(Part 3) Best household fans according to redditors
We found 1,192 Reddit comments discussing the best household fans. We ranked the 365 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 41-60. You can also go back to the previous section.
On the specific issue of being too wet:
Get a fan and put it on a table or chest at the foot of the bed so it is aimed right between your legs at your crotch when you're having sex. You can get a good multispeed 12" table fan with a remote control for about $30. (Like this one.)
Keep the remote on your bedside table and click it on just before sex. I think you'll be surprised. It makes a BIG difference!
You'll quickly figure out which speed setting reduces the wetness the right amount, but it will probably be low or medium. "High" on many fans will turn a river into a desert! :)
As for his juices, keep some kleenex where you can reach them after he cums, but while he's still inside you. You can both grab a couple just before he slides out so you can stanch the flood.
On the broader question of how to revive your sex life, I strongly urge you to try doing sensate focus therapy together. It's the most successful form of sex therapy for a number of problems, including long-term couples who are trying to reconnect physically and emotionally after falling into the sexual doldrums.
Doing SFT takes a few months, but it can establish a strong foundation for an improved sex life. Once you've finished, there's a lot of things you can do to build on it. This is a collection of articles that can help:
I especially recommend the articles on erotic massage, "OMG Yes!!!", "The Mystery of Arousal and Vaginal Wetness", and everything in the section on "Taking sex to the next level."
I hope this helps!

It's wall mountable, variable speed, good reviews. I think this is the fan you're looking for!
Compact vornado is still $30:
Vornado 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGPWJXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wgW3CbE7FJ7GE
It's gone up but maybe you can still get it!
Kiss your social life goodbye!
Honestly though I have had mine for a week and my number one piece of advice: buy a necklace fan. I use mine every time I play in VR and it DOES get pretty warm, you WILL sweat. Using the fan will keep you cool and keep your investment safe from water damage and unsightly sweat stains on the face cushion of the actual device. I can not recommend it enough.
Also, try not hitting stuff with the controllers but if you do you should be more worried about the object you hit because the touch controllers are built like absolute tanks. Some people even call them indestructible.
Fitting the headset has been atrocious for me and no matter what I do to try and get it to fit correctly, it just does not work with my head shape. I had to make a counterweight to put on the back of the device. Read over this post by TrefoilHat and hopefully you will have a more comfortable rifting experience than I do.
Depending on how many sensors you are using and if you are mounting them to walls/ceiling or not you may want to look into extension cords and actual mounts.
There are tons of posts on this oculus reddit page and oculus forums, look around if you have any questions. A lot of people post when new things come out or go on sale as well as lists of free games and apps for new players like ourselves. Extremely nice community and very helpful.
Welcome to the future and happy rifting!
My place is 480 sqft. I have a single 8,000 BTU window air conditioner. It got to 95F yesterday and I was able to maintain 68F in my place.
12k BTU is way more than enough to keep your place very cool.
To answer your bedroom question, I place a small fan inside of the doorway to keep the air circulating. One of these. It's good to have your HVAC slightly oversize, but putting another head unit in the bedroom will be huge overkill and could lead to problems.
I don't have a whole lot to add for help, but for the heat my wife has found using O2 Cool fans https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IIAFHZ2/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_3_w/144-8520162-1819851 has helped immensely with overheating. They are small, cheap, and can help her stop the worsening of the symptoms if she feels the overheating coming on.
