Winter Smoking - Air Cleaners

Post by BootCampBob »

Just wondering what everyone does during the winter months, when it's difficult to get a nice day to smoke outside.
Is there a preferred air cleaner / filter for removing smoke from indoor areas? I hear the Csonka's work well, but don't hold up well over time.
Aside from candles, fans and opening windows, does anyone have recommendations on a good air filter at a good price?

Thanks for the tip. Yeah, it IS pricey, but I'm looking for something good [b]and[/b] durable.

I've seen mixed reviews on the Csonka Smoker Cloakers. Most say they work well but don't hold up for very long. Most of those posts were made a few years back, so maybe they've improved their products.

It's just too damned cold to sit outside and smoke here during the winter - not to mention what cold air does to wrapper leaves.  :-\

I am looking at the Rabbit Air.  My gf hates smoke since she's allergic.  If it's confined to one single room with a Rabbit air with the door closed while smoking how effective is it at riding the smoke smell?

From what I've read, 2 years is a good long life on the Csonka.
Got mine last week. So far, so good. It even eats the smell of the candles I burn to cover/eliminate the smoke.
The fan is an easy fix - you can get a replacement at a computer shop. That little fan is from a PC - size of a GPU cooling fan. $10.00 should find a viable replacement for it. The rest of the unit, I'm not sure - haven't really looked that closely at it.

It's not. And I've owned the 780 (model) rabitt aire for two years. Plus I have a heated/ventilated lounge. The rabitt aire is just back up. A room is going to smell regardless. I clean my lounge every 2 weeks. Hardwood floors, bar top and leather chairs. All get wiped down.
The Csonkas work to dilute lingering smells to next to nothing. But my 2 year old unit is on the brink of fan failure. The Ozone is destroying the electrical components in it.
