Question 1

1. Why does weed smell so much?

Accepted Answer

The smell that marijuana leaves behind is very strong and very pungent, and is an instant giveaway for anyone who is smoking weed. This is a very strong smell and one often wonders as to why does weed have such a strong smell. The answer to this question is that this smell originates from compounds that are made in the cannabis plant known as terpenes or terpenoids, which is basically a type of an essential oil produced by the plant and all flowering plants produce that. Terpenes can produce different kinds of smells and they have different effects on each plant. rnrnSome people often believe that the smell of weed comes from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However that is not true and THC does not have a smell of its own.

Question 2

2. Is a carbon filter 100% effective against odours?

Accepted Answer

It won’t be right to say that a carbon filter gives you a 100% effective solution against odors of all sorts. However, when it comes to the smell that marijuana leaves behind, a carbon filter can filter out most of the smell but there’s still a chance that there still might be some traces of smell that can be left behind, particularly if you have been smoking in the area and the dust has settled down on furniture around you. You would then need to vacuum those surfaces to make it 100% smell free. However, it would be fair to say that it is at least 85-90% effective in eliminating odours.

Question 3

3. How often do you need to change the filters?

Accepted Answer

It depends on filter to filter. Most pre-filters need to be changed every six months if they are non-washable. The washable filters can last you for a little longer but over the course of time they too, would need to be changed. Most carbon filters come with one pre-filter pre-installed. Some even come with two so that you can save on the cost of buying a new filter. However, pre-filters do need to be changed or else the effectiveness of the carbon filter will be hampered.
