Air Purification

[pootana]

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

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.

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.

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

That's a good one!

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’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

Very interesting. I already use the Lampe Berger, but I find that some tobacco smell still hangs around for a few days (some marcas more then others, actually) which is why I'm really tempted to go for a Blueair, probably the 605. However, at the moment I can't install an extractor, and I'm wondering if an open window might be enough to help circulate the air - of course it won't help that much with the actual smoke extraction. Anybody else had success with the "Blueair while smoking" + "Lampe Berger after" combo?

I think the extraction element is key in a combination with purifiers. The 6? extractor in my room size of 16 sq metres changes the air in the room about 5 times every hour

You're most likely right, the extractor is an important part of the equation. It's gonna be a pain to get an extractor installed in my home office, though.

Thread bump here as I’m getting a 6m x 4m TUIN cabin soon that I’m going to use as a cigar lounge / office.

Vitola - a couple of questions please:

1) - Do you have any images of this setup
2) - Was it the Blueair 203 that you have please as can’t see any reference to a 230 model?
3) - Do you have to sit right next to the extractor / Blueair for it to work please? I only ask as on all the YT videos for the Rabbit purifier they claim it is awesome but they are pretty much holding their cigar next to the unit !!!

Vitola's set up is the bee's knees & I'll be asking for updated tips, when I finally get a summer house/man cave of my own. It's interesting that several of the houses we have looked at, already have outside offices ect so it'll be a choice whether to adapt someones previous ideal - to mine or start from scratch

gav_sw20 Hi mate,

I'll post some images of the set up I use, essentially the following works for me:-

I have a 7" extractor fan which is situated high up along the wall opposite the entrance - I switch this on every time I smoke. it changes the air volume in the cabin 4 times an hour

For general purification I use a Blueair 203 (apologies for typo previously) with smokestop which is situated on the floor just inside entrance - the exhaust fan pointing towards extractor - I tend to just leave this on 24*7 in low mode and switch it to either of the higher speeds whilst smoking.

I also sometime use a Lamper Berger - mainly for occasional purification and it leaves a nice clean subtle scent in the air.

The device that really kills off any remnant of stale cigar odour - is an Ozone O3 generator. I use one of these, (link below) took a bit of a punt on this one really, but they damn well work! Leaves a really pleasant clean air smell in the room (that same smell you get in the air after a thunderstorm). Just make sure no one is in the room when you run it, as high ozone concentrations are damaging to your lungs when breathed in - they advise you can safely enter a room after one hour when the manual cycle finishes. When I lock up the cabin for the night, I usually leave it on for a one hour manual cycle - there is absolutely zero trace of bad odour next morning

'Humanized operation mode'. So that'll be manual.

Ah fantastic. Thanks for the image and notes on where everything is. I didn’t treatise those ozone things even existed.

You look to have lots of fabric-based stuff in there so if you can clear the smell and smoke from a room like that then I should be fine as I’m looking at leather tub chairs.

Toting it all up and it’s not that expensive really either.

The only other addition was for heating. Although I have an oil heater just by the Blueair, I also put in an all-in-one air conditioner, which is situated to the right of the doorway. Helps not only in keeping the place warm in winter, but keeps the place so cool in summer. Bit pricey but worth it in my opinion
