5 Expert Tips for Getting the Most from Your TARMIN™ Filter
Tip 1: Insert the Filter Snugly but Not Too Tight
The TARMIN™ filter should fit comfortably into your cigarette without gaps. A loose fit reduces filtration efficiency by up to 40%, while an excessively tight fit restricts airflow. Aim for a firm, consistent connection every time.
Tip 2: Replace After 5–6 Cigarettes
Each TARMIN™ filter is designed for 4–6 cigarettes in optimal conditions. You'll know it's time to replace when the filter starts showing visible discolouration or airflow decreases noticeably. Don't push beyond the recommended limit.
Tip 3: Store Filters in a Cool, Dry Place
Activated carbon is hygroscopic — it absorbs moisture from the air. Storing your TARMIN™ filters in a humid environment reduces their adsorption capacity. Keep them in the original packaging or an airtight container.
Tip 4: Don't Inhale More Aggressively
Some users smoke harder when using a filter, which can actually increase tar inhalation volume. Smoke at your natural pace — TARMIN™'s filtration works optimally at normal airflow rates.
Tip 5: Pair with Reduced-Tar Cigarettes for Maximum Benefit
Combining TARMIN™ with low-tar cigarettes creates a compounding reduction effect. Users report up to 75% less visible tar residue when using this combination compared to standard cigarettes with no filter.
