VaporTek Optimum 4000 - Growroom Designs & Equipment - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I've read a little here and there about VaporTek Optimum 4000. Some people say it's the best device for odor control. How does it work? Does it fill the air with some smell? How big garden can you cover with one of these?

Here are some links I found in Rez's forum:
https://vaportek.com
https://www.growhere.com/airpurification/optimum4000.htm

I don't see any electric cords in the pictures. Does it need electricity? If so does it work with European electric sockets or do they have a different model for Europe?

Hi Sala,

I'm at the moment doing exntensive research into the Vaportek unit, and after a few exchanges of pms with Rez, I've decided that its a must have. It is electrical, and it works with a cartridge filled with a blend of natural essential oils and stuff which neutralizes the odor. The 4000 covers all of 2000 sq. ft. (or 300 cubic meters) which is a LARGE space. In smaller grow ops I believe its the only thing you need for odor control :wink:

The problem is the European distribution,at least as far as Italy goes. The distributor here sells the 4000 unit for over €460,00 which is highway robbery. You have to write to the Vaportek people (the info email) and ask them to point you to a distributor in your city. They'll forward your email and the distributor will contact you directly.

Personally, I'm now looking into purchasing the unit from a US or Canadian based webstore and using a current adaptor. I've written to Vaportek asking for the tech specs and to confirm that the unit can be used with a converter. I'm waiting for an answer on that. IMO it saves a lot of money. You can buy the unit also from the Sensi Seed shop online, but it costs €289,00 or around there, much more than the US$150 - 170 retail I see people in the States paying for it. The models you'll find in Europe are 220V, made for European electrical standards. Hope this has been of help!

I got one for my last grow to replace the ozone and it worked great. A setting of 4 was plenty to cover my 2000w grow (with some pretty smelly strains). It produces a smell that covers up everything very well. The only drawback is the price of replacing cartridges, but in my opinion it's worth the cost.

Two thumbs up!

hi. here's a UK supplier.
should have the correct cordage.
Ponics website

190.00 GBP = 280.652 EUR<<todays exchange.

you want to mount it as high up in the grow as possible.

There I go talking again .. all I needed to do was look

Still way too much Sleepy. Can be had for cheaper through the US/Canada channels, provided the current converter works with it. If I come across some good links I'll post them. :smile:
