Clip on fans

Just wondering if anyone has found a good quality oscillating clip on fan that lasts longer than a year. I seem to go through Vivosun fans like bic lighters...Latest one is a secret jardain which is stationary but still working and quiet. Any recommendations?
 
I've been using the same non-oscillating, Hurricane clip-ons for maybe three years.

Whatever you do, make sure the fan is blowing the right kind of air. Maybe a low smog to oxygen ratio? The your houseplants need a different air than your weed plants. Particles in the air can cause a sandblasting vortex effect that can erode your trichomes. If you get high air schmeg PPM, consider blowing with your lungs. The alveoli will help remove a lot of bits.
 
LOL I hear you on the Vivosun fans, they aren't designed well. When they manufacture them the wiring is done in such a way that it strains and breaks the power cable wires while oscillating. I fixed the ripped power cable on mine with some electrical wiring nuts and got it working again. Even after fixing the wiring issue the oscillation stopped working. Now I just use them as non oscillating fans. :confused:
 
I stopped using clip on fans, I picked up a 12" hurricane oscillating wall mount fan. I attached to a piece of plywood when I had a tent. Now it's just mounted to the wall. I couldn't find any reliable and powerful clip on fans. This was the next best thing I could find.
 
It’s hard to get clip ons to stay on the vertical corner posts. That’s why I put a couple pieces of pvc in my tent to make a horizontal bar to mount fans on. That’s a $2 upgrade the tent manufacturers would charge $39.99 for
 
I had the same thing come up on the vertical poles. Solved with a small piece of heater hose. Split lengthwise, place on vertical pole, clip on fan.

I used the Gorilla gear board to mount the Hurricane fan.

Hey Beard, i would(may have to) go with a larger, better quality wall mount fan but the inner framework or lack thereof, in my ice hut is the problem. Its pretty flimzy. There is no actual square box frame inside. Kinda like a pop up tent...push up two sides and insert a pressure pole in the center. tada. Might have to finagle something...
 
Hey Walty nice looking tent! How are those lights working out? i dont see them very often around here. Just looking at that growbud fan you put up....It identical to my vivosun fans..except they are black. Weasels......

Hey Homegrown,
i like the look of those fans! It’s hard to find fans that fit properly and don’t interact with the tent walls. You like those vivosuns?

As far as the lights, they’ve been great for me. I’m a big fan of Timber grow lights.
 
I ordered 3 of these from that site 4 months ago. Have yet to get them. Keep getting emails about delays in international shipping.
