Will this help with the smell of acetylene gas? I want to solder in my room and worry the smell will fill whole house.

It is made to filter lead plume on the bench so it is for close work. I am afraid this would not do what you want unless it is small work, and yet it is not made to clean odors. A room air filter might do that if it is not to big a job. Sorry.

Of course the lit substance will smell. I am sure this cuts down on the smell of the exhale.

Maybe a little bit. Nothing that stands out, although you will want ventilation regardless. Whatever propellant it uses is probably not good for you. Plus, you will want acetone to break it down and that smells like strong nail-polish remover.There is definitely no odor after it dries.

I would have no idea. I do know that it does pull solder fumes through the unit very well.

We used these last summer in our tent under our four yound kids. It help up well, we didn't notice an odor, but we didn't go camping very many times. We have so 've then used them in our garage under the kids swinging rings, and the connecting part is still holding well. Hope that helps!

In my experience yes, I sprayed my closet with ozium because my friends were smoking marijuana and the smell of the ozium didn't travel into my living room. This product works great for small spaces but the smell will travel allittle

It may help with smell if you could "rig" it. Yet you really would want a hepa based system because particles are too small for just plain carbon. I use the carbon in my hepa system.

Nope. The smell was probably from the electronic components on the inside. Mine finally burned out & I replaced the power supply diodes. (I have an electronic background) For a less than industrial grade cleaner this little fellow has given me my money worth. Over a thousand cycles. However it is not sturdy enough to handle extended high time settings. The liquid should get hot, but I think this is the problem for the circuit board; Insufficient cooling on the inside to vent the heat away from the circuit board. I installed a micro pancake cooling fan & have had no further problems on any setting. If you have a friend that is electronic savy this is a simple & cheap modification. Hope this helps Nope.

In my experience, no ionizer can FULLY eliminate that kind of smoke (I am also extremely sensitive to it). However, if the smoke smell is very fresh, it might help quite a bit to clear it up and prevent it from becoming permanent, although it may not fully take care of it. If you are trying to remove the odor from an item or a piece of furniture that has had long-term exposure, it will give only minor relief, although it can help a little under those circumstances. Depending on what you are trying to air out, you might benefit more fully from a full-sized ionizer, although this personal unit comes in handy in areas where you need it to be very portable, and/or you are unable to connect to AC power. (I like having both, according to the needs and circumstances of the moment.)

i'm not sure. we use this in the shoe closet to neutralize and as well as near pet areas. smoke smell is often absorbed into fabrics of clothes or furniture, i do not believe it could help with that. perhaps an air cleaner that filters the air and circulates cleaner air in the room? we have one and it works well, especially when cooking.

My husband and I are extremely sensitive to smells and neither of us had an issue with this product. If you want to play it safe I would suggest taking it out of the plastic bag and air it for a couple of days.

Yes, gas station kerosene will work. If the kerosene is real low grade you might just need a new wick sooner. High grade kerosene will keep the smell down and keep the wick lasting.

I had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days

It will help only if you are using the TF30-MP Odor Cell Filter" (The Top End Of the Filters) for the T-300. Unfortunately you are dealing with solvents which really require "Major" air circulation vented "OUT" of the house first.

We used it in an open room---it heated a living room and kitchen made it very comfortable.. there wasn't any smell till it got close to running out of fuel. We really loved it. Don't know if this will help you if not I can try to give you more info.

Not really-I just used it and after reading your question I had to go back in the kitchen to see if I smelled anything. The answer was no, but I had been cooking. If there is an odor it is so minimal that it just isn't an issue.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.
