Hi, I'm new to this site, and would like to say a big hello to y'all from the UK. There's some great advice on here, so I thought I might share as well.
After years of trying EVERY way of disguising and removing smells, (citrus magic - too citrussy and attacks paint/rubber, onagel - smells like a toilet, incense - smells like you're trying to hide the smell of weed, ozone machines - health issues and coughing, vapourizers - feel like an idiot sucking on a bag and not getting high at the end of it, blowing the smoke through a kitchen roll tube stuffed with tumble dryer freshener sheets - works crap and doesn't deal with smoke coming off the joint etc etc ), I have finally found the solution.
I bought an air purifier from IQ air. This is no ordinary purifier, it has 4 huge carbon filters with socks on plus pre filters and HEPA filters, it's Hospital grade. Its designed for smoke, particles and fumes. You can spray perfume in a room and put the machine on, in less than half an hour, you just cannot smell a thing, and it's perfect for weed and smoke. Its a bit big standing at 76cm high and 40cm wide, but you need the space for the massive filters.
It's not cheap either - around £1000 or $1000 in the US, but it's the best investment I have made, hopefully money well spent to avoid getting busted. I live in a well built up neighbourhood, plus I don't want the kids affected, and this is a perfect solution. These are even better than the air purifiers that allergy sufferers use, so that would make a good excuse to use if people ask. For a small room, you could get away with something slightly smaller, but it's all about how much air the fan can move in a certain time, and of course carbon and HEPA filters to catch all the particles. There are only about 4-5 companies that make adequate smoke particle removers 99% of air purifiers wont do the job, and IQ air is the best and most expensive. You could make one easily though. just attach a variable speed inline fan to a big carbon filter and hey presto. For stealth, you could even mount it all in a a fake bedside cabinet. I dunno why I didn't think of that before shelling out a grand!
Anyway if anyone has any good, and cheaper ways to completely eliminate smoke smells, let us know!
Best wishes everyone!
