    Okay so recently I found a need to smoke indoors, and with this need comes the need for a smoke filter as well. I didnt want to go bootlegged, because I am not a fan of ghetto smoking equipment. So I made something out of high quality pvc that i got from ace hardware, and painted it black and white. This build will filter a significant amount of smell and plant matter out of the smoke, giving one the ability to smoke indoors.
     
    So here goes.
    These are the materials you will need:
     
    1.) Piece of PVC tube (this type is sold as one piece)
               I should say beforehand that this piece should be all white. I painted mine thats why a part of it is black. I bought this piece at ace hardware right where the pvc fittings are. it should be about 3$. If you cant get this piece, get a tube of pvc and cap the ends and drill holes.

    2.) Shower drain piece.
                **WHEN PICKING OUT THE DRAIN PIECE, IT WILL FIT OVER THE RUBBER GROMMET ON THE UNSCREWED END OF THE PVC. THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW WHICH SIZE PVC TO PICK OUT.**

    3.) Dryer Sheets
     
    4.) Rather large socket
                   This will be used to pack the active carbon in the PVC.
     
    5.) Active Carbon
                 The best place to get this is Petco, they sell it for aquarium filters.
     
     
    FIRST STEP:
    Okay. First, grab your pvc piece and unsrew one end. Remove the rubber grommet and place two small square sheets of dryer sheet over the end, and replace the grommet so that the dryer sheet is pushed into the PVC. Screw the end back on so that the dryer sheets are secure. Flip it over.

    SECOND STEP:
    Start pouring your washed activated carbon into the PVC. Once you have about 2" of carbon, start packing it in by putting the socket into the end of the PVC and hammering down. Repeat until full.

    THIRD STEP:
    When you have filled and packed the carbon into the PVC, place a dryer sheet on top and place the drain piece upside down on the end of the grommet, on top of the dryer sheet covering the grommet.

    FOURTH STEP:
    Screw the end cap on, and take a fair amount of time circulating air through the filter, to get rid of any carbon impurities before you start using the smoking tool.

    FIFTH STEP:
    Paint that shit.
     
    BTW: you should always blow through the end with the drain piece.
    Thanks everyone. Any questions, go ahead and comment.
