How many treatments and for what length of time per treatment will it take to remove cigarette odors?

We have a one story 1680 Ft. house. It took 2- 4 hour sessions. The machine is wonderful. I could not say enough good things about it. The only thing I might add is: there are a lot of these machines on the market and none of them are better than the bare bones model We used.

It depends on the size of the area. My friend bought a late model car that reeked of smoke for his daughter. He ran my ozone generator in there for two hours, let it set overnight and then repeated the next day. You would never be able to tell that anyone had smoked in there previously.We had a river otter take up residence under our 1600 SQ Ft cabin leaving a foul odor. After the otter was relocated I ran the ozone generator under the cabin for four hours a day for two weeks using a timer. The smell is completely gone.

Patrick, Actually, I purchased the bare bones ozone generator. I haven't had the opportunity to use it to remove cigarette smoke but it did a fine job removing several other odors. The instruction sheet that came with the unit gives a basic guideline as to its use but some experimentation is required. I would suggest that you start slowly, maybe an hour, and check the results. Times will vary depending on the subject's size. Be sure to read the instructions regarding healthy use.

Don't smoke, but it took one hour to remove 95% of a vomit smell out of a car.

I don't smoke but my brother does.when he visits it seems to control the smoke well.and a few hours after he is gone the odor seems to be totally gone.I don't know more than that but I hope that helps.

I have only used on cigarette smoke. It did the trick but after a period of a couple months the smoky smell is back although not as strong.

If you used significant amount of ozone for your shock treatment, in my experience it may take up to 5 days to get rid of the residual ozone / ozone smell. You can reduce half-lifetime of ozone from its usual value of around 12 hours by agitating the air with fans, increasing humidity in the air, and increasing the temperature. The problem is that ozone penetrates any porous matter in your room (from wall paint to clothes) and then slowly emanates into the air. Just venting the room would reduce the ozone concentration, but will not eliminate it completely to the level at which you can't smell it anymore. Having said that, low ozone concentrations are usually not dangerous, but irritating.

It will surley help. The only problem is cigg smoke does stick to everything so after a couple months you would need to replace the filter or try and clean it real good with smell remover such as is used for pets and pet urine smells. I used to be a smoker for many years and used it in my office although I smoked outdoors only, could still smell the ciggs on my clothes and office chair, so cleaned mine, on a different model regularly until one day just couldnt remove the smell any longer. Keep the windows and door closed where the smoke comes in as the less in the room the blonger the filter will remain clean. Ciggs should be illegal! More addicting, deadly and smelly than other things! It will surley help.

I get about 6 hours per use. Four months per bottle. Absolute best odor suppression of any deo I've tried.

I don't know, but it did not do a good job for me in removing cat dander/pollen and smoke odors.

Works on stains but have no idea about smoke odors. Smoke odors are tough to remove from anything!

It helped get the cigarette smoke smell out of a used car that had been owned by a smoker. It does leave a residual odor, so you might want to sample it and decide which odor is the worst. I would think it would take quite a bit to treat a stateroom.

It comes with 1 filter (you can purchase additional ones). If you mean how many cigarette slots, there are 6.

I'm an x smoker and this question is a great one. Unfortunately this won't work for deleting the cigarette smoke or smell. You would have to have it up to your face and carry it around with you when you smoked. For it to work it has to be almost directly infront of the sorce. Its not made for what you're looking for, not a lot of things are. Trust me, I've been through what you're going through and know. Good luck.

Sure, soak them in water for 15 minutes. Then make a tin foil envelope Seal it the poke a few holes to let the smoke out and oxygen in. It'll smoke for 15 minutes. Which will be plenty. If not make another.

No idea. I do know that it does a miraculous job of eliminating dog, urine and smoke odors. I have no understanding of the science behind it.

It will absolutely eliminate the smoke smell. You should run it at full power over night when no one is there and turn it to low when you have guests. I would ask the company also. There is nothing else that eliminates odors like ozone. I think you could put it on a timer so that your employees don't spend long periods of time with high levels of ozone. My personal use for this machine is because of a smoker so I know it eliminates the odors. In the days when smoking was allowed everywhere ozone air filters were in every bar!

The treatment cycle lasts 3 minutes. If you need to treat multiple areas, you'd have to push the start button again. But if the issue is that it won't run again after the first treatment, I'd contact the seller first, then the manufacturer.

This smoker uses 1 per 30 mins. So the quantity used each time varies on what you are smoking. On average, my smoking time is 2.5 hours - or about 5-60briquettes.
