Oust Fan Question

[Boppa-Wasch]

1. Can they (should they) be used in a larger Humidor? (about a 300 count)

2. How long does the battery usually last?

3. Is circulating the air good for balancing the humidity?

hey Boppa Wasch, They can be used in any humidor, if you have room for them, they are fairly big. Also the batterys are good for around a month or two. I just bought two of them for my new coolidor. Circulating the air in a humi is good to balance out the humidity areas, top and bottom and left and right and in between boxes etc. I'm stoked to give mine a whirl. Oh yeah the reason the batteries last long is the fan cycles on for like 20 min, off for 20.

I didn't know they had an auto-timer. I'll have to check these out for my coolerdor.

I have had mine for about 6 months and the battery is still good.

Sure do. Mine is I think 5/15. 5 on 15 off. I got my two per some suggestions here and they have worked spectacularly.opeyes:

I've been meaning to for mine as well....added to the list

And you can just buy these at Walmart?

I have a 120 qt cooler that I use an oust fan in, it really helps even the RH out, I found mine at Albertsons.

ANy store that carrys airfreshners. Got my two at the local grocery. KMart also. Many thanks for the posts you guys made about these. So simple, adjustable and easy. :clap:

Go get some. But buy lots of batteries and check them every three months or so. The batteries last fairly well, but it can be hard to tell when they are dying.

I have 2 Oust fans in my 30 bottle Haier fridge (which holds about 50 boxes). I have been doing some testing and those fans are just not big enough for what I have. I have much higher humidity in the lower part of the fridge than the top. I am going to upgrade to a computer fan which will be much more powerful.

1: Why not?
2: About 6 months
3: Yes

Excellent choice when you're using a passive humidifier, and don't have any access to electricity inside the box.

Strangly enough I couldn't find one at Wal mart. Got my 2 @ Publix (where shopping is a pleasure). :waving:

1. Can they (should they) be used in a larger Humidor? (about a 300 count) One should do just fine.

2. How long does the battery usually last? Mine close to 6 months, suggest check it monthly.

3. Is circulating the air good for balancing the humidity? That is the reason I bought mine. For a 300ct humidor or any desktop size humidor, these are about perfect for doing that job. I have one for the cooler and one on the shelf next to the beads in the wine cooler.

Just make sure to remove the scented part of this unit before placing in your humidor. These are made to blow the scent as an air freshener. They take a D size batter and one comes with the starter kit.

Actually my Wal-Mart didn't have them either, Got my 2 at Target. Can't waqit to get them in the coolidor

 

[AZsteelman]

Yep, they are the cat's ass!

Only last about 6 weeks for me. Same with other models.

HB, anyone that leaves the scent bottle in shouldnt be lighting matches.
