Hi there! 👋 mom of twin babies here, I have been through a few humidifiers! Question, do you have your own office, or are you in a cubicle?

Here are a few things:

1. Cool mist humidifiers make your space clammy, and they push out a stream of “vapor”, which for you might work out bc you could point it towards yourself. They can breed bacteria, and the ones I have used all leaked all over my table, so beware. Whatever one you end up using, put it in a shallow bowl so that if it does leak, it doesn’t short circuit your computer.
   
2. If you get cold in your office, I suggest a warm mist humidifier.
   
3. If you have more space on your floor in your own office, I suggest the best reviewed humidifier listed below. It doesn’t mist which is nice, it has a UV filter to kill any bacteria (usually have to change out once a season, WELL worth it compared to the cool mist ones that break and you have to clean all the time). It also helps circulate air, and you can put tap water instead of distilled water. The other ones require distilled. (I still put Brita filtered water in mine). You could put in on the floor, next to your office plant or something. It has three settings as wel. I figure if you’re going to really get a humidifier, do it right. I’m also not worried about this one leaking all over everything. This is the one we have in our house, though I’m looking for a warm one too.
   Hope this helps!
   Honeywell Humidifier on Amazon
   
   P.S this is not a cute little small thing, it’s BIG, but you can put it on your floor. I would suggest this or something like this one.

Haha...check out the #1 new release in statues.

I have one thats rated for down to 41 degrees. I had to use it extensively on the place I just moved into. It had leaks all over that I had to fix up to bring down the humidity (I live in a very rainy city, and when I moved in, it was at 75% humidity inside with the temp at 50 degrees. Not good.) I had it running, with no heat on in the house, constantly, for the first month. During the night it was dropping to about 48-50 degrees in the house and I had zero problems. I've gotten it down to 35% humidity in here and have been able to completely manage the mold problems that were beginning to form in the house.

Now, all that being said, I can't recommend it as BIFL simply because, well, I've only had it a few months. The other problem is, this is technically an older model, and the newer model from the same company is not rated for down to 41 degrees, which is why I purchased the older model to begin with.

Here is the Amazon link to the dehumidifier in question:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UWP07LK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

There's definitely negative reviews in there. The two main things to remember with this model is that it has an internal filter with an oil with a very low viscosity in it, meaning if it has been on its side, or turned over, or anything, you need to stand it up right for like a week before to start it up, to ensure that the oil is in the proper place and doesn't end up killing the unit (the result of many bad reviews.). The other is people complaining that it drips all over their floor. In my experience, if you mis-install the bucket, you can get a leak, and when you remove the bucket, if there is still water draining, it WILL drip, drip, drip into a little reservoir, but that fills up fast, and then will drip onto the floor. Basically, you just have to take your time with this thing and not expect to set it up in five minutes after getting it in the mail and expecting it to be perfect without ever looking at it again.

It's really a great dehumidifier if you pay attention to it and are patient with it. Once again, the main reason I am suggesting it is because of my success at running it at low temperatures. I am not suggesting that this model is BIFL considering I have not owned it long enough to call it that.

Good luck!

PRAISE KEK!

My roommate and I already have box fans, and I also bought this hefty beast to clean the air: Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BeuRBbY39TWP3

Ok, here goes. I had a similar problem except no one was complaining, I was simply fogging up the entire house. I got one of these and put it in the corner of my desk, I blow the vapor towards it and it kills 90% of the vapor. This is chain vaping at 150w on dual claptons so I think it could work wonders for your lower power setup.

I'm worried about brake dust too. I made a thread about it asking for air purifier advice.

Here's what I've learned.

Plants help.

The cheapest option seems to be taping a furnace filter to a box fan.

and there's a looooot of expensive options:

Panasonic, Dreval, RabbitAir, Coway...

[Here's one that claims to filter at an astronomically small scale.]
(https://molekule.com/technology) I don't know if I believe it.

This one's still on Kickstarter. It claims to vaporize particles.

Here's a vacuum that wants to help too.

And here's an article that talks about and compares air purifiers.

I used this when i was living alone in my apartment. I never had any issues with lingering food smells.

Winix 5300-2 Air Purifier with True HEPA, PlasmaWave and Odor Reducing Carbon Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8DAYBA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-JJDDb2Z31H8S

One of these is fucking magical. I have one in my Liberty Fatboy and it's been awesome.

I couldn't be happier with the Coway 1512. Now when I wake up I can breathe with both nostrils! The lowest speed is basically silent unless your head is 1 foot from the device. I leave it on auto which is cool because it senses particles in the air and temporarily goes to higher speeds until the air is clear again. Funnily enough, if you fart near it, it will detect that and spin up. It also pretty thoroughly eliminates odor in general.

My only complaints are:

1. The only 3rd party filter I've found for it has bad reviews so you're generally stuck with the first party filters which can seem expensive but they last a long time so it's not terrible
   
   
2. When I moved across the country, the fan became unbalanced which made the device loud. Personally I blame the movers since they broke/lost a bunch of my stuff but that still does indicate a failure mode of the device.
   
   
3. The light on the top is a fucking flood light that will blind people up to 5 miles away. I taped over it.
   
   
   If I had a magic wand and could make one change to this device I'd want washable hepa filters but from what I've read, washable hepa filters don't exist at all so its not a shortcoming of this specific device.
   
   Finally, I'm not affiliated with them and benefit in no way from this post. The Amazon link above is not an affiliate link. I'm just a happy customer who was surprised by the improvement in my life when I got a hepa filter.

• Build a 5-gallon bucket air conditioner
  
• turn on your bathroom and kitchen fans to draw hot air out
  
• Pick up a blower fan (this one is a beast) and a big box fan. In the evening, when its a bit cooler outside than inside, place the box fan in the windows to pull in cool air and the blower fan on a chair a few feet away to turbo-boost the flow. You can also point the box fan out to push out hot air during the hot afternoon. The blower fan pushes a lot of air with a good 15-20' range, so you can experiment with the best placement.
  
• Keep your windows closed with black-out shades (or, even better, thermal shades that reflect light) drawn during the day, keep the lights off, don't use the oven or stovetop, don't turn on your audio receiver, etc.--anything that generates heat adds to the net rise in temperature
  
• wrap ice packs in a towel and, when you go to bed, place them on your neck, in the small of your back, etc. Really helps drop your core body temperature
  
• Drink hot tea and eat spicy food, like curry. Both stimulate the blood vessels in your skin to dilate and release body heat into the surrounding air faster. Sounds crazy, but it works.
  
• Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. The peppermint has a cooling effect.
  

The Coway AP-1512HH and AP-1512HH(W) are on the CARB Certified Air Cleaning Devices list for meeting California’s ozone standards. I’m not sure why Amazon is not allowing us to order the white one (they did allow it last December I believe). You can still order the black one though.

I've had a Winix 5300-2 for awhile and it's done a decent job at reducing dust and air purifying. Plus if you fart near it it will kick up the fan speed for a couple minutes; really fun party trick

I'm buying this Egyptian frog statue for my shrine to Pepe to help the SDF, completely serious meme magic is very dangerous I slacked off and didn't follow through my promise to build it to your green excellency. Then Resafa happened and Afrin is in danger. Once I get off work I'll create an Amazon account, #SAVEAFRINPEPE

I had the same problem in a place years ago. Certainly let the landlord know. As an owner, I’d want to know. However, I’m not sure if they have to do anything. Anyway, I picked up a couple of these and put them in the high humidity areas. Worked wonders. Best of luck!

Levoit LV-H132 I have one in my home office and it really helps. Sucks up a ton of dust from what I can tell.

If your house is like ours and and has side-sliding windows, you can get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Dehumidifier/dp/B00B2BTAV6/

Seems like staying inside, trying to keep the dust off the floors, and using an air purifier is a good idea at this point. If you have a car, you can get a cheapish place on Hotwire.com and spend a night in Monterrey - where the air is much, much cleaner. If not for my family (who can't leave), I would be getting out of here myself.

FYI - this is a top rated air purifier for $205 + tax on Amazon, with prime 2 day delivery.

I got an old fridge on Craigslist for $25 that I thought was a small personal fridge but turned out to be about 6 cubic feet (perfect for hanging). I’m not sure of the brand actually (maybe Kenmore). So far I’ve done a Bresaola and a Copa, both have turned out great!

I own this exact fan. It weighs 7.6lb. Its not very dense at all. You would have to beat someone with it to cause any damage.

Fantastic fan though.

There are appartments and condos and even some neighborhoods that disallow in-window AC units. For reasons.

This is why you can now buy In-room AC units that have an attached hose to exhaust the hot air, and trays for condensate. They are not as efficient, but if that's all you can use, its better than the alternative.



example: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Control/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=sr_1_sc_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1465224560&sr=8-5-spell&keywords=in+room+AC+exaust+hose

Only works when you get to a cooler space though unless you like a hot breeze.

Oh absolutely! This thing has been amazing - https://www.amazon.com/LEVOIT-LV-H132-Purifier-Allergies-Eliminator/dp/B071D58ZY5 - I bought it last year when dealing with black mold here (since been resolved, last fall. Been looking for new place ever since!). Got it on sale with amazon card for about $87, so not terrible. I'd run it 24/7, but our electric bill is insane (no insulation, broken hvac, roommates who run space heaters ever night all night mean 2-3 months of utility bills = my monthly rent.)

Maybe I'm going crazy but I swear I smell it in my pillows and sheets and it's stressing me out. Is that even possible?

Yeah, I know my life epitomizes first world problems, but with already severe anxiety and insomnia, being unable to sleep bc of I'm fighting a panic attack thinking the smell has permeated my recently washed sheets, blankets and pillows....my completely fresh, clean bed is the only place in my life right now I'm totally able to unwind and relax; this has turned it into a major source of stress.

Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_b8dwybNWV0CHR

In Hawaii there's humidity everywhere and it can be bad in Hilo. If you have things you really need to keep dry like camera gear, important personal stuff I would suggest going to Costco, buy a big cooler, put you important stuff in there and also put in there some big silica gel canisters which will keep the cooler's contents nice and dry. They look like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Dry-Packs-Gram-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier/dp/B003QZ6PZ0/

For closets you can buy dehumidifier rods. You can find them locally at stores like ACE Hardware and probably Walmart, Kmart or Target. They look like this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DBTCFGY/

For a beer you can drop by Hilo Burger Joint, Hilo Town Tavern, Cronies, I've had friends go to Margarita Village (by the pier), you can also do some tasting at Mehana/Hawaii Nui Brewing (I believe they will refill your growler if you've got one from Kona Brew Co.). I'm not really a beer drinker so other folks may know better.

As for the rain, yes Hilo can be a rainy city but the Big Island has been kind of going through a drought so I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Kona Longs Drugs usually has sunglasses near the entrance, Hilo Longs Drugs usually has umbrellas near the entrance if that's any indication.

I have an abnormally large number of roommates and our walls are pretty thin. I use two of these and start my workouts wearing a windbreaker until I’m generating more heat: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-655704-Velocity-Blower-Yellow/dp/B006O6FA22

I’ve had no noise complaints from my roommates so far.

I adopted 2 basic honeywell desk fans that I hooked up to a smart socket. It's nice being able to say "alexa, more wind!" and then have them kick on instantly. The pair moves enough air to keep me from overheating so I'm relatively happy with the setup.

If I was starting from scratch, I would explore using one of these utility fans. It looks like a poor man's headwind at 1/5th the price.

Suggest one more addition; a better fan, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/STANLEY-655704-Velocity-Blower-Built/dp/B006O6FA22

Good airflow makes indoor work soooooo much more bearable

better.

Same, it's a really good fan for how small it is.

https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Blizzard-8-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU

Definitely. Something like this would work and can be put in the oven to "recharge" it.

You want something like this

Honeywell MN10CESWW 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_IhHJxbR0VD2A6

Does basically what you're talking but more efficiently and with less kludge.

Yeah, all this temp talk makes me want an air conditioner even more. I'm dangerously playing in the 85-87 in my new space and I'm afraid of the implications later on. Thinking this one: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Control/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=zg_tr_1193678_1/187-4751000-8451855

That is way to high. Might I suggest this (I had to do it when I was in an apt and saved me tons of money.) if you can hide it from the apt people which I was able to do with a simple chair and potted plant. Get a portable AC unit similar to this one and cool only the area that you are using. Good luck.

I recently got my second one of these after having the first for 3 years: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTKAPUU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Off-brand filters actually better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076JJ42V7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think that pack should be everything for a year or so.

I never have the ionizer on.

​

Reasons I like it:

1. It moves a lot of air and cleans it well.
   
2. Really robust permanent pre-filter that catches the big stuff to stop it from clogging your hepa filter faster.
   
3. Replacement filters last a lot longer for the price than something like GermGuardian does for me.
   
4. Air quality sensor and filter reminder lights
   
5. HEPA filter seems more robust than most I see. Good build quality and a thicker design that probably wouldn't have issues bending from the level of airflow(which I've seen from AC filters).
   
   The brand is a pretty major South Korean one(which seems to have a big air purifier market). They have a more expensive flagship model (https://www.amazon.com/AIRMEGA-Smarter-Purifier-Covers-1560/dp/B01C9RIACG/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=coway&qid=1564631008&s=hpc&sr=1-2-catcorr) that has more expensive filters and smart-phone apps but I honestly don't think the core product is much better.

I have the older model of this.

Very happy with it. I've owned two for about four years and been running them 24/7 without any problems. It has a hepa filter (allergens and all that) and a charcoal filter (odors). You change the charcoal filter more often (replacement filter packs typically come with 1 hepa and 3 - 6 charcoal). I change the hepa about every 18 months. I think you can also put two charcoal filters in it, or not use the hepa and go with just charcoal, if all you care about is odors and not allergens.

Honeywell, Winix, or Coway are ones that I have used or see recommended the most often. You want one that is true HEPA and has charcoal filters that you have to change reuglary (the charcoal filters, the HEPA is usually reusable and you may have to change it every year or few years).

