Fan Timer

[bvilchez]

Does anyone know anywhere I can purchase a plug-and-play fan to circulate the RH in my cabinet?

I have a 3,00 count tower that has outlets inside already. I tried searching but all I could find is custom stuff. I'm just tired of my RH being 65% steady at the top and 73% at the bottom. I want to place some orders but afraid that I'll be ruining whatever I place at the bottom.

Any help would be appreciated.

Something like this would be easy.

Just plug a small fan into it.

Thanks Adrian....I appreciate that.

I think I should have made myself clearer though. I'm looking for fan(s) with a timer already on it which is plug-and-play.

Oh. In that case, I've only seen one. I believe it was through cigarsolutions, but it's no longer on their website. It ran almost $100.

Just hook up a PC fan and let it run all the time. Call me up tomorrow and I can help you out Jay.

I have to politely disagree. When people put clothes on a line to dry, in many cases it's quite humid out, and the clothes still dry. Just that moving moist air
will not necessarily keep your cigars at your desired humidity. Constant air movement, even if humid can and will dry out cigars. .02

I'm just trying to circulate it. I personally will not leave it running all the time. Maybe 1-2 minutes every 15-30 minutes.

That would be perfect. The post I didn't agree with was to let it run constantly.

I got a digital timer and two computer fans from online cheap and made home made timered fans... If you are a little mechanically inclined PM me and i'll send you or anyone o the link on my little how-to.

You can get inexpensive digital timers that will let you get down to 1 minute increments, but the problem is most of them have a limited number of settings. One I have has 24 settings. But remember that turning the fan on, and then turning it off are each seperate events, so you end up with only 12 on/off cycles per day. Might work if you do it for 10 minutes per hour or something.

This one is similar to what I have, but it only does 20 events per day (10 on/off cycles).

You can find the ones that would allow you to set things like 2 minutes every 30 (i.e. 2 on 28 off), but the cost of those types of cycle timers starts getting a lot higher. $50 - $100+

Thanks for all the info fellas. I'm going to look into these options.
