It’s time to graduate… from the sploof!

We’ve all been there, trying to enjoy your JUUL or a little weed and all of a sudden people start side-eyeing you. Back in the day we made toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer sheets and hid in bathrooms to avoid this awkward situation, but luckily advancements in technology have allowed us to move past the Dark Ages. Enter Philter Labs: the smallest, sleekest and most sophisticated personal air filtration device on the market. At just 4” tall this pocket-sized device has a big impact on vaping and cannabis communities alike.

So, how does it work? Simply inhale your smoke or vapor into your lungs, and exhale into our PHILTER. Our patented Zero-5 technology filters your exhale eliminating secondhand smoke and smell. Whether you’re ripping a bong or a JUUL, our PHILTER works with it all including but not limited to CBD, THC and nicotine. This may seem like magic–and though we consider our CTO Jonathan Grimm a wizard–it is simply an epic product product backed by science and extensive lab testing.

Here are the products we currently offer

PHILTER POCKET is a stand-alone, slim, handheld filter that can be used in combination with your favorite vaporizer or smoking accessory. Simply exhale your vapor or smoke into the mouthpiece to reduce emissions and keep the air around you smoke-free.

PHILTER PHLIP is the 1st accessory that transforms your vaporizer into a filtering solution. Simply insert your favorite pen or stick vape into one side of the sleeve and the PHILTER POCKET into the opposite side. Then, after you inhale from your vape, ‘flip’ the sleeve to exhale your vapor into the POCKET filter for reduced emissions and odors.

Sure, we aren’t the first one to bring a sploof-like product to market, but do you really want to carry around a GRENADE-shaped smoke filter with you? Good luck going through security at the airport with that ugly contraption. YIKES! In contrast, our PHILTER is only 4” tall with a modern, sleek design and STILL lasts as long as our competitors. Our wide variety of colors also allows you to mix and match to your mood- PHILTER your smoke, not your personality!

So do yourself a favor: avoid the judgy looks from neighbors and ugly products from competitors and buy yourself a PHILTER. Because you’re an adult and you should be able to smoke when and where you want with dignity.

The Smokebuddy Air Filter: Smoke Where You Want, Not Where You Can

College dorms and common areas are generally not considered ‘hotspots’ of personal privacy. From loud music and social gatherings to the (not so) infamous Popcorn Arson down the hall, control over the sounds, smells and serenity of your personal space is limited. Furthermore, students who enjoy tobacco or cannabis products face even greater restrictions—both on and off campus.

Fortunately, for the benefit of both smokers and non-smokers alike, Smokebuddy has created the first truly personal air filter. By combining highly-advanced, HEPA filter technology with a versatile array of colors, themes and form factors, there’s a Smokebuddy to meet everyone’s needs—regardless if it’s a mad dash to class, relaxing with your suite-mates or a Saturday night blowout with your entire dorm. In your room. Registered with your resident advisor, of course!

The simplicity of the design is what makes it so brilliant; rather than filtering an entire room or area, Smokebuddy personal filters purify the air exhaled directly through the filter.  The Activated Carbon core is combined with Ceramic Bead technology to filter away contaminants and remove smoke and odors.  By eliminating the impact on your immediate area, your neighbors and the environment, you can tailor your efforts towards your laser-like focus on attaining a higher education, free from the shackles of wandering RA’s, unhappy roommates or letting a social life get the best of your studies. There are no batteries or filters to replace, no apps to download, no assembly instructions; the only complexity you’ll face is getting it out of the box.

Smokebuddy purifiers come in Junior, Original and Mega forms, the difference being the size and the lifespan of the filter. The “Junior” is perfect for purses, pockets, backpacks or coats and has a lifespan of 150+ uses.  The “Original” (and best-selling) is great for dorm rooms, automobiles, travel (and more), with a lifespan exceeding 300 uses.  The monster of them all, the “Mega,” is a beast, suited for the serious consumer. It’s great for apartments, dorm halls or suites, even the football team, and designed to last as long as your lungs will (give or take). The affordable, long-lasting filter is made from Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic (PCR) and can be recycled once the filter lifespans expires.

Customers can choose from an array of colors and themes, including several flavors of Tie Die (for the lava lamp types), Glow in the Dark (for you romantics out there) and both Camo and “The Grenade” (for Active Duty, ROTC, and Military History majors). The Smokebuddy Company actively supports Charity causes, including the Las Vegas Victims Fund and Children’s Hospitals, is active in the local community and sponsors youth and adult hockey and racing programs.

If you’re a college-aged smoker, you’re probably asking yourself right now, “Could it get any better?” The answer to that, of course, is “YES!” For a limited time, Smokebuddy is offering a preferred discount to College News readers.  Simply enter “BACKTOSCHOOL” in the Discount Code section at checkout and receive a “20%” discount on your entire order.  Act fast, as this offer is good only through the date of your first exam.

Smokebuddy’s motto is “Keep Your Smoke to Yourself,” which is exactly what it allows you to do.  We can’t guarantee it will make you an admirable roommate, but by reducing your impact on the space and the people around you, it’s a step in the right direction.  With regards to the Popcorn Arson and your snoring roommate, unfortunately, you’re on your own.
