After I viewed the YouTube link, I looked at related videos and found that a few people make "somewhat HEPA" air purifiers using 20-inch box fans and high-quality 20x20 furnace filters taped over the fan grill. The fans run around $20, the filters vary in price with their rated effectiveness. Might be a good year-round solution that doesn't require snaking a dryer-vent hose out the window. (I may make one of these at some point for the office in my new apartment, possibly with a simple wooden enclosure hiding the works and providing rails for the filter to slide into.)
While I was on YouTube I also saw something that might be useful for increasing RH in a garage, man-cave or other enclosed smoking shelter: an old-fashioned swamp cooler, using the same sort of box fan. (Or make a combination unit, with filter on one side of the fan and cooling mat on the other.) In winter you might want to run it on low speed 24/7, so it humidifies the air without make the room a lot colder than it already is; during a hot summer, crank it up on high speed.