I haven't bought one in a while, but this Winix looks like a really solid deal at the moment: https://www.amazon.com/Winix-5300-2-Purifier-PlasmaWave-Reducing/dp/B01D8DAYBA/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=hepa+air+purifier&qid=1556562788&s=gateway&sr=8-14

This one (maybe the same?) from Costco gets thrown around often as well and comes with 2 filters: https://www.costco.com/Winix-C535-Air-Cleaner-with-PlasmaWave-Technology.product.100280290.html

We've had two older models of this for 4 years:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01D8DAYBA/ref=pd_aw_sim_201_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=868ECA1N6AKBEVZFBBPK&dpPl=1&dpID=71qDj8%2BZkDL

Our house has a very "clean" smell with having one running by the kitchen/living room, and one in the master bedroom. I can tell it works well because when I fart within 20 feet of it, the purifier fan kicks into overdrive to get rid of it. Lol

It's true!

Don't forget the Kek statue!!

Kek Statue - Egyptian Frog Goddess Heket Statue

I have 2 of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071D58ZY5 in my apartment, they work well enough for me.

I have this Frigidaire dehumidifier:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UWP07LK

It has great reviews, and I love it, but it isn't quiet. Just a mild background hum similar to a PC. It's not a miracle worker, but it helps, and it's nice to have a backup source of toilet flushing water for when the water pressure dies.

I currently have this in my bedroom. Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zxXACb71FJM9P

And am considering getting one of their larger versions for the living room/dining room/kitchen area. I am amazed at the amount of stuff that ends up on the filter. I had a Honeywell/Kaz version for years. The coway is a much better unit. I think for me air filters are essentially during wildfire season, but I run it all year long. I don't think I would expect to notice a huge difference in your day to day symptoms but I believe that it prevents bad days from being worse. I think winx makes good units as well just depends on the size of your space and filter replacement costs. Also consider if it has an ionizer/ozone function that you can turn off. It is the general belief that this is not a good feature to have running in a space that you are currently occupying. (Good for odor control when you are not home)

This should do the trick:
Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier, 1200 Cubic Feet (150 sq ft), Compact and Portable for Damp Air, Mold, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Basement, Caravan, Office, Garage https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IF0CCbYDY6DWC

I really doubt you’d need to humidify a space that small.

this fan saves my life every year at bonnaroo. i have no shame holding it up to my face for nearly entire sets when im feeling overheated.

I'm going to show my husband this one when he gets home from work!

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a fan as a solution. I live in Florida, too, so I bought a Vornado Air Circulator and it quickly made that room the coolest in the house. I just point it out the door so it pushes the warm air out. It's noisy, but very powerful for the money.

Smaller, cheaper model that I own.

I'd choose the small or medium Vornado fan before the Dyson. I've been using it fulltimeing for five years now and it really does make the whole room feel cooler.



I'd also recommend:


a washer/dryer combo if you have room.


Square Pizza stone and thermometer for the oven.


LED Bulbs for everything 12v and 110v


Shark Rocket Ultralight vaccum



Water Filter


Better mattress


Ninja Pro Blender/Food Possessor/Chopper


Mini Dish Drying rack

I should probably pull this post for not being Portland-related, but it's really hot and I'm sorry you don't have a fan. For researching stuff like this I really like The Sweethome and its tech-related sister site The Wirecutter

Here's their picks for The Best Fan. I actually recently bought their runner-up pick, the Vornado 630 (although the price has gone up, it was $60 when I bought it.) It's a great little fan.

Shouldn't pull enough current to drain battery...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0ZDD2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My idea for the ultimate cooling solution is taking two 20" box fans and, pointing them in the same direction, mounting the motherboard in between them. /s

I would highly recommend Coway systems. I have pretty bad allergies purchased a Coway Airmega 300 for my 850sq ft studio. I've been incredibly happy with it so far. It is extremely well designed and the pre-filters are super easy to clean.

Considering the size of your room you may want to take a look at the Coway Mighty, which is smaller but made by the same company. It currently sits at the top of The Wirecutter's air purifier recommendations.


The Black Coway Mighty is discounted down to $206 on Amazon. Looking at it's price history on CamelCamelCamel, it seems that is a reasonable discount. If you can wait a bit, it looks like it drops below $175 pretty regularly.

I run a hepa air purifier next to mine just to be safe.

You could also try building an enclosure like this with an activated carbon filter to remove the fumes, but personally I opted for a certified HEPA filter so I know it's actually pulling the potentially harmful stuff out of the air.

I have the Vornado 630 and really love it! When I forget to turn it on, it’s a noticeable difference!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E5WAUO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_4xF-BbB6HJQ93

They do make small ones that don't use much electricity and work for small rooms. I have one in my bathroom because it has no fan. It's desktop size and very quiet.

This is the one I bought. Has worked like a champ for 4 years so far.

We have 3 of these for three separate rooms where there was condensation and mold on the windows all the time, and the closets were damp. We LOVE these machines. They have worked wonderfully for us and dried up the air so nicely. I would buy these again and again. Hope this helps. :) https://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Edv-1100-Electric-Petite-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0ZDD2

I use an inkbird hygrostat and a small dehumidifier in my curing chambers. I know you are using a mini fridge, but that dehumidifier is really small and holds the humidity level at 75% pretty consistently.

We live at the beach and use this: reusable dehumidifier (it's desiccant based). It hangs on the closet rod and works great.

We also have this electric one, which pulls about 4 oz. of water a day from our bedroom.

Behold! The Pinnacle of Cooling Solutions

This 609.6 mm Case fan is the only fan you will ever need!

I just use a $27 box fan and that knocks me ouch each night.

Holmes 8-Inch Fan | Lil’ Blizzard... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share they should be these.

This is my first time growing, so please feel free to critique/rip into my setup, as I really appreciate all the help and knowledge! I actually ordered my seeds from JAHseeds a year ago, but never got my shit together enough to actually do anything with them.

 

I do want to take a quick moment to thank u/AFK_ing for the seeds first, as they were actually gifted to me for free. I placed an order on a whim one night, and then completely forgot about it. Turns out that JAHseeds never ended up depositing the interac transfer I sent them, so it inevitably expired. I had forgotten about the order completely, when out of the blue one day I received a letter in the mail complete with 12 free seeds and a handwritten 'apology' letter. This absolutely floored me, and left me feeling super warm and fuzzy inside. I've been cherishing the seeds up until now, so I'm really really happy that I can finally bring them to life :) Anyways....thank you JAHseeds!

 

Onto the setup! Currently running:

 

2x alibaba 240w QB

 

Promix HP + 2inch layer of worm castings on the bottom

 

Strain is The Best My seeds are not feminized however, so still unsure of sex.

 

Right now they are in 1 gallon pots and I'm planning on moving them into 7 gallon fabric pots when the time is right.

 

I kinda went ham one night and bought the entire GH nutrient lineup (including all the additives....) so I'm planning on sticking to their schedule (halved) throughout the grow. I know I could have done without a lot (most) of them, but yeah it was still cheaper than buying an Oz from the LP....Currently only feeding them water.

 

The tent is a GA 48x48x80, with a Vivosun 6 inch duct fan and carbon filter

 

Holmes Lil' Blizzard fan (this thing moves a lot of air)

 

I originally had a smaller tent so I started out germinating 3 seeds by dropping them in a glass of water for 36 hours. After they all popped, I planted them directly into coco pots. At that time I decided to change to a larger tent, so I dropped 2 more seeds into a glass of water to germinate. 36 hours later one of the seeds had popped, but not the other. I planted the one that popped, and left the other in the water for another 12 hours. At this time it still hadn't popped, so I just dropped it into a pot with the others. The one that never popped didnt end up coming through the soil until about 2 days ago (I was actually just about to give up on it). It's the tiny coco pot in the middle. Pretty sure it's gonna be a retard plant but whatever, I'll give it some love and care. Don't tell Justin. The nice healthy plant on the bottom right is the other seed that I germinated with it at the same time.

tl;dr i love you all

I know what you're talking about but I couldn't find the post either. However I believe the person bought something like this.

Does that look familiar to you?

I had the same problem, so I did some research and bought this one a week ago. It's a little bulky and needs a filter, but it's SO much easier to clean.

Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAYJPO

We will use it in the nursery. I like it because it just uses evaporative cooling so the cost to operate it is much less than other humidifiers. Also nothing hot comes out of it so there's no way anyone can get burned by it.

I've coded these posts to upload automatically every week. hope you enjoy the timelapse!

• something i've probably forgotten
  
  
  All in all it's cost just under $1000 USD

I just got this humidifier for my DD and it is so much easier to maintain than our previous Crane one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002QAYJPO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506120922&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=honeywell+humidifier&dpPl=1&dpID=31do7c24QVL&ref=plSrch

I like to keep all my silver (generic or not) shiny as well. So I understand the concern of tarnishing. The only thing that I can think to reccomend is a safe silica container like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QZ6PZ0

Other than that, someone else might be able to give you good advice. Welcome to silverbugs. All the best

I have something similar, if a bit less messy. I have a tub with all of my spools of filament in it except the one in use, and a big desiccant pack made for safes. I just make sure to switch filament every few weeks, or more often when it's humid; that's generally not a problem because I also switch filament for other reasons, like color.

It works like a charm. I just need to bake the desiccant every two or three months, which is a lot easier than shoveling a half dozen rolls of filament into my oven.

Here's the pack I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Dry-Packs-Gram-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier/dp/B003QZ6PZ0/

I had to break this into another comment due to per comment character limits.

The following previously belonged to the above comment, but was moved here due to the above mentioned limts.

> Something you can do now: Build a filament drybox. Seriously, some filaments such as certain Nylons can go bad in just a few hours, depending on ambient humidity levels. All filaments are susceptible to moisture absorption, and ideally should be kept in something like a Spannerhands holder, even while printing, but at worst you should store them in a big plastic tub with silica gel beads to keep them dry.

> If I had to give one last tip, don't stock up on too much filament yet! Seriously! I thought I would be printing mostly in PLA but now that I've had a few weeks to work with it, I've learned I prefer PETG more, and now I have so much extra PLA! I'm sure I'll find something to do with it, but for my final tip I would add "And get a good variety!". Services like MakerBox (referral) let you try a bunch of different filaments on the cheap. It's not a ton of each filament (about 50g), but I love the variety of materials and colors.

Original second level comment begins:

Final Tips: Bonus Round!

1. Extruder Indicators are pretty cool (and USEFUL). You can get the magnets super cheap (or amazon).
   
2. Learn how to do An Atomic Pull (AKA Cold Pull), and learn it well. Do this every time you switch filaments (See "Doing it the lazy way" at the bottom of the page). You'll help remove built up deposits each time, which will help ensure a long, jam free life for you nozzle. This also skips the bleeding necessary when switching filaments (on your next "Load" you'll get a few mm of old filament and then pretty much pure new filament after that, instead of the 100mm or so of transition). You can skip doing a proper Cold Pull if you're using a brand new printer anyway. Just do a lazy pull each time you switch filaments, and then a proper Cold Pull maybe every 100 print hours, or after using extremely difficult (wet or super exotic) filaments to help remove any residue that may cause future jams or other issues. This does require undoing and redoing the idler tension again, but once you've done it a few times you can do the whole pull and filament swap in under a minute (minus hotend heatup/cooldown time). White Nylon is great for proper Cold Pulls, partially because you can crank the temp up very high (which ensures any residual filament in the hot end should also melt), White PLA would be okay for example, but may not properly pull PETG or ABS from the nozzle. White is great thanks to the color, of course, which allows you to see any residue easier; However, any color may be used. If you only ever use PLA, then PLA would be just fine for a Cold Pull. Seriously though, start by doing Cold Pulls from Day 1 and you'll easily cut out 50% of your future issues.
   
3. The small metric fasteners used in the printer are cheap. They are used in a lot of designs found online, so you should stock up (alternate source). The primary fasteners used are M3 Socket Head Cap 0.5 pitch, mostly full thread. You can also get the nuts very cheap. Square, Nyloc, and Hex. I can get the exact lengths used in the Mk3 if anyone needs them, though I'm not sure the exact grade used, it only really effects corrosion resistance.
   
4. You can also Calibrate the Extruder steps/mm and extrusion multiplier. Many people will tell you only the later is necessary but I prefer to do both anyway. Theoretically it does make a difference, but practically you can just compensate for steps/mm with the extrusion multiplier, and for all intents and purposes the result is the same, so "many people" are totally right.
   
5. You can also Calibrate the PID. You probably won't have to do this for PLA out of the box, but may find you have some temperature swings with PETG or ABS temperatures. The Official Help Article also discusses this method and how to calibrate using the LCD if you prefer. I like to keep my Mk3 settings vanilla (I've never used an M500 directly, and avoid them when I can), so I like to get my PID values manually and set them in my start GCode instead, which also allows me to setup my slicer so each switching filaments automatically switches PID profiles. The bed can be calibrated as well, but again you probably won't need to do this unless you're experiencing temperature swings more than -/+ 5°. One or two degree dips/spikes is perfectly normal (though theoretically can be tuned out, requires proper enclosure for stable ambient temps, etc).
   
   There are tons of other accessories you can get ahead of time. None of these are necessary, but are small things you might end up using (or wanting to try :P), and should help get you started getting a wishlist together. Besides the ones mentioned in this comment (and the one that precedes it) already:
   
   

• Wire Snips beat the included pliers hands down. For $4 how are you not going to pick these up right now? The cutting edge on a pair of pliers sucks and it doesn't help that it's ****ing halfway down the length of the tool. I tried to get away with just using the included tools and simply gave up trying to use the included pliers to cut zip ties. If you have Prime, get a pair of these now. Get a pair even if you don't - they're worth the shipping cost too. Thank me later.
  
