Air Purification

[Vitola]

I’ve just completed a log cabin build and installed a 7” extractor as part of the build. I use a Blueair 230 slimline purifier with smoketop filter it runs 24x7 (much cheaper than Rabbit) and the extractor runs whilst I smoke. I then run an effusion lamp (Lampe Berger) for 15- 20 minutes afterwards - no trace of stale tobacco remains

Ugly as sin but with a bit of tarting up, this would be a good option?

used for growing "plants" indoors and some really, really stink!

i was just looking at the rabbit filters as were about to start the process of a new kitchen and had filtration in mind. i think the above link is technically better? just ugly!

the bigger ones for larger spaces are cheaper than the rabbit and would only need to be running for a short time. install in a cupboard and use as and when.

thoughts?

I tried that but driving with the window open in my car tended to blow the scented candle out.

That's a good one!

Well, the simplest things do work the best most of the time. If an open window and a scented candle doesn't do the trick for someone nothing else will probably do it. Just stick to outdoor smoking then.

It does the trick for me, but I'm not bothered if a little scent remains after smoking a cigar.

Like Peejay I just use an extractor fan built into the window in the conservatory, couple this with another slightly open window to replace the extracted air and this does most of the work. I febreeze the sofa afterwards and leave the fan running and this seems to do the job for me. The sofa covers all come off for a wash a few times a year aswell but mainly because I drop ash all over them.

This is it tbh I think you need an ozone machine to rid furnishings of odour and a purifier for pulling smoke in as you are smoking . Imho

For what its worth here's my sixpence worth. In the cabin I have an extractor fan on whilst I smoke with a couple of little fans to keep the air circulating. When I've finished I light a wax melt burner with an eight hour tea light under it and leave the fans on for an extra hour. This will clear all the smoke but the cabin will still smell. If its damp out and the cabin humidity is high then I use a free standing dehumidifier, not some crappy desktop thing but a three foot high mains powered unit which has a silver ioniser in it. That clears the smoke smell completely and leaves the cabin smelling faintly metallic. It won't work is you have soft furnishing or curtains which will hold onto the smoke particles. That's why cigar lounges have leather chairs.

You'd also come up with the pencil as a solution for writing in zero gravity
Simple and works.

Having said that there's nothing wrong with chaps coming up with more technical based solutions as who doesn't like that feeling of engineering creativity .

I think I will pass on the overhead canopy but it did make me laugh . I?m sure there must be an air purifier that works as well as rabbit air but doesn?t involve a kings ransom

Having watched his video he?s had a pretty good go at it albeit without the fresh air and heat recovery element. To get a perfect setup, indoors it unfortunately would cost a lot (I work in interior fit-out so have a fairly good grasp on what?s needed). In short, extract with heat recovery and fresh air through the heat recovery system. That way you get the smoke out and nice fresh warm air back in. Would work best if it was an isolated room with a negative pressure to ensure no smoke travels elsewhere. HVAC a whole new world of expense, especially in the UK and a pain in the arse to retrofit. If I had the money though that?s the route I?d go. No I wonder if any of the subbies we use would do a deal...[emoji23]

As long as the outdoor heating is good enough, all you need is shelter...

There has to be an alternative that works as well and is cheaper

There is, but...
