These are the ones Starwood hotels use. Hope that helps out.

I like that unit and might just get one. Funny though how at 9 lbs its dimensions are so small (0.00 L. 0.00 W. 0.00 H)

I use an ioniac-pro Jr for the man cave. Bought for $99 online. Between that and an exhaust fan you cant tell i smoke in there.

dwoodward · 01-18-2011, 10:50 PM

I will definitely invest in one of these by winter next year.

I haven't had a cigar in months. I am starting to twitch.

I would be sure to leave a window open after running a unit. The jury is still out on whether ozone purifiers can be harmful. Depends on how much ozone the machine is generating.

I think I already said this but the pure ozone these things generate isn't good for you at all. You really shouldn't be in a room while these are running. Also air out the room after it has ran for a good few hours. You'll probably realize this when you get a headache and start to feel dizzy.

I have sat in my basement with my machine running for hours at a time and never had any ill effects.
I can get away with smoking a cigar with it off and then turning it on when I'm done, but if I'm having more than 1 or have a few buddies over and we are all smoking, I turn it on and let it run to appease the wife.
None, of my buddies ever complained either.

Also be wary of the power of suggestion.
If someone tells you such and such will give you a headache then it most likely will.
I have seen a bunch of blind tests, where people were told that their food contained MSG but didn't actually have any they all got headaches, while the people who actually had the MSG and were told otherwise, suffered no effects.

Just to update

My wife was out of town for the weekend and for the first time I took to smoking in the living room instead of the basement.
I burned 4 cigars during a movie marathon Saturday night and a PC Sunday morning.
Finished it at about 8:45 am ran the machine for about 30 -40 min and when she got home at noon, she was none the wiser

brave man
pretty much a do or die experiment

When I'm done smoking, i set the exhaust to run for 60 mins, then let the Csonka run overnight. Been doing this for over a year and so far it's good enough for her. In the a.m. I usually run the exhaust for 10 mins and turn off the Csonka to clear it out.

Bill86 · 02-21-2011, 01:30 PM

Youll be fine in a whole basement. You're right Dom I should have been more clear. What I meant was in a small room say 12x12 or under the smell can be quite potent. My experiences with these units only bothered me in small rooms specifically hotel rooms. Also it takes quite a while for the ozone smell to be in all parts of the room. A large room might take longer than you're smoking time in the room so you might not be bothered by it.

688sonarmen · 02-21-2011, 01:32 PM

Good information here, I was going to chalk up my loss for the man-cave in the garage but it looks like between some fans and an Ozone generator it may be possible. A good resource I have found is craigslist, lots of units up for sale in my area, maybe yours as well.

Wharf Rat · 02-21-2011, 07:01 PM

Here's lots of info: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

I think the bottom line is that ozone is an effective deodorizer. But, the concentrations needed for real deodorization can have health consequences. So, its best to run it when you're not there.

I'm bringing this one back from the dead. I did a search on air purifiers and this one seemed like the most traffic.

I was at the shop last night and was looking though the latest issue of Cigar Press, and came across an advertisement for Lightning Air

http://lightningair.com/

The price isn't too terrible, but still a little high. I went onto Google and typed in lightning air to see if any cigar groups have discussed it....the 1st thing that popped up was Amazon of course that showed this:

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Choice-Pr...66DS7NVDW3DZ9G

For a much better price, I also seen the original LA with an initial $129 or something with an Amazon card and pay off the rest in 6 months or something.

357 you said you have this one.......is it still working for you?

Dom.....still using yours?

Anyway, I do not smoke in my house, only in my garage or deck. I was looking at this for the garage for the winter, so I could keep the garage door down without the wife *****ing about the smoke seeping into the house. I also have allergies, and this states it's ideal for people with allergies and what not.

Anyone have any experience with these? Is one better than the other?

Glad you brought it back, Mickey. We've used HEPA filters for years (about 25) because of allergies, but have been thinking more along the lines of one of these for the wet dog smells. Like you, I do not smoke in the house, but in the winter it is in the garage it the wind is up.

I have been talking to the owner of the doggie day care that we use and he has some very good ones that also seem to keep down dander and such, but the costs are quite high.

As a result, I am watching this thread again to see what people are using and their results. Plus, I have a room that I'd like to convert to a smoking room if I can get away with it (next to the guest room, so odor is a big deal).

My parents had one that I used. It worked great but did eventually fail after 5-8 years of use. I am definitely considering buying one for myself now that I own my own home.

Yes, Mickey, I still use mine. However, now that I have a dedicated cigar room I don't need to run it every time I smoke.
I really don't care if my cigar room smells like cigars.

I just turn it on to freshen it up a bit.
I run it about once a month in the winter and about once every 6 weeks in the warmer months.

Nice! Thanks for the update

Adam....another update?

Will probably pull the plug on one in a few weeks.

Well, I just ordered one, thanks for the link Mickey. With Winter here and not only smoking in the apartment but having the fireplace going as well it can get a bit smokey even with the large sliding glass door open. This should be a good test of the unit's effectiveness, I did standard shipping so I'll be sure to post a review in a week or so when it arrives.