• 608 bearings (for prints such as TUSH),
  
• Loctite 222 (helps prevent screws from vibrating free, not necessary thanks to Nylocs used in Mk3),
  
• A humidity sensor (for filament dry box and checking ambient),
  
• An accurate scale (for calculating remaining filament),
  
• A small fan (enhanced print cooling when needed (not very necessary except for ultra extreme bridges), enhanced circulation in filament dry box),
  
• Small bags (for silica beads),
  
• PTFE tube and matching Bowden Couplers (for something like Spannerhands),
  
• Lubit-8 (for the LMU88 bearings),
  
• SuperLube (Silicone Grease w/ PTFE for Bondtech Extruder gear maintenance),
  
• Canola Oil (for lubricating/cleaning filament and seasoning the nozzle/hotend (not necessary with modern hotends)),
  
• Small Brass Brush (also for Bondtech Extruder gear maintenance),
  
• Nozzle Reams (for the extremely rare jam, because you're doing your Atomic Pulls, right?),
  
• Extra Nozzles (no need for the kit, just an example. Hardened nozzles (black) are a good idea for composites, last longer than Brass, regardless of filament used. Prusa Mk3 comes with 0.4mm nozzle preinstalled, but you can easily swap the nozzle),
  
• E3D Hotend Sock (helps lock in heat for (theoretically?) lower current usage and more stable temperatures, also helps keep plastic off the heat block in case of print failure),
  
• Magigoo (or other adhesion aids) (for certain exotic filaments, otherwise not necessary with Mk3),
  
• Tempered Glass or Borosilicate printbeds (for certain exotic filaments),
  
• And of course, Isopropyl Alcohol (70% or better, preferably 91% or better) and Acetone, just to name a few...
  
  Edit: Upon rereading my comment I realized I have a problem.. I own every product I just listed..
  
  ^^Except ^^for ^^the ^^nozzles ^^kit ^^so ^^it's ^^not ^^that ^^big ^^of ^^a ^^problem, ^^right?... ^^Right?!

I would call lasko about the problem with your current fan. The dyson isn't going to do anything that the lasko can't except cost more. If you want to get serious about moving air around try one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-655704-Velocity-Blower-Yellow/dp/B006O6FA22/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1494965359&sr=8-5&keywords=air+mover

I'm not sure whether this qualifies as "smart" but I have the Coway purifier that's recommended by the Wirecutter (and actually steeply discounted to nearly $60 less what I paid...).

It's very good, "turn it on and forget about it", and has a built-in air quality sensor that can dynamically adjust the performance of the purifier. It also produces a very pleasant low-frequency white noise (as compared to some which are much more higher pitched).

high quality air filter.

This is great: https://smile.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-True/dp/B00BTKAPUU

My recommendation for an air purifier (after a bunch of research) is the Coway: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTKAPUU

I second the allergy testing, that could help narrow down the cause.

When you say you try to keep the air circulating, does that including opening the window? I ask because you could be letting early morning pollen in.

Another thing you can try: sleep on a different mattress / air bed / sleeping bag in the problem room. That would tell you if it's the air or the bed.

You are correct to paint the surfaces. I recommend a product like this.

The humidifiers you have chosen are too small. Get two, one for each side of your home. And get bigger ones. Maybe like this one.

I would also take pictures of the water condensing on the walls. Document everything you are having to do including the money you are having to spend to make your home "livable" and protect the property of the the landlord. Stay in communication with the landlord and ask if you can deduct some or all of these expenses from the rent since you are helping to prevent mold damage to the property. Mold is dangerous and it is nothing to mess around with. I don't know what the laws are where you live, but the landlord should be inclined to help with this problem.

If the problem persists or the landlord is not responsive it might be a good idea to find another place to live when your lease is finished.

This is my unit. I like to have it a bit away from the wall. It blows out a lot of warm air and I use it to dry my hockey equipment. Works really well, I just wish I could set it up to drain automatically.

https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-70-Pint-Dehumidifier-Effortless-Humidity/dp/B00UWP07LK

2.5 years and still going strong. Seems very well made.

Fwiw, most basements in Portland's old houses are susceptible to leaks and flooding. When we were looking for a new place at the start of this year, we had multiple landlords get out in front of this by saying when and how much it had flooded before.

They would say that they had taken measures to stop it and what they did when it happened. I spoke with a basement flood contractor on the street around that time, and he described it as so common it is essentially to be expected.

In our current place, the foundation is so old that it is crumbling in some places. When we got here, the walls were seeping in some places with a thin pool of moisture in some corners.

We also smelled mold and thought it was a problem. Our landlord did not seem to mind. She is not an experienced landlord. Anyhow, we invested in one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UWP07LK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which has made an enormous difference. It took several weeks maybe months to get the entire basement dried out, emptying many, many gallons of water from this machine. But it is sorted out now, does not smell like mold and we have the pleasure of taking control of this situation.

The landlord did complain about the electricity from it once! We offered to split the bill with her, and since then have just kept it running at around 60 on the humidity setting. It still collects moisture, especially during the big rain last week, and we'll be taking it with us when we move again.

I agree with BorkinUpTree that it won’t replace meds, etc. But an air purifier is a good idea anyway. This is a pretty good deal if you have a small room LEVOIT Air Purifier (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071D58ZY5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TXIIDbWFR4CJH). Or if you have a larger room, the Coway (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R0IIDb1FMW1PV) or the large room Levoit is good (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W54K29J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GZIIDb63270W0). Just don’t use an ionizing setting or get one that emits ozone. They help a lot with the general funk and odor of a room that doesn’t have a lot of circulation. The HEPA filter takes out allergens and dust as well. Sorry about your little guy with pneumonia, it’s so frustrating when they’re sick. Good luck!

Expensive option is get an air purifier like this one.

Cheap option is window fans for exhaust but another thing that might help is a splatter guard for your pan. Won't stop smoke but also won't steam your food like a lid would. I use one when frying and searing, it definitely makes a difference in how irritated my eyes get afterwards. Here's an option specifically for odor reduction, but I just have a normal mesh one and it still works great.

The box fan is gonna be pretty shitty at generating the pressure delta you need to pull air through the filter, theres just way too much slippage around the vanes.

By the time you buy the correct fan and get the sealing figured out, you might as well have spent the $300.

Also, you can get a decent HEPA filter on amazon for about half that. I've got this one and I love it: https://www.amazon.com/Winix-5300-2-Purifier-PlasmaWave-Reducing/dp/B01D8DAYBA/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1524843388&sr=8-8&keywords=hepa+filter+winix

Winix 5300

Used this for flower actually when I had some neighbors whom must have been crossed with bloodhounds. It worked great for about 3 years, now 5 years later, not as well, but it's still running. Yearly filters will set you back about 50 bucks.

Winix 5300-2 Air Purifier with True HEPA, PlasmaWave and Odor Reducing Carbon Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8DAYBA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yanUDbS9XT4S9

Amazing at particle removal, i have 1 in each room and am nearly unaffected by the smoke.

i'm running same size tent and i will run this in the muggy summer time. although you should keep your exhaust fan on 24/7 not only to keep humidity low but also for a constant supply of fresh air. you dont really need to run one honestly but it does help reduce mold chances and that.

Also, the reviews are beautiful. I...just ordered one.

Kek Statue - Egyptian Frog Goddess Heket Statue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBBYCND/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_v42uybYJHPD7X

i looked up "statue" in amazon and this was the 3rd result

there's a modified bernie copypasta in the reviews

the market always provides

> In the last couple days I found a decent layer of condensation water on water pipes, a/c coolant pipes and a/c ducts in the crawl space.

Are you on city water or well water?

Is the insulation also wet?

First I'd get someone to check every pressured pipe under there. It sounds like a hot water leak that is steaming the crawl space.

Purchase a hygrometer to measure the amount of humidity down there (get one with a wireless emitter) ASAP.

https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-70-8-Channel-Thermo-Hygrometer/dp/B00X4XVKAO/

If the number is above 70 then you'll need a dehumidifier. In addition you'll need a 3-prong outlet (extension cords are strongly not advised) and a way for the water to leave the crawlspace (unless you want to empty a bucket every 5-6 hours).

Had a similar model for about 7 years now. It's very quiet.

Yes, we went with their top recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG (stripped the referral link).

Sub 200... Let me see what I can find that will work for you.

Coway AP-1512HH Mighty amazon link -- can be had for around $170 and is very very good. I would put it near the birds (same room, etc) , as that's what you say is the biggest source in the house.

• it's a 4 stage filter
  
• it has an auto air quality detector and power saving modes
  
• wall mounted or tabletop
  
• relatively quiet, and has a quiet mode.
  
• doesn't make much ozone.

first off. You are neighbors. walk across the hallway knock on the door and ask them to smoke outside. if this doesn't work then report them to the landlord and you can do this with a clear conscience. If you are desperate enough to be rid of the smell go on amazon and buy a carbon filter and place it by the door that the smell comes through.

This one.

https://www.amazon.com/Winix-5300-2-Purifier-PlasmaWave-Reducing/dp/B01D8DAYBA/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=Winix&qid=1555379602&s=gateway&sr=8-4

I recently got the Winix 5300 from Amazon and I really like it. I beleive they have a smart one as well.

Same problem. Looks like the previous homeowner renovated and took out the fans at some point - oddly enough we still have the exhaust pipes leading to the roof. Didn’t realize this when we bought the house; we had the beginnings of mold/mildew problems after the first month.

Get on amazon and get you a countertop dehumidifier and always shut the door to your bathroom when you aren’t using it. They are about $50 bucks apiece. We got one similar to this one but not the same model. It should have at a minimum an auto-cutoff switch for when it’s full. Some of the fancier ones have humidity sensors and can be programmed to shut off when the ambient air reaches a certain level of humidity (e.g, 35%). This can save you on electric in the long run.

But honestly we just keep the doors to our bathrooms shut all the time - we have dogs that absolutely love the filthy bathroom trash so we’d be doing that anyway - and we keep our little humidifiers running 24/7. We have to empty them about twice a week but as they sit on the counter it’s not a big deal. Extra electric cost is worth it because the extra dry air in the bathrooms means we have pretty much zero mold or mildew so the bathrooms stay cleaner for longer.

That’s a great idea! You think something like this could work?
ProBreeze
I could place it in a closed cupboard and dehumidify away

https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-VersionTECH-Rechargeable-Household-Traveling/dp/B01HGI0S6O/ take that. i just came back a couple of days ago - july heat. most people i spoke to said the cooling towels did not work. and please use sunscreen. get a good stainless steel water bottle and go up to quick services to ask for a cup of water.

A battery powered hand fan (Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HGI0S6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XU91BbVG97NBA). It maks a huge difference on those 100 degree, 100% humidity days.

My SO gets hot very quickly and would love to keep the A/C at 70-71, but for the last two summers she has been spot cooling with one of these and it's worked out -very- well. Like I can bump it to 76. She rarely needs to use the high setting and doesn't need to recharge it that often. Great to take to the theme parks too. Don't forget to keep those blinds closed and don't use the oven!

Bookmarking this for the great ideas, because I am also a gross sweaty mess by the time I get to work.

My suggestion is a personal fan. I got this one from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HGI0S6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_m0U7CbNWKZ0BJ) and was impressed at how effective it actually is. (It’s blowing on me RIGHT NOW at my desk).

Hey no problem, open the transmission area, see what size pinion is in it - and let us know, it's usually printed or stamped on it somewhere. Also take note of the size of your motor shaft, some are 5mm some are smaller.

It should be a 48P setup, most redcats are, but the owner could have put something different in it...

I can likely link you to a spur / pinion that should heat it slower but you will lose top speed a bit. So if you want that speed, you're gonna have to buy a rechargable field fan, just a little pocket fan and stick it under the lexan every 5 minutes or so for 5 minutes or so : )

the one I got was like 11 bucks(14 my bad), lasts 3 hours on the highest speed, and puts out a ton of air it just cools everything, sometimes I even strap it in and just leave it running lolz while I bash (also if it's a hot day, some water on the neck / forehead and the fan is tits bananas!)

https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Handheld-Fan-VersionTECH-Rechargeable/dp/B01HGI0S6O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539620517&sr=8-4&keywords=portable+fan this what I use on my rigs that are tuned to temp out if bashed hard - I just use some velcro straps and hope for the best, seems to work better than little tiny dedicated fans.

I decided to wrap it clear incase I forget that there's no markings on the body and try to peel off the wrap to peak inside again. One down side is that if the wrap starts to wear out, it's hard to tell without a close inspection. Luckily that battery came with and lives inside the handheld fan which gets charged via micro usb. What's crazy to me is that the fan has a overcharger/discharge circuit built in. Best $13 I spent this summer!

I dry for ten+ days at 60%, and IMO it's almost impossible to get a bad result if you do it like I do. I use an Inkbird RH controller connected to a blower and a humidifier to hold my dry tent very steady at 60% RH. I hang my colas for ten days plus. My herb is ready for trimming and jarring at 10 days, but it doesn't matter at all if I leave it in there for ten weeks. I don't check stems for dryness- I just give it 10 days or more. My herb usually ends up spending 14 or 21 days in the dry tent because I do most of my garden work on weekends.

I trim my bud in front of the TV with the room humidified to 60%. I keep a hygrometer on the coffee table. That way I don't have to worry about my herb drying out as I trim. I use clear 1 quart wide-mouth Mason jars. I fill them to 3/4 which is about an ounce. You need enough room in the jars to shake free the nugs when they stick together.

Good luck, brother. I hope you get a real nice result.

Burping/curing: You want a dark place to store your jars that you can easily access each day. Ideally you want temps at 55F-75F. Curing isn't magic. It's mainly just the process of chlorophyll breaking down and gassing off. Here's how I burp a pound of weed in 5 minutes- Pick up jar, shake, loosen lid, put down jar, repeat for all jars. Remove all of the lids and set aside. Use a personal fan like this to blow out the jars. Re-lid and your done.

I burp daily for the first two weeks. Every other day for the next two weeks. Twice a week for the next two weeks. One a week from week 6 to 12. Once a month after that. You will have harsh but smokeable weed that probably wont give you a headache after three weeks of cure. You will have weed that smokes like like decent street/dispensary weed at six weeks. Your shit really starts smoothing out at 3 months. At six months you are at peak cure and quality.

This one - been very happy with it so far. Its def. powerful enough to easily handle my bedroom/walk-in closet. 2 of them could probably handle the whole first floor of my house to be honest. Normally I leave it on the lowest setting, but a few hours before bed I'll usually run it on the highest.

1. I'd recommend the LED's for the 32 gallon. If you were just using 5gal buckets then it's not as big of a deal, but the canopy can get pretty thick and it'll really cause the lower half of your plant to suffer.
   
   
2. Again because of the size of the setup, 2 stacked fans will probably be enough but you may suffer from airflow if you over stuff your filter. I was considering doing a similar setup with my pc fans, but I'm running a smaller 5gal setup.
   
   
3. I can't comment on this part, but DIY should be fine. As long as it's air tight and has activated carbon, it's not going to be much different than a store setup.
   
   
4. Definitely active. Even if you just have 1-2 computer fans pulling in from the bottom, this will take some of the work load off of your outtake fans, especially if you plan on using the duel comp fan carbon filter. If you're feeling more fancy you could also consider a HEPA filtered fan as an intake, to reduce the chance of mold getting into your rig, as well as keeping dust from accumulating in the fans.

When you talk to your room mate, tell them that your place stinks and that you guys need to clean up if you want girls to come over. Dont blame him, just make it sound like it could be just as much your fault as theirs.

I would get myself this if I had prime (and if I didn't feel guilty for spending money on myself). Thanks for the contest!

I used a sleep mask in addition to my black out curtains because they don’t keep all the light out. I really love this one. And honestly you could just just this for a while and throw some blankets or whatever over your windows until you can afford black out curtains. It’s pretty comfortable and really blocks the light. I also have a powerful but small fan I run for white noise and just point it at the wall. It cancels out the construction been happening - similar to this one.

I’ve been working nights for two years and sometimes I am on a good schedule but mostly I feel like my sleep is always kinda messed up. I can make it with to for now but if you are really suffering get to days as soon as you can.

Vornado fans- I don't know how they do it, but a medium Vornado circulator moves more air in my apartment than 3 old box fans. They are quiet, and last forever. Don't buy the knockoffs that look similar, they don't work nearly as well.

They do actually make low power draw dehumidifiers: https://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Edv-1100-Electric-Petite-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0ZDD2

They are not nearly as efficient as standard models, but they also have much lower power usage. In a small space like a van, along with other humdity management techniques, they seem to make a difference.

I've considered getting one. I've met several people who swear by them. But I also lived in the PNW for a while, and that is next level humidity.

By the way, in the end i bought a very small dehumidifier, and it works pretty well.

Although, in hindsight, i probably should have gotten a slightly larger model.

I use this small dehumidifier because it works in low temps.

And I have that on a humidity controller set to turn it on above 75 Rh.

keep the area well ventilated and your windows open as much as possible. this has built up over quite a long time, most likely due to poor air circulation. wash your clothes and dry them thoroughly before hanging them up. buy a mini dehumidifier and keep it in the closet ( i got mine off amazon)

buy some mildew remover and wipe it over often, but be careful because that stuff is pure chlorine so will bleach EVERYTHING it touches.

to be honest i would remove all your clothes out of there and put them somehwere else, and have the closet for stuff you don't care about.

> Lo del condensador supongo que será un sistema de enfriamiento, algo que enfríe el aire para ir captando gotitas de agua.

Exacto, es como todo aire acondicionado, genera agua.

Mientras más caliente está el aire, más vapor de agua puede contener. Cuando el aire caliente se enfría, el vapor se consensa y se vuelve agua líquida. Es lo mismo que ocurre con una cerveza fría o cuando el parabrisas se empaña: el aire cerca del vidrio se enfría y el agua se condensa.

Por $750 puedes comprar un deshumidificador, que opera con el mismo principio. En la parte de abajo puedes ver el tanque donde se acumula el agua.

I have one of the in a beer fermenting fridge; does good with that size.

I think one of the small peltier models drained into the sink or outside is more likely to work for vans and small RVs.

I'm probably not a lot of help . . . but. When I have "handwash only" clothing, I wash them with a delicate detergent (like Woolite or baby laundry soap) in my washer. Only a very small load, and on the delicate cycle. On cold only. Then I take them out and hang or flat dry them. Do you have somewhere outside that you can dry clothes? The sun does an amazing job of taking out smells, even when it's cold out. They sell little flat/stackable mesh shelf thingies for flat drying sweaters and things, too. like this! Oh! And if you MUST hang things indoors, a dehumidifier helps a lot. I have this one in my bathroom. it's little and cute but effective.

Edited because long links are ugly.

Alright. I used to work for a company that made Power inverters, solar panels and batteries for RV's, backup systems for homes and businesses.

I've had this discussion tons of times with hundreds of customers.

1. AC units are incredibly huge power drains. They are almost always not feasible to be run off of small vehicular systems or directly off of batteries.
   
   
2. If you're on the West Coast or in LOW HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENTS --- Invest in a swamp cooler/Evaporative Air Conditioner. They are MUCH more efficient. Probably a great example for small spaces like vans: http://amzn.to/1RTUar9
   
   
3. If you need an AC unit in more humid environments, try a dehumidifier ( http://amzn.to/1RTTySh ) ---- That'll improve interior comfort quite a bit. However, a rooftop engine-powered AC unit with a couple 200Ah AGM Batteries would be more ideal: http://amzn.to/1UBH0n6
   
   
4. Another thing to consider with AC Units. They aren't going to run for 8-10 hours while you're sleeping. At least, not straight through. They'll turn on for 10-20 minutes, then turn off again once the temperature reaches a nominal setting. Once it gets too warm, the AC will turn back on again. So you're looking at maybe 3 hours of runtime if it's not sweltering.
   
   Fortunate for desert climates, the temperature drops 30-60 degrees at night. Not so much for sub-tropical and more humid climates. So a simple fan or again, a swamp cooler will do.
   
   Lastly; I'll second what everyone else says. Rooftop AC unit+Genset+Batteries is ideal. Having an Inverter/Charger that prioritizes batteries over the alternate source of electric (Genset) is going to be probably the absolute best setup and what I recommend.
   
   Something like this: http://amzn.to/22Fud6y which has a battery priority mode and auto-generator iginition when it senses the batteries reach a certain level. It will then utilize the genset to charge the batteries and pass-through the power to run the AC if it also kicks on until the batteries reach your preset level of charge.

Hard to give advice without knowing more details (e.g., size of fridge).

Normally I'd say don't bother fixing your rig, just go to craiglist and get a used fridge or upright freezer, but I don't know if you can do that.

Problem with a non frost-free fridge is condensation, which will make humidity hard to control.

Some people gauge humidity with a pan of salted water. A better way would be a saturated solution like these.

I use this dehumidifier, not 100% happy but it works for me. The ones I'd like to use are more for room-sized curing chambers.

You can also use it for ageing cheese, that requires high humidity :)

1. The most amazing bed!. No explanation needed.
   
   
2. The perfect snack. It'll full your belly up and it's a light snack compared to sweet and savory stuff.
   
   
3. Cupcakes!
   
   
4. Elephant night light.
   
   
5. For my son, a box fan helps him stay asleep. If it's turned off in the night, guaranteed he'll wake up 5 or 6 times, with it on, he usually wakes up once, if that!
   
   Koala?
   
   She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread.
   

Have you thought about getting a box fan like this one?

You'll be able to leave the window open, get extra air circulation, and block the opening from derpy Evel Knievel dogs all at the same time.

Buy a 20 inch box fan such as this model.

Buy any 20 inch by 20 inch air filter such as these examples.

Get some duct tape and affix the air filter to the back of the box fan.

It may not look that pretty, but your wallet will be happy.

I've tried a number of different ducts (this one and this one along with fans of various sizes and CFM ratings and haven't found anything that works satisfactorily. I've gone all the way up to mounting a 40mm x 40mm x 28mm fan on the x-carriage and that gives the best result, but still not good enough. I also tried putting a big 120mm fan on the back of my printer, but that didn't do much either.

The only thing that's given me acceptable results is taking a small desk fan like this and sitting it right in front of the printer.

I've been using (4) of these 8" Lil' Blizzard fans 24/7 for about 3 years straight, and they have been nothing but rock solid(knock on wood). You would have to customize a mount for your tent pole, but it's completely doable and has a really ideal amount of airflow(2 speeds) in the 4x4 or smaller environment. This is my setup in veg. I also run this same thing under my flowering tents canopy.

u/arsfarsy, u/Jortear thought you might be interested as well

Holmes Lil' Blizzard?

This is the best fan you can use.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_O08UDb6NJRRRQ

It's not quite small enough to be a desk fan (it could fit, it might be too much), but it's compact and still moves a lot of air for its size. I've had this same fan for over 7 years now and it still works great, I'm using it right now.

Leaching onto parent question:
Say i had a 12V car battery like this

and a blower fan like this or more simply an oscilating fan like this

How do I figure out how long the battery would let the fan run on a single charge? As in not hooked up to solar or the car battery.

Any help with how to calculate this would be very appreciated, a fan seems very crucial

Blower fan in front of you would help, maybe have some DIY vents in the goggles.

I'm working on a "Shark Tank Sales Pitch" project for a Personal Selling class. The group wanted to do a fridge that dispenses wine instead of water. To be honest I thought it was stupid and when we pitched it to the professor she gave us a cautionary voice and advised us to think this out more thorough.

I did and came up with a fridge that has a second dispenser opposite of a water/ice dispenser, that is easily hidden and fed by a removable plastic container. I was inspired by my humidifier. The tank easily removes and is easily filled. So I came up with this design on the inside of the door of the fridge. Best part? If you're not using it you can cover the dispenser with a matching sliding door and remove the tank to replace it with shelving.

I guess this is how things are, you may not get to do the project you want, but you can be creative and make it better with some thought.

I was still getting breakouts as recently as 3 months ago.

Then 3 months ago, I got a cool humidifier (this one)

Have not had a breakout since, I wake up fresh etc. Even my cat is now less crabby but she did become more needy now.

You are correct my friend. You do need a humidifier and a dehumidifier. Do not get a misting humidifier as they can cause mold. Get a [evaporative humidifier] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=asc_df_B002QAYJPO4967573/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B002QAYJPO&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167159788949&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15791408957828538647&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033130&hvtargid=pla-274332398544) and keep it at 65% tell week two of flower. Drop it 5% a week tell you hit 45%. Make sure you have proper ventilation and get a humidifier twice as big as you think you will need.

The Sweethome just did a write up on humidifiers. They recommended the Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier, HCM-350.

Amazon link
Sweethome rightup

definitely will help you not feel dried out. also consider leaving 1-2 inches of water in your bathtub, can help w/ household humidity.

you want a cool mist humidifier, not the hot mist (unless you want to use it for head colds w/ Vicks).

all humidifiers get nasty if you dont clean them. use purified/filtered or distilled water whenever possible. Clean the thing out once a week.

​

https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HCM350W-Germ-Humidifier-White/dp/B002QAYJPO

So it sounds like we can rule out dirty vents aggravating allergies since its like radiant heat & not forced air. That leaves the very low relative humidity as the most likely culprit for aggravating sinus issues. I personally have this issue during winter which really messes with my sleep quality & makes me even groggier in the morning. A good humidifier right next to my bed helps quite a bit w/ that so I'd recommend trying that & having a weather station that includes indoor humidity or just a cheap humidity sensor to help you monitor it.

For an initial solution I've had a good experience w/ cool-wicking humidifiers from Hunter if you want to try a cheap option 1st & I currently have this Honeywell which is great if you can afford a little more high end:
-Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_cOZXDbY47PV2D

My ENT & plenty of reviews I've seen online have all said to avoid ultrasonic or warm mist humidifiers as they can add impurities or even ozone to the air. An Evaporative / Cool Mist humidifier is what you want.

I've also personally benefitted from smearing some Ayr Saline Gel around my nostrils before bed to keep my sinuses moist while I sleep so that’s another super cheap option worth trying:
-Ayr Saline Nasal Gel, With Soothing Aloe, 0.5 Ounce Tube https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010NSC1U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_49ZXDb7GBXTYZ

You may have trouble keeping your entire room well humidified depending on the size so maybe see if right next to bed w/ the air flowing towards you is good enough or if you need to invest in a room-sized solution. I've had great experience w/ product advice from the online chat at AllergyBuyersClub.com if you end up having to do that. Good luck feeling better!

I've gone through a lot of humidifiers and this one is by far the best: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Germ-Free-Humidifier-HCM-350/dp/B002QAYJPO/

It's super easy to clean, which is the main problem I've had with humidifiers. Since most of the hard water deposits are absorbed into the disposable filter, you can hand or machine wash the base with normal soap and water. It's also cleaner and more hygienic than those awful ultrasonic humidifiers.

$5-20: Mentholated ointment, over the counter antihistamines, Neti pot, nasal irrigator. For the sore throat, menthol lozenges, essential oils (peppermint), and oral anesthetics (Cepacol) can't be beat.

$30-$50: Vapor inhaler and humidifier

$50-$100: Air purifier, better air purifier

(And no, I don't work for Honeywell... their filters are just cheap and easy to come by)

My Honeywell humidifier has been fantastic, it is not a huge tank as requested by OP but I fill it once a day and it has helped me breathe clearly for the past few months. It's continuing to work wonders on the dry winter air too. I read about there being problems with the replacement filters but I hope I have better luck when it comes time to replace my filter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAYJPO

Purchase something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1502768623&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=silica+moisture&dpPl=1&dpID=51-vVkHaYfL&ref=plSrch

Put it in your kegerator and it'll keep the moisture under control. No water at the bottom :)

I have that same safe, and I use this dessicant pack. I just pop it in the oven for a couple hours once a month to reactivate it, and it seems to keep the safe quite dry. I also bought these lights and mounted one under the inside top of the safe and one under the shelf, so when I reach in they turn on and illuminate the guns nicely.

Stanley 655704 Multi Purpose Pivoting Utility Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006O6FA22/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_6fv3tb1VN2XFA5RV

for circulating air I would recommend something in this style rather then a tower. if you just want a breeze on you then other styles are better

I have this one, which I think is very similar: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-655704-Velocity-Blower-Yellow/dp/B006O6FA22/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=3L8SV9CRS6813&keywords=stanley+blower+fan&qid=1550773147&s=gateway&sprefix=stanley+blo&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Very happy with it.

I just got this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=twister_B00NOOY32U?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Took all of 5 minutes (no joke) to setup, and I can roll it away when it's not needed and put it in the closet.

Instead of going through all of this with trying to fix it yourself, why don't you spend $300 on a portable AC unit? When you move out, you can sell it to your neighbor or on craigslist for almost what you paid.

Also, if you fix it yourself and it doesn't work out, they can blame you and charge you your deposit.

https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Control/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=70PDRD4XQ7XZ9DVCACBN

Can you not just get a floor ac unit like this

If you’re willing to spend, how about an air purifier? this one has a very smooth noise band. no rattle or buzz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BTKAPUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XZfXAbZ5AD8WA

From one of the links in my first post, this Conway seems well-rated and with decently-priced replacement filters. I'm afraid I don't know anything about German import costs though. The Conway allows the ionizer function to be turned off. The reviews appear to be legitimate as well.

I've been very happy with this Coway filter. My favorite feature is that you can set it so it measures air quality and turns itself up when it detects extra particulate, and then turns itself back down when it's cleaned up.

Good call! We also just purchased two air purifiers (one for office, one for home) for the "Fall Season."

Awesome. Thank you so much for the recommendation. Ive been considering a $200 model by Honeywell, that has a pre carbon fllter and then a double HEPA filter, this one. But i will check out yours, thank you again.

If you look at the last image in the preview for this Honeywell air purifier you can see the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rating) for a few different impurities. You should try to find these ratings for your air purifier to compare, the higher the number the better.

Otherwise, look into allergen reducing mattress and pillow covers if you haven't already. Washing sheets regularly should also help a little.

I hope you end up finding some relief, let me know if you have any more questions.

This is the one I have. I usually put it on turbo after some cleaning and stirring up dust. Otherwise I put it on high when I'm away, medium when I am around because of noise and low when I sleep. Its perfect for some white noise.

I have these scattered around the house:

Not OP, but I really like my HPA300. It was Consumer Report's top pick when I bought it. They also make a 200 and a 100 if you have a smaller room.

I've got a HEPA air purifier thing. One of these:

I still get dust on crap in my room, but it happens at a slower rate than with the rest of the house.

Really not sure how to train her not to jump on your game shelves. Cats usually like to climb up high. You can lay down some double-sided tape at the edges of the shelves, which will freak her out everytime she jumps on them until she remember not to jump up there.

Large air purifier.

Run this thing on Turbo Mode next to your head and you won't hear a thing from the white noise. The clean air is a bonus.

It's worked well for me as I've yet to have an issue with moist filament, but I print in an upstairs room where the humidity rarely goes over ~35% unless it's raining, in which case it can get as high as 50%.

PLA is less susceptible to issues regarding moisture but that does not make it immune. AFAIK all of the common filaments (PLA, PETG, ABS & Nylon - more or less in that order) can all become moist.

I'd suggest getting a humidity sensor such as this one and see what the humidity is like in your basement: https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-Accuracy-Temperature-Humidity-Monitor/dp/B01HDW58GS

Also, in my experience most PLA doesn't usually have much noticeable odor. What brand of filament are you using?

You may want to consider a dry box setup such as one of these:

There are also commercially available options.

Costco has these for $16/2pack. I bought several and leave one in every car, even my daily. Once it goes blue, just plug it in overnight and it evaporates all the moisture it trapped. Really helps with smells and mold.

Edit forgot the link Eva-dry E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier 2-PACK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LVN7BM0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BXa1CbQ8HE9ZE

I keep mine on a wire shelving unit leftover from my college days (similarish to this
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06Y3M91XD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_uVMFzb0HH8QPN but with smaller spaces between the wires). I have no idea what kind of coating (if any) the metal has, so I lined the bottoms with parchment paper. Like you, I've only been soaping for a few months, but I haven't had any problems with reaction/rust. My soaps currently live in my bedroom, partially hidden from sunlight (due to space; I didn't even think about light when positioning it, to be honest). I keep my ceiling fan on all the time, and since I live in a humid climate, I also got a little mini dehumidifier that sits right next to the soap (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00LVN7BM0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_XYMFzb9PQ3QDM). I haven't experienced any orange spots.

If you find a cheap shelving system that's otherwise perfect, you might be able to rig up some inexpensive fabric curtains that would still allow for air flow but block some light.

You should look into the little rechargable dehumidifier bricks that you put into gun safes. At least we do over here in the States. Basically it's this plastic thing filled with stuff and you put it wherever and it will absorb moisture from the air in that area. It changes color when "full", then you plug it into a micro USB outlet for 10 mins or so and it is good to go. I have a dozen or so from Amazon and they work great at keeping my guns rust-free, I imagine they would do the same thing for books. Bonus points if it your bookcase has a glass front.

Examplee:

https://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier-2-PACK/dp/B00LVN7BM0/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=gun+safe+dehumidifier&qid=1570704028&sr=8-4

I use the EvaDry desiccant cartridges. They are full of desiccant and they have a wall plug. When the desiccant changes color you just plug it in for a while and it's recharged. I use these sealed storage tubs that hold around 10 spools of filament. Humidity indicating strip taped to the top and I can always check to see how things are going, plus I can see what color filament is in each tub when I'm looking for a particular filament.

Insulation question. Did a quick search and didn't find too much on what I wanted to know.

We did most of our insulation with polyiso and a little bit of reflectix to cover gaps. I doubt the reflectix will do much, but it's better than bare metal.

A friend recommended denim to stuff in the nooks and crannies, so I went ahead with that, but now I'm having some concerns about if it will mold. I've heard denim is mold-resistant, but not impervious to mold. We have a roof fan and are getting window vents to keep air flowing. I also have some passive dehumidifiers.

We aren't living in the van, just using it for (mostly) weekend trips, but maybe a one- to two-month stint here and there. We didn't install a heater, but have a Mr. Heater Portable Buddy. I know those cause quite a bit of condensation.

TLDR: should I rip out all the denim I stuffed in the nooks and crannies? I do not want to do fiberglass, and wool is a little hard to get here, AFAIK.

P.S. How do you guys do the flair? I've got a 2019 Promaster WIP.

Is the flooring already secured onto the metal? You reeeaaaallllyyyy need to put down a moisture barrier. Rust and mold are the van killers, and it’s way too easy for moisture to get trapped behind the paneling. Either way definitely get a dehumidifier. At the very minimum, one under the sink next to your water tanks and one by the bed area. These Are awesome, reuseable (for like. 10 years.) and good for small spaces.
Best of luck to you, safe travels!

I like the eva-dry renewable dehumidifiers. I got the two pack and use one in the keezer and one in my fermentation chamber. When the balls turn blue, just plug it in for a couple of hours to renew.

For a drip tray, I bought some strong magnets and mounted them on the tray. That's strong enough to hold a glass or two if I need to set one down, but still comes off easily enough for cleaning.

I haven't done a fan yet. I didn't think I needed one, but I've started getting some "first pull" foaming issues lately that I believe is due to temperature differentials for the beer in the line at the shank/faucet vs. in the keg. I haven't decided what I'm going to do about that yet.

I have this one. It’s been great but can’t get my 2000 sq ft basement below 52% or so.

Here it is

Weird. Sorry about that. Here is the link to the brand I have. It's a frigidaire. https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-70-Pint-Dehumidifier-Effortless-Humidity/dp/B00UWP07LK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523633997&sr=8-1&keywords=dehumidifier+frigidaire

Are you allowed to plug in a small air purifier at your desk? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DK35B/ref=psdc_510192_t1_B0000TMDY2

On the low setting they're usually really quiet. The one we put in our bedroom makes a huge difference with musty smells.

Someone mentioned something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DK35B/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2ATIDTVHDK2KA&coliid=I3MLL7N8KC13WR&psc=1

A liquid cooler isn't going to fix your dust problem - you typically install the fans on the radiator as intake, so you'll be sucking in outside air anyway. Magnetic dust filters are a good idea, or maybe you can pick up something like this to cut down on dust near your PC.

Other than that, dust is just a problem no matter what, and you'll need to clean our your PC every once in a while.

Fixed: First off, thank you guys so much for your advice. This forum is a huge boon to owning a photon. Passing it forward, the problem was solved after I did the following:

1. Cleaning the dust out of the room the printer was in and buying an Air purifyier/filter for $50 on Amazon and setting it up so it was right next to the printer, sucking air from underneath the printer where the intake fan is.
   
   
2. After cleaning the room, I bought a bottle of Elegoo Gray. See Here. This stuff is amazing.

My wife and I vape inside and have these by our computer chairs.

https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-3-Speed-Purifier-Optional-Ionizer/dp/B0000DK35B/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510790944&sr=8-3&keywords=holmes+air+purifier&dpID=51sw2QN7khL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Great question. I'm using a (Holmes) air purifier with a carbon based filer from at least 15 years ago that is still running strong in my computer room (old version of this, and one of those cylinder type Honeywell HEPA purifiers in the bedroom. I change the filter on the hoilmes once it shows that its absorbed enough to make it a certain color, which amounts to about once every few years. The honeywell uses two filters, one acts much like the fan filters on your computer (foam, I rinse it clean pretty regularly), the other is a HEPA that I have never replaced (two years running). Now when I say that either of these are running strong, I mean not anywhere as strong as the AC filter, but still effective enough to run all day long and in the winter. Both push a little bit more air than the computer intakes.

As far as recommendations, depending on your budget, you have a lot of options with today's technology. If you're looking for the equivalent of an air cleaner benchmark you might want to look into the CADR, though those ratings are typically based on the unit being on highest speeds, which if you're like me is NEVER! Ideally, you'd use the biggest (affordable) cleaner running at low-med speeds. I use a pretty small one at the lowest speed when I'm in the room, and at medium when I'm sleeping/working. You can get some ideas on what you're getting into by looking at this Consumer Reports guide, or you can see what filters are most popular by checking the Amazon top sellers.

I'm thinking of getting an electrostatic filter sometime soon. Perhaps even one of the water based ones. Stay away from the cheapo hamilton beach stuff.

...Or you could just buy an air purifier that does the "fog removal" portion for $27 dollars. I have one in my office and it works wonders.

Surprised I haven't seen it here, but a small, desktop HEPA air purifier w a charcoal filter element on top of it will take care of the (flux) fumes.

Buy a carbon air filter purifier.

http://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HAP242-UC-HEPA-Type-Desktop-Purifier/dp/B0000DK35B/ref=sr_1_7?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1346095978&sr=1-7

Use the vap and blow the leftover smoke into the intake of the air purifier. The carbon will completely absorb any smell and smoke and return clean, fresh air. You'll need to buy new filters every 4-6 months or so depending how much you use it. They also have fresh scented filters.

I don't know what an income purifier is. For pm2.5 if it's really bad you want a normal mechanical air filter with a HEPA filter or an Ionic filter. Ionic filters do create ozone however, so if you're susceptible to ozone it's not the best choice. I have this one at the office right now. You can get a combination of plants to deal with bad air pretty effectively as well, but most people prefer a small air purifier to a whole bunch of plants.

Maybe this one? https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Mid-Size-Whole-Room-Circulator/dp/B000E5WAUO

I have a Vornado fan in the mid/back of my room pointed to the ceiling. Room is 4'X4'X8' enclosure with two 300W LED lights (I'll get more watts in the future) and a 6" in-line exhaust with passive intake.

Circulates well, room is temp stable at around 82f degrees, humidity ranges from 38-60% depending on when I'm watering and misting. Tends to fall in the mid 40's most of the time.

I This fan is awesome

Like others have mentioned, keep your place as dark as possible, and make sure you have ice in your dogs water bowl.

The Vornado helped me a lot in LA, it felt way cooler (maybe 10 degrees F) after having it on for about 30-60mins

If you don’t like the breeze and want to cool the whole room try one of these

I’m gonna get one before summer and from what I’ve read they cool the whole room better while also not blowing directly on you

It should. I've actually got this problem now. I installed an Ryzen 2700x along with one of my GTX 1080s into an NZXT 200i as a test a couple of weeks ago and it overheats and shuts down almost instantly as soon as I try to launch a game. This is with the biggest AIO I could fit in it along with four 140mm fans installed. With the side off and this fan fan blowing in, temps stay low to mid 30s, even at full load.

One of the Vornado fans up against the opened window would help a lot - I used to think they were overpriced normal fans but they're legit a huge help for room circulation, read the reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Mid-Size-Whole-Room-Circulator/dp/B000E5WAUO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549075724&sr=8-3&keywords=Vornado+fan

This is the fan you want. I had one gifted to me by a fellow fan officianado. It is extremely loud and drowns out all other noise. It’s fan function works well too

Are you talking about this? I got one in addition to this Vornado and I have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed, but it's so cheap that I really can't complain. The vornado on the other hand it's pretty good, but maybe not as powerful at the Lasko that they suggested you below.

I can't really help you with a clip fan, but I've had a Vornado 630 running on full speed in each of my tents for over a year now, with zero issues. They're very well made. I won't hesitate to buy more in the future.

https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Mid-Size-Whole-Room-Circulator/dp/B000E5WAUO

First suggestion is to address the snoring... not only bad for you, but good chance it is terrible for his/her sleep. Tried nasal strips or positional therapy (ie, learning to sleep on stomach, etc) yet? Beyond that there's oral appliances or cpap machines or more invasive procedures.

As far as addressing noise, suggest ear plugs and white noise. IMHO best is decent mid-sized fan, vornado is my pick after trying a few (like this one). Also there are a bunch of white noise machines if you don't like the breeze... probs can find an app that does it over speakers if you want to try it out.

This is the dehumidifier I was thinking about. It doesn't have a compressor and I've read others post about using ones like this with the Peltier technology with success. Hopefully it'll work out.

If I upgrade to a larger chamber I'll probably spend a little extra and get a better controller too. But for a first one I'm hoping this works out.

Well I have 2 fans in there and a small dehumidifier that help with the temps, then I also put in a 1 liter frozen water bottle per day to make sure my rez is nice and cold. I have never had a temp higher that 83 degrees.

We bought [this](http://Eva-dry Edv-1100 Electric Petite Dehumidifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0ZDD2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Y7huzb0K23SA6) for our fanless bathroom and it worked great!

"Eva-Dry Dehumidifier" on Amazon. You can also try "Gurin Dehumidifier"
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=eva-dry+humidifier

 

I have this one (it's not too big: 6.8 x 8.5 x 14)
http://www.amazon.com/Eva-Dry-Edv-2200-Eva-dry-Dehumidifier-Mid-Size/dp/B001QTW6KQ

 

Smaller one (which probably means it's takes longer to lower humidity)
http://www.amazon.com/Eva-Dry-Edv-1100-Eva-dry-Electric-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0ZDD2

 

To give you an idea what to expect when the dehumidifier turns on, here is a chart -- I have a bunch of temp/humidity sensors connected to an Arduino that uploads to the cloud and keeps history :)

• http://imgur.com/DLmhnrv
  
• The lines in the 76-80 range are humidity.
  
• The lines in the 52-57 range are temperature.
  
• When humidity reaches ~80, the dehumidifier turns on and pulls it down to ~77. Though the dehumidifier turns on @ 80, you can see there's a slight lag in moisture reduction because humidity climbs to 82.
  
• It takes 5 minutes to lower the humidity from 80 to 77.
  
• When the dehumidifier kicks on, it's generating heat so the fridge gets warmer which you can see in the temperature stair-stepping. Implying that your fridge will cycle slightly more often (in my case hourly).
  
• The really big dips down in humidity are when the fridge cycles (cools). It temporarily sucks all that moisture but it quickly returns :)

So I have opened the window, kept the door open (it’s only me and my s/o). And we have this guy.

We personally haven’t done anything to this bathroom except fixed some grout

Just bought the mini version and this guy. Fairly inexpensive and work great.

I'd use a hand towel to wipe down the windows daily. You could also look into getting a small dehumidifier. I recently bought this one on Amazon to stay on top of our bathroom that never seemed to be able to dry out. I've definitely noticed a difference since starting to use it. It pulls up to 8 oz of water out of the air daily, and it's small enough to sit on the counter.

Like others have said, the lack of AC is only really a problem for the first 2-3 weeks and the last week. It's best to bring a pair of box fans (like so) between yourself and your roommate and set them on the window sill blowing in.

Pros:

• Tark-Mart (Boiler Junction). Holy hell the Tark-Mart. You can literally walk to a mini-grocery store in nothing but your PJs without going outside. Want 12 packs of soda? Got it. Donuts? Got it. Frozen foods? Got it. Milk shakes? Got it. Chips? Condoms? Shampoo? Office supplies? Candy? Power Aid? THEY GOT IT.
  
• Dorm-wide WiFi. Tarkington (at least in 2012-2013) was the pilot for a WiFi implementation of ResNet. If you're too cheap for a wireless router, this'll save you some money.
  
• Excellent community. Seriously, easily one of the best, most open communities of all campus res halls. Made some great friends in my time there.
  
• The CoRec is right across the street, making for easy workouts.
  
• Wiley and Ford, the two closest dining courts (within 3 minutes of the dorm by foot) are hands down the best on campus.
  
• ~10 minute walk to the Engineering campus if you hustle.
  
  Cons:
  
  
• The AC issue is probably the largest.
  
• The building is a bit on the older side, so don't be surprised when facilities (like plumbing) choke or get dirty rapidly. Then again, it is a men's dorm.
  
• The Boiler Special will drive up Jischke and N. Stadium every Saturday morning during football season, blasting its horn and party music. It will wake you up, I guarantee it.

Personally - this is the best bang for the buck - Here

I am not sure I understand. Is it too hot in your room? Is the PC running too hot?

Just buy a box fan and makeshift something to make it airtight in your window.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3723-20-Inch-Premium-3-SPEED/dp/B000HHJ2I2

Or try a hanging fan: https://www.amazon.com/Wall-Mounted-Fans/b?ie=UTF8&node=11194456011

Here you go

premium cooler, not sure why it wasn't included standard in your build tbh, seems like a major oversight.

Like this?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lasko-3723-20-Inch-Premium-3-SPEED/dp/B000HHJ2I2/

this should do it Laptop Cooling Fan

but seriously, you want something with a mesh. The bigger the fan the more air it can push and be run quieter. Nothing short of running it in a refrigerator is going to make too much of a difference if it's caked in dust. Get a can of air and try blowing it out in the vents.

Have you considered one of these Holmes window fans? I've seen a ton of them at Goodwill, recently. Perhaps you could check your local Goodwill.

I have this Lasko box fan. It has a lot of power. It'll blow air, for sure. You aren't going to want to sit directly in its stream, though, or it'll dry out your throat and give you a headache. If it's cool outside, you can stick it on HIGH in the window, and your room will cool down in a couple of minutes.

If you need simple air circulation on the cheap, get a knock-off Vornado Honeywell air circulator. It'll move air around your bedroom fairly well. Just make sure you aim it across the room at a corner, like this.

You can also get a high velocity fan if you don't mind the noise.

Oh, absolutely! I'm so glad this helped you. (I've got an October baby that's 5 months old now. It's a great month! Congrats!!)


Here's a bonus tip on peacefully quarantining cats: I came up with it because my husband and I had two cats who would keep us up all night, and if we shut them out of the bedroom, they would rattle the door and shred the carpet (in an apartment!!) until it had a big bald patch on it:


Shut the door and put a box fan in front of it. So easy! Here's an example, although I've seen them for around $20 other places


Some cats may not care... But this stopped ours from clawing under the door and making noise. They didn't like the air blowing in their faces. Also, bonus white noise! It was so simple, I was mad at myself for not thinking of it before permanent damage was done. Still, it saved us from losing our deposit on two subsequent apartments. :)

$27 for a 4" fan? He'd be better off with some of these, less noise and more airflow.

i've been doing some research myself and there's http://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HAOF87BLZ-UC-Blizzard-Adjustable-Table/dp/B000J07RMU it has pretty wide area coverage, i used to have a cabinet grow using these fans. :D

I have 2 of these, they are push a decent amount of air and I put a few holes into the base and have them zip tied to the walls.

Honestly a couple small fans do the trick for me.

I hang or lay everything out so that it's get some air flow, spray everything with an odour killer, and let the fans do the work.

This is the model I use:

https://www.amazon.ca/Holmes-Blizzard-7-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=asc_df_B000J07RMU/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=234376523249&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=650750073271078143&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000664&hvtargid=pla-293946777986&psc=1

I found it on sale in a local home store for like $18, bought two ten years and never looked back.

If you read my other comments, you will see that I have all 5 vents/holes open and in the 6th, I have this 8" fan blowign inward, on high.
https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Blizzard-8-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU

It is still suctioned to the max.

I just went ahead and bought a 6" AC Infinity Cloudline T6 last night. It is only 330cfm vs the 750cfm the 8" inline fan is.

The beds have little shelves that you can attach to the head (or you can request one from facilities if you don't have one.)

Or you can install a window fan, or I personally just had one of these that I put against the window.

This is a bit larger than those USB fans, but still able to reasonably sit on a desk. It moves a lot more air.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU/

Here is a small 8" one: https://smile.amazon.com/Holmes-Blizzard-8-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=small+oscillating+fan&qid=1555104639&s=gateway&sr=8-3

They work pretty well, I was using two for a good while. I recently upgraded to a tower fan https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-Quiet-Whole-Room-Tower/dp/B01N2P6V5P/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=tower+fan&qid=1555104710&s=gateway&sr=8-5

The tower fan is more powerful, quieter, and more efficient. It's worked super well for me! It takes up a good bit of space in my 2'x4'x6' tent, but I think it's worth it to have a fan, and it doesn't really take up much more floor space than the small 8" one (2x 8" fans take up more space than 1x tower fan). I hope this helps!

It's about as loud on the low setting as a normal box fan on medium, but the air flow is next level.

I use a very similar Lasko blower, which I chose after seeing them at my LBS's CompuTrainer studio.

But if you really need the power, try what my buddy at work uses: Power Cat 1200XL.

hmmm . . . . fans . . . . essential for indoors (you don't get the airflow you have biking outside) .. ... these are pretty good value https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-Pro-Performance-Blower-4900/dp/B001DNGSCM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549474949&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Lasko+2265QM+20-Inch one is good, two are ideal.

i meant to comment on this days ago. get him a small centrifugal/blower fan http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-Pro-Performance-Blower-4900/dp/B001DNGSCM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414374872&sr=8-2&keywords=blower+fan

or

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JRPS60A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

they take air in from the side, and shoot it out in a straight beam. they are very direction. kinda neat.

or tell the parents about them. they could get him one as a present. keep in mind, the cheaper battery powered one is cheaply consturcted. after a week or so, mine developed a bit of a buzz/rattling noise while it's on.

My fan looks similar to the Airking you mentioned. However I still find myself wishing I had more airflow, and tweaking the left/right angle of the fan to get max airflow on me. Where do you position your fan? Is it elevated, or floor level in front of your front wheel? I've been thinking of getting some like this air mover to compliment (or replace) the axial fan I have. I ride inside all year around, and probably spend total 60% of my training time inside...

> I've seen a lot of discussion about the squirrel cage fans. I hadn't considered adding a fan and ventilating through the front and back of my garage. What fan do you recommend.

Something like this?

Thanks!

I have something similar to that setup but the fan wasn't enough to keep 4 7970's cool so I had to step it up a bit. I bought a fan that's used to dry floors and circulate air during home improvement projects. It works pretty slick and it's adjustable, not to mention it moves a boat load of air. I just have it blowing the heat out a window for the most part when it's not raining. Also got some risers of Amazon that work well.

I don't know what type of fans you are interested in. The fan in the link is the one I have and its the best I have ever had the experience of using. It's quiet on its low setting, and it's high setting is very strong, and feels amazing after being in the heat all day. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DNGSCM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1462588063&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Stanley+fan&dpPl=1&dpID=51FamngPpIL&ref=plSrch

This fan. Turn it on high and aim it at you. If you want to be downright frigid get a spray bottle of water and mist yourself. The evaporative cooling will ice you down quick.

If something like the Noria ever actually launches and is reasonably priced I'd be tempted to get one for the bedroom.

AIRCARE MA1201 Whole-House Console-Style Evaporative Humidifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S34ISA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IN0BybHSHSVJB

Or something like it. Get cool mist. Warm is too hard to maintain.

The one in the link above is ugly, but it's big enough to really get the humidity you want (30-40%) when it's really dry.

I had to scrap mine and ended up trying others - now I have to have 2 to replace the work of that one.

This one also rated well, but I don't have personal experience with it.

Dampits CAN make a tiny difference if you use them properly and with a cover. But, generally, that's only for a little extra protection. Drop the money on a real humidifier especially with all your other instruments.

Lastly, don't overhumidify - you'll get mold.

I got another one that you can set timer :) Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3ZjxCb7XTGJ84

sounds good, this is the humidifier i have. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=pe_385040_127541850_TE_item

Currently my heater is just one of them portable electric radiators, i hope... it works but i may need to invest in something else.

Do you know of any budget fans/hepa solutions?

I have been meaning to go to home depot to look again but all the ones i find online are like $250+

CO2 will also be added in a few stages (the sensor is so expensive like 50 bux).

Do you run it every night? I started using our cold mist humidifier the first time my 5 month old had congestion. We turned it on every evening and off during the day. The filter got moldy smelling after a week. The directions say the filter should last longer and to clean the tank and base weekly. It also says to let dry between uses. So should it just be used for a day or two at a time? There's no way the filter would dry out during the day unless we empty it and put the filter somewhere out to dry, it doesn't seem practical. I'm curious how other people use theirs. (I have this Honeywell humidifier: Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002QAYJPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w04RDbN7MKDQK )

Does it have to be warm/cool mist? I got a Honeywell HCM-350, which is a evaporative model (uses a fan with a filter to humidify the air), and it works well at keeping my room at ~40-45% humidity. Here's a review, along with their recommendation for warm/cool mist options.

Hey, it’s hard to answer your question since the information you provided is very general.
What kind of plants do you have? Tropical plants require more humidity. Calatheas, for example, need tons. Also, how big is the room where your plants are? Maybe you’ll have to have 2 humidifiers. It’s better to buy a humidity meter (the hydrometer) to know how dry/humid your air is.
I personally have this kind
I love it so far, but I had to idea it needed the filters to be changed so frequently (like once in 2 months)
It rises my humidity to around 60-70%, and it’s enough for my plants. I run it day and night, ‘cause I need it for myself too.

I use two of these humidifiers, no monitors though. During this project, I saw that my sensors were reading around 50% before putting them inside the boxes.

Are you talking about these?

https://www.amazon.com/Dry-Packs-Gram-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier/dp/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=sr_1_9?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1472750900&sr=1-9&keywords=dessicant

Enough of these, and any reasonably tight cabinet becomes a dessicator.

Best bet?

Buy a $5 clear plastic tote, drill a little 2.5mm hole in the side, put the spool coaster in there and put 1 of these in there:

http://www.amazon.com/Dry-Packs-Gram-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier/dp/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1411685410&sr=8-16&keywords=desiccant

Now you have a drying box to keep nasty moisture out of your filament and its protected from dust / hair.

Depending on size of box, you can even store multiple rolls of filament in there and keep them all dry and ready to go.

I have used a bigger metal containers more desiccant for the money and a good container
http://www.amazon.com/Dry-Packs-Gram-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier/dp/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1464254806&sr=8-12&keywords=dessicant

Someone mentioned putting Mimi litter in a sock:
http://www.amazon.com/Mimi-Litter-Crystals-Absorbent-Lightweight/dp/B00I6N5WCE/

There are special reusable colour-changing silica gel packs that you can buy.

They start out one colour - like red, but once they become saturated with water and no longer work, they turn blue. Then you dry them out and use them all over again.

I would recommend picking up some of these to keep with your art materials.

If they never turn colour, you know your supplies are safe.

If they turn very slowly, you'll know you don't have too much to worry about.

If they turn right away, you know you need to redesign your art storage ASAP.

non-affiliate amazon link: https://www.amazon.ca/Dry-Packs-Silica-Canister-Dehumidifier-Moisture-Indicating/dp/B003QZ6PZ0

this one is what I have but the only gel colored is the one in the lid. When baking, the steam rises and the gel in the cap never actually dries properly if you keep it vertical. Need to test it more with drying horizontal or even upside down to see if the colors reset properly.

I use two of these containers, one for PLA one for ABS:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DJOP2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I put two of these in each container:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are very big, bigger than most car oil filters. At the rate they are going (in Florida) I probably won't have to bake the silica but every 6 months. So maybe that would be an option for you? My humidity meter doesn't go low enough to measure the humidity when the container is closed and sealed (it has an o-ring on the lid). I think the meter won't go below 22% humidity or something along that range.

When you open up the container cool breeze comes out of it (again in Florida outdoors).