Diet can also have a profound impact on depression and emotions, You didn't mention if healthy diet already, but everyone is different and a healthy diet can definitely help on the mental side, along with some studies showing diet can help with MS (I think nutrition is very personal though and there is no one size fits all). All the other advice here is also really important, probably even more so, but this is something that you can potentially control on the home front.
Look for RV and boating equipment for 12v appliances. I have a cabin that is all solar. It runs two 100w panels and a little cheap charge controller that charges 4 cheap golf cart batteries. I have a 500w inverter on it for things I can't run any other way but I try not to even put load on that. I wired it up like it was a boat, with a boat bus bar in place and ran standard Romex to 12v LED stip lights via standard light switches. And then plugged in a large 12v changing station with 4 12v sockets like in a car and 4 USB ports. So I can run laptops and charge cellphones and the like. For fans I found battery powered camping fans that ran on D batteries strung together to 12v that had a DC plug on the side. I wired up a DC plug for them right off the batteries and they run on that. They are not ceiling fan but I have 3 so each person can have one on hot nights. I am in Southern VA, so not to far from you.
Fan I use:
http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Battery-Operated-Fan-BLACK-5/dp/B001AVMSEY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457293936&sr=8-2&keywords=battery+camping+fan
I know it's been said already, but it will be very humid. The humidity is what always gets to me. We're in the parks once a week and every time I get in the parking lot I think, 'Oh this isn't too bad, there's a breeze...' but when you get in the park, the amount of people just increase it by 10 degrees. Just pace yourselves, do more inside shows (H.S. is really good for those) ((Pro Tip: The Little Mermaid show in HS is not only super air conditioned, but it also sprays water on you during the show, its very refreshing on a hot day))
Also, take advantage of extra magic hours, not only will the parks be not as crowded, but it's either in early AM or late at night. We've done a rest day at the hotel and then hitting up MK extra magic from 6pm-midnight.
If you havent purchased a personal fan yet, I strongly recommend the O2Cool. It has by far surpassed the $6 I spent on it.
Here is a link to it on amazon, but seriously I bought it at CVS for $6, so amazon in this case is a rip off lol.
https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-Deluxe-Necklace-Fan-Raspberry/dp/B00IIAFHZ2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1525872522&sr=8-5&keywords=o2cool
Wearing a sweat/headband would probably help. I think this is the one I got:
https://www.amazon.com/Suddora-Head-Sweatbands-Athletic-Headbands/dp/B00A2ULMOG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=sweatband&qid=1562647689&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
It works well in keeping the sweat from dripping down. I also use a floor fan which helps.
https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-Velocity-QuickMount-Silver-Easily-Converts/dp/B0073CQ9XA/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=floor+fan&qid=1562647830&s=gateway&sr=8-15
While that isn't the fan I have, it's similar.
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.
hey dude! There are 4 things for this scenario!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WT6Z54/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Could use a little more data metrics to say how well it worked, but seasonal comparisons are always tough. I'm old enough to remember the SK6 P3 cooler with Delta "screamer" fans being the CPU cooler of lore... and how much those tiny fans could scream.
If I'm lazy, can I just rig one of these up to a 3PM-7AM timer? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BDS4M0W
Self Inflatable Air Pad - So much better than sleeping on the tent tarp / yoga mat.
Handheld Water Misting Fan - The most popular item at my tent the past couple of years. Put a few small ice cubes and water for a refreshing cool down.
I really love my Vornado whole room air circulator. It's a fairly small fan that has a lot of power. You just point it at a ceiling corner in the room and it does the job.

