Middle of nowhere, MO
actually bought 2 stinky phones. got a broke 3g and a perfect hd2. got the 3g fixed and both are ready for ebay with one problem... they smell like burning leaves. like in the high school parking lot burning leaves. i don't think i want to put '420 friendly iphone' as my posting title.

soooooo, does anyone know how to get pot smell off a phone? i've tried opening them up (screen off, batt cover off hd2, etc) sitting under stove hood with the fan on for 2 days... i let them sit in the garage to absorb some manly car fluid odors... last night i put them in a bag with a couple dryer sheets, now they smell like april fresh pot.

i'm out of ideas!
 
My first suggestion would be to smoke them with wood chips. (for fun.)

Second suggestion would be to give them a nice rubbing alcohol bath, then let them dry out.
 
just out them in a shoebox with a box baking soda inside also. It might help.

If not just just include a free pack of ez-widers and sell to peeps that would not mind.
