Thank you for sharing your experience with both the regular and Smoke Block filters. We appreciate your diligence in replacing them regularly and understand how inconvenient lingering odors can be, especially with strong sources like wildfire smoke, cigarette smoke, or heavily scented candles. While the Smoke Block filter is designed to reduce odors and airborne particles, extreme or continuous exposure can sometimes exceed its capacity. We recommend ensuring proper room ventilation and considering
placement adjustments to maximize performance. Our team would be happy to guide you further on optimizing your setup so you can get the best results.
