Default Re: Indoor Smoking:

-- Update --

Just wanted to give an update on the Minusa2

I used it last night. Throw a towel at the base of my door.
Knowing I should building something to get a better seel later on

With that said, I lit up a cigar and watch a tv show on the next flix.

The cigar lasted about an hour.
The minus2 did a good job and clearing the smoke for sure.
I used a mason jar as an ashtray so that I can cap it when I was done.

Well, I was wishfully thinking, and glad I didn't buy it myself, but the morning after about 8-10hrs, I could smell ash in the room still.

I now have the unit running on high for 3-4hrs no and on chat with Rabbitair to seem what they say.. again wishful thinking.

I know venting the room should be what you do, but it's to dame hot and expensive to cool things down here in Los Angeles. I'm not Mr money bucks. I even have solar panels installed in a month to save money. $1k DWP bills are no joke.

Side note I do need to seel my door a bit more. The smell did escape the room to the house as expected.

Any tips of getting rid of the smell when accidents happen are welcome,


Seeing I didn't spend money on the filter I still have a few I can throw at ventilation I guess

Any suggestions on ventilation, I may look into something but may have to go through the wall outside. Not sure the best way of doing with fan, etc..

Suggestions for window ventilation?

Don't freak out the smell will go away in day or so. You will notice a difference with a wind fan.
Here is a link to some of the better ones, but you need to measure you wind to get one that fits good.

Thanks for that..
The surprise or "Freak out" the following morning was real, especially from the wife

This was all wishful thinking. It's just way to hot during the summer especially with all my computer equipment to think about having the window open during the day. Maybe a slight chance at night but takes the whole if I want one now while working out of play.

The thought of a 1hr cigar taking 2 days to go back to normal is hard to believe lol.

SideNote: My windows are side by side windows and the office window is facing the front of the house so it's not something I really want to leave in. Letting someone have the idea they can break into the house through that window

Thoughts on throwing in small hyper fan at the window when I decided to smoke?

Also don't want a huge amount of noise. Filter, fan etc.. 95% of the time while working in on zoom with other people. either remote productions or meetings.

Can I just place the fan and kinda close the window on it and pull it when not in use. ie do I have to board up the window area around the area left open?

Thanks for talking through this with me guys. It really helps.
