How long does a 6" Carbon filter last you?

Will it work for a year, 6 months, what do you personally get out of them? And what's the brand you go with.

This AC Infinity 6" filter of mine just stopped filtering smells after 1 & 1/2 flower runs. So not even 2 full runs.

Seems like the thing that will cost the most to keep growing?

Can filters are expensive but well worth the price. I always have questioned the prices of the other products available and wondered why they could be so much cheaper.

How many runs can you expect out of a 6", $211 Can filter? V.s. a $50 Vivosun or $75 AC Infinity I guess is the question.

I have the 4 inch flange that is 15 inches or so tall. I've got three runs threw it. I got the filter from a former grower who ran it for 3 runs all those and its still going strong. I think new they are less than $150 for the one I have referencing a website that sells them.

vivosun 4 and 6” but the 4” was used longer, like 5 months with 6” and a year with 4”. It is an expense yes, but 40-60$ is not bad once or twice a year.

Anything smaller than a 2x2 is not worth the costs so I do not use one for those, maybe slap one on if it needs to not smell for a time being.

Have not had to find another brand yet. I have filter outside of tent too, works either way.

Yea crazy. Guess I'll run the Vivosun & see if it's as short-lived as the AC Infinity. I'm venting outside but my whole room still stinks 24-7, so the current filter is definitely dead at 4-months use. Smh
