anyone using the can filter lites?? i am trying to take some stress off my tent to save piece of mind and noticed these online. It says they only weigh 50 lbs, i was wondering if they work as effective for smell with less carbon.

Can-lite filter

at 50lbs it doesn't sound very "lite" to me.
IMO if you want a good quality, super light filter, these guys are great, half the weight of the others.

you mean half the carbon weight of the other?
Lol. guess what guys, 40 pounds of carbon weighs....40 pounds
why do can filters weigh so much???
because they use more carbon...
Remember, the size of the carbon filter itself means jack shit.
Always rate a carbon filter by how much actual carbon is in them.
Yes, yes, half the Carbon weight, you knew what I meant.
As far as rating a filter by how much carbon is in them, all carbon is not the same, mashing pounds and pounds of low grade pellets into a filter does not make it better IMO.

Im using the Goblin by hydrohut, Its got a 6'' collar and about 16'' long wieghs only about 20-25 pounds total! pretty cheap too, got mine for $75 at the local hydro shop.
Haha, low grade pellets. You really buy into that Phresh marketing eh?
Any decent carbon filter designer will use a carbon pellet that has a lot of surface area...it's that simple. You think phresh is the only one that knows this?
Mashing pounds and pounds of carbon into a carbon filter is EXACTLY what you want to do.
The more carbon, the better. The more surface area and density of the carbon, the better.
You can't compare a 15lb. Phresh filter to a 40 lb. Can filter. Why? Because the Can filter has way more carbon in it. It will thus last longer or scrub a bigger room.
If you really want to compare a Phresh filter to Can, try comparing equal carbon weight filters.
Ohhhhh waitttt. I forgot, Phresh doesn't want to tell you how much carbon is actually in their filters. Oops.
They just throw around "RC-48" "Australian" carbon like that means anything to anybody. Lol, its Australian guys, it must be better.
Reminds me of the Sham-Wow commercials, "It's made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff. "
Tell me what you know about the quality of CKV-4 carbon(can) vs. RC-48 carbon(phresh). I'm willing to bet that you can't come up with anything other than Phresh's marketing schemes.
Here is an interesting read about activated carbon.

You know what I got for you wang?
First hand expierence, the phresh filters I have used that were half the size of can filters, lasted longer, and smelled better at the end of a year when I change them out, then the 60lb can filters I used to use before switching.
The guys looking for a light weight filter for his tent, phresh filters are just that, and from my expeirence using them, they have worked better then the larger filters I used to use.
Not sold on any marketing, just first hand expierence, you can't fake or hype that into something it isn't.

OhHHhhhh so you fail to answer any of my points in my last post and all the sudden you have first hand experience with both can filters and phresh filters. I got it
See, at first I thought you were just copy pasting the marketing lines DIRECTLY from www.phreshfilters.com but now, since you've said that you've had first hand experience with both, I totally believe you
NOT. Good job marketing for phresh, do you work for them or something, because you were almost convincing? No offense. Hey OP, which tent are you using again? If you let us know which tent you are using we can better provide an answer of how much of a carbon filter(regardless of brand) that you really need to scrub that air. Most tents are pretty small so I can't imagine why you would need more than 25 pounds of active carbon. Then again, I've seen some pretty fucking monstrous tents.
No way Jimbo, you must be lying and work for Phresh filters, because wangs opinion is the only one that can be right, lol
Thanks for infering that I'm lying bro, appreciate it.OhHHhhhh so you fail to answer any of my points in my last post and all the sudden you have first hand experience with both can filters and phresh filters. I got it

