smokebuddy Air Filter, Original

I loved this so much. I had no idea this was a throw away smoke aid. After a few sessions it stopped working. I didnt know it would only work a few days to a week. It says on the package that it lasts a bunch of sessions, but mine didnt last that long at all. I would of bought more if I knew. It is extremely helpful. No smoke. But it does fill up quick and then theres no way to keep it working once its used up. I love it but it did suck not knowing it wouldnt last long. N wasnt prepared for smoke all over when I went to exhale into it. It is just a temporary fix for smoke.

Cant exhale smoke and let on your smoking? Or smoking around an asthmatic friend? Exhale into this filter to nearly eliminate second hand smoke in the air around you.. I use it indoors when smoking my medical MJ, so my room doesnt smell skunky.. For a daily smoker like myself, this lasts about 6 months..

Forget your home-made laundry-sheet sploofs, elaborate fan systems, towels under the door, plastic bag over the fire alarm. Youre a grown person now. Welcome yourself to the 21st century with this simple but useful (damn near essential for some people) tool for the smoker of all persuasions. Whether you vape, combust, tobacco, or otherwise, if you blow it out the Buddy, the clouds get sent straight to heaven, where it belongs. The smoke/vapor is just GONE. How long this last you depends on how you use it. Vapers can have it last for quite awhile. The Buddy really shines when you combust though, because those thick, ashy clouds really get filtered into pure air. No odor, nothing. This wont last you as long as vaping. You know its spent when it starts getting heavy resistance when you blow through. Ive read some stuff online about reactivating it by microwaving it...just dont do it. Not only does it not work, you get a funky smell and its never the same after. Just get you a new one. PS. If you can, get the one with the the keychain fella. Its dope.

This thing works absolutely as advertised and if you do it correctly (i.e. make sure you get all smoke in the lungs in one go with none escaping) and you make sure you have a good mouth seal around the hole, and you make sure to replace the caps quickly, then there is absolutely no smell. The only reason Im giving it 4 points instead of 5 is that the rim of the hole is quite roughly cut plastic and is consequently a little sharp and irritating. Im sure youve probably experienced sharp edges of plastic in cheap toys, etc. Not the most tactile experience. Not to the point where youd stop using it, but it is the one bummer aspect of the product and so deserves a little slap, especially as it wouldnt be that hard for them to add one more little step to the manufacturing process and smooth the mouth end down.

The Smoke Buddy is great if you dont plan on using it very often. The handheld filter is about the size of a baseball and works extremely well to capture exhaled smoke by completely removing any smell. It is a bit more straining than simply exhaling to push the exhaled smoke through the filter, so be prepared for a bit of effort. While it does exactly what it is intended to, it cannot be used by a frequent smoker or long term. According to the Smoke Buddy website, the full-sized product will only last for about 300 uses. So, if you smoke a pack a day, youll get about 6 weeks out of it. Unfortunately, this was not listed anywhere in the description for the product and I only discovered this after the device became nearly impossible to blow smoke through. Furthermore, the filter is not washable. Long story short: if you plan on purchasing something as a long-lasting filter, dont buy the Smoke Buddy.

I feel like I would not buy this again long term just to how much waste this makes if I am replacing it every few months. Otherwise It works well - I can smoke my weed pen inside without anyone else knowing. It is also nice for when I am in public areas where I want to be considerate of others. 8/10 product, minus 2 for the amount of landfill waste this generates when your filter is used up.

Clogs fast and need to get replaced to soon.

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.

They do work, they dont last very long, maybe a month if most of youre smoking involves the Smokebuddy. For me I only use it at night, Im the only one who uses and I probably smoke 2-4 bowls before packing it away and I go through 1 in perhaps 2 months. Youll know when its used up because the Smokebuddy will no longer hold the smoke inside. I use this product in conjunction with other methods like, opening the window, positioning a fan toward the window, and of course putting a rolled up towel under the door. My roommates have never once mentioned my smoking and my room doesnt have the tell-tale skunky aroma. Just an FYI though, this product is innefective if you smoke a joint or blunt. Obviously.

When blowing into the smoke buddy it does eliminate the smoke which is its job, at the same time as your smoking smoke still escapes so there’s always still gonna be a smell regardless of if you’re blowing it in there, but it will be less potent.
