So I recently got a spider farmer tent and filter and the filter came with two bags of what looks like carbon and a metal piece that looks like a funnel. Are they refillable lmao

Yes and no.
You need a vibrator (not your wife's) to tamper the carbon bed properly otherwise it won't be as effective due to air gaps between the carbon pellets. Some guys refill them. I don't know of any personally. If you buy a new filter it should be factory filled and tamped

Refill and bounce on floor repeatedly as you fill and after
Been doing it over 10 years
Not any odor escape trouble

The filter makers want to sell more filters so they try to scare us into buying more

I figured I'd just set the filter on my dryer when it's running and let the vibration settle it. I just wasn't sure if carbon is what it actually is what they sent with the filter. It's two resealable bags. I figured if it was something just for say a moisture eliminator for the filter in storage it wouldn't be resealable bags.
