We’ve all been there—you’re vibing and ready to spark up, but you need to keep things discreet. Whether you’re trying to mask the smell from nosy neighbors, strict roommates, or just keeping it low-key, a sploof is your best friend. This simple DIY device helps filter and reduce the smell of weed smoke, letting you enjoy your session without the lingering funk.
Making one is easy, cheap, and effective, and you probably have everything you need lying around. Let’s break it down.
What Is a Sploof? 🤔
A sploof is basically a homemade smoke filter that traps odors when you exhale. Instead of blowing straight into the air and letting the room smell like a hotbox, you exhale through the sploof, and it filters out the weed smell. The result? Fresher air and less suspicion.
Think of it as a budget-friendly smoke deodorizer—but one you can craft yourself in just a few minutes.
How Does a Sploof Work? 🌀
The idea is simple:
- You take a hit →
- You exhale into the sploof →
- The air gets filtered through absorbent material →
- Less weed smell escapes
Most sploofs use dryer sheets, activated carbon, or HEPA filters to trap the odor molecules, leaving your exhale smelling fresh instead of dank.
DIY: How to Make a Sploof with Household Items 🛠️
What You’ll Need:
✔️ Empty toilet paper or paper towel roll (the base of your sploof)
✔️ Dryer sheets (the key odor-killing ingredient)
✔️ Rubber band or tape (to secure everything)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ Pack the Tube: Stuff 3–5 dryer sheets inside the toilet paper roll. Don’t jam them in too tight—air still needs to pass through.
2️⃣ Seal the End: Take another dryer sheet and stretch it over one end of the tube. Secure it with a rubber band or tape.
3️⃣ Test It: Take a hit, blow the smoke through the open end, and enjoy the fresh scent of dryer sheets instead of loud weed smoke.
That’s it! Simple, effective, and at no extra cost.
Upgraded Sploof: Using a Plastic Bottle 🔥
If you want something more durable, swap the cardboard tube for a plastic bottle.
How to Make It:
🔹 Cut the bottom off a plastic bottle
🔹 Fill it with dryer sheets or activated charcoal for extra filtration
🔹 Secure the end with a thick dryer sheet or a HEPA filter
🔹 Exhale through the mouthpiece for even better odor control
Best Materials for a Sploof 🔬
While dryer sheets work, some materials filter even better:
| Material | Effectiveness | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dryer Sheets | ⭐⭐⭐ | Easy to find, smells fresh | Doesn’t remove all the smoke smell |
| Activated Charcoal | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Absorbs odor better than dryer sheets | Harder to find, needs a solid container |
| HEPA Filters | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Captures particles & removes odor | More expensive, harder to DIY |
| Cotton Balls & Baking Soda | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Natural odor absorber, budget-friendly | Can get messy inside the sploof |
If you’re looking for maximum stealth, activated charcoal is the way to go. You can find it at pet stores (for fish tanks) or in air purifier filters.
Sploof Tips & Tricks 🧠
✔️ Change Dryer Sheets Regularly – A sploof only lasts so long before it gets clogged with smoke. Swap out dryer sheets after a few sessions.
✔️ Blow Slow, Not Hard – A slow, steady exhale lets the sploof do its job. Blowing too hard can force smoke out the sides.
✔️ Pair It with Ventilation – Even with a sploof, open a window or run a fan for extra airflow.
✔️ Store It Right – Keep your sploof in a sealed plastic bag between uses so it doesn’t just sit there absorbing stale smoke.
Do Sploofs Really Work? 🤷
A basic sploof with dryer sheets can help reduce the weed smell, but it won’t make it disappear completely. If you need serious stealth, upgrade to a charcoal-based sploof or buy a commercial smoke filter like a Smoke Buddy.
For small sessions in an apartment or dorm, a homemade sploof can definitely help keep the smell on the down low.

FAQs
How effective are sploofs?
Sploofs are effective at reducing cannabis smoke odor, but they won’t eliminate it. They’re best used in conjunction with other odor-control methods.
How long does a homemade sploof last?
A basic sploof with dryer sheets lasts about 5–10 sessions before needing a refill. If activated charcoal is used, it can last weeks before replacement.
Can I use a sploof for vape smoke?
Yes, but vapor is less pungent than smoke, so a sploof may not be necessary. If used, it helps reduce the scent even more.
Do store-bought sploofs work better than DIY ones?
Yes, commercial filters like Smoke Buddy or Sploofy use activated carbon and HEPA filters, making them more effective than a dryer sheet sploof.
Can I make a sploof without dryer sheets?
Yes, alternatives include cotton balls with baking soda, activated charcoal, or HEPA filters for better filtration.
Can I reuse dryer sheets in a sploof?
No, once dryer sheets lose their scent, they become less effective. Swap them out regularly for the best results.
Will a sploof work for cigarette or cigar smoke?
Partially. It helps with reducing tobacco odor, but cigar smoke is much thicker and harder to filter completely.
