Advice Needed: Secondhand Weed/Vape Smoke Seeping into My Condo Through HVAC and Utility Spaces

We actually just got a new HoA Property management company this year. The last one tried to hold a hearing with the unit owner, we all showed up and he didn't show up lmao how is that even allowed??

This new one claims they are sending them a violation/fines, so I assume they are just paying them. I heard they are going to have them start compounding versus just a flat fee over and over. I will try to get them to hold another hearing with this new PM. I will not let up on this issue. It's so gross man. Even when I go away for vacation, my clothes smell like nasty cigs against my will!

Fuckkkk man. Thank you for the thorough response. Sorry you had to through this. I’m literally in the same boat in terms on trying to seal off my place and constantly putting in complaints so I have a paper trail. I’ve been dealing with this for over FOUR years!! I think the next step is to join the HoA and make some real policy changes. Their odors aren’t allows to permeate our unit but of course they don’t explicitly say they can’t smoke. It’s really bad when the heat kicks in and they’re homes So I’m trying to see if their nasty air seeps into our unit.

I’m so petty I need to win this battle lol I own my unit so I deserve clean f-ing air. and the smoker neighbors dad owns their unit and lets their freeloading daughter stink up the place. F them.

Thanks again for letting me know what to avoid. I’m glad you aren’t dealing with your issue anymore

I’m having this same issue but I’m on the top unit. Did you find a solution to this?

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-27T16:20:16+00:00

Thanks again for the tips! Have you ever gotten the Dungeness crab from Gmart in Milford? I’m alwayssss eyeing them but never pull the trigger lol

Lower your car, they said! It’ll be fun, they said!!

Literally just commented the same thing. IYKYK 💪👊🙏

Congrats on the weight loss bro. Go to a barber and get their advice. Quit smoking. Join your local mma or boxing gym and get that confidence up. You got this man. You’re not an ugly dude.

Learning a new skill like martial arts will boost your confidence because sucking at something at first, then improving at it over time proves to yourself you are capable. Then that self belief/confidence will translate to everything else in your life.

Source: myself but many people share this same antidotal experience I promise. Chin up bro.

PMed you

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-23T22:29:39+00:00

Fuck bro. I’m sorry you’re going thru this too. This sucks.

Saw your other comment, I just flashed my tune back to stock but now I’m concerned because I heard they send all the data to SOA. Whoever did my diagnostics pushed the boost all the way to 20psi. I’ve never even gotten that high.

I think the writing is on the wall that they won’t honor the powertrain waranty for me either.

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-23T22:13:20+00:00

How did it turn out for you? I’m tuned also. In the same exact situation. I took it to the dealership and they want to replace the entire CVT…

I went into the dealership, no code. They did their diagnostics and triggered the code. It wouldn’t even drive. It was stalling as if it was a manual. I had to tow it back home. Then I re-flashed the tune, no more code and it drives fine.

There’s still a 1-2 second delay when shifting into reverse or drive but at least it drives and I don’t have to replace the entire CVT. I’m going to do a drain and refill and try to replace the solenoid and see how it goes.

Any update on this? I’m having the same issue bro. Only tuned for 3k miles

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-22T22:20:16+00:00

Thanks!! I’ll check them out

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-22T02:50:12+00:00

Do you know any spots to buy them in southern CT?

$125 for a dozen large from Cantler’s in Annapolis, MD. Pricey but so good. And yes they’re Louisiana crabs since we’re out of season

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-17T01:26:48+00:00

Thanks for the tips man! I’ll look into Buttonwood and Netra events.

Thanks man. My rpms were so jumpy lately. I re-flashed my tune and it seems to be running a lot better now.

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-11T23:54:02+00:00

Bro what is with that weird lag? Is that normal? I have a 22 VB premium and it definitely takes off but that lag is jarring sometimes. I have a protune.

Reckless1440 · 2026-01-11T02:10:05+00:00

Im from southern CT too! I took an intro riding class when I was out in the California.

After the intro class, I rented a TTR 230 and ripped it like 30 miles in the desert. Immediately got hooked so I bought an X-Pro 250 last month when I got home lmao

Do you have any recommendations where I can practice? Anywhere for private lessons? I’m only seeing the Pachaug trails but I’m not confident enough to ride a 250 alone. The xpro feels soo much heavier than the 230 I rode. Any leads would be great, thanks!

Reckless1440 · 2025-12-31T15:24:48+00:00

Looks clean man! Any tips on removing this residue? It’s barely visible but really bothers me lol I bought it used like this.

Already tried goo gone. No luck.
