smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

The Smoke Buddy is great if you dont plan on using it very often. The handheld filter is about the size of a baseball and works extremely well to capture exhaled smoke by completely removing any smell. It is a bit more straining than simply exhaling to push the exhaled smoke through the filter, so be prepared for a bit of effort. While it does exactly what it is intended to, it cannot be used by a frequent smoker or long term. According to the Smoke Buddy website, the full-sized product will only last for about 300 uses. So, if you smoke a pack a day, youll get about 6 weeks out of it. Unfortunately, this was not listed anywhere in the description for the product and I only discovered this after the device became nearly impossible to blow smoke through. Furthermore, the filter is not washable. Long story short: if you plan on purchasing something as a long-lasting filter, dont buy the Smoke Buddy.

This product is seriously amazing!! I live in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow smoking and with this I can pack snaps and blow all the smoke into it and NOTHING seriously nothing comes out. If you’re thinking about getting this just BUY IT it’s worth the money trust me

Not only is there no odor when you use the smoke buddy-- there is no smoke at all!! Its great for using in hotels and stalls, etc.

Compared to the Sploofy brand these are a great deal and do seem to last a good but longer to the Sploofy. I am a daily smoker and one tends to last me between 1 and 2 weeks depending on my overall frequency of usage. My one complaint is the packaging and silly little key chain that is included. I would think they could be offered cheaper if the packaging was modified to be more eco and cost friendly and do away with the silly keychain.

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.

I was very skeptical if this would actually work. Have no doubts, it really works, and works well. If it starts to act clogged up leave the lid off of it for 24 hours and it will be like brand new. No clue why that works, but it does!

If there was directions to wash out or if it was a little cheaper it would be worth the money, but having to buy one every 3-4 months at $18 is a little pricey. If only it were about $13.99 or had an option to buy 2 for $25-30. Otherwise, works well for how long it does work. perfect to buy and go to a hotel or something similar.

I didnt know what to expect, the claims seemed too good to be true. I am sooo happy with my purchase. This thing is amazing. Its been getting colder outside and I live with a non smoker, she has no idea that Ive been cheating and smoking in my room. I open the window, hold my hand outside for the smoke coming off the end, and when I exhale I dont have to worry about anything blowing back in. I will be ordering more.

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.

Worked the first time I used it, now its like all the smoke comes out the other end. The reason Im leaving a review is because I have the exact same one in black & it works perfectly I just needed a second one. This one is disappointing every time I use it .
