smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

Purchased for stealth smoking and to avoid irritating others with strong-smelling smoke. Originally I considered the travel version but after reading reviews went with the original and Im glad I did! Its already a pretty small size and fits easily in my purse (though if youre a small purse person, Idk if this or the travel version would work for you or not). And since youre wondering: yes, IT WORKS! Both my husband and myself were impressed at how effective this was at diffusing smoke and eliminating smell. Very little scent/smoke lingers which is very important if youre an indoor or stealth smoker. It works MUCH better than the homemade versions and the price is right. All that remained is what was coming off of the pipe itself. I really cant believe weve gone years without this as we certainly plan to purchase more. Tips: - Shout out to Amazon Customer review on 8/17/16 for this tip: Pair it with some cotton balls on the inside to catch the nasty brown resin and it will last you 4x longer than expected without clogging the filter. - Be sure to put the lids back on when youre finished to preserve your Smoke Buddy. Leaving 4/5 stars for now -- will add a 5th star if it earns it after more use. (We dont use it at home much).

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.

These used to last a lot longer than a month! Lately the sbs I get have been only lasting a month and some get a funky odor. I realize its holding my lung exhaust and depending on what I ate or vaped, it could taint my filters since its only supposed to filter thc.. imo. I remember having a yellow sb and it lasted well over 6 months, maybe thats when you changed the formula, idk. All I know is its getting hard to find a good sploof like the original smokebuddy made in 08 because when I started smoking we didnt have these, used bounty sheets stuffed in a tp roll. I guess my consumption has gone up considerably since then and I medicate through a tall beaker bong. But Im about ready to get a 6 tent fan with a carbon filter and hang it in my room... by the time I buy 10 of these itll pay for itself... hope some of this helps.

Its great... It could be SO much better! First, I love the idea for the Keychainand caps. But, the first thing that surprised me is that this is a wiffleballe like structure with some kind of heat shrink over it to form the seal around the outside. Mostly it works, a little escapes around there if you blow hard at all. I dont know how it will hold up either, I hoped it would be solid and maybe I could keep some stuff inside it. And, I think I could but the caps are too loose. And thats the biggest problem, and the reason I cant give it 5 stars. Just fix the shit caps and seal the shell a bit, and Id give 5. But, that leaked smoke around the sides is Noooo Bueno! But, it does worktable out 90% of the smoke smell. So, I do like it and will buy more, just to be clear, I do like it.

I just started using the Smoke Buddy a couple of days ago, but so far Im really pleased. Hubby and I are both smokers, so Ive been trying to find a way to reduce smoke smell and dust in our home. This definitely will help. When you exhale smoke into it, nothing comes out the other end, the filter captures everything. I can see where having to repurchase them frequently might be a pain, but its so effective that I think I will keep buying them. Not sure what Ill do with the large collection of key chains over time, lol :). Pros: Eliminates all exhaled smoke entirely. Thats a HUGE pro. It works exactly as described. Cons so far: 1) You have to exhale the smoke pretty hard to get it to go through the filter, something to get used to but not a huge issue. 2) Hubby has a goatee and mustache. He reports that for him he cant get a good seal around his mouth due to this, so quite a bit of smoke leaks out around the edges, and as a result he probably will not use one often if at all. 3) Frequent replacement for heavy smokers expected. I would LOVE to see a version of this that allows the user to replace filter cartridges rather than having to replace the entire thing.

I really really wish they had a bundle deal for these on Amazon. Getting these locally is way more, but sometimes you don’t have a choice. Not sure where whoever is reading this is located, but this is a great deal and I always try my hardest to get these off Amazon vs locally. No, It’s not gonna magically hide the smell of SMOKE. BUT! It will help reduce the amount 80-90% when used properly.

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.

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.

They do work, they dont last very long, maybe a month if most of youre smoking involves the Smokebuddy. For me I only use it at night, Im the only one who uses and I probably smoke 2-4 bowls before packing it away and I go through 1 in perhaps 2 months. Youll know when its used up because the Smokebuddy will no longer hold the smoke inside. I use this product in conjunction with other methods like, opening the window, positioning a fan toward the window, and of course putting a rolled up towel under the door. My roommates have never once mentioned my smoking and my room doesnt have the tell-tale skunky aroma. Just an FYI though, this product is innefective if you smoke a joint or blunt. Obviously.

It’s important to be discreet while smoking your cannabis, otherwise some scumbag is going to ask to join you without chipping in