I was just thinking about posting something about this. Would love to see setups and get tips for the best experience.
I have a pic on my Instagram - @peloton_clarkie. I’ll take some more and upload when I get home.
We turned our second bedroom into a spin studio of sorts. We have two bikes separated by a yoga mat for post ride stretching.
Mats are a huge win. You can either get the Peloton mat, an off brand mat from Amazon, or go to a carpet/flooring store and get a remnant of some garage flooring or otherwise. At most you’ll spend $60, but sweat clean up and saving the floor is absolutely worth it.
I am going to hang some hooks by the door for headbands, towels, hr monitors, etc. Right now we hang our gear on the handlebars, which isn’t ideal since you have to move a bunch of stuff before a spin. I also want to find a place to put a bench that we can store shoes / get ready. Name of the game is less barriers to working out...
Fan is a major bonus as well. I have the plus of being next to a window so we put a box fan there when spinning. Another upgrade would be to get fans that are mounted on the wall. I’ve seen those on amazon for $60 or so.
I had a major issue with Bluetooth headphones and getting them synced with the video, which ultimately pushed me to buy a better audio system. I have both bikes running into a Sony receiver, which powers two bookshelf speakers and Bluetooth 4.1 to my headphones. I highly recommend upgrading the speakers on the bike if you can. It’s made the experience infinitely better to have in sync, exceptional sound.
Also consider getting a cooling towel and a necklace fan. And wear a hat to keep the sun off your face.
If you are looking for a cheap water cooling system, i typically use this for my shoe box builds: https://www.amazon.com/O2cool-Deluxe-Battery-operated-Handheld-Water-misting/dp/B000QUC8N6
http://www.amazon.com/O2-Cool-FD05004-Portable-Battery-Operated/dp/B001AVMSEY/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1397940089&sr=1-1&keywords=battery+operated+fan
Putting these in the vents might help.
Have a real fan...https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Small-Whole-Circulator-Black/dp/B01BF3XTX0/ref=pd_sim_201_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BF3XTX0&pd_rd_r=128VVRW5A1HK511X6CP7&pd_rd_w=29Dgq&pd_rd_wg=W3rwV&psc=1&refRID=128VVRW5A1HK511X6CP7 It sends a 70 foot vortex of air.
They make a whole bunch of models https://www.vornado.com/shop
I just ordered:
a small battery powered fan to put next to my bed.
Some battery powered LED sting lights for inside the tent.
A hanging closet organizer to hang in the tent to keep all my small bins and whatnot organized and easily accessible.
I have a bigger lasko that works great with a wide windstream and travels a long distance. I use it for rowing, lifting, and cycling, and is great when we burn dinner.
Lasko 2264QM 20" High Velocity QuickMount, Black-Easily Converts From a Floor Wall Fan, 7 x 22 x 22 inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IS6JBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.e-PDbEWBS36Q
VIP has "Air conditioned" bathrooms (although with the traffic, its not really noticeable). They also last year had a couple areas with much better AC. However, there are plenty of cool down areas throughout the festival.
In regards to the weather - Its the desert southwest. Expect 110-115 during the day. Last year, it was still over 100 degrees when the sun was setting, and around 2-3 AM it finally got into the mid 80's. Needless to say, drink plenty of water (but don't over-hydrate, that can be dangerous), wear thin clothes and visit those cool down rooms frequently.
I also recommend getting one of those misting fans like this or this, but would send an email to [email protected] first to make sure it is allowed in (and save and print (3 copies, one for each night) and bring that email with you - be sure to include a picture of the item in the email)
VR Covers are pretty much #1 rated in terms of thier effectiveness. Mines arriving in a few hours actually :D. Due to the amount you perspire, I suggest you coming a VR cover with a headband. Also, what games are you playing that cause you to sweat so much? Are you a larger individual playing intense games? Or are you like how I was and had the damn thing strapped to my face like it was an an oxygen mask lol? Also, consider getting an oscillating fan.
Cheaper fan. A more quality fan.
Based on the cfm rating I'm guessing you got a duct booster. Those aren't meant to work as standalone systems and won't work well with a carbon filter. It will only actually reach its 100cfm rating with some active airflow helping it. Hence booster.
You need something like ,https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E4WKNAM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1484461818&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=4"+inline+fan&dpPl=1&dpID=51JminCPW8L&ref=plSrch
lol @ "you bought this item on..."
Had the same problem with those same fans. Now I use two of these (link below), saves mucho space. Plus fewer headaches, those clip on fans are annoying af. And these towers oscillate.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MFAOPY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Brazil will send 1 [Lasko 1827 Adjustable Elegance and Performance Pedestal Fan] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FXOFM6U/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_bFgKD_c_x_1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&pf_rd_r=HWCWXV2VN641DTC2HZ7C&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=dea617dc-99bc-5ac0-8cb0-7a31f25f4fba&pf_rd_i=3737621) to help blow the ash cloud away from Europe.
It's a little $15 Amazon fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HI7950/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The humidifier I stole from my son's room. I live in Southern California so it is not very humid at all... ever...
I have the same size tent and 2 similar galaxyhydros so I will say we have a similar setup. I started with a simple exhaust fan and I will vouch for the fans that are actually made for filters. Simply the massive amount of heat it sucks out is well worth the extra money in itself, plus you will go to almost no smell with a proper fan. I started with this and now I have this and I feel it was well worth the extra money. With the first fan I was consistently over 80-85 degrees but with the second fan I never went over 77. No smell outside the tent
Okay, listen. I know The Truth. The One Great Truth. and I'm going to share it with you. Ready? Here it is:
Fans.
Yes, fans. Those things that push air around. Get a reliable little 10+ inch personal fan for ~15 bucks, like this or this. It'll last you years.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Fans, really? That's the ultimate truth of the universe?
Yes. Fans are everything.
You only need one. Put it on a stand next to your bed, about 1-2 feet away from where your face will be. Aim it properly, turn it on, wrap yourself up and enjoy pure bliss. Your body will be warm and your face will be caressed by a pleasant cool breeze for the entire night. Hot flashes? Who gives a shit? Just turn that baby up one notch and go back to sleep. Boom, done.
It's not an exaggeration when to say that for me, sleeping with a fan is at least twice as easy and enjoyable as without. I've been sleeping this way for at least a decade.
Here are just a few bullet points in case you're not completely head over your heels in love with fans yet.
Don't listen to the Koreans. Sleeping with a fan on won't hurt you. If anything it will make you stronger. Praise the fan.

