Overview:
9.8/10
​
This is a "WINNING" smell proof bag. This is the first time I have ever used a charcoal lined bag. I love it, and after a few months it is still going strong! Mars Hydro even took a few of my recommendations to change the bag layout to add the lighter and paper pockets. Way to go Mars Hydro!
Mars Hydro Smell Proof Bag
Highlights:
​
How will this product help you?
Depending where you live, Cannabis can be an Illegal substance. Prevention of smell is key with this product. Where I am it is 100% legal. This product removes the smell factor when out and about.
​
Why will you want this product?
Have you ever been around someone with a strong smell of cannabis? Did they just smoke or are they carrying around an ounce of it? If it's the latter of the two, Why should they (or you?) I consider the smell of cannabis quite distracting. I personally want to maintain professionalism in public and at home. I do not want to smell of it, nor should you! Unless of course if you are consuming it!
​
What will this product will bring to YOUR garden?
Ok, so this doesn't quite apply to "your garden" but it does apply to your harvest after the fact. While in public, this can be a distraction to many. Some person(s) may call the cops even if it is the slightest hint of smell and they assume right away you are a criminal. If your medicinal this is just a waste of everyone's time and money. So why not just prevent it and invest in this product. It will cost you a few dollars but dealing with cops can sometimes be a hindrance and if you say the wrong thing can indite you.

Smell Proof Bag (10.5''x6''x0.8'') 27x15x2cm-Mars Hydro
Firstly, I measured it to be 11"x6"x0.8". Unless mine is a One off, it is 0.5" off. - NOT A BAD THING!
I received this as a tester gift from Mars Hydro.
Although it does not fit 100% with gardening (my normal reviews), it can hold products grown in your garden. If you don't know Mars Hydro is a large company that produces LED lights. These are designed for Growing indoor fruits, veggies and flowers.
This is solely an accessory; not needed but a nice addition if you plan on going anywhere public.
Amount of time to review this product: Approximately 1 month and going, I will update around the 3rd month and finally 6th.
Shipping: This item came to my door rather quickly. I had no clue what it was when I received it (100% Discreet).
Segment Score: (10/10)
Packaging: The packaging was perfect. It was packaged in three layers of plastic preventing loss of use of the activated charcoal until open on the users end. (Sorry I didn't take unboxing pics!).
Segment Score: (10/10)
Initial Thought(s): This usually costs $30.44 CAD or $22.99 US at today's exchange rate / price. It is inexpensive for such a well crafted item. It is double Velcro sealed; should work well!
Short/Long term usage: Unless you are opening it everyday (I do not), you should expect it to last a very VERY long time, Mine is still as though I had just opened it's packaging! If you do open it on a daily basis, it should still last you at minimum six months. The Velcro is of superb quality and I do not see it failing easily.
Segment Score: (10/10)
Info/Notes: Activated Charcoal lined walls (Effective for 6 months per their website), Waterproof outside walls (Cannot be washed)
-1 point.
I wish there was a compartment(s) to refill the charcoal to extend it's effective use or have some sort of liner that could be replaced.
Segment Score: (9/10)
Tests:
1) I placed 1 oz weed in a standard zip lock bag to see if "normal" storage works well. (Our legal cannabis comes in plastic containers)
2) Ran this product under tap water to see if it would absorb any.
3) I also left the zip lock bag of cannabis open in the bag for a night; after the smell proof bag was opened, I could smell some, but not while closed. (it absorbs the smell from inside)
Result: I could NOT Smell anything (Minus when it was an open bag of cannabis)! The water did NOT get soaked into the bag. (Note: Ensure the Velcro is WELL SEALED)
Segment Score: (10/10)
Effectiveness: Wow! This is all I can say for this product! I love it! I even brought it to one of my friends to show them. I handed it to them and said "guess whats in it". They had no clue.
Segment Score: (10/10)
Pro(s): Very effective at what it does.
Keeps everything well organized for someone like myself.
Great for outings, vacations etc (where legal / medicinal)
It can be used for anything with a smell. Not just cannabis!
Con(s): Other than having to replace approximately every six months (or until it starts to smell).
Recommendations/Ideas for Mars Hydro:
I would like to see 1 or 2 pockets inside to store a pipe or papers.
I would like to see "replaceable" packets (or inserts) to lengthen the life of the bag!
Overview: I really enjoy this product, I fully intend to buy one when this one does decide to fail on me. It will happen in time, but until then smoke on!
