Rabbit Air Minus A2 Update

[Road To Pines]

My office is 10ftx10ft and I bought the one that covers 815sq ft. It clears all the odor out overnight. I run it on turbo when I'm smoking and then cut it back to medium when the odor sensor light goes blue. By the next morning the odor is gone. I have 3 kids and a wife who can't stand smoke, so far no complaints.

That's encouraging. More testing necessary here.

BTW, do you use any other kind of exhaust, like a fan in the window?

Enjoy your nice, comfortable, sheltered, family-friendly smokes!

I crack the window sometimes if it's a nice day.

I watched a youtube video (I think) of Brian Levine's office system. It looked like it would do the job.

what's the electric bill been like?

We've had one in our 800sf condo for about four years now. We selected the filter pack for allergies primarily, then odors. We've replaced the pack once so far.


We like the unit a lot for keeping the air in our home fresher and less irritating to our sinuses. I've only used it to "eat" pipe smoke a couple of times when my wife was away for a week. In a space this size, it took a few days for the tobacco smell to fully dissapate although it dealt well with the volume of smoke during. In a smaller, more isolated room, I have no doubt it would work faster.

Why not use a vent fan? I just installed one in my smoking room.

You're just blowing conditioned (i.e. heated, cooled, filtered, whatever) air outside and causing your conditioning system to work harder to make more.

It's simpler and cheaper up front, but you're taxing the rest of the house and its attendant resources.

Glad to hear those work really well. I'm going to try and get into my forever home this year and with that am looking to set up a man cave area where I can smoke my pipes and watch movies and what not.

There is a heat vent but no return air vent as it’s in the basement. So slightly as you describe but not really. Do you have an air filter next to your shower or a vent in the ceiling?

there is no way a filter is equivalent to actually removing the smoke outside.

 

[chilllucky]

I wasn't suggesting equivalence. Exhausting the smokey air and filtering it are different strategies. Both have their pros and cons.

This is true. I guess I see a lot more positives running the vent outside. I wouldn’t mind running a filter as well.

I just bought a Levoit Core 300 air purifier for the 8' x 8' office I am in most of the time during the week. Cold here in MA and figured it will keep my youngest from complaining about the smell. I also occasionally run a ozone generating deoderizer that leaves a slightly artificial post-rainstorm type of smell and that seems to work ok. Smoking Haunted Bookshop.Big N Burley and latakia-heavy blends here and they tend to stick around. Hopefully this new one - rated for smaller spaces will help out with the continued occasional use of the ozone deoderizer.

That's my best case scenario when I finally move into a home. Redundancy and all that.

I have an IQAir Multi Gas. No, I did not pay the full $2,500 for it. I found it at a Goodwill for $30. It’s an awesome air filter, and it even makes the air smell better after running it for a while.

 

[Old School 3319]

Awesome that it’s working out! Smoking outside when it’s cold SUCKS. I live here in Georgia about an hour and 20 from Jacksonville Fl. It still gets down into the 20’s sometimes. Every winter my wife says “we need to move more souther” (she’s from eastern Kentucky)
Off topic, you said that you are a USAF vet? What did you do while in?

You live anywhere close to Yulee?

Yessir, about 1 hr away. Just north of Brunswick

I grew up between Yulee and Callahan

I've had one for years. I've had three guys in the room smoking cigars and by morning the smell is gone. Can't say enough about these things.
