Teerless™ Cigarette Filter – Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you're considering trying Teerless™ for the first time or are already a regular user looking to get more from your filter, this FAQ covers the most important questions thoroughly and honestly.
1. What is Teerless™ and how does it work?
Teerless™ is a reusable cigarette filter attachment that significantly reduces the amount of tar delivered per cigarette. It fits onto the filter end of any standard cigarette and uses an activated carbon core derived from coconut shells to adsorb tar particles, fine particulate matter, and gas-phase toxins as smoke passes through. Independent laboratory testing confirms tar reductions of 30–45% compared to smoking without an additional filter.
2. Which cigarettes are compatible with Teerless™?
Teerless™ Standard fits cigarettes with an outer diameter of 7.8–8.2 mm, which covers virtually all regular filter cigarettes and king-size formats. Teerless™ Slim is designed for slim cigarettes (5.3–5.7 mm outer diameter). If you're unsure of your cigarette's diameter, measure the filter tip with a ruler — most regular cigarettes are very close to 8 mm.
3. How do I clean my Teerless™ filter?
Quick clean (after every 4–5 cigarettes): Rinse under warm running water for 20–30 seconds, tap out excess water, allow to air-dry for 2–3 minutes before reuse. Deep clean (once per week): Soak in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 10–15 minutes, rinse thoroughly under cold water, allow to air-dry completely for at least 30–45 minutes before reusing. Never use hot water above 60°C or abrasive cleaning tools.
4. How long does a Teerless™ filter last?
With regular cleaning, a Teerless™ filter lasts approximately 150–200 cigarettes — around 7–10 weeks for a pack-a-day smoker. Replace your filter when airflow remains restricted after cleaning, when the housing develops visible cracks, or when deep staining cannot be removed by the weekly alcohol clean.
5. Will Teerless™ change the taste of my cigarette?
Most users describe the smoke as "cleaner" and "smoother" because the harshest tar compounds are removed. The fundamental flavour profile of your cigarette brand is preserved. A short adjustment period of 2–4 cigarettes is normal as you get used to the slightly different draw.
6. Is Teerless™ made from safe materials?
Yes. The Teerless™ housing is made from BPA-free, food-grade plastic. The filter core uses coconut-shell activated carbon, which is recognised as safe by health authorities in both the EU and USA and is widely used in water purification and pharmaceuticals. The product complies with EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials in contact with food.
7. How much does Teerless™ cost, and where can I buy it?
Teerless™ is available directly at teerless.com/buy. Individual filters cost approximately €8–12 depending on pack size. Free shipping applies to orders over €20 within Germany. We ship to all EU countries, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norway.
8. Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all Teerless™ products. If you are not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days of receiving your order for a full refund. Return shipping within Germany is free.
9. How does Teerless™ compare to TS Teer STOP™?
Both brands target tar reduction using activated carbon filtration technology and achieve comparable performance levels (30–45% tar reduction). Teerless™ features a slightly slimmer housing profile, making it less visible on the cigarette. TS Teer STOP™ is the longer-established brand in our portfolio and tends to be preferred by users already familiar with add-on cigarette filters. For first-time users, both are excellent starting points.
10. Can I use Teerless™ with roll-your-own cigarettes?
Yes, if your roll-your-own cigarette uses a standard filter or filter tube with approximately 8 mm diameter. Teerless™ Standard will fit these formats. For thinner roll-your-own filters, Teerless™ Slim is the better choice. Pure tobacco rolls without a filter tip are not compatible with Teerless™ as there is no stable attachment point.
