Build a do-it-yourself air purifier for about $25


Recommended Posts

This works for about 30-40 minutes depending on how heavy the smoke is. Me and a buddy have tried this. Works amazingly but not for long. And you have to buy the allergen filters which cost $15-$20 so for 1 cigar you spend $30-$40. You can leave the filter on but the air flow will literally come to a complete halt within an hour with just 2 of us smoking.

Very interesting, I spent $150 on a smoke eater dammit!!!!!

Did u buy a commercial unit like they used to have in pubs and such before most of the world lost its damn mind? My plans are for a complete house reno so I want an indoor smoking area. I'm exploring my exhaust options

Hepa for the particulate in the smoke is fine but for odour Activated Charcoal is required to capture VOC 's .

I know it's not perfect and by NO means am I leaving this here but no smoke...VOC's I laugh at them! (joking of course)

Can you been in the room with these while operating? I've seen some ozone machines that say to only run when space unoccupied and allow space to clear/air out before being in room?
Thx

Well i'm not sure if you are or not, but I turn it on while i'm out there, it sits on the other side of the garage, so it's not a bad smell or doesn't bother me too much, I leave it on all night then in the morning I come in and turn it off, no smoke or smell.

Inside the house the problem I have is the air-return on my AC pulls air from every room in the house, and distributes it out to the rest of the house via the air exchanger. Each air return has a filter on it, but it doesn't stop the smoke smell from being circulated throughout the house.  

My garage is not cooled, which makes it useless as a smoking lounge down here in S. Florida. At least on my patio I have ceiling fans, natural air movement, and a view over my pool.

I have read that it is unhealthy to hang out in the room while the ionizer is running. You might be fine for now but be careful. Nothing wrong with running it after you are done though.

Well I did turn the ionizer off while I was out there last night, and just turned the other part on, then the ionizer on after I was finished until this morning......I did it that way, because it was quite strong.....I turned on the heater and machine for a couple of hours to get it ready before I started smoking....then walked out and was like holy hell!

 

The boy complained this morning about the smell as well...I told him it's either that or cigar smoke smell in the house heh

My daughter complained about the same and no amount of time or air purification helped. That is finally why I bought and set up the winter smoking lounge on the back patio. No smoke in either the house or garage now.
