Howdy Doody Rowdy Booties!
I'm moving into my new place, and last night I decided to do a little test with my scrubber for gits and shiggles. Earlier that day, I smoked half a joint, and as I went about my day, everytime I walked into the room I smoked in, it reeked like a burnt joint... No surprise there, It had a decent strength to the smell but it was better than the cat smell left by the previous owner. anyway, back to the experiment. a month or so ago, I bought a new Durabreeze 4"x16" Carbon Filter for the next round since I knew we'd be moving, but I never really used it other than checking the fit of the Can fan and seeing how much resistance the filter added to the fan.
after the room had mostly cleared of the joint smell, I went back in the room, shut the door, and smoked another half a joint... This time, after I was done I turned on my Carbon scrubber and walked out, shutting the door behind me. awhile later, I walked back into the room and although I didn't smell the joint, there was a pretty strong smell that I haven't smelled before, I guess the closest thing I can think of to compare it to is when people run those Ozone generators, but it was quite a bit stronger and not exactly the same smell.
So has anyone ever known a new carbon filter to have any sort of smell to them? I have been reading articles, surfing forums, watching videos, listening to interviews and podcasts for years, and I did a metric shit ton of research when looking to buy the filter, but I never heard of this. I'm not a big fan of the smell the filter made either, but if it's what it takes to keep my shit running smoothly, I'm sure I'll get used to it!
any help is appreciated, as always!
