Air Filtration Upgrade in Home Office :: General Pipe Smoking Discussion
Installed a Rabbit Air MinusA2 in my home office. This thing is fantastic! Barely enough time to notice the room note...

I fired up a Camacho 1962 Pre-Embargo. No worries, this unit keeps up with it. I can barely smell the cigar while I’m smoking it.
Do you have the unit mounted on a wall or is it freestanding?
It's a really nice unit. I wish I could convince my wife to let me smoke in our office if I mounted one on a wall.
I got one in response to living with cats and having a cat allergy. Also, sometimes forest fire smoke gets thick enough that you can hardly see a hundred yards. Problems solved. Haven't used it for smoking.
I use RabbitAir filtration systems in my smoking room, I can't remember the model numbers but they are great machines.
Easy (vacuum and rinse) upkeep and don't need to change filters every 3 months. Well, I guess that depends on how much you're puffing..

I have one of this. I was smoking in the garage with it. The garage is still smelly according to my kids and my wife.
yeah I find that from my experience with other filtration system it's more like a smoker can't smell the smoke in the room. Maybe these are different.
I have the RabbitAir in my office (freestanding) and a dual-fan exhaust fan in one window. My issue isn‘t the room itself. My wife doesn’t particularly care if the office has a pipish aroma—she doesn’t want to smell it outside the office. The fan does a decent job of pulling smoke outside, and the RabbitAir keeps the air that does wander back into the hall clean enough that she doesn’t complain. It does *not* clear the room while I’m smoking…just keeps the aroma fairly well contained. I also only smoke light blends and aros inside, so what does get out meets her approval—or at least tolerance.
Thank you for the reply. I have a small office ( 10ftx10ft ). I ordered the 780A model and I will be keeping the door shut with a towel under the door. It should work fine plus I have windows that I can open as well.
If you still get smoke smell going outside the room, you might try closing the door but leaving off the towel and opening a window. I found it creates a one-way air flow—especially with the exhaust fan in the window—whereas when I blocked off the door with a towel the smoke smell seemed to work its way through the air ducts (which I also close). YMMV
Let me see, there's something drastically wrong with this statement; "convince my wife to let me smoke" in my own home which I payed for.
*scratches head* Is that the 'secret' to a 'happy' marriage?
Probably explains why I'm happily single.
Mount one on a wall, smoke and then try convincing the wife ?
This close to dropping a rabbitair in my home office. 16' long by 5' wide (very long and rectangular), carpeted, with no ventilation whatsoever (no ductwork going to or from, no windows). It is also carpeted. Thoughts? I smoke mostly aros. North Missouri winter is not conducive to outside smoking. Would appreciate any input!
I don't use an air purifier because I have a ventilation system in my smoking room. But, if I was going to buy one I think I would look at something where you don't have to keep buying expensive filters all the time. Just a thought....
