top of the box.

It’s not as large as we’d like to see—but I can see how it would be too bulky if it rolled anything larger.

Seems the quality can be hit or miss.

And what I don’t like is the lack of control you have over the joint.

With other types you’re able to really customize the size, weight and tightness of a joint.

The automatic roll does everything, well, automatically.

You can get an electric roller, but we think this is the best automatic joint roller and way better then the electric versions.
