smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

So this thing does exactly what its designed to do. You blow smoke into it, and you cant smell much coming out. Theres still a little smell if youre smoking up in a small room, but thats mostly due to the product itself and not the smoke youre exhaling. Although I did notice after about a month of semi-regular use (a few times a week.) it started getting this really nasty smell. Now lets be honest, thats probably from my own munchie breath blowing into the thing constantly, but I was surprised at how quickly an odor formed. I left the caps off - as some of the other reviews said, but it still formed an odor. Theres really no washing instructions, so I tried spraying a tiny bit of air freshener in there to see if it helped freshen it. (I waited until it was fully dry to use it.) but it still had a weird funk. HOWEVER, It is still filtering smoke just fine. So a month of semi regular use, and it still gets the job done, but has a weird funk. For $11, I feel I got good use out of it.

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).

I had doubts,however this thing works great.Way way way better than tissue roll and dryer sheets.I also burn scented wax melts.So there is no smell at all.

Our Smoke Buddies DEFINITELY get put through the wringer. We are daily users and were a bit worried buying the SB off of Amazon instead of in-store, because of occasional counterfeit/damaged/used items. Turns out that the product is legit and lasted the same amount of time (usually 1-2 weeks) before needing to give it a break (smoke seeping through.) I’d say buying the SB from Amazon is definitely a better option than going in person, the prices are usually jacked up in smoke shops.

This device delivers good value for the money. While it doesnt completely eliminate odors (i.e., it is unlikely that youd be able to smoke indoors undetected), it does a pretty good job.

I just bought my SECOND one, same item & seller! THIS is an AMAZING product! No matter what you exhale into it... almost NOTHING comes out and what little does has NO smell whatsoever! I am impressed totally! Im going to buy one of these for each of my friends for Christmas! A great gift for any kind of smoker! I actually used a hot glue gun to connect my old one to my new one, using my OLD one first. I added a toilet paper tube & stuffed it with used fabric softener sheets to the front/intake. :~) After checking for leaks, i have confirmed that almost nothing recognizable smelling comes out no matter what you exhale into it. When I buy a third one, Ill add it to the bottom of the stack! :~) I recommend the product and seller! I paid full advertised price and received nothing for this review. PS - You can tell how used it is by shaking it close to your ear. After more use the charcoal pieces dont sound as loose. Just an FYI.

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.

I like this better than its main competitor Sploofy because the Smoke Buddy lasts forever. When it finally seems dead you can microwave it for 5-10 seconds and let it cool down and it works again. This trick eventually stops working though. I ended up just making my own with activated carbon and a soda bottle because it was cheaper than buying these products again.You can find activated carbon in the fish supplies aisle of many stores. To make one cut some slits or make some holes in the bottle of the bottle. Stuff a paper towel into the bottom to cover the openings you just made. Pour your activated carbon(avoid the very fine powder, it will blow out the bottom) into the bottle and stop a few inches from the top. Stuff paper towels into the top to prevent the carbon from falling out. Take your hit and blow it into the bottle from the top and you will get a clean smell out the other end. If you have issues with it working well then adjust how compacted the carbon is until it works for you.

owning a bar means i have likely the worst schedule for sleeping possible. consequently i smoke before going to bed so i can sleep. my wife hates the smell of smoke almost as much as i do but as its a necessary evil such is life. it isnt an issue when its warm but during the winter months here in colorado we often get so cold that the windows freeze shut. no more going outside to smoke this really does what its advertized to do. no noticeable odor and it just keeps on working. noted the tip from another reviewer who made mention of placing a fabric softner sheet over the mouth end, actually a half sheet will do just fine. in doing so you greatly increase how long the smoke buddy will last as the sheet catches a lot of heavier tars exhaled instead allowing them to muck up the insides ending its usefullness sooner rather than later, and it doesnt impede airflow one bit.

Got this for my medical pot-head husband he used to used empty toilet paper roll with dryer sheets then switch for a Gatorade empty bottle and fill it with a bunch of dryer sheets it both works, but 1 its too bulky and the other well its paper so it runs out quickly soooo I looked for something a little nicer looking thing and of course smaller but same effectiveness... And found this smoke buddy 1- it does works 2-we still use the dryer sheets in it (for longer lifetime of happiness) 3-house doesnt smell like weed yay!!! 4- and its a nicer looking smoke trapper
