I have an odorsok on the inside of my cab, and it works great. I have had it for 6 months now, and I am on my 2nd grow, and it still works good. After my 1st grow I just took out the carbon sheet that is on the inside of the odorsok and threw it in the dryer for 15 minutes, good to go!

The Odor Sok has a 12mm fabric of 20 nanometer fibers and should have twice the contact surface of a heavy carbon filter. Sometimes humidity covers the fibers and lets odors by but it works again when it is dried.
The absolute definite place to use it is on the intake. I put on on my intake pipe and any powdery mildew dissappeared. The Odor Sok blocks light from getting in or out like shutter and air only moves through it when the fans run. I heard about a garden over a main street getting visitors when odor got out when the fans weren't on.
The Sok is great for low intensity uses like tents, mom rooms, babies, drying areas, and scrubbing. Mash them in clean water and dry to reset them.
Making homemade filters is OK but there are different kinds of carbon and big differences between them. Remeber why you are buying a carbon filter and make the investment in your security. Phresh filters and the old Phat and Dragon Filters are the best. The new "pHAT" and phat hydro filters won the brand name in a law suit but arent the same. Too bad that kind of thing has to happen in hydro.

Umm, sorry for the dumbass question, but why on earth would you put an odor scrubber on the intake (as opposed to the exhaust)? To keep the smell outside your grow room from getting all over your plants?

And why do you have powdery mildew anywhere near your grow room?

Hahaha I've got 6 Burmese growing in a DR150 tent. They're at 4 or 5 weeks now and when the fan shuts off the smell can seep out the passive intake. If this is an issue, I'd understand why you might throw a secondary filter on there.

I have a 6" odorsok hooked up to a 4" Vortex blower through a 4 - 6 expander. I'm starting to notice a little stink and if it gets any worse I'll try "re-activating" it in the dryer.

LMAO cos when the fans cut out you can get back pressure that forces smells out through the intake..And depending how short/long your intake runs are and where the intake comes from the low pressure that the intake imits can be a problem........But not if you have an Odor Soc :) - STELTHY :leaf:

The one i had lasted for about 1 year "vs" 2 years of can-filter
but it was $45 compared to the same sized can "$150

Price wise its a no brainer, I prefer the odorsok

the odor sok is just activated carbon sheets, rather then pellets.
Its the same shit that looks like a black solid square in fish filters.
It works perfect. and i wont go back to the large can filters, no point.

Oh bonus -> WAY LESS CFM LOSS
i was able to cut back my cfm from 220 down to 165 or so, and get same results.
so, less power consumption is further change in your coin purse ;)

Odor sok works fine, most of the problems people have are because they size and use them like can-fan, they dont work the same.

Higher CFM would require a bigger sok then a can fan equivalent.
Humidity will "kill" the sok, its retarded but the dryer will fix it up good.

They last about 30% less then a can fan of equal size.


ANyone whos didnt work for them, u can be sure they had too high CFM for thier sok, period.

Take that for what you will, most people on RIU are pretty riggid anyway, and frankly dont care lol, ive been using a sok since they came out in a 6x6x7 space
and have never had an odor issue.

Spend a few bucks more, and do it right. Skimping on odor control is not wise. Do yourselves a favor, get a proper can filter that's made to do the JOB. Otherwise, invite your neighbors and police by for a get-together.

Same goes for you guys that use PC fans with shitty carbon mats, they do not work either.
