it stinks like hell after 3-4 cigs and cant carry it around ... any ideas on how to carry a used filter minus the stink?

I twist a paper towel end into a point and try to clean some of the tar out. That should help the stink and makes the filter last longer

I can't smell it, probably because I smoke so much. If you can then you either need to smoke more or stop smoking altogether. I am just thankfull it stops a lot of the tar from getting into my lungs. It was made to do that, not to smell good.

View the instructions on the page I linked to below. I actually bought a second air filter from Corksport so I can easily switch between filters and take my time washing the dirty one.http://corksport.com/corksport-dry-flow-air-filter.html

Since the Model 04381 has apparently been discontinueg and filters for it are no longer availible I think your best option is the Hamilton Beach Room Odor Eliminatior Model 04532 using the carbon filters. I've used this combination for almost a year in one room and it does a great job of removing the smoke and odor. Hope this is helpful.

Funny, I smoke Misty too and I squash the filter end of the cigarette to make a tighter fit, but I still have to be careful with it so it doesn't fall out.

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

The inside of mine smelled pretty bad when I first got... I think se hot soapy water will do the trick.

Boy you know right now I am probably NOT the person to answer this as I have had some "issues" that I am trying? to get resolved BUT I will TRY and help you do that task, hmmmm I found that using a damp cloth is the best for the "paper" kinda filter and the plastic one well I am sure you know you just grab the lint and ball it up GOOD LUCK!!

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

I usually bang as much dust out of it as I can when I empty the bin. Then just vacuum the filter itself whenever it seems to be REALLY dirty. We've got 3 of the HEPA filters and just rotate them in and out.

If you had it within the time aloted for a return, return it and get another brand. If it is past the return date and you have the receipt you can return it directly to the company. Most of the filters have a 1yr or lifetime guarantee. Hope this is helpful.

Absolutely. I actually had to stop using it due to the horrible smell. This occurred about 6 months after I purchased the unit. I even had washed out the " lifetime filter" , but it has continued shortly after. Was thinking to purchase a new filter and see if that helps. :(

I've been - very happily - using this product for 3 years and never had an medicinal odor problem. I would make sure the machine is notthe source of the smell by wiping it clean. I would also leave the filter in the sun for a few ours, put it back in the purifier and run it on max speed for a 5-10 minutes. If none of these measures work, I'd send it back for a replacement.

I got a new 403 6 months ago and it had charcoal. I didn't open it up to see, but you could smell it when first starting with the new filter. The smell went away in a few hours as the instructions said it would.

I don't see a filter. So, I am afraid I can't help you. Although there is some sort of basket thing before the vapor comes out. Can't say if that's a filter or not but I don't see how it can be replaced.

You can't wash it but you can "dust bust" it or vaccuum it; eventually you will need a new one, but not each time it says "clean filter." The filters last a long time.
