I wanted to remove cig smoke odor from a car. Is it possible to do this and how?

You would need to leave it on all night with the car sealed. Some ozone units can degrade plastics and rubber... Making then melt. I consider this more of a food and water unit. I would like for a more industrial ozone air unit in the 200 range. I love this for making food grade ozone water and ozonated oils. Jmho

I did it for 20 minutes and killed my alternator. Could have been a coincidence but the car worked fine the night before, ozonated before bed, stopped running on the way to work the next morning 6 am.

Probably. I've never used it on smoke but I did talk to a contractor who uses an ozone generator in buildings to clean up odors. Just make sure you don't directly breath the fumes. The ozone initially has a strong rain like smell but after the smell dissipates, everything smells fresh.

Best why I know how to do that is for a portable Ozone air purifier with an adapter for DC to AC use. The Ozone Aqua 6 is for water purification only. You plug in the adapter to the battery inlet (cig lighter) and set the instrument for high.

It seems to do a pretty good job at removing many odors... My guess is going to be the key to cigarette smoke is go ahead and buy two extra Hepa filters and wash the charcoal reusable pre filter once a week for the first month or so. Then next how big is the room? You may need to move it around if you have multiple rooms or they are broken up.

Sara, I have used ZEP for the past few years as a quick way to freshen up the car or a bedroom from smoking odors. It will neutralize the smell of tobacco that is in the air, via a chemical reaction (more than just masking with a scent). However, this product will not remove smoking odor that has become saturated into fabric such as carpet, or drywall material. The only effective method to extract impregnated odors is by using a high quality ozone generator (over 3000 mg/h). For the price ($89.), this unit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GS3T8O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KTA1084TTDPH&coliid=I18A6OYCZC1QV9 does an exceptional job. You will need a good room fan, and you must leave the house for 4 hours or more because ozone is toxic at this level. However, it dissipates quickly when the doors are opened, and it's safe after a few minutes of exposure to open air. Restoration contractors use these types of ozone generators to remove smoke odors after fire damage, smells after flooding, mold (including toxic molds), and the stench caused by just about any other rotting substance. And hotels use them to get rid of tobacco smoke. A good ozone generator will absolutely remove the odor of 4 years of constant smoking in a closed room. There isn't any kind of spray in a can that will do it. I hope this helps you.

a solution of vinegar and water sprayed lightly and rubbed into the material should help absorb the scent and eventually remove it. I don't believe it will damage it at all as it's not real leather. I've used vinegar to get smoker scents out of desks/chairs and other items, it works pretty well.

We do not smoke but we have had dogs and it removes the dog smell. Plus we live in a rural area and there is a lot of skunks that get hit on the road near us. and this removes that odor as well. So i would imagine that it would remove smoke odor. Hope that helps.

Not sure about cig stain. I work in power plant and have had light grease stains. Zymol cleaner, then leather treatment did the job on that

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.

Sure is, several ways you can do this basically i'd grab one of these http://goo.gl/s3luSY with this u can use cigarette lighter plug .. or cut the cig lighter plug part off, shore the wires and use either alligator clips or an extended piece of wire if necessary and connect directly to your battery just dont get the + and - wrong. Hope this helps somewhat. - Steve

It will take the smoke Smell away. But it is not a fresh scent in my opinion. Will not make it smell Normal for a little while and you have to open your windows To let the fresh air in.

You can, but you'll need a good exhaust system like a full hood. It kicks up a lot of smoke.

If you mean the port that you plug electrical things into, then yes. Just don't plug it into the cigarette port. I hope this helps considering I can't determine exactly what a "car charger port thing" is and what you're looking at.

Yes, it will work. But somebody with a "trained nose", like a parent for instance, would be able to detect the odor of all types of smoke. My girlfriend (non-smoker) can tell that I smoke in my truck, but she says it's not as "heavy" as it was before I used the Ozium...it's just a trace, according to her.

I think it will. It will gradually reduce the smell of the smoke, but you have to quit smoking first (at least inside the car) :) You might want to use febreze first.

Yes it works with cigarette smoke. Unfortunately it is a very noticeable fan noise.

Get an adjustable power cigarette port power supply and plug that into the unit. Make sure you have the right size plug on it though.

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.
