Odor Sok?? Has anyone any experience?

[Bodah]

Saw these recently... Seems like a neat concept. Other than they cannot be refilled. Has anyone tried these before? I have to get a new carbon filter and was
considering these...

Cheers,
Bod

never heard of it explain?

So how do they work? Odor-Sok Air Filters are constructed using bundles of microscopic activated carbon filaments and fibres. By controlling fibre width to 20 nm, the kinetics (adsorption rate) of carbon cloth is similar to that of a single exposed carbon particle. Air flows evenly across the carbon and with accelerated kinetics (up to ID-2400) and increased surface area, Odor-Sok Air Filters retain all the properties of deep filter bed canisters. Faster adsorption rates means smaller filter equipment and up to thirty times less carbon in use for the same result over a one year period. That's how!

I was in what I consider to be a reliable shop the other day and asked the guy if he thought this would replace the can filter. He laughed. Said if you are growing a stinky kush or something these would be almost useless. As with all products its first incanation is rarely what you are looking for. More research needed. Peace GS

[Bodah]

I was sort of skeptical when I saw them. There's no way I am going to use an untested or inferior product, especially when security is involved... No question about that at all:)... Thanks.

Thats what I'm talkin about. Someones gotta be first and thats not me. Oh well as always someone will say 'I could make that for cheaper" and product development will really begin.Good luck. Peace GS

Unless they throwin a couple get out of jail free cards then I'm sticking with a can man:)...

I have been running one for 4 weeks in flower. So far, so good.
The strain is Island Sweet Skunk, a 10 week, very smelly plant.
Even large vegging plants smell funky.

I'll keep you posted.

[Bodah]

That would be great, What size are you using...

The odor sok is a simple case of someone inventing the figurative better mousetrap. This thing is a huge step forward for home growers, no shit. I bought one a month ago when my phat filter finally bith the dust after 3 years of admirable service. I put that aside until i can get an ionizer to recharge the carbon, and spent 80 bucks for the OS.

I can tell you it does a fine job of cleaning up the smell from 50 plants including 30 blockheads, which are damn stinky as much as kush or sweet skunk I am sure. Mine is the 8" model, this thing weighs about 2 or 3 pounds but you can literally tape it to the fan, horizontally and it will stay no probelm. Or hang it from the ceiling with thumbtacks. I'm stoked on this thing, BUT THEY NEED TO SHAPE UP AND MAKE IT IN USA OR CANADA! SKEEREW THE RED BASTARD CHINESE and that is no small gripe with this product. . . sigh

Overall, I don't expect it to last as long as a normal metal canister filter but the trade-off of weight and size, not to mention costing 300-400 percent less than a normal filter makes this a must-have. There is now no excuse for anyone to "blow up the spot" with stinky pot fumes anymore, which is only a good thing.

Two thumbs up, completely revolutionary product.

I'm running a 6 inch, probably the same as Cannafornia, as mine was also $80.
I must heartlily second ALL of his points, save for the longevity. I'll wait that out. (although at this price, I would buy them every six months if I had to)

I put that aside until i can get an ionizer to recharge the carbon, and spent 80 bucks for the OS.
I bought a 25 kilo bag of new, pelletized activated charcoal for about $125 Cnd. which is enough to refill my Can 33 at least 4 or 5 times or my Can 2600 about 10 times, so it might be more economical and less of a pain in the ass to just buy a large bag of activated charcoal.

[Bodah]

Thanks for the replys and reports... I'm really flip flopping with this one:). But I guess for $100 if it lasts a year and it works then maybe its worth a go.

Cheers,
Bod

we need a can / odorsok hybrid

[Lungus]

An odorsock that goes around your Can filter instead of the white filter cloth to get longer life out of the charcoal in the Can.

[Cannafornia]

Eh lungus, I just can't find any refill charcoal around here. The shops just want to sell you a new filter. When I bought my phat filter it was with the understanding that refills were available in the form of carbon shells that dropped into the canister. No dice.