I was wondering if you were ever going to actually try to help the OP or not.
Have you ever used a phresh filter? Because if not, your the one talking out of your ass with no expierence.
For what the guy wants(a lightweight filter that is still effective) phresh filters are the perfect thing.
Stop trying to piss on other people who are only trying to help when you've offered none of your own till just now, and are simply assuming that since you've been around awhile that you know everything.
Thanks Jimbo for supporting me when I said that phresh filters are good quality and effective.
I don't see anyone saying anything different except wang who's never even used one so how the hell would he know?
Why the hate on phresh? Maybe your the rep from some BS can filter company with your own little agenda
Actually I never said that phresh filters don't work, maybe your reading comprehension needs a little work. POINT ME TO ANYWHERE THAT I HAVE SAID ANYTHING REGARDING PHRESH FILTERS NOT BEING EFFECTIVE OR HIGH QUALITY
I simply called you out on your marketing lies. You still haven't answered my question regarding your "premium" phresh carbon thats so much better than the rest of the carbon thats out there.
Look, I have been helping OP the entire time, we can't ALL be sheep and suck up all the marketing that is out there. If so, we would all be using blacklights and magicalgrow.
See the thing is, you came in here dissing Can filters when you clearly have no knowledge about carbon filters in general, and I'm on a mission to stop marketing sheep like you from overrunning ICmag. Consider it a public duty.
So, please tell me the efficiency of your 10lbs of "premium" Phresh filter carbon (If even that, remember Phresh doesn't like to tell us how much carbon vs. filter weight) vs. 25lbs of "low grade" Can filter carbon. Go ahead, try. Otherwise, just log out and quit trying to spread your marketing.
I'm all for using Phresh carbon filters but the reality is, when comparing Phresh vs. Can, YOU CAN'T(and YOU especially can't because you've never used a can filter, so stop trying), because Phresh won't disclose how much carbon is actually in their filters and they won't tell you how much weight is just the filter itself minus the carbon.
The difference between me and you is; you are trying to sell Phresh filters, whereas I am trying to have people think for themselves for once.
I never said Can filters were awesome or the way to go, I said that 40 pounds of carbon weighs 40 pounds.
"Your" =/= "You're"
Good job wang, is it also your duty to make 4 rambling posts like you invented carbon, and growing, and weed, etc... without making a single suggestion to the OP as to what he might try? Like I did in my very first post.
The first decent quality, light weight filter that I have PERSONALLY used came to mind, so it's what I recommended to him, and then the professor showed up.
Get over yourself

So thinking for yourself is being a "professor". Haha, gotta love that.
By the way, I can't make a suggestion to the OP until we find out which tent he is using, otherwise the suggestion is fucking USELESS.(Just like your suggestion is) It is not about brand, it is about which carbon filter EXACTLY along with which fan EXACTLY. Why don't you stop having sex with your Phresh filter for a second and actually think for once?
You still haven't answered my question. I called you out. Thats right. Four posts later and you STILL can't verify your first, second, or third post. That's because it was bullshit. Just admit it dude.
What are you FOX news? Why don't you fact check for once. Knowledge is power. Stop trying to be a thug and acting like having knowledge is a bad thing
I'd be happy to recommend a phresh filter for the OP along with OTHER brands, as long as I know what his set up is. I'm not just going to come in here start throwing brand loyalty everywhere.
Old thread I know, but I wanted to voice my experience instead of starting a new thread.
My last filter was a 6" Phresh filter, worked fine for about a year which is what I've come to expect from all the filters I've used in the past. A new store in town was selling these Can-lite filters for a good price so I decided to try one out. It only lasted 4 months! The interesting thing is that the 6" Phresh and Can-lite are roughly the same size and weight, but the Phresh filter lasted an entire year. I've replaced my Can-lite with another Can filter but this one is their 'standard' carbon filter and is quite a bit heavier than their Can-lite product. It hung just fine so we'll see how she does.
Overall though, skip the Can-lite products, they simply wont last very long.

I have a 12" can lite and can say they dont work as well as the can 100 or 125. With a can100 and 10" max fan I can only smell freshness outside however with a 4 month old 12" can lite and a 12" can fan I can smell some funk outside. Going to change it after this cycle!!

This thread got de-railed as hell. Anyone use these? I don't know why they'd release an inferior product and make claims that it's actually better than their standard line. I wanted one filter that I could run a max of 300cfm through, and in my stooper got sold a can-lite 6" (600cfm max). Now, even if that cfm# is embellished I'll still be pulling much slower through it exhausting. Light weight was a selling point, 20# is cool.. it's a 2" bed depth vs traditional can filters of 2.5" - that's not an overly significant difference?
I too want to not stress my tent as much as possible and am trying to replace two 2 year old smaller can filters that should never see over 150cfm exhausting combined.
