Tips and Tricks to Keep Things Discreet
Love it or hate it, there's no denying the smell of some fresh bud is strong. Whether you're trying to be considerate of roommates or just want to keep things discreet, here are our top tips for hiding the smell of weed.
1. Make a Sploof
Sploofs are handheld filtering devices that reduce marijuana odor. You exhale smoke through one end while the filter processes it. Commercial options like SmokeBuddy are available, but DIY versions are simple to create. Gather a cardboard tube, a dryer sheet, and a rubber band. Fold the dryer sheet multiple times, then secure it to one end of the tube.
2. Smoke in the Bathroom/Shower
Running a hot shower generates steam that disperses smoke odor. Ensure the bathroom exhaust fan operates to remove the steam and smoke mixture. Wedge a damp towel under the door to prevent odor from escaping. Following use, showering yourself helps eliminate lingering scents.
3. Use Natural Incense, Scented Candles, or Essential Oils
Natural fragrances can mask unwanted odors while improving overall space ambiance. Palo Santo, sandalwood, lavender, and eucalyptus work effectively. Regular candle burning prevents odor accumulation. Avoid artificial deodorizers, which tend to blend unpleasantly with cannabis scents.
4. Try Vaping
Vaporizers heat cannabis to extract cannabinoids and terpenes without combustion. This method avoids harmful tar and carcinogens while producing a less noticeable aroma.
5. Make Sure There's Proper Ventilation
Adequate air circulation prevents odors from settling on surfaces, furniture, and walls. Open windows and direct fans outward to create airflow, while being considerate of neighbors in shared housing.
6. Pack a Small Bowl
Bowls generate significantly less smoke than joints or bongs. Loading smaller amounts reduces burning and subsequent smoke production, supporting discretion.