* ^(Note: Depending on your climate this may not necessarily be a good thing. I am not responsible for any bodily injury, psychological damage, or freezing you may incur)
It sounds like your thermometer is inaccurate. Check it against boiling water and a glass full of ice and water.
Besides that, freezers do a bad job (or no job) of circulating air within the unit when they are operating, causing temperature stratification. Pick up one of these and let it run all the time you will have a much more consistent temps throughout the freezer.
https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Mini-Velocity-Personal-HNF0410A-BM/dp/B004WT6Z54
Also, since you mentioned frost on the side, get one of these too. It will remove moisture from the air before it has a chance to condense and freeze on the sides. Just remember to recharge it once a month or so.

I got this portable fan & I wear it at work - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIAFHZ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_akEtDbEEKCXGP. I usually keep mine on for like 3-4 hours at a time, so I went through a lot of batteries. I bought rechargeable batteries & switch them out daily.
Buy a fan necklace. Nothing like having a breeze blowing up on your face all day. Pretty sure you can find them at Wal-Mart and Target for like $5. http://www.amazon.com/O2-Cool-Necklace-Fan-FN02001/dp/B007OYTJE8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396041100&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+necklace
Thanks, man. The fan is a Lasko 4000 Air-Stik Ultra-Slim Oscillating Fan. It's perfect for a micro grow.
My tent sits in near-outdoor conditions, so I have to keep temps up. The smaller device is a Lasko MyHeat Personal Ceramic Heater controlled by a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat. It pushes enough heat to keep temps as high as ambient +30.
This buggah is prime.
i just got this fan and it’s awesome. powerful so the room stays cold and i’m cozy under a blanket, and has pretty good white noise.
Tent
Light
4" exhaust combo
Ratchet Hangers Adjustable
Programmable Timer
Ocsillating fan (reccomended)
I have an MES30 and I use these two items (mainly when I am cold smoking with a mailbox mod to achieve good airflow into the smoker, but it does well for moving the smoke from under the roof):
https://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-90-Round-Adjustable-Elbow-B90E3/100112500
https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Flippi-Personal-Circulator-Black/dp/B004HI7950/
The fan's lowest setting is very slow, and works perfectly for moving the smoke away from under my patio roof, without pulling it out of the smoker too quickly.
The 1200w would be fine in a 3x3, you wont burn them. Just make sure the lights height is adjusted higher early on.
For fans, I use, 2x https://www.amazon.com/LORELL-Clip-2-Speed-Cord-White/dp/B004RTMD8C/ref=as_li_ss_il?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_12&linkCode=li1&tag=ourfirstgrow-20&linkId=e18054a67596ca852feb271180a708af&language=en_US
I also have this cheap guy in the corner works great. https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HTF3110A-BTM-31inch-Oscillating-Tower/dp/B009ZNGE8U/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1546449841&sr=8-7&keywords=tower+fan&linkCode=li2&tag=ourfirstgrow-20&linkId=57c3eb9335e221167d8f1dd2476a183e&language=en_US
Just one of these in the corner might do the trick too: https://www.amazon.com/Hurricane-Wall-Mount-Fan-Oscillation/dp/B00HXQUUHM/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1546449763&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=hurricane+fan&psc=1&linkCode=li2&tag=ourfirstgrow-20&linkId=2687466f5a24f7e5a2e13623748409a4&language=en_US
>I have seen a few posts about people who don't have flood insurance, or any insurance on this subreddit (I hope its appropriate to post here) and I wanted to help you help yourself prepping to go back in to your home. I work remodeling homes, and commercial buildings and have a few tips for when you go back in your house to save a few thousand dollars.
>
>First thing is first, you need to expect total losses on a couple items; carpet and padding is gone, 100% don't bother keeping it. Drywall and plaster that have been submerged are also toast. Furniture may be salvageable, but if it has cloth or padding, assume its a loss. If it isn't REALLY expensive (custom, antique, or all sealed wood) its probably done for. These 3 things can cause health issues if not taken care of immediately. For your families sake, please don't hesitate to throw them away. Its all replaceable, your health is not.
>
>I'll preface this with the fact that I have never worked with FEMA, but only insurance companies. My knowledge and experience comes from working with them and if you have more information than I do, please add.
>
>
>
>
>
>How to prep your house:
>
>The VERY FIRST thing you do, is go to your main breaker panel, and make sure the electricity is shut off in the room you will be working. The odds of you getting shocked are negligable, but Murphy is always lurking. Once you have the breaker switched to the off position of that room you can begin the demo process.
>
>Unscrew the plates on the electrical outlets, and cable jacks. This will take a flat head screwdriver. Save these in a plastic ziplock bag to put back on later.
>
>If you have baseboard, and want to try to keep it (personally I'd just chuck it myself usually) you will need a razor knife. You will need one anyways so if you don't have one, purchase one. I'd recommend this one off amazon, but you can find simple razors for a couple bucks. The problem with cheeps, is they break easy, and you'll need the knife for your carpet too. Anyways, cut where the baseboard meets the wall, as there will be a paint layer and/or caulking there to seal it. Then use the flat head to pry the baseboard back. If you are trying to salvage the baseboard, be gentle and take your time. If you aren't trying to salvage it, bust it up and take out some anger on it.
>
>Next is your drywall. Here is a drywall saw I recommend. Go 6-8 inches above the waterline and punch it through the drywall (you can use your hand, but a hammer doesn't hurt as much) and cut it all. Rip out everything below your cut and throw it away. Then pull out any insulation in the walls, as they are soaked and compromised as well. This will help prevent mold growing in the walls.
>
>Leave any and all plumbing or electrical work exactly how it is.
>
>Next comes carpet. The carpet is only held on by tack strips (thin wooden pieces, with little nails in them) along the edges. Pull up the edges and the rest comes easy. Since the carpet is soaked, its going to be extremely heavy. This is why I would purchase the better razor knife, and cut the carpet in to pieces to haul it outside. By leaving the carpet until last, this will help your clean up from the dry wall, baseboard, and insulation immensely. The padding underneath will usually be stapled, or glued down, just rip it out.
>
>Turn the breakers back on, and put some fans in there if you have them. The more air movement the better. Obviously a lot of people won't be able to afford industrial style fans, but here is one for 40 bucks. If you can spare it, it will make a huge difference. The bigger the better, if you have the cash.
>
>I would leave cabinets where they are, and dry them out as quickly as possible. They will probably be replaced too, but once they are dry they pose no health risk, and you will probably still be using them to hold stuff until a contractor can replace them.
>
>These few things will save you thousand of dollars later on, and more importantly will keep your chances of being sick way down. In the insurance world(again I've never worked with FEMA), you get money for demolition, so you can pocket a good chunk of that, if not all of it depending on the contractors needs, and scope of work.
>
>I'd recommend getting a multi-tool as well, but they aren't necessary. They are just helpful. Here is what I use.
>
>I wish I could be there to help everyone out, and I hope this helps in some way. I'm praying for you all / sending good vibes and cash to you, but I hope this helps you out even more. Good luck, and if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to contact me.
OK.. here is what I use and have for the past 4 years since the DK1 days.. A simple necklace fan seems to do the trick nicely. It keeps air circulating across the face and lenses by blowing it up through the nose gap.
Alright, here in Metric format. You can convert pretty easily:
​
2.74 kg top sirloin steak (you want pieces about 2-3cm (1") thick.
Salt (coarse crystal sea salt) 45 ml
Coriander (mortar and pestle) 40 to 50 ml of ground coriander
Brown sugar 13 ml (optional)
Pepper 1.75 ml
Sprinkle on the meat and lightly sprinkle each layer with malt vinegar. Cover and refrigerate overnight for 10 hours.
Mix 1/2 cup malt vinegar in 2 litres boiling water. Pull the meat fairly rapidly one piece at a time through the water. Push string through one end with a skewer and tie to rod or string in drying box. Takes about 48-72 hours.
A note on the box, a simple cardboard box works. Cut holes in the sides near the top and create a grid of string to hang your meat on.
​
You'll need a standard incandescent light bulb in a work light enclosure. You'll also need a small fan like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-4000-Stik-Ultra-Slim-Oscillating/dp/B000MFAOPY
Put the light bulb and fan i the box, and let the fan circulate warm air on low. Seal the box on top, and let it run for 2-3 days.
Sorry to state the obvious, but why the hell are you leaving a window facing the fire escape open/unlocked? New York is a safer city than many (and Astoria is relatively safe) but it's still a big city with crime & break ins.
Also, don't you have a 2nd window in your bedroom not attached to a fire escape? I'd assume so since you need somewhere to install the A/C. Keep that window open.
If all else fails, just get a fan. They cost basically nothing to operate, provide some pleasant white noise while you sleep, and most importantly mean you can keep your fire escape window locked so that you're SAFE.
Fear cuts deeper than swords.

Well it wasn't the most efficient way, this is what I did: my tent had one of the venting spots at the top, and I took a small powerful fan like this one and rested it on the vent in such a way that it pulled air from the outside into the tent, and I ran it on high/med most of the time. Obviously the air wasn't filtered like it should've been, but it drastically cooled the temps inside the tent.
I have one like this and it's wonderful!
Your cat and I have a lot in common, apparently. While we were out shopping for bedding/decorations for our new house, I bought a little fan specifically for this purpose.
EDIT: By "we", I meant my wife and I. I'm not romancing your cat. I'm straight.
I picked this up for my second zwift setup. It's inexpensive and moves a lot of air. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113DA8J0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't know your definition of inexpensive, but I've had this one for a few years and like it a lot. It throws the column of air pretty far so I can get a breeze from accross the room.

This fan is all metal and blows a TON of air, even on the lowest setting.
great question, in my 3x3 I have two 42'' oscillating tower fans and two 6'' clip on fans which clip on the tent poles.
Here is what I used. 2 wire shelves. 1 shelf holds 4x 8 card rigs (last rig sits in the front 'exhaust' area on top of a normal PC box). 1 shelf holds the fans that blow on the rigs. Air is blown over the rigs and to the front of the tent, and exhaust fans placed in that area for exhaust.

Oh, got it. I’ve just got a really basic one and it seems pretty quiet. It’s this style, but mine doesn’t have a brand on it so I don’t know if it identical.

I have a Lasko windcurve fan... Kinda pricey but it works really well! https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2554-42-Inch-Curve-Remote/dp/B000RL1WNQ
Someone posted a link to a large fan they used to do this. It was on Amazon, black, kind of "tornado" funky/cool looking. I tried to find it but can't.
It looked like this, but was much larger - I think.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I think I actually did mean SCROG instead of SOG to begin with, I mixed them up in my post after searching the differences between the two.
I might try SOG with clones, but I think SCROG will be what I will go for. I just finished reading more about SCROG, and it looks like I will go for this method. So the plan is to grow 3 - 4 plants, top each plant ones so I have 2 colas per plant, making 8 total colas inside my box. I could also try topping each plant twice, so I could have 16 colas, but that might be pushing it too far for my first grow.
Regarding the fans, I checked on Amazon, I can't really afford these 100 dollar fans, I'm trying to keep the box under $300 and I'm already at $270. I was originally going to go with 2 CPU fans that output 50 CFM with a fan controller and extension cables, but the cost to set that up was as much as my inline solution here. I guess the only problem with my current solution is the noise level. I will try to find a quitter cheap fan.
What do you think of this 4" version instead? It's still rated FAR above my 35 CFM requirement and I still have the small fan inside as well to move air around. It's a tad bit expensive for me, but I might be able to afford it if it's worth it:

I would have the same ducting solution, just replace the old 6" fan with this 4" one, and this one looks like one that is a bit more quiet.
A few Roovians had this last year and it appeared to be worth a shot for $12 bux. Lasts long and not quite as heavy as 4 D cells ;)

I could picture myself mounting something like this in the window, with proper gasketing between the panes a-la window air-conditioner installation – after fashioning some sort of DIY damper for the outside so that it is not just an open hole in the building when not in use.
In Europe it is still easy to find 4" bath fans that fit in a 4" hole cut in the single pane glass of an old window. But the 120V ones on Amazon.com and .ca don't seem to have safety certification, at first glance.
I'd recommend having one of these handy
If your windows face west or south, keep them closed unless it's dark outside, and keep them as blacked out as possible during the day. If your windows face north or east, you might be able to keep them open in the afternoon and let air in. I also have 3 of these to move cooler air into hotter areas. They help a ton.
I have a 2x4 (roughly) and love this one:
Holmes 12-Inch Fan | Blizzard Rotating Fan with Remote Control, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I8Q307S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2VP7Cb760THV3
it's not a true oscillating fan but it covers a good amount of area... the thing I like the most is it has a setting to simulate a random breeze. I'm gonna buy another for my bedroom
otherwise just go with a reputable brand tower fan... if it's too strong even on the lowest setting just point it at a corner/wall

