My brand used DROID reeks of cigarette smoke, what to do?

Greetings,

Frequent stalker, first time poster.

Just bought a used DROID that just screams smoker. The screen no longer smells but when first investigating (After I purchased, spare the lecture about sniffing a possible new phone before purchasing) even the battery stunk.

I've tried alcohol wipes, just pure hand santitizer all over it, left it in a ziploc with dryer sheets for 18+ hours, nothing is fully getting rid of it.

Any suggestions? :motdroidvert:

return it id say.

Uh well, that's not an option. I've already ported over to Page Plus and am enjoying my $29.95 plan too much to lose it.

Febreeze or a Scratch and Sniff Hard Shell Case

How does Page Plus deal with data? I thought the max they have is like a 20MB plan? Do you just use Wifi then? What does $29.95 buy you for a month?

the 29.95 plan gives you 1200 minutes and 1200 texts then 50mb of data. If you go over that data its something like 1.20 per mb.

this wouldnt work for me as i average between 50-150 mb a day so id be broke in no time.

dishwasher on pots and pan cycle.

only thing I can come up with is a ziplock bag filled with coffee beans.

you must have a super nose. As a smoker mine barely works.

you could try this but you would have to go about 4 days without a phone while it dries out and theres no guarantee it will get all the smell out of the phone and it involves submerging the phone completely in alcohol
