  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I picked one of these up to make my smoking a bit more tolerable for the girlfriend and I modified it to work for cigars. It comes with one rest for a cigar but it's useless as is. I cut out 2 sides of the inner ring and one of the dividers in a cigarette slot. Then I put 2 layers of fine and super fine wire mesh over the fan so the ashes do not fall into the unit. It's quiet and no smoke gets out. The dome that goes over the top isn't used (by me). So far so good and it's only $14 and comes with 6 extra charcoal filters through one of the Amazon vendors. http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Smokeless-Ashtray-Bonus-Filters/dp/B0025UJVVW/ref=pd_sim_hpc_4

Seems pretty cool.

Now if you can somehow engineer this into something like Bane's mask from the latest Batman, then maybe my wife wouldn't mind me smoking in the house, lol.

Well obviously there's still a large amount coming from the exhale so I doubt she'll be joining you anytime soon. I only bought this so we can sit out together while on vacation in a couple weeks. I smoke her out at home.

Does anyone know what size the wire mesh is that we are calling "fine" and "super fine" in this application? I know a little something about this material and was wondering if some 100 x 100 (100 wires per inch) would be fine enough to use? Also - is it stainless steel material? Or does this not matter.

Found more information and pricing about this wire mesh material here:
