smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

The price and color

I smoke pretty much all day every day. We stayed at a very nice hotel in a legal state. I smoked sun up to sundown all four days. The room didn’t smell, and we weren’t billed for some bologna cleaning fee. I will buy one every time I travel.

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!

Am not expressed.

I dont smoke cigarettes so I cant review how it works for that but for vaping it works very well. Im not a cloud chaser but I still exhale a decent amount of vapor, 0.2 ohm coil at 45watts on a dual battery mod. Some vapor will escape the device a tiny bit when you pull it away from your mouth but it is a very small amount and dissipates almost immediately, majority of the vapor goes into the device and disappears. After a few times using it youll get some condensation drops on the outside of the filter but its easy to wipe up or leave the lid off to let it dry on its own. If you need to stealth vape in a bathroom at work, a hotel or public place youll find this thing super handy. Tip: Both end caps need to be off for it to work. Im not always a smart woman, it took me a couple puffs to figure out both caps have to come off this thing. At first I thought it was impossible to blow through it.

Its not perfect, you cant smoke a joint or pipe inside and expect it to not smell at all. The smoke rising from the joint or pipe wont be caught. You CAN pack yourself a one hitter and if you clear it, you wont have any smoke from that and youll be able to blow it all through the Smoke Buddy. Tip: there is a little area between where you put your lips and the start of the filter. When you take your mouth off, it will be released into the air and not through the filter. If you remember this, breathe out through the Smoke Buddy, breathe in through your nose, and then out again through your Smoke Buddy and all of the smoke inside will go through.

Bought this when my bestie and I got an airbnb and it works just fine

I can’t say how much this thing is a life saver. I’ve been using oil cause of low odor but resulting in a ruined tolerance. I decided to give this popular “sploof” brand a try and wow I’m impressed. You really can’t tell any smoke happened inside. This little product honestly saved my apartment life. And helped my tolerance. My last Smoke Buddy was the large one and worked super well and lasted forever. I noticed it got difficult to breathe through and then purchased this normal sized blue one. For a $12-$15 item, this really saves much more than that in personal belongings and rental deposits! My guide on how to dupe people that you’re smoke free is to use “snappers” or one-hit bowls. That way, each time you empty the bowl, it shouldn’t be smoking since all the plant matter is burned up in one hit. Empty the bowl and blow into the Smoke Buddy.

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.

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.
