I was looking at those fans before I decided on the vortex fans. They looked pretty good with price. The wattage was a bit high and I saw lots of complaints of them burning out or becoming obnoxiously loud before they had had it for a month. Alot of people also stated that they do not honor their warranty. The reason I went with the vortex is because I got them at a steal of a price, I didnt see any complaints about them and they come with a 10 year factory warranty. You pay a little more but for the piece of mind and warranty you cant go wrong. Personally I think if a company puts a 10 year warranty on a product there is no way its crap nor can you go wrong.
I have a 6" in Veg and 8" in bloom running since February and so far no issue's. No idea on warranty?? I bought it for noise level as this was my number one priority.
Skipper, they have a 10 year warranty. That was really what sold me on them. Obviously I didnt know if they were as quiet as advertised before I bought them. I can honestly say that they are very quiet and very well made. I like that you can remove the fan from the mounting bracket. I also like that it has a damper built right into it that you can remove. The damper does not matter as it's going to run 24/7 but it is a cool feature none the less. It's very light and just an all around nice product.
I gotta disagree here.... I am on my 3rd 6" inline fan on my 2nd exhaust.... still the 1st hydrofarm...
Disagre with what? Ive got a hydrofarm.. paid right around $70 a few years back.. that was one of the cheaper fans I was talking about. Folks are talking about vortex fans etc.. go check the price on those joints and tell me if you think the hydrofarm counts as a high ticket item
You can get em for a good price if you shop around. That's the only reason I got 2 of them. If they were not on sale I would have gotten one with a basic 20 dollar duckt fan. Not ideal for intake but it's better than nothing. Get a cheap heppa filter cut it and put a bug bag over it and you will have no issues with dust or bugs getting sucked in the tent.
True that - that fan I just got was like $240 iirc. Worth it for me though.
I would suggest you shop around you can find em way cheaper than 240 bro! I mean do what you want it's your money but you can definitely find em cheaper than that. I would look and return that one.
You may be thinking of a different fan - this is hyper fan 8" stealth - it has the built in muffler and is like 2ft long. I got it off Amazon - I found it mildly cheaper other places but they charged $50+ for shipping, I got mine prime. Appreciate you lookin out though bro
I've got the 6" silent model n I loooooove it.
If you want a small footprint, I don't think it gets any smaller than a standard Hyper Fan.
Hey Cob, I had to leave my house because of carbon monoxide on Friday night. I've been at a hotel since then. I'm not sure about skamatics right off my head. I should be able to go home today and when I do, I'll give you the info and snap a few pics of the fan next to something of scale for you to get an idea. Its bigger than a standard inline but not by much. I think the hyper fan is bigger and has more weight than the sline. It was also a bit louder and pricier than the sline. I've been told you're the man to talk too about led'. I'm glad you posted because I couldn't figure out your name here lol I was told there is a guy here who knows alot about led' but that was all the info I got lol. I'm thinking about the hlg 4000k cob. What are your thoughts on that unit and is 4000k good for veg and flower from your opinion? I've read a bit about Kelvin but I'm having troubles understanding things
. My brain is overloaded with info and it's getting a bit overwhelming and hard to focus lol