It would take some careful prying apart and re-riveting to refill it, but apparently running ozone through it for a day will oxidise the junk in there and bring it back to life. My buddy has one but its not really accessible at the moment.


I'm wondering why we don't have metal shelled carbon filters that are only an inch thick instead of 3 or 4. It's freaking ridiculous how big these filters are, and the phatty is the most petite of them all.

GH put their name on "dutch breeze" filters that gave screw off tops and easily available refills, THEY SAY. ahaha

I think the perfect product would be more rigid than the odor-sok, maybe a stiffer internal frame and a shell made of cordura nylon, with the actual filter element being an oversok made with twice as much carbon material. It would still be under 8 pounds and less than $150 for a large one.

[nuggdigger]

Cannafornia, i've yet to see the odor-sok...
Your saying oversok made with twice as much carbon material

is there carbon material in the odoursok?...or not/other...? :confused:..
and get a ro for your drinkin water already;)dude.


peace:peace:

[budular]

If it works in Cannafornias hood it'll work just about anywhere. I'm thinking of trying em out, size and weight are def considerations the price is just gravy on the biscuit
As far as reactivating your old carbon. Canna, Dude I'll sell you that ozone blue devil or whatever it's called for a good price, it cost like 400.00 originally. All you gotta do is get a reducer to make it from 12" to your 8" and fire it up with a fan on it. The only thing is how long do you have to run it to clean it out? That ozone stinks and it's not healthy.

[Green Supreme]

Careful with ozone around you at high enough levels it causes perforations in the lungs. Peace GS

[Lungus]

It would take some careful prying apart and re-riveting to refill it, but apparently running ozone through it for a day will oxidise the junk in there and bring it back to life. My buddy has one but its not really accessible at the moment.
That's a bummer. Can filters have screws that hold the end caps on and are made to be refilled.

[Bodah]

Maybe if you drilled the rivets and re-attached the end cap with some stove bolts or sturdy sheet metal screws (Lasers)...

Bod

[Cannafornia]

come on nugg are you saying I exhibit signs of mercury toxicity? Yea I would agree with you. Hey Budularo! I don't know what I would use an ionizer for in the long run, I don't have to ship any beasters anytime soon! haha But I would pay you 20 bucks to use it for a day!

[gisisi]

Let's not complicated these things. The are beautifully simple.
My wife has the best sniffer around. It has earned her approval.

gisisi

[Cannafornia]

is a sniffer like a cooter? jk

[nuggdigger]

lol..sniffer better be nose..
actually i was refering to the flouride, been reading a lot of threads about the excessive flouridation of the hippies in the humbolt area...damn the man, calcifying our penial gland in an attempt to keep us down by drowning our dreams, and hardening our hearts:suspicious:

Well I broke down and bought another can filter... Maybe I'll give them a go next round.

Some guys have to be first. I like to wait and let others do the testing if I already have something working. Good luck to those willing to try. Peace GS

[gisisi]

I never reposted with my experience, but since the thread is active, I must say that my wife insisted I change it to a traditional filter after about two weeks.

It works a little - maybe with a 250 watt ot 600 watt grow.

[Pavo Cristatus]

Big suckage. I am using two odor sok 10"s matched up to two 10" inline fans, both are not fully scrubbing the odors and my strain is not a dank one.

I also know of 4 other people who jumped on buying the soks when they first were released, all four have gone back to traditional can filters. I too will scrap the sok very soon.

Scrubbing odors is important to most situations, best not to go with a sok.

[gisisi]

The fact that it works a little means the design could be improved to work completely.

Maybe two or three times as thick.
Maybe make it in a nation known for high quality control.

Junk, waste of time n moola~ Jtlyk~ Febreeze absolutely blows it out of the water...

Piece of shit no doubt..... takes no quantum physicist to compare the carbon weight, volume and quality to an industry standard filter.
