smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

I love it. No more secondhand smoke!

This product is a great product! It allows me to smoke without the lingering scent that typically leads to complaints from neighbors (I live in an apartment complex). They’re great at eliminating any smoke and any bit of a lingering scent is very easy to clear up and not strong at all. I smoke daily so on average I’d say they last about a month-month and 1/2. They mask the scent less as the filter begins to go out so it’s pretty easy to tell when it’s time for a replacement. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to smoke indoors without lingering smoke/scent.

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.

This thing is pretty magical. It does what it says its guna do. After after about 2 weeks of daily use it will not let me blow through it anymore. That stinks. Either way, it works.

I really didnt believe this was going to work.... until I did and I havent stopped using it since. NO smoke comes out, very, very light odor (that honestly I cant smell but my husband does) and I can take it anywhere. Highly recommend.

Not 100% smell free but about as close as you are going to get. Definitely works, has a quality feel. It does not work nearly as long as I would like it to (except for dabs) and it seems to get harder to blow though the closer to it gets being done but I mostly recommend it for: hotboxing a car, smoking in the garage when when its raining, and sneaking a toke in a public or restricted area. Not a device I will buy once a week because its expensive and it feels more natural to breath straight out anyways but for anybody who has occassional needs for reducing the smell of their herb of choice. But again I must stress that if you are using this soley to smoke instead of vaporize you arent going to get that many sessions put of it. Use it for dabbing inside and emergency smoking situations. Also get your moneys worth and dont bother with the smoke buddy jr unless you really need something that small because this one is only a few bucks more but 3 to 5 times the capacity of the mini version. Damn this review turned to a rant. Sue me.

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.

I am amazed at how well this product actually works. If you exhale smoke into it, you don’t really see any smoke come out of the other end. Nearly eliminates order from smoke and completely eliminates odor from vaping. Still ought to use an exhaust hand if you live with people sensitive to smell and certainly if you live with children. Also, make sure you get a good seal between the device and your lips to avoid leakage.

There is somewhat of a design flaw with this product which makes it a less-than-perfect solution for containing smoke. The issue is that the mouthpiece, or the end where you blow the smoke into, is not directly connected to the filter itself. This empty space between your mouth and the filter fills up with smoke (obviously) but that smoke never reaches the filter so when you move the device away from your mouth, the smoke just escapes from the device without ever having been filtered. It isn’t a lot of smoke, but it’s enough smoke to be detectable, especially if you are using it multiple times in one sitting. I tried to blow as hard as I could into the device to “force” that last bit of smoke into the filter, but it didn’t work. This actually made things messy because apparently when I was exhaling as hard as I could, I was also blowing saliva into the device or something, because it eventually became so filled with drool that it was leaking out the other end. Gross! Anyways, this product is pretty useful for the most part, it definitely helped immensely to keep the room somewhat free of smoke, but I’d sit next to an open window just to be sure. If you’re looking for something 100% effective, this isn’t it. But if 98% effective is sufficient enough for your needs, buy it.

Cuts down the smoke really well!
