smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

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 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 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.

I get these often and they are usually good but this one didn’t work at all. It doesn’t seem like it even reduces the smoke that just flows straight through. SAD!

Dont listen to the bad reviews... Its almost funny to read these bad comments. I have had about 5 or 6 of these miracle things! I only had a problem with one of them that came cracked and charcoal coming out. Probably got damaged in shipping. These things last a long time! Some times up to 1 year even under heavy use. What I have found is that eventually moisture gets trapped in there and that over (long) time kill the life of the product. Ive seen people put it in the microwave to resolve that issue but from my experience it doesnt help much and it could just ruin it completely. What I recommend to get the most life out of your smoke buddy is when not in use, put common silica packets inside where you blow smoke and cap it. I wish this product was invented a few years back when I really needed to be stealthy. Hope this helps!

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.

Ive tried pretty much all of the personal air filters on offer from reputable retailers on Amazon and Smoke Buddys product is simply the best option. Like any filter, it only has a certain lifespan and that will be reduced if youre a heavy smoker. That being said Smoke Buddys filter has the best longevity of those Ive tried, not to mention performs among the best at actually neutralizing odors and reducing visible smoke exhaust. The biggest complaint Ive heard is that this product doesnt compare well to homemade alternatives produced much cheaper. I cant argue with those complaints from a value perspective, but I happily purchase the Smoke Buddy because it looks a little more subtle than a toilet paper roll and is exceptionally effective at eliminating odors. If you want to maximize the life of your personal air filter, there is an empty chamber at the top of the filter that can easily be stuffed with a dryer sheet or even extra cheap surgical masks people may have lying around. You can essentially make a budget prefilter that in my experience multiplies the life of your Smoke Buddy by a factor of 3-4x.

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

Cuts down the smoke really well!

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
