Not using. Have you seen the price of them?
Are you talking about the ones that you put in the tree or in the stand with you or the ones that you use to keep the clothes scent free at home?

I'm pretty convinced that they work.. Enough so that I bought my taxidermist used one when he upgraded. I get winded way too much on my food plot. Even when I think the wind is right the wind comes over a set of pines and I think it swirls and curls then.
I've got a small plug in ozone generator in my truck and it has lessened the smell in there.

I believe they work as well. I don't care what you do you can never make yourself 100% scent free.

Did you guys ever think about showering and washing your cloths? Oldspice doesn't make an earth scented bodywash yet. Did you ever think that's common knowledge ? I'm willing to bet the vast majority of us do. |

I think it's all about scent reduction. Anything you can do to reduce your human scent parts per million is likely a step in the right direction.

Like many things in the scent control industry, I know guys that use them and swear by them and I know guys that bought them and swear @ them. I've just never been able to justify spending that kind of money on something I've heard and read too many conflicting opinions about.
I still use the "old school" methods of washing my clothes in scent free detergent w/o brighteners and storing them in scent free containers. I never wear my boots anywhere but where I hunt and store them in a scent free container as well. Same goes for my backpack.
In the end I've found that limiting my scent by keeping myself and my clothes clean and playing the wind works as well as anything I've tried.

I'll be using my smoker again next year...
But yes, I believe ozone likely eliminates scent particles.

I ordered a small ozone Generator to use in a closet for my hunting clothes and in my vehicle. Yes I will still wash in scent and uv free detergent. Shower with scent free soap, scent free deodorant and all the other scent reducing methods I follow on a regular basis. I wanted to try adding the ozone for the extra scent reduction.

Should have waited until people started heating with wood. Lucky for me the land owner of the place I hunt uses a big outdoor wood burner for heat and hot water so the deer are use to smelling smoke all year round. If I so choose to go that route at any time, which I did try it last season, I can at any time. |

I think it all helps, I have a 30 dollar ozone thingofabob I use about once a year. I only wash my outer hunting clothes once a year, in other words use the wind to hunt. I killed 2 does and two bucks last season without any real scent control and the deer had no idea I was in the area. Folks been killing deer for hundreds of years without any scent control, just the wind.

I have a old Log brand or something I run a cord to my truck and it runs for a time after hunts during hunting season...also have a small batter powered one in truck but batteries die all the time so gonna get the cigarette lighter variation to emit some ozone whenever on. I noticed without a doubt scent lessoned in my truck...still don't wear my hunting clothes or boots inside my truck cab.
As for the Ozonics, those things are just plain salty in price. No doubt will assist in lessoning your scent stream but I can't justify it. I'll keep doing everything else I can to mitigate or eliminate my scent. Pops is thinking of getting one though...I'll use him as a guinea pig LOL!

While I can't afford the big ozonics unit I can afford a small one like the scentlok enforcer, which is what I ordered to use in a tote or closet and my vehicles.

I use the Log6 like tynimiller. Works awesome on boots and base layers when you're on a multi-day hunt without a washing machine. Really helps with cutting down the odor quickly.

Just avoid breathing the ozone in confined spaces, as it can cause health issues.
