smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

Lightweight, convenient, no smell gets out. Great gift for any smokers you may know!

Been using buddies for months and usually they last more than a week but lately they’ve been coming in defective and pasting two days

Works well with dry herb vaporizer, and leaves next to no scent. The toughest part was preventing any vapor from escaping around the mouth piece. Ive used this multiple times in a room without a complaint from someone I know that is sensitive to the smell. They were none the wiser.

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 usually smoke at home or in the office. My old setup for getting smoke out was to take a rectangular piece of plexiglass and have a cutout in it to fit my little 6 inch desk fan and use it as a window fan. I got one in my office, and one at home. This works, but still fills the room with the smell of burnt tobacco. Just got the smokebuddy and decided to have a long 2hr smoke. What I had was a Gurkha 7x52 cigar. Heres the pros & cons: PROS: - lightweight - small - gets rid of most of the burnt tobacco odor. - comes with caps. Id imagine after using it many times, itd start to smell, the caps will keep the smells contained. CONS: - you need to use your face to make a tight seal on the smokebuddy, or else smoke will leak. - gotta blow hard, as if you are trying to inflate an air mattress with your lungs. - I got really lightheaded after taking a few exhales through the smokebuddy, not even 1/3 of the way into my smoke, and I was quite nauseous from blowing so hard on the smokebuddy to get it to filter out all the smoke. - filter can not be replaced. once its clogged, you need to buy a new one. Thing for the company to improve on: - have an o-ring/gasket on the exhale end aka where you put you mouth in end - have a looser pack of filter material, can be a thicker pack, just not as tight - change the product so itll take exchangeable cartridges, Id rather small packs of filters than $20 smokebuddies one after another. ======= Overall, for the price, its worth the buy. Ill still be using my fan setup because the smokebuddy does not take care of all the smoke, and the occasional leak from not shoving my face against it. Blowing through this thing, is really annoying, and I stopped using it all together half-way into my 7 cigar. I wasnt getting lightheaded from the nicotine, but instead from the smoke filter. It works, but needs improvements.

Helps to reduce smells significantly, just wish the filter was changeable.

The price and color

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.

It works

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.
