Smoke smell has got me down. HELP

[nevaquit01]

I am smoking with a buddy of mine and we live in a pretty old house. The smell gets everywhere because my windows won't open. They are painted shut. The central air only has a blowing vent, no return air vent. So the only way it gets out of my room is through the door or the walls.

I'm thinking of hooking up an active carbon filter and maybe even a HEPC filter to a small but powerful fan. Will this work at all?

I light a strong scented candle as well. I dont need it to be absolutely smelless but at least it can't smell outside of my room.

Damn man, that's a really bad situation. The best advice would be for you to NOT smoke in your room. Go outside and find some woods or alley or something to smoke in.

But when I was hiding pot smell from my parents, I used to take a toilet paper roll, and stuff it full of Dryer sheets (like bounty and snuggles). Then after you take a hit, blow it through the toilet paper roll. The sheets will soak up most of the smell, and make the room smell like clean clothes.

Also spray some axe body spray or something. Should cover up most of the smell. And you should do your fan idea.

Windows stuck shut by paint is not something you should accept as circumstances that you just have work around. Get some paint remover, and get those windows open.

Filters, air cleaners, air ionizers do NOTHING unless air is moving through them (which doesn't happen a great deal under even the best circumstances). There is minimal air circulation in your house. Removing stale air is just as important as replacing it with fresh air. If you are renting, that's on your landlord. I would actually ask an AC guy about the system. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but there should be a VENT somewhere! Ya'll are going to get SICK if you don't do something about it.

Good luck.

To be quite honest, I think you really should open up your windows. That would really freak me out. What if a fire started or something like that? Anyway, now to talk about pot... Well, candles do work well to cover up smells. Axe and air purifiers work well... but have you tried incense?

If a fire started I'm sure you'd take your elbow or a fist and bust that motha fucka open!

Seriously, if a little glass window is what's going to keep you sealed in and get burned alive, you are a wimp! :dance:
