Suggestions for Air Purifier (No Ozone)

Title edited for caps and brevity. Rule 9- Portion removed:

"for infrequent inside smoking"

I moved this to its own thread. Realizing that smoking inside is going to have some residual smells left I am hoping to "slow" that build up as much as possible. As I am getting older I find winter is feeling colder to me so was considering smoking inside this winter. I only smoke 1-3 bowls a week. I am looking for suggestions for a purifier (no ozone) that will eliminate (as much as possible) pipe smoke and odor in a small room. For those of you that use them how effective have you found it to be and which one do you use? (I searched these forums but all that comes up are either pipe filters or topics not addressing this as specifically as I would like. If there is a thread out there I would like to know the title so I can look it up!) Thanks

You are not going to have a lot of luck looking for a non-ozone purifier. Maybe a fart fan or an attic fan if you have access to the roof. Lampe bergere are effective also.

I bought the rabbit air purifier from previous recommendations on this sight . It is nice looking and does a decent job , but my wife said it still smelled and please quit smoking in the house , which I accommodated

that is the thing it might help but not as much as we are thinking it does.

Thing is smoke gets attached onto surfaces, especially fabrics.
No air purifier can deal with that.
I sometimes go round my lounge where I smoke with a large hand-held fan and fan all the surfaces, making sure that I get behind pictures on the wall and behind cupboards etc.
It does make a difference, but the smell will not go entirely.

I use a Conway 400 and my wife says it does quite well.

In other words, your just blowing smoke. ??

Please use standard English, and no all bolded,

only way is to vent it out. Do you have a vent fan over your stove? If I smoke upstairs I turn it on and smoke by it. Takes the smoke right outside.

That spray bottle of 'sh*t' they use of fabrics works quite well I am reliably informed. Given my diet of beans on toast, pickled onions, red beet eggs etc the smoke smell is by far the least of the household issues that spring to mind!

I have a Rabbit Air MinusA2, and it does a fantastic job. In my home office, the square footage allows for the air purifier to do better than four air changes/hr. There may be some residual smoky smell (very little), but even if you have an exhaust fan you are going to have that, unless the whole side of the room is an exhaust fan, like a wind tunnel.

Perhaps she just doesn't want you smoking in the house...

My wife used to bitch about my smoking soon after we got married. I ignored her. She used to complain in front of her fashion PC friends about my smoking. I responded by giving live demonstrations of my pyro-flatulence skills. They stopped coming over to the house. My wife stopped complaining about my smoking. Problem solved!

I use a window fan that you can either blow air in the room or draw the air out of the room. I smoke in our sun room with the window fan drawing the smoke out. I set fairly near the window so the smoke leaves quickly. The room seldom smells of smoke when I am finished. If it does I burn a scented candle.

This one is inexpensive and has numerous good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08131HFSG/?tag=cb-071289-20

Rabbit Air owner here. It does help but you can still smell it if you haven't been in the house for a while.

I suggest smoking cannabis in the house and suddenly the wife won't smell pipe tobacco anymore.

"You smoking weed again?!?!?!"

No honey, just cleaning an old pipe I got off ebay. The previous user must have smoked cannabis with it.

"Good heavens that stuff smells terrible, I would rather smell a pipe!"

OK, if you insist......

Short of a commercial smoke eater, you're not going to get perfect. Maybe 90% but there's still going to be at least a slight smoke smell to a non smoker.

I want any recommendations including commercial. So if you know of any toss their name out. I know they will be pricey.

I don't know brands, Google it. I'm talking about a unit that mounts to the ceiling and would exhaust through the roof.

Got it

I understand you don't want ozone units but this is what I do. When smoking inside I am in a closed room with the (ozone) purifier on but with the ozone function off. When done I turn on the ozone function for about 30 min and leave the room (locked). Then I stop the purifier and I put a window two blade fan blowing air in for about 30 min and then in exchange mode (one blade blowing in and one blade blowing out) for a couple of hours. Being in southern California I can do so also in the winter and there is no detectable smoke smell at all.

Members of my household are sensitive to smoke and perfumes, so I keep my home as neutral as practical. I’d need a way to effectively move all smoke out, or else particles and resins would stick to surfaces. Therefore I only smoke outside.
