Do you refill your carbon filter?

Times are tough, inflation is out of control!
How do you handle your carbon filters?

I don’t run a filter. Just let my neighbors enjoy the aroma.

Its a house guest im worried about. Im going to refill mine and use them during flowering. Smoking covers it during veg.
It sucks ass. I have to hide everything.

I get about 1.5 - 2 years from 1 so I just buy new.
I use AC Infinity filters in all 3 of my tents.
ACI sells refillable filters, just buy bags of carbon.
I may switch to the refillable next time.

Like a pre-filter for the intake side or pre filter before it goes through the main filter?

I run exhaust and intake fans, I feel the intake fan helps with the smell because I don't have any flaps open at the bottom of the tent so the air doesn't have a chance to escape.

Build a pre filter out of pvc or wood. Then run that with the reg filter and fan. I prefilter my intake with a cloth filter. Honestly everything gets grimy looking no matter how much i clean or upgrade filters. I just want to control the smell a bit more

Refillable filters are cheaper in the long run and are better for the environment, so that's what we have. I only use them when my wife complains about the smell of the nutrients. Otherwise, we usually like the smell of the flowers.

I wish someone made a in-line carbon filter. My tent vents out of the house. I have the in-line fan mounted outside of the tent to allow the light to hang higher.

I unscred the 4 screws drilled out the 4 rivets. And put the used carbon in a bag to weigh for replace. The only thing i have read was to make sure its fully packed.
Im going to compact it as i fill it.
Just about 7lbs in the 6inch vivosun filter

Has anyone reactivated their carbon?
If so, how'd you do it?
Im prob going to boil or oven cook it.

Works great.
Just gotta figure out how long and plan when to use it.
I ended up buying the acinfinity 32lb activated charcoal.
