smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

I have been using these for the last 4 years and they are great for anyone who doesnt want the smell of smoke to linger in your apartment or room. Also great to use in situations where suitemates or roommates dont smoke. 10/10

We all know why we are buying this, to hide the smell of... legal herbs. Well, I promise that this product can achieve just that! I have been smoking through it for about a month now, ZERO SMELL! No smoke comes out the opposite end, and neither does the smell. The only, very incredibly small gripe I have is that it can be a little hard to create a perfect seal on the low end, so sometimes a little whisp can escape. This is, of course, is a nonissue if you have a fan or a can of compressed air. Also, recommend a room air purifier for any smoke that may come from the smoking device/product itself.

This thing is great, does what it says it’ll do. Keep in mind whatever your smoking will emit smoke and odors as well. The Smoke Buddy is perfect for the exhale buts that’s it. Update 4/25/2020 Ok, so after some serious smoking since 4/20 I have to update my review. I hit my trees hard and I smoke all day and the Smoke Buddy works to a point. I take fat hits and blow fat clouds and the Standard Size Smoke Buddy isn’t big enough for a man of my size. I’m going to purchase the Smoke Buddy XL because I’m confident it’ll handle larger hits. This thing is still amazing though!

After using a Smokebuddy Junior for years and it working perfectly, I thought Id just move up to a regular full size one. But it doesnt work as well for me. The mouth hole is pretty big, I have a hard time making a seal, I dont have a very big mouth. The area between the mouth hole and the filter is 1.25 with a diameter of 2.5 - its a pretty large area, so when you exhale through it, once you get to the end of the exhale and sit it down, the volume of that area is still full of unfiltered smoke that sort of drifts out and is still enough to smell. I have tried to take hits where I inhale the smoke and then remember to inhale regular air afterward, so that when I blow through it, the last of my exhale is just air, but it doesnt seem to work that way, it all blends together inside your lungs. I didnt have these issues with the Smokebuddy Junior. The empty area outside the filter was much smaller and so was the mouth hole. So I spent more on this one but use it less. Should have stuck to the smaller one.

These things are amazing! Takes care of the smell better than anything else ever could. When blowing a large cloud of vapor through this and it completely disappeared after going through. If smoking a bowl though, be aware of the additional smoke that will come from the bowl when you are finished breathing from the pipe. To combat this, simply put a finger over the bowl piece to cut off oxygen and extinguish smoke. The smoke buddy works best with concentrates for this reason IMO. I have been using this in a household of non smokers mostly with concentrates but occasionally with herb as well and nobody has the slightest idea of my smoking habit! The little key chain doll was a cool little addition but unfortunately that broke within half an hour of receiving it but im not going to hold that against the product because this is a review of the smoke buddy product itself. Some smell builds up in the filter so make sure to keep the filter caps so this thing doesnt start to reek! Also, be sure to make a nice seal around your mouth when blowing through the smokebuddy so that smoke cant escape from being filtered.

I believe it really helps with scent and smoke reduction but don’t go and think you can use it in your room without people in your house still noticing. The presence and source of the smell will always reek and fill the space. I’d say they last few months with daily moderate use.

Honestly, I see where you’re coming from with the toilet paper roll/dryer sheet setup. If it’s working, cool, but this doesn’t just filter the smoke thru a dryer sheet and make it smell like Downey. It literally traps the smoke, the smell, the actual smoke goes into this thing and nothing but clean air comes out. It’s not disguised toxins that your kids and animals still will take in their bodies secondhand. I don’t know about others, but when I’m mislead into thinking something is … say healthy, but it’s really not… I’m not cool with it. I don’t care to be mislead at all, ever really. I can only assume to treat others with the same regard, even if they happen to be naive to the fact. This filter actually keeps the toxins out of the air, hence off your walls and furniture, and away from your loved ones who may not care to inhale smoke by choice. A joint isn’t a great candidate for this thing because it continues to emit smoke, neither is a cigarette. A pipe or a bong is probably what your aim would be here. Idk just have some respect for people and pets. just because you choose to smoke doesn’t mean you need to force feed others your choice smoking habits. It’s toxic and it leaves residue on everything in the room you smoke in. I’m sure smoking once isn’t going to produce much buildup, but maybe you smoke oftentimes somewhere. The residue doesn’t miraculously change once it’s put thru your lungs, it still has toxic properties. Ask your old bong with the nasty buildup, go ahead and scrape off the resin or whatever, and eat it if you think it’s so untoxic. Your cats lick their paws and clean themselves. Your kids put their hands in their mouths and that much won’t change because you smoke. I’d really recommend this filter in particular. I’ve tried other brands of filters but they don’t seem to work nearly as well as this one does for some reason. That said, The only thing I’ve found it that It’s hard to impose on people to use this sometimes, Ive struggled with that. It’s a little obtrusive. 100% worth it for me, 10% recommended by my guests.

It filters quite well, both the smoke and scent. Lightweight and easy to carry around, yet very sturdy. The flashlight keychain it came with was really cute. You have to press on the face quite hard to make it light up.

As an older guy, Im heading into a retirement apartment and since Ive been living in houses for decades, I knew I was going to need to look for something to at least seriously mask the smell of the pungent goods I am used to. Its legal here, but Im not looking to irritate anyone but myself. I read a bunch of reviews first, and settled on trying the Smoke Buddy. I read about some folks trouble as well as its benefits. What I want to share is that the Smoke Body works. Its unbelievable how well it works. Ive now tried the unit with several leafy goods, each more pungent than the previous. No smoke, and no scent. The only trouble I had was not the Buddys fault, but with my not exhaling 100 PCT. into the unit. You really have to be sure you blow out every last bit of smoke into the Buddy for it to be thoroughly effective and produce a completely smokeless, and odorless toke. Along with burning essential oils in an atomizer, there is no longer scent of any kind, though it would certainly be wise to cover your bowl between tokes to ensure you stay scentless, if thats a consideration. Ive read that one potential problem for some would be the size of the mouth piece. You want a truly tight seal to make the unit work, and that mouth piece is a full 1 1/2 inch in diameter. That sounds small, but is larger than it sounds. I havent had it long enough to speak to its longevity. I do recommend reading all the reviews to learn about drying the unit, and its reported longevity. Once again, the Smoke Buddy works. I dont review too often, but the Smoke Buddy gets my vote. Heres an update. Searching online informed that by carefully layering paper toweling into the intake chamber, you can extend the life of your Buddy. Ive done this and with each paper towel change the odor is also removed from the intake chamber. Also after heavy use theres been literally no smell of any kind from the exhaust chamber. Im a fan.

I was unsure about purchasing but i love it.
