I have 2 of these one in each coolidor. http://www.amazon.com/Camco-44123-Fridge-Airator/dp/B0006IX7TW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456966175&sr=8-1&keywords=camco fan They move a decent amount of air, maybe a little less than a computer fan. No intermittent mode just on all the time. I have had them for 2 months on the same battery(1 D cell). My plan is to purchase rechargeable batteries but they are still going strong. I pulled the little charcoal filter pack out, no need to absorb the beautiful smell in the cooler. They seem well made and a good value. The dimensions are inaccurate on amazon, they are 3x3x4in

I saw those but seem a little big.

I was hoping these would've been around $25. I'm still curious and interested but I'll wait and see some reviews to see if it's really worth that $40 price tag. Would be something cool to try in my small cabinet humidor. Plus, like many of you had mentioned when Famous gets them I'll get a few smokes and the fan with our BOTL discount code.

It better have rock-solid reliability and perform as marketed at that price point.
My guess is that it will be another overpriced piece of (made in China) Xikar crap but that's just wild speculation based on past experience.

Edit: I'm assuming that we've already established at $40 that it's overpriced.

used a laptop cooler after I gave up on the Ousts. Use nothing now after I gave up on the laptop cooler.
I wired a squirrel cage fan to move air from the bottom of my wino to the top and let it run most always.

I haven't checked in months but last I checked the RH was near identical top to bottom. Might have been luck.

My cigars smoke good so I ain't worried.

What RH is the squirrel at?

This one works well in the wino as well. Using the same one!

For that price you could easyily build your own. I have a nice shaped cigar box I though about turning into a box fan basically. Wouldnt be expensive and you could do a little battery powered microcontroller to have it turn on and off at what ever rate you want.
