Activated Coconut Charcoal Filters (Zamnesia)

Questions & Answers

🔒 Why is my charcoal filter clogging up?

Temperature is responsible for your charcoal filter clogging up. Essentially it's the heat of the smoke mixing with the coldness of the charcoal filter. This leads to the humidity and smoke becoming condensed before filtration. To avoid this, be sure to preheat your charcoal filter before use.

♻️ Can you reuse charcoal filters?

Absolutely. Compared to cardboard, charcoal filters last longer. However, while they can filter out harmful substances, their ability to do so will diminish over time, so it's not ideal to continually keep reusing charcoal filters. As a rule of thumb, use them a couple of times before switching them out for a new one.

🥥 Why coconut charcoal instead of regular charcoal?

Activated charcoal produced from the coconut shell has a micropore structure that can deal with small air and gas molecules efficiently—making it the ideal choice for a filtration device. In contrast, regular charcoal has larger macro pores, which, in turn, allows larger molecules to pass through.