I have a vornado, something like this: Amazon Link
I'm not sure which size I have (small, med, large), but it is quite powerful. I have it set up right next to my bike and have it aimed at my torso and it works great. If you have the opportunity to open a window or two, it works even better.
I use this one, works great

I actually just put a big ass fan in my tote today after doing a little bit of thinking on the topic this morning. Prior to that I only had one exhaust fan which is blowing air through a home made carbon filter with a passive intake at the bottom. This is the fan I put into the tote. Its so big it only fits in upside down and I have to move my plant to the side (thankfully there's plenty of room in 110gallons worth of totes used in the enclosure). I've got it pointed at the 5g smart pot I'm growing it and I've got it on the lowest setting and it's oscillating. Closed up it just barley rustles the canopy so I don't think I have to worry about wind burn. Plus I saw that other post on here talking about air flow on top soil being big for nutrient uptake.
I think you're on the right track when it comes to using a timer. In fact, for your purposes, the old-fashioned REALLY simple mechanical timers will be your friends.
However, you're right, modern fans, especially tower fans, are a slave to fancy circuitry, and I honestly can't remember ever seeing one that doesn't have some kind of stupid electronic control rather than a simple on/off switch.
What you may need to do is void the heck out of your warranty, and just hard-wire the fan to stay on, bypassing all the controls.
Good luck!
EDIT: No sooner than I post this, than I go doing some looking, and find this, or even this somewhat nicer version, which might suit your purposes.
This gets an A on FakeSpot for $61:

Can't you just use a bigger fan instead of the AC? I have this fan and it moves a lot of air, although maybe a little noisy.
Certain Dri antiperspirant works wonders. Bring a small personal fan, (link below- Vornado makes a great one, I've had this one for years):
Vornado Flippi V6 Personal Air Circulator Fan, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HI7950/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_vmqUDbTTZ5NZC
Last time I researched quality fans the two names that came up were Vornado and Air King. I went with a Vornado 293 that has served me well so far, but I haven't had it long enough to comment on it's BIFL qualifications.
I believe it's targeted more for shop use than residential (sealed motor, comes apart easily for cleaning, etc.) so it might be a bit more resilient than some of their other models. I also find it quiet enough for inside the home, but the color scheme might raise some eyebrows.
Angled high speed compact fans should help out. My space has a ceiling fan with the air flow directed downward and a fan/circulator in the corner.
Fwiw - The breeze feel can enhance gameplay when in Skyrim on a mountain top or cliff. Stay cool my friend!
https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-133-Compact-Air-Circulator/dp/B00FGPWJXA
Sort of. I have an in-line duct fan, but it is really loud, and also doesn’t work with speed adjusters, so I’m not using it.
I’ve been trying to keep it simple, with a couple small fans for each tent, but with it getting warmer, I went ahead and ordered a nice ventilation fan to use with some ducting between tents.
Honestly, if Vornado would just make something like this model, but half size, I’d buy several - 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGPWJXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_8Y09AbMR5BQ1D
They’d be small enough to work with 4” ducting, and they’d have the Vornado quality. This is the same fan I use inside the tents right now, and they’re great.
I've fought PM a lot over the last year.
At first I tried cutting out the worst leaves & spraying with milk. It helped for a day or two but it gave my tent a sour milk smell and the PM was back in a couple days. I would not recommend it.
Then I bought a 70pt dehumidifier. It lowered my RH from about 55% to 35%. This helped the spread a little, but it was still pretty bad.
I then started spraying Nuke 'Em. It didn't completely eliminate it, but it became very controllable. It took ~2 weeks between sprays before I would start seeing it again.
Initially I had 3 small fans providing air circulation in the tent. It seemed like enough at the time, but after adding one of these for the canopy, and one of these for below I've been able to reduce my spray frequency to ~3 weeks and I could probably go even longer between.
I know it's a combination of all of the above, but Nuke 'Em and increased airflow seemed to have the most impact. If there aren't any leaves worse than what's shown in the first photo, and you get some Nuke Em on them in the next day or two, I think you can avoid cutting too many fan leaves. Also, if the fan in photo 4 is all you have going in there, I would add quite a bit more. Here is what my tent looks like currently.
My guitarists Amp was heating and I put a small z clip I made from a flat piece of metal to hook a small fan to blow air directly at the heat sink worked great the clip only added1/4" to the dimension of the head and the fan is small enough to pack in wire bag.