I'm using these. Cheap, Amazon Prime eligible, they seem to work pretty well. The seals aren't exactly great, but they should keep out anything not too determined.

I also add a large silica gel dehumidifier to the dextrose container to help prevent clumping. I dry it out in the oven every couple months.

I got this from amazon, which I have seen somewhere here in /r/3dprinting recomended

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QZ6PZ0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got something like this from Home Depot. It might not have been this exact one, but it's similar. Latching lid. It'll hold 5 or 6 spools, no problem and you can see right through the sides and top.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-70-Qt-Ultra-Storage-Box-19888604/204606576

Then, I got a couple of these. They suck the moisture right out of the air and when the beads on top turn greenish, you just take the lid off and bake them for several hours to drive the moisture off and recharge them. This size is designed for large home safes and can service 50 or so cubic feet, so it'll last long enough in the box to not be a nuisance and constantly needing recharging.

https://amazon.com/gp/product/B003QZ6PZ0/

Finally, I got a battery powered hygrometer with an alarm on it, set it to 30%, and threw everything in the box. A single canister keeps the box at around 25% humidity, and that's with nothing done to the lid to make it seal better and be more airtight. The other canister stays in the box, but sealed up in a couple of ziploc bags to keep it from picking up moisture. When the grains in the canister turn green or the alarm goes off, the sealed up canister comes out of its bag and replaces the in service canister. The in service canister goes into the oven for 6-8 hours to recharge (don't forget to remove the lid so the window doesn't melt). Once it's recharged, I let it cool, then it goes into the ziploc bags ready for the next swap.

One of those canisters will bring the humidity in the box from 60-70% down to 20-30% in an hour. Two tops.

If the case is air tight you could throw one of
these in it.

You can use a powerful fan to blow into your room after your shower. It will spread the moisture out and the ac will take care of it.

Like a air mover

Point it up in the air toward the room.

A dehumidifier is going to heat the room up, then the ac will have to cool it back down.

Get a small blower type fan that is normally used by carpet cleaners. They move a lot of air in a concentrated path. You can set it up just far enough away to hit your entire upper body. I have this and it works well : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006O6FA22/

I don't have my own shop I'm renting space in a furniture shop. I do CNC work so I mostly just sit around, drink beer, and watch YouTube while my CNC machine does all the work. Since the shop isn't air conditioned it gets pretty hot during the middle of the day here in Hawaii. The fan also has two outlets on the side, I normally just have my spare rechargeable AA battery's for my Bluetooth hearing protection charging off of it.

firstworldproblems

I like to use these high power centrifugal fans from Amazon.

My School is a bit different. Because we're in Hawaii all of our classrooms are open air all year round. But it's already getting to be unbearable and will be unbearable in like August.

I'm not sure where they sell these other than hardware stores and amazon. But these fans are STRONG and amazingly quiet. I have two in my classroom, soon to be three for the next upcoming school year. If there's anyone else that has a better solution I would love that as well. Our buildings are so old we can't get an AC because it would short circuit the building.

i kind of feel terrible after a long soldering session so came up with this.

before I was using one of these..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006O6FA22/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687502&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0001BJDUQ&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0TG3BA29NCXDFPKVMHT9

You can do the same thing with this with an output side adapter similar to mine.

I like the little shop style turbine fans like

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006O6FA22/

Mind that you don't have fans fighting against each other so to speak, nor should you be over-revving them... just feed them air, dont help or hinder the fan on the GPU itself or you may risk damaging them.

Just got back from buying one of these portable units from Best Buy. The Washington Square location had about 10 of them in stock, priced at $449 on the floor. Price-matching to Amazon was easy, literally just showed them my phone, bringing the price to $349.

I spent a couple of hours researching models in the $300-$500 range and this one was consistently rated well (#1 selling model on Amazon too).

Hope this helps!

I found your solution


They make much cheaper models, but those are really only suited for hot/dry climates. I'm assuming Philly is pretty humid. This unit actually takes the humidity out of the air and evaporates it to cool off the room. It's cheaper than an ac and will work better than 4 fans blowing hot air on you

If you could rig a 4" to 6" circular vent anywhere (for instance, into the hallway or up and out of the skylight) you could get a portable air conditioner like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Dehumidifier/dp/B00B2BTAV6 - they work great for smaller spaces.

The roll around one I have works with both horizontal and vertical sliding windows.

I got it because my apartment building doesn't allow us to have the box air conditioner units that stick out. The one I have has a vent hose that goes out any window. Comes with a bracket to seal off the open part of the window. here's the one I bought off of Amazon It's more expensive than it was last year apparently.

> https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-SRCOOL12K-Portable-Conditioner/dp/B002XITVCK

That is pretty expensive you could find a residential unit similar for cheaper https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2BTAV6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Regardless of what you pickup it requires an exhaust vent to actually go outside. Hot air comes out of the hose so if the hose is just in the room... it won't do any good

Power Supplies will be the first thing to go

I was amazed when I found out I could get a 50+(?) pound portable A/C unit with Prime. And only $25 for overnighting it in a heat wave

We had a few "closets" at my old job in some dorms that did not have AC.

Is a portable AC unit an option?

Linky

https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-MN10CESWW-Portable-Conditioner-Control/dp/B00B2BTAV6/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1483168244&sr=1-2&keywords=portable+air+conditioner

It seems you can even put it in the cigarette charger.

I don´t know if this is an option for you. And maybe I´m way off with how much power it actually uses, but apparently it takes 240 watts. I haven´t been looking into the whole solarpower thing yet, but 2 solar panels might cover it. And it has a lot of good reviews, that´s always a plus.

I bought this used for $150 amd it has been a life saver. Would cool my apt living room very quickly.

I am in a similar apartment. It gets stifling once the days really warm up and thee sun starts setting further to the N. Install some light blocking curtains if you can.

I bought this unit Honeywell MN10CESWW 10,000 BTU Portable A C Which works great in terms of blowing ice cold air. The apartment has a built in hole in the wall for attaching the air hose.

However, even thought the AC unit works great, it just can't keep up with the heat in terms of cooling the entire space. The studio apt was well above 75 for a few months in a row. Sitting in front of the AC fan stream worked well enough to have a comfortable-ish evening after work. I did not install curtains because I didn't want to deal with patching the hardware holes once I move. I might cave and put them in this year though.

yup, this.

I have a Coway one which always turns on after its been turned back on the smartplug.

I also have a winix one that does not turn on when power is supplied back to it so I had to make a Harmony activity for automation.

Hello BIFL! I am moving into an apartment with 2 windows facing railroad tracks and will be needing an air purifier or 2. I came across the Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier which seemed like a great option! What does BIFL think and do you guys have any other suggestions?

Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BTKAPUU?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I haven't been wearing a mask, though I agree with you on the usage of them. Luckily, I've had very limited exposure to the outdoor air. Still, this shit is bad.

For the indoor filter, I can tell you the Coway AP-1512HH works well.

https://smile.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-True/dp/B00BTKAPUU/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1542301845&sr=1-4&keywords=coway

Probably good. https://www.missionallergy.com/ is the most commonly-recommended. I also have their comforter.

I use Coway https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTKAPUU/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - it's won some awards, seems good. You can get aftermarket filters which are pretty affordable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076JJ42V7/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1

Make sure to clean your prefilter routinely. It'll tell you when to replace your other filters.

I have a small studio (around 350 sq ft); I run https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MXDRTKJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 continuously and it'll cost me about $20/month - I'm able to get to the upper 30% relative humidity. After I've done this for a few months I might relax it a bit and target 45% or something since 35-40% is pretty dry.

Sorry for the delay, LMK if you have any other questions.

Coway Mighty Air Purifier (with True HEPA and Eco Mode; AP-1512HH)

shown here:
https://smile.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-True/dp/B00BTKAPUU?sa-no-redirect=1

I have a Coway Mighty and live in an old apartment that has a lot of areas smoke can leak in; very fresh and clean inside. Also have two cats that shed and you'd never notice. Parents honestly currently love hanging at my place even though they have cat allergies. It makes that much of a difference.

If you invest even $150 in something decent it's worth it. Mine was pricey but has a 4 stage filtration system, only change filters once a year for around $60. Make's a hell of a difference whether it's smoker, pets, chemicals, etc.

If you are so inclined, buy an air purifier. I have one of these at home for cat allergies, because of course my girlfriend has 3 of the furry little razor claws.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTKAPUU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This thing is great. I have a huge living room, not sure if its quite shop sized but it might be close - and this thing will suck a cloud from above my head straight into the corner where it sits. I've chain vaped on purpose just to mess with it and it went from hotbox territory to next to nothing in just a few mins.

I bought two of the Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier with True HEPA about 6 months ago.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BTKAPUU/

These units have excellent reviews and independent tests of performance and you can find them costing $160 every few months which is an excellent price for such a good unit.

Very happy with them. I keep one in the bedroom and one in the living room. They run on auto mode 24/7 and probably cost $3/month in electricity. Annual replacement filter is $50.

Consider 5 year cost of ownership on air cleaners. The AP-1512 was the cheapest I could find for the high performance you get with the unit.

Find someone who uses the Rotobrush or similar equipment on the air ducts, there is huge difference between that and just the typical "super" vacuum trucks. http://imgur.com/a/ebR1Z

These are great air purifiers: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-True-Allergen-Remover-HPA300/dp/B00BWYO53G/

Also change the HVAC filter, buy the good ones, change it before and after the duct cleaning.

We also installed this, it works really well and was super simple to install.. (Bought from AirstarSupply, they support the warranty and its not a knock-off) http://www.amazon.com/REME-RGF-Air-Purification-System/dp/B00WSUK12M

Change the filters in your vacuum cleaner. If you have the funds I highly suggest a Neato (not a Roomba, do your research) that will run every day.

This is what I have at home - 3 of them.

My boyfriend is also allergic to cats, but we decided to try fostering two kittens to see how it goes because like your girlfriend I begged him to see if we could find a solution because I love cats. We've had our kittens now for a month and he's been taking a Zyrtec every morning, we vacuum and dust much more frequently, and most importantly we bought a HEPA filter which has made a huge difference. (Link here if interested - https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-True-Allergen-Remover-HPA300/dp/B00BWYO53G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1498754741&sr=8-4-fkmr0&keywords=honeywell+allergen+plus+air+filter+20x25x1 ) It's a little pricey but it has essentially eliminated any discomfort for him. Before when he was around cats he would get scratchy eyes, wheezy, and tight chest. We live in about a 800 sqft apartment and keep it in the living room and it is super effective. We also never let them in our bedroom so he isn't sleeping near the dander. If you don't want to commit to adopting a cat in case your allergies are problematic, I definitely recommend fostering from a local shelter! We've really enjoyed it and it's much less of a commitment in case those solutions don't work out for you. Best of luck, & hope it works out!

I feel the need to mention hepa filters since no one has brought it up.
http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-True-Allergen-Remover-HA300BHD/dp/B00BWYO53G

The Honeywell 300 is quiet and it should be running in your bedroom all the time. I keep mine on turbo during the day and knock it down to medium at night. It's much quieter than the old cylindrical version and is probably why I was surprised cedar went defcon 1 today. Good luck to all. I hope we make it through this one.

I bought this one last year and it works wonders. The large one is $170 but they have smaller ones as well. My sister has a smaller one and it works just as well. (But for a smaller area).

Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover, 465 sq. Ft, HPA300 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWYO53G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uosQCbD24NF13

That’s my personal preference. Have a 300 in the living room and a 100 in the bedroom. Only good things to say about it.

Hi everyone I'll keep track here for those interested:

​

• Entry (<$100)
  
  • LEVOIT LV-H132: Seems like a good budget model, with HEPA and Activated carbon. Filters seem relatively well priced. Only drawback is some people complain about the level of noise on the high setting.
    
• Middle ($100-$300)
  
  • Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White: Has an ionizer which produces ozone. It can be turned on and off. However, some reviews said they could still smell the ozone.
    
  • Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover : u/stareatthesun442 recommends! Plus there's a $50 coupon right now on Amazon.
    
• High End ($300-$500)
  
• Dream ($500+)

​

Save yourself money on the OEM filters and carbon, buy these and save money. I've noticed zero difference and my cabinets tend to stay cleaner from dust with these for some reason. The Honeywell carbon filters you have to end up cutting anyway which ruins them and sends dust everywhere.

​

It stops all condensation. You can get a new chest freezer for around $100 if you shop the sales right and hook it up to an inkbird.

The simplest thing to do is get a bunch of zip-loc bags large enough for spools (I bought the 2 gallon size - a bit too large, 1g size may do) and keep each roll sealed in one of those. Throw a packet of silica gel in each one if you want to go pro. Whenever I seal one up I tend to suck most of the air out quickly before sealing the bag. I have 10 spools open right now sealed this way and another 12 or so stored in one of those plastic tubs with the foam seal around the edge (with a dehumidifier inside). I am thinking of moving all my rolls to bags just to let me be more flexible with the space (the bin is a bit large)

Desiccant packs can help, but an occasional light coat of oil will help a lot more. I have a couple of them that I can just plug into the wall for a few hours and they'll dry out. They're more expensive, but it's a whole lot better than having to run the oven at 400* for a few hours every week or two. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVN7BM0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Welcome to the wonderful world of kegging! Enjoy 30 min packaging days, fewer trips to the recycle, and never having to soak another bottle ever.

Friendly suggestion: Buy humidity reducing devices like the Eva-Dry 333. Especially when it's humid out, at ale serving temperatures you will likely get plenty of condensation in there. I had about a small pond in there when I got back from a longish vacation after forgetting to reset the dehumidifier. Okay, hyperbole, more like a puddle but you get the point. Those Eva-Dry things are rad.

Also carefully consider the length of your lines. BeerSmith has a good article to start with. It's shocking just how much this affects the pour from your faucets.

Finally, sit back and enjoy. Personally I still bottle a couple of batches per year for special brews but my keezer has been a huge upgrade in enjoyment and time savings. Cheers!

The type of unit I linked to is usually allowed where normal window air conditioners aren't.

I've never heard of an apartment complex disallowing the type of air conditioner I linked to.

