Picture this: you're lounging in your favorite smoke spot, basking in the afterglow of a delightful cannabis session. The only problem? Your living space now emits an unmistakable aroma, as if Bob Marley himself had just snuck out the back door. To make matters worse, your parents are due over in an hour! Fear not, for we are about to present a simple solution via the use of the magical device known as a sploof – a mysterious gizmo that turns the fragrance of your Mary Jane into a breeze of freshness. A sploof is essentially a cannabis smoke filter that takes the majority of the smell from smoking weed and, brilliantly, converts it into the smell of something far more innocuous. Like freshly-folded laundry, for example. In this article, your pals at Seedsman are about to keep you covered. We're going to show you how to make a sploof.
Why You Need A Weed Sploof
Before we explore the intricacies of crafting this mystical contraption, let's address the chuckle-inducing name of the thing – "sploof." It sounds like spliff, and goes hand in hand with a spliff. But it’s not a spliff. It’s a sploof. Sounds like a creature from a Terry Pratchett novel.
Why might you need a weed sploof, you ask? Well, not every situation allows you the luxury of lingering smoke. Maybe you have neighbors with a less liberal attitude to cannabis. Maybe you have family coming over later. A weed sploof is just the tool to keep the smell of your smoking on the downlow. Hey - maybe you're just houseproud and don't want your home stinking of green. Whatever your reasons, a weed sploof is a pretty solid way of keeping things relatively odor-free. The sploof is your solution to stifle the smell of weed, your aromatic ally in the quest for a discreet cannabis experience. Every stoner should own a weed sploof.
The Essence of the Sploof: A Masterclass in Odor Neutrality
Now, what exactly is a sploof? It's a crafty device designed to neutralize the telltale scent of cannabis smoke - those delicious terpenes are one of the best things about a good cannabis, but it’s not always ideal to let everyone else know you’re holding some outstanding weed. Think of it as a guardian of your secret sessions, a stealthy sidekick that transforms your exhales into an olfactory illusion.
It’s not quite an air freshener, not quite an air purifier. It’s more like a preventative measure that stops the room becoming overly aromatic in the first place, masking the smell of cannabis at the source as opposed to after the fact. With a sploof in hand, you can puff away without leaving a trace. It works with joints, pipes, and even with bongs so no matter your preferred method of smoking, a weed sploof will soak up the worst of the aroma.
The Tools of Sploof Sorcery
You can buy a high-end weed sploof online, or you can make one yourself for very little cost. If you’re a lover of high-end gadgetry, you might be apt to buy a manufactured sploof. With superior filtering and fancy casingS, these things are as much a talking point as they are a useful tool. But if you opt to go the route of the homemade weed sploof, you can throw one of these together in less time than it takes to roll a joint. Seedsman has the instructions to walk you through the process on how to make a sploof, step-by-step.
Before you unleash the magic, assemble your supplies. This is the moment you transform from a mere mortal into a sploof artisan. Here's your arsenal:
- A Cardboard Tube: Some people opt for a plastic water bottle, but a cardboard tube is even easier. Opt for a substantial one, ensuring it can contain the aromatic prowess within. You can use a toilet roll tube, but the kind you find in paper towel rolls is better.
- Dryer Sheets Galore: Your aromatic ammunition – scented dryer sheets do the job best.
- Rubber Band or Hair Tie: The unsung hero that keeps everything snug.
How To Make The Sploof
Now that you've gathered your tools, let the crafting commence. You don’t need to be Martha Stewart to make one, either - even beginners can follow this enchanting sequence for DIY sploof success:
Take your cardboard tube and simply stuff one end of the tube with dryer sheets, leaving both ends open for now.
Take another dryer sheet and attach it to an open end of the tube by virtue of an elastic band, hair tie, piece of string, sellotape.....basically anything you can find to MacGuyver the dryer sheet in place at the end of the tube, and keep it there. At this point, your sploof is essentially done, and should look like this:
Exhale elegance: Now all you have to do is smoke, and instead of blowing the exhale into the room, blow it directly into the open end of the sploof. As if by magic, the cannabis reek gets trapped in the dryer sheets, and out comes a nice smell resembling laundry instead of landrace! You don't need to say Abracadabra, but you can wear a cape if you wish. What you do in your home is your business. Pass every puff through the device and behold the magic as this unbelievably simple contraption filters the tell-tale odours into near-oblivion.
The Sploof Advantage: Stealth Mode Engaged
Now that your weed sploof is primed for action, let's explore the wondrous advantages it brings to your cannabis escapades:
Odor Neutralization Mastery: Bid farewell to the distinct cannabis scent. Your secret sessions will remain just that – a beautifully guarded secret.
Discreet Indoor Adventures: Whether you dwell in a non-smoking apartment or simply want to keep your cannabis consumption under wraps, the sploof stands as your trusty companion.
DIY Delight on a Budget: No need for expensive air purifiers; the sploof is your cost-effective, homemade hero, crafted with love and frugality.
Is A Sploof Foolproof?
A weed sploof will go a long way to keep odors minimalized, but it's not a 100% effective tool in rendering a room smell-free. You couldn't use one with people in the room and no one would ever know there was weed on the go. They're good, certainly, but they're not a magic bullet. Test it out for yourself by using one and then returning to the room a few minutes later. That will give you an idea of the effectiveness of the sploof. A homemade sploof works wonders, and a manufactured sploof such as the Smokebuddy is even more effective, due to a more sophisticated filtration system. It's best to combine your weed sploof with other means, such as smoke out of an open window. Better still, try some low odor cannabis strains.
How Long Will My Homemade Sploof Last?
How long depends on how often you use it. You don’t make a new sploof for every joint, but it might be worth your while making a new one for every sesh - depending on how often you have a sesh, of course. As a rule of thumb, you should get a couple of sessions out of your homemade sploof, but in the interestes of hygiene, make a new one every 2-3 days. Drying sheets are cheap and toilet paper tubes are ten a penny, so there’s no excuse for not making a new one often.
The Culmination: Inhale the Victory
And there you have it – your golden ticket to stealthier smoke sessions, the weed sploof. Embrace the whimsy of its name, revel in the DIY process, and savor the discreet benefits it bestows upon your cannabis rituals. Weed sploofs work - and they work well. They’re not going to stop the smell 100%, but they can knock a good 80% of that dank aroma, and you can open a window and light a scented candle to take care of the remainder. Bid farewell to the aroma of yesteryear; your home will now smell like a fragrant haven instead of a frat party.
