Bought a used Atomic B2 and SSI this weekend. Great condition, breathes great. Taking it to LDS for complete checkout before diving with it.
The only downside was the previous owner was a smoker, so it has a bit of smokey stink. I'm throwing out the mouthpiece AND low pressure hose. I know not to use an ozone generator as some plastics may weaken.But I'm not sure of the best, safe method to help reduce the smell. Here are my ideas:

- Soak in diluted vinegar bath for 24h. Maybe I should remove the internals first?
- Soak in baking soda bath for 24h.
- Place in sealed container with dry baking soda, a few days.
- Place in sealed container with activated charcoal, a few days.
- Place in sealed container with baking soda AND activated charcoal for a few days.
- Soak in a solution of Sent Killer (enzyme wash used for hunting clothing) for a couple of hours.