But yeah, if it's cool get a nice Dehumidifier. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-70-Pint-Dehumidifier-Effortless-Humidity/dp/B00UWP07LK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1518672680&sr=8-6&keywords=dehumidifier&dpID=316rM8FWZvL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I own the 50 pint dehumidifier which I use in the winter, and I own the air conditioner I linked to, which I use in the summer.

I recommend both!

This is the setup I have....was all pretty simple:

I live in Texas where in February/March/April, it's humid AF but not hot enough to run the AC yet.

I solved the problem by buying this 70 pint Frigidaire dehumidifier.

If the humidity is over 70%, it'll fill up overnight and I empty it in the morning and let it rip until I get home and empty etc.

I suspect I really need two of them for my 2200 sqf house as it struggles to keep up because I turn it off when I want to watch TV etc. Still, it does a remarkable job of keeping mold out and the inside of the house pleasantly unmuggy.

Except that the unit that is being recommended in the discussion here is actually 745 W. So u/ten-million could be right if it runs say 3/4 of the time or more.

Thank you, TheSingingKid! Seems I have spend a bit more (although I have already spent a lot to set things up) I found two types. One is conventional and cheap, like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UWP07LK/

The other is crawlspace specific and expensive, like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW8WRUP/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Do I need the 2nd one, powerful but almost 5 times pricier, to make things right?

I have this one and I'm very happy with it. I only recently found out you're not supposed to use extension cords with it (or any other dehumidifiers) so maybe keep that in mind.

I had a Soleus that I got from Menards and the pump quit on me in about 2 months. I threw it out and got this. Works great.

Might be too late, but my dehumidifier came with a little door and a threaded plastic extension that you can screw a hose into, or drip directly into an external reservoir. I got a 12 gallon tote and it collects the water, then I put it back into the plants. If I unscrew the adapter, the water just falls into the built in collection bucket.

This is what I got last June and it's still working fine. Remember to get that Square trade warranty! Look on eBay for square trade warranty coupons!

I went through the same thing for weeks. The box may be clean of litter, but my super-sniffer nose can smell everything!

I finally figured out the right combo to combat the smell. I bought of of these, and set it up next to the litter box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01728NLRG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And I switched to this litter: https://www.chewy.com/arm-hammer-litter-double-duty/dp/51973

Works like a charm! The litter box is right behind the sofa but now I can sit there and not smell a thing.

Good luck!

Is this the one you bought? I want to make sure it turns on automatically via a HomeKit plug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG

I did recently have one done. It came back that I'm severely allergic to dust and mold, as well as a few other outdoor things to varying degrees (pigweed, ragweed, sheep sorrel, bayberry, birch, maple, mulberry, sycamore, cottonwood, cat, cockroach, grass mix, grass smut, alternaria, penicillium, and mucor racemosus, plus the dust mites)

I've already done a lot of what you said, to little effect. My nose has been an ongoing issue this year. Earlier in the year I had deviated septum surgery as well as endoscopic sinus surgery to scrape everything clean. Prior to that I just got really clogged at some point, mucus was draining into my throat and lungs and I was coughing it up, etc.

After the surgery I was perfectly fine for probably about 4-5 months. I breathed fine and honestly it was incredible. Then a bit over a month ago, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and when I got back I started getting stuffed up nose symptoms again. Returned to the doctor, they looked up there with their flashlight and said it doesn't look like a sinus infection, which led to the allergy testing.

Since then (about 2 weeks) I've done everything I've read and can think of. I've used both loratadine and Zyrtec, and honestly neither of these are lessening my symptoms whatsoever, which makes me think it might not be allergy related at all. I also think it's weird that the congestion is always on just the right side of my face, whereas the left side is completely clear, which is at least something.

I've cleaned my entire apartment from top to bottom, scrubbed the walls, gotten new pillows, I've always washed my sheets regularly. Used the vacuum to sweep my couch. Regularly replace the air filter in the ac unit, complex gives us these for free. Got a mold kit testing the air quality right now. Ive lived in this apartment for about three years now. The hot water heater broke at one point and soaked part of the carpet, but the pros all came and fans were set up under the carpet for a few days, but still I'm testing the air quality like I said.

Before my surgery when I was really suffering, I did order a pretty high end air purifier (Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xPh6BbDATAW67) and had it in here for about a week. It had settings on it that supposedly indicated whether the air quality was good, medium bad, or severe bad, and it never indicated anything but good. I ended up sending it back because I needed the money for rent that month, never re ordered cause I just figured the problem lay elsewhere.

I live in Florida now for three years, all in this apartment, after growing up in the north for 20+ years. I've also tried Flonase like my doc recommended. Breathe right strips help me breathe at night and alleviate some symptoms, as does Vicks, but once the strip comes off, everything goes to hell again.

The most recent discovery I've made is that sometimes the saline nasal spray can kind of alleviate things for a little bit, so I've been spraying a lot of that up my nose since there isn't supposed to be a limit on how much of that to use. But sometimes it doesn't do a damn thing either. Of course I've done the sinus rinsing too with the Neilmed squeeze bottle, again sometimes that's helpful and other times I feel more clogged than before.

Again, even though I've been diagnosed with these allergies, I just think it's odd none of these antihistamines are helping at all. The ENT has an allergy shots/drops program they're recommending, but I wanted to come home first after my appointment and try to clean things up before going into that. Like I said, for those first 4-5 months after surgery I was perfect, and then things took a turn for the worse for whatever reason, right around the time of that cruise, which I find suspicious, but they said it ain't infected in there and it's been 6 weeks now, so I would think if it was sickness I'd have kicked it by now.

Only other thing I can figure is all the humidity is outta the air now cause Florida season changed over, and my nose is not liking this drier weather. Nothing I used or the way I cleaned changed from when I was feeling good to now.

Sorry if that was a lot, but I appreciated your indepth response and any insight you might have. There's so many fucking variables to this thing it's maddening trying to narrow a cause or solution down

I have many of the same issues and I recently got an air purifier and it's helped a lot. It hasn't fixed everything but my symptoms are greatly reduced. I leave it on all day in auto mode.

First, I'd caution against trying to make your furnace work harder than it needs to. I've been down that road and had issues ranging from whistling to shutting down due to overheat during cold times and frosting up in hot ones. Get the most basic pleated and you'll still trap a lot.

I then moved to a mix of air cleaners, and the big round Honeywell are the top performers but loud. I use mine when I'm doing construction projects or moving furniture or major cleaning. This proved to be very effective, quiet, and long lasting. I tossed my first one after 15 years of being on full time. For replacement filters I would vaccum out the front every few months and then when the expensive HEPA one was grey and stinky I bought the high end furnace filters exactly twice as big and cut them in half with a scissors, and used painters tape to seal in place.

A good vaccum will do a lot to help if you have carpets. A bagged Oreck with upgraded HEPA bags would be my choice, there are others but be sure to go bagged.

Go for Winex. Great prices and equal/better than TruAir.

​

My TruAir units were quite loud and didn't do that much for a 350 sq. ft. room. I also like the versatility of the Winex filters: I vacuum the outer filter, wash the inner, and then pay for the Hepa once a year.

If you're willing to make an investment this is a great fan. I used it at a friends house and if you blow in the direction of it it will suck up the smoke and will be gone instantly.

Air Purifier

Make sure the room is as sealed as you can get it (but not perfect, usually the cracks around the door is enough). Install a blower that will suck air from the room and force it outside. The idea is to make strong negative pressure so air from the rest of the house is being forced in and then exhausted out of the house and never have air from the smoking room seeping into the rest of the house. Glossy walls are easier for cleaning and you'll want leather chairs or metal chairs, anything that isn't cloth-like otherwise it'll absorb the smell. No carpeting for the same reasons. An air filter will also help keep the smell inside the room down when you're not smoking in it. HEPA filters with activated carbon like this running for a day or two after a smoking session should eliminate most of the odors.

When I have cigar-friends over we smoke in my dining room which is all hardwood with a window fan exhausting and I just vacuum afterwards and run an air filter for a couple days and the smell is always gone.

As far as air purifiers, I purchased this one a couple months ago and am thoroughly impressed. It's currently set up near the kitty litter box and does an excellent job of eliminating those awful odors. It's sleek and quiet and covers a great amount of room compared to others.

I have a bathroom with no fan. Before he cuts the hole above the bathroom door, try the following:

1. Always open the exterior window and the bathroom door to create a cross ventilation
   
2. Try a dehumifider. I turn it on before I start my hot showers and let it run for awhile after. I have this one.

would be fine, but i've seen cheaper ones that are the same exact model, its just the same product from china rebranded by several american OEMs. shop around a bit, i didn't dig hard for that link.

Keep in mind i never had a huge humidity problem so i just place this i the bottom of my tent and it worked along with the other steps.

Applying sprays/traps as people mentioned will help lower the numbers, but it doesn't remove the conditions that attract silverfish/bugs in general the first place. If you don't get rid of silverfish you might end up attracting house centipedes (ive heard) and i'd rather gtfo than deal with that lol. This is what I did to keep them out of my dorm:

- Number one thing is to keep your suite clean, especially for people renting in older homes off campus. Silverfish eat starchy carbs. Declutter your space: no piles of paper, cardboard, nor clothes, nor food crumbs on the ground. place things in plastic tubs and food in tight sealed containers if you have to. Vacuum biweekly, do laundry often (and this includes your bedsheets)

- Additionally silverfish love humid environments. And its gonna be humid a long time cuz of the rain october - april. I bought this dehumidifier from amazon a while back. A lot of bugs also dislike the smell of spices. I purchased cinnamon essential oil from amazon and just placed a tiny bit in vials around the room. With the combination of those two, I stopped seeing them completely within a couple days.

I use this in my back basement - works great! Not very loud and small. https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Breeze-Electric-Dehumidifier-Portable/dp/B01DC5PPWM?ref_=Oct_BSellerC_267557011_2&pf_rd_p=d610ab22-6548-5794-9c9d-00287e1ba3e2&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=267557011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=P2R11VYTPR5S6DBCBWK4&pf_rd_r=P2R11VYTPR5S6DBCBWK4&pf_rd_p=d610ab22-6548-5794-9c9d-00287e1ba3e2

I stuck a dehumidifier in it like this one:

Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RgyZCb6FQ1KS6

It produces some heat, but it doesn't seem to make the freezer run noticably more often. I also take it out during cold crashing so it doesn't freeze and get jacked up.

Why can't you buy a little portable dehumidifier? Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Breeze-Electric-Dehumidifier-Portable/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=sr_1_4?crid=37132OOBRTX9&keywords=dehumidifier&qid=1556039481&s=gateway&sprefix=dehumid%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-4


I would stick with the blowing the fan on the plants while hung. If you dry in a box, and for some reason something goes wrong and your fan dies you have more of a chance of humidity building up inside a smaller, enclosed space.

thanks for your answer!
i see, it would work if there weren't a constant air exchange...


So I should go for a dehumidifier. Would a cheap one like this work? (the room my cabinet is in is very small)

>A dehumidifier outside of the tent might work.

Ambient RH is 14% currently. I live in an arctic desert, so a dehumidifier outside the tent won't do much. I got something like this on the way. I don't expect it to do much , but if it gets me down 5% or so I'd be happy with it. I'm also using CaCl2 AKA Damprid, and it's brought levels down about 10% or so.

What is your RH in the tent with the PM plants? Nice looking undercurrent you got there. I'm assuming your rez is inside the tent then?

Ah, so it's a real camper and not a camper van. Sorry, I subscribe to /r/vandwellers as well and got confused as to what I was looking at.

I think you're doing a lot right. Condensation is a big issue for a lot of people in colder climates. Heck, even houses with aluminum framed windows have issues with condensation and water damage.

Rule of thumb, if you're getting static shocks in your camper I doubt its humidity. What might be more efficient than a fan in winter is a miniature dehumidifer. If nothing else it should slow the growth of mold.

We bought one of these, seems to help a little bit:

• https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DC5PPWM/
  
  Yes, we let it run 24/7. I go in every few days and empty the water container. I tried using damprid but didn't like having to buy new ones all the time.

I have this one but I guess it's not cutting it for my 2x4x7 tent.

Okay looking at this one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DC5PPWM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thing is, it seems like most people struggle to get humidity at 50%... And I need it well below that.

Just curious, recently I've shut all my windows tight. Is that bad?

Appreciate your help, I was thinking of putting it directly on the tent if its small enough. The tent is 2X4. I was looking at this on amazon but it does only have a 16oz reservoir and no way to attach a hose drain.

Anyone know if they allow small handheld motorized fans?

Everyone else has given a ton of good advice, only thing I wanted to add is we bought a small rechargeable fan and use that to make sure his butt is nice and dry before putting on any cream. He is SUPER prone to diaper rash and it has helped a lot.

Mini Handheld Fan, VersionTECH.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HGI0S6O?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

If you don’t want to DIY simple wipes, the ones I’ve found with the absolute shortest ingredients list are the wipes from Dyper (they’re mainly a subscription diaper service) - bamboo, water, and aloe, nothing else.

Only time I got VIP was at Vendetta, and you got access to bleacher seats. Compared to general access who had to stand the whole event, fucking worth it. Went to another event, the one with the Oxxymiron battle, and VIP just got closer standing room to the stage, so not worth it that time.

All I can say is bring cash for merch or the bar, wear comfy shoes since you'll be standing, a charge battery for your phone, and if you got one of those handheld electric fans, might wanna bring one because the body heat of the crowd turns the place into an oven later

They also sell a Great Kek!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071D58ZY5?ref_=Oct_CABSellerC_3147771_0

Which will arrive today!

It might not help you find the exact cause but i think a small room air purifer like this is a win win. Less dusting to do, sheets need changing less regularly, noise helps me sleep, i snore less and less stuffed up in the mornings.

If you want to try a few things before you commit to getting rid of the bird...

Consider a high end HEPA approved filter. To get a HEPA tag, they have to be able to remove 90% or more of small particles. This one is quiet, doesn't make stuff that could hurt the bird, and will help across the board if you stick one in the birds room.

Change ALL of the filters in your home. It could be that your symptoms are getting worse because your home's ventilation system has bad filters and is working less and less. Buy yourself some kind of filtering face mask before you do it, those filters are going to be packed full of Fuck You.

Finally, if you DO decide to part with the animal, be sure to post it on r/parrots about it, they have an adoption list.

I have this air purifier, great for small room or cube and really quiet.
