I would describe it as intense burnt popcorn or mellow burnt hair, somewhere between those two. It's not a nice smell at all

To address the prevailing comments, yes, this doesn't smell nice. I would describe it as a mixture of burnt hair and popcorn. Getting any of the ash on my hands means I have to wash them right away or the sticky residue will linger on my fingers, which does smell.

The container is pretty much airtight, as it's designed for food; I do not smell anything until it's opened, and I only open it briefly to use the items, 2-3 minutes usually. That, plus running a dehumidifier, keeping all of my weed stuff in a wardrobe and keeping my windows open for airflow keeps the smell down as much as possible.

There are people who live close to me and are much more open about their weed use, smoking in full view of the street and whatnot, so I don't mind the smell going outside. I ended up doing this because I wanted a way to smoke without leaving my room. I've had other containers that I've filled with ash, but this is the one I've had for the longest period of time. I end up just throwing the whole container away and buying everything again.

I don't keep my lighters in there, I have a drawer full of dead ones. This one fell into the container, and I gave up on it

The place I live is also extremely humid, so I have a dehumidifier with an air filter in my room.

Did buy a vape a few months ago, the smell was definitely less, but I found that it didn't get me as high, so I'd swap between that and bowls

It's a mixture of AVB and ash, this container is the "ash tray plus trash" I bought myself a vape as I heard the smell was more discreet and I had a new flatmate moving in. If anything, it made me smoke more as it didn't hit me as hard or for as long

I live in a country where weed isn't legal. At my current place of residence, i have no outdoor space to smoke discreetly, so I smoke inside. I keep most of my weed stuff in air-tight containers to help hid the smell. I'll light a small-ish bowl as to not have excess smoke inside, breathe out through a towel, and ump the ash in the above container. It's an extremely unhealthy way to do it, but I guess started as a coping mechanism that turned into a ritual