> If changing to right handed or left handed only shoes actually improved your game
ABSOLUTELY!!!! If I could choose between the biggest+best arsenal in the universe and a blah pair of shoes, or a 3-ball arsenal and great shoes... I'm taking the great shoes every single time. If you don't have a good footing/platform then you're gonna be on the struggle bus no matter what.
As far as your thumb and hand getting sweaty... get a small portable fan and keep that in your bag. I carry one like this around with me in my backpack and it can make a HUGE difference. Thumb slugs also help a lot with providing a consistent feel/texture from ball to ball.
We've used this one for years. It's relatively quiet compared to a box fan, but you can only expect so much since moving air is noisy by nature. We have no trouble watching TV with it on, though.
I was a first year elementary teacher last August! I bought a TON of stuff on Amazon. I pulled up all of my old orders...here are some of my favorites that I use daily in my classroom. These are not affiliate links, I just added links for quick wishlist adding for you :)
OH, and as far as things like books, manipulatives, school supplies...WAIT and see what you are provided with, first. Once I got into my classroom, I had a TON of things waiting for me like rulers, glue, a globe...things I probably would have bought, had I had all summer to shop (I got hired a week before school started). I was surprised to learn that my school didn't provide me with supplies like staples or paper clips (I had these things when I student taught elsewhere), so I had to run out and get those. Oh, and an actual stapler and tape dispenser! I forgot about those and when I needed those in the first week, I made a trip to Staples that night!

Find a way to do it and you'll LOVE it, I promise! So much better than laying them flat and having to sort through them when you need a certain one.
sheet protectors- Need cheap whiteboards? Pop a white piece of paper inside and voila. I use 99 cent store 4-pack markers, which have held up surprisingly well, for the kids (the tips also don't seem to "squish" in like the expos, so bonus!)

my favorite thing, a laminator! I laminate EVERYTHING...charts, nametags, word wall words, game boards, anything. There are different sizes of laminators that you can buy, I just have the standard one that fits normal sized sheets of paper, and it's served me very well! I also buy the refill pouches on Amazon because they are WAY cheaper than at Staples https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012UEXTQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this is optional, but sticky hands- these make GREAT prizes and the kids love them more than any other prize or incentive I've offered (I teach first grade). I get these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F4MGO2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also wanted to add...since I have primary, I wanted to make them "spots" to sit on for carpet time. A carpet wasn't provided to me (you know, the Lakeshore one with colored squares), so I went cheap and bought a few feet of carpet tape from sitspots.com. They have cute actual spots, too, but I was cheap and bought the tape, cut it into 3x3" squares, and slapped those on the classroom carpet. They're holding up great (I'll be able to reuse them next year for sure) and my custodian loves them because it's not actual adhesive tape on the carpet. I just got a new student, so I had to rearrange the spots...they peel up and stick back down PERFECTLY (they're velcro). If you have the need for something like this, I HIGHLY recommend the velcro tape stuff!
OH, and when it came to book boxes and book bins, 99 cent store, dollar tree, big lots are your friends! If you have a little more cash, I got some from Target in the dollar section, too. But, they only have theirs during June I believe (they're super strong, $3 a pop but I'll be able to reuse all of mine next year).
BEST pencil sharpener around is the one from classroomfriendlysupplies.com. It is amazing. PERFECT points every time, and it even gets through those cheap novelty wrapped pencils. I love it. My kids broke the electric one I bought, so I got this one and now just use it myself, although older kids would be able to learn it (I subbed in a 3rd grade class that had one and they used it just fine with some training).
I LOVE folders for things like an unfinished work folder, homework folder, writing folder, etc. The cheapest place I found was Staples...over summer they were selling boxes of 25 for $4. I got a ton of them in different colors. Made color coding easy!
Let me know if you have any questions or need any help navigating your first year. I'm a month away from being done with my first year, and it's still very fresh in my mind how stressful, fun, aggravating, exciting, exhausting, confusing, and rewarding it all is!

$60. Free shiping (I'm pretty sure it said so), and most reviews are very well and say its reliable. So it won't die on you like your other one. Or you could get two of the smaller ones for double coverage of your apartment
Came here to suggest a Vornado. I just got one a few weeks ago (specifically, this one). It's great, and really moves air.

That is the one I have. I don't have it pointed on the meat, and it is on low 24/7 and my chamber has been great since. So I'd say your fan would probably not be overkill (from my experience)
