How Smoke Eraser outlasts Smoke Buddy (and all other brands on the market)

Is Smoke Eraser more expensive than other brands, and is it a pain in the ass to clean? Questions I'm often asked and will answer below as they sufficiently cover this topic...

Quick Answer: Smoke Eraser lasts far longer than Smoke Buddy or any other sploof because it limits passage of moisture and resin, allows users to quickly purge collected resin from a removable prefilter, dry the HEPA filter when and if needed, and also offers an optional Docking Station to safely dry delicate filter pleats back open overnight.

Why Smoke Eraser Is the Most Cost-Efficient Sploof

First of all, don't let a few dollars more upfront deter you when it comes to Smoke Eraser.
The brand is simply the most cost-efficient on the market today, hands down.

It's also the only unit designed to limit the passage of moisture and resin, allowing customers to purge both from the removable prefilter as needed. This, along with the ability to dry the HEPA filter back to new, allows Smoke Eraser to easily exceed anything else you can buy today.

Smoke Eraser vs Smoke Buddy: Proven Longevity

Whether it’s the Smoke Buddy, Smoke Trap, Sploofy, or any other brand, Smoke Eraser outlasts them all.
Average users experience extraordinary lifespans, light users may never clog the unit, while moderate users often exceed 1,000+ exhales per unit.

The Docking Station (an optional HEPA filter dryer) restores filters overnight, safely drying delicate pleats back to new and increasing countless lifespans.

Maintenance That’s Optional — But Smart

As for cleaning, it’s totally optional. Users who want to maximize lifespan can remove the prefilter as needed and purge any collected resin.
Simply soak the prefilter pieces in alcohol to eliminate residue an issue common in competing sploofs.

The Only Brand That Lets You “Reset” Your HEPA Filter

Eventually, moisture from breath can soak HEPA filter pleats and make exhales harder.
Smoke Eraser solves this with a removable lid for ventilation and optional drying with the Dock, resetting filters back to new.

Quick Summary

Maintenance tasks are simple and optional, but give users the ability to drastically increase lifespan.
That’s why Smoke Eraser delivers the longest-lasting, most cost-efficient sploof ever developed.
