Sploofy Pro II Review: Is This the Best Personal Air Filter for Discreet Smoking?

Introduction: Cleaning Up the Cloud

For anyone living in an apartment, dorm, or shared house, the anxiety of lingering smoke and odor is a constant companion. Whether you are vaping or smoking, keeping your habit discreet is often a necessity. Enter the Sploofy Pro II, a personal air filter designed to scrub smoke and smell from your exhalation instantly.

Unlike the cardboard-and-dryer-sheet contraptions of the past, the Sploofy Pro II uses industrial-grade filtration technology. But in a market dominated by the disposable Smoke Buddy, does the Sploofy Pro II’s replaceable cartridge system justify the price? I put it to the test to see if it’s truly the ultimate solution for indoor odor control.

Design and Build: A Gadget, Not a Toy

One of the first things you notice about the Sploofy Pro II is that it doesn’t look like a smoking accessory. With a matte finish and a substantial, weighted feel, it resembles a high-end portable speaker or a reusable water bottle.

• Ergonomic Mouthpiece: The silicone mouthpiece is a standout feature. It is contoured and wide, allowing for a complete seal around the mouth. This is critical for preventing “side smoke” leakage—a common failure point in cheaper filters.
• Sustainability Factor: The killer feature here is the replaceable cartridge system. Most competitors are single-use plastics; once they clog, you toss the whole unit. With the Sploofy Pro II, you simply unscrew the internal filter and swap it out, keeping the durable outer shell. It’s a smarter, eco-friendly approach that appeals to the sustainability-conscious user.

Performance: Does it Actually Work?

Filtration Efficiency

I tested the Sploofy Pro II with thick vapor clouds and traditional combustion smoke. The results were impressive. The device utilizes a HEPA-grade filter combined with activated carbon to trap particulates and neutralize aromatic compounds.

• The Smoke Test: Upon exhalation, there is virtually zero visible smoke exiting the rear vent. The “disappearing act” is flawless.
• The Smell Test: While no filter can scrub the ambient smell of a burning bowl or joint, the Sploofy Pro II effectively eliminates the odor from the exhaled smoke. If you are vaping, the odor reduction is near 100%, making it virtually undetectable in a well-ventilated room.

Airflow and Resistance

A common complaint with personal air filters is the “blowback”—the feeling that you have to force air through a brick wall. The Sploofy Pro II offers surprisingly smooth airflow. You still need to provide a steady, forceful exhalation, but it doesn’t leave you gasping for air or feeling lightheaded, thanks to a larger surface area on the filter intake.

Longevity and Maintenance

How long does a Sploofy filter last? It depends on your usage habits.

• Lifespan: For the heavy daily user, expect a cartridge to last roughly 3 to 5 weeks. Casual users could see a cartridge last months.
• Moisture Management: The enemy of all carbon filters is moisture from your breath. If the filter gets too damp, it clogs. This device handles this better than most, but it is best practice to let the device air out in a dry room between heavy sessions to maximize the cartridge life.

The Competition: Sploofy Pro II vs. Smoke Buddy

Feature	Sploofy Pro II	Smoke Buddy Original
System	Replaceable Cartridge	Disposable Unit
Mouthpiece	Contoured Silicone	Hard Plastic
Eco-Friendly	Yes (Low Waste)	No
Airflow	High	Moderate
Price	Higher Upfront	Lower Upfront

Pros and Cons

The Good

• True HEPA Filtration: Captures 99.97% of particles.
• Cost-Effective Long Term: Replacement cartridges are cheaper than buying new disposable units.
• Discreet Aesthetics: Blends in with tech and home goods.
• Superior Seal: Minimizes smoke leakage significantly.

The Bad

• Bulkier Form Factor: It’s not as pocket-friendly as the “Junior” or “Mini” competitors.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Requires care in humid environments to prevent premature clogging.

Conclusion

The Sploofy Pro II is arguably the most refined personal air filter on the market today. It takes a utilitarian concept and upgrades it with a focus on sustainability and user experience. While the upfront cost is higher than a disposable filter, the investment pays off after just a few cartridge replacements.

If you prioritize design, airflow, and reducing your plastic footprint, the Sploofy Pro II is the clear winner. It is a “High Times” essential with “The Verge” build quality.
