$225 for one of those.
General Storage:
Get a big storage box, one of the ones that looks like this. (Not recommending that particular one, just an example of the style I'm talking about.) You'll probably be traveling with this, for furcons and such, so make sure it fits in the trunk of your car and/or meets the requirements for a checked bag on your airline of choice. I also highly recommend getting one with wheels so it doesn't take both hands and brute strength to move it around.
Head Storage:
Get one of these styrofoam heads, and keep your fursuit head on it. I got one for a buck or two from a nearby Ulta. This will keep the inside in shape. If your real-life head is bigger than the styrofoam one, you can bulk it out some with duct tape and scrap cardboard. Wherever you keep your fursuit head, make sure it's not squished at all. If your box is big enough, you can just leave it in there. I keep mine on top of a bookshelf.
Bodysuit Storage:
You want to hang your bodysuit up. If you fold it, the fur can get kinked, and it will never brush out soft and smooth again. I use one of these wetsuit dryers, and I highly recommend them. It's made for holding heavier clothes than a regular coat hanger, the shoulders are rounded such that you won't stretch it the same way a regular coat hanger would, and, most importantly, it has a built-in fan in the top of it, which really helps your suit dry out before it can get funky. Which leads me to suit care...
Drying:
Getting your suit dry after you use it is really really important. Get a cheapo desk fan ( I have one of these ) and put your head on it after you wear it. (Without the styrofoam wig head inserted, of course.) Hang the bodysuit up (ideally using the wetsuit dryer mentioned above) and lay the paws and miscellaneous bits out where they can dry. Never EVER just take the suit off and leave it in a pile, or stuff it in your box. Stuff will grow in it right away, and you will stink to high heaven.
It may be overkill, but I also keep some of these desiccant packs in my box, just to make sure it stays dry.
Sanitizing:
Get a little spray bottle from a drug store and fill it with a 50/50 solution of rubbing alcohol and water. Whenever you take your suit off, spray every surface down with this mixture, especially the inside. This will help keep unpleasant things from growing in it. Don't use undiluted rubbing alcohol, because it will actually evaporate too quick to finish killing everything. Don't use febreeze, perfumes, or other sanitizers. The febreeze and perfumes will just (badly) mask all the nasty smells without killing the source. Other cleaners can leave residue, and most of them you really, really don't want to be breathing in the next time you wear your suit.
Brushing:
You'll want to brush your suit after you wear it, so that the fur doesn't get kinked and you don't look mangy. Get a wire cat brush and run it down the fur with the hooks facing backwards, such that they don't catch. You'll still pull out a little fluff, but it shouldn't be real bad, and you'll end up yanking out a lot more if you let the fur get matted anyway.
Washing:
Washing fursuits is hard, and to be avoided if possible. If your fursuit smells noticeably, you need to wash it, but if you're letting it dry and spraying it with alcohol, you can go a long time before it needs to be washed. Everytime you wash it, you'll inevitably lose a bit of the fluff.
Anything with foam in it is going to be problematic. If parts of your costume are just fur fabric, you can machine-wash them. Washing temperature depends on the fabric your suitbuilder used; consult them, or the store you got the fabric from. Turn the pieces inside-out. To dry, you can machine-dry them on NO HEAT/AIRDRY, or you can hang them up to dry. Never use a dryer with the heat on; it's pretty easy to melt the fur together, ruining the suit. You may be able to get away with the 'low heat' setting, but it's highly dependent on your dryer and the fabric, and I don't suggest risking it.
Pieces that contain foam should be spot-cleaned. (Get a damp washcloth or something and just dab the insides, rinsing the washcloth out repeatedly.) If that's not enough, you can submerge them in your bathtub and do some cleaning there, but don't do so if you don't have to. You run a good chance of messing up your head if you submerge it. Also, it will take a very long time for foam to dry; spray it with the alcohol and use whatever fans you have around to expedite the process. Never machine-dry any foam parts; they'll likely break from the tumbling.
Don't buy a shitty plastic fan at the store.
Buy a legit shop fan like so:

It's not overly expensive and they are powerful as fuck. I put one on my bed and sit it about 16." From my upper body and I actually wake up cold from it and have to use a blanket.
Combine that with a water spray bottle and you'll be fine.
Not sure if you’re being serious, but Dyson sells a more-popular-than-it-should-be desk fan for $250.
Is your apartment unfurnished? If so you will need some basic furnishings:
As far as basic living supplies go:
School supplies in college are pretty basic- you don't need much, but depending on your major this could go waaay up or down. But as far as I'm concerned your basic supplies are as follows:
Things to consider:
I know its scary, but living alone is great, and studying in a university is really not a huge deal once you get into the rhythm of things. You'll do great, kid.
This is by far the best fan I have ever owned. I have found that it moves air well enough that I don't need a tower fan. The price is more than you want to spend, but if you are willing to bump up to $100 I strongly recommend this one. I have had mine for a few years now and I absolutely love it.
Compact vornado is still $30:
Vornado 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGPWJXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wgW3CbE7FJ7GE
It's gone up but maybe you can still get it!
My place is 480 sqft. I have a single 8,000 BTU window air conditioner. It got to 95F yesterday and I was able to maintain 68F in my place.
12k BTU is way more than enough to keep your place very cool.
To answer your bedroom question, I place a small fan inside of the doorway to keep the air circulating. One of these. It's good to have your HVAC slightly oversize, but putting another head unit in the bedroom will be huge overkill and could lead to problems.
Look for RV and boating equipment for 12v appliances. I have a cabin that is all solar. It runs two 100w panels and a little cheap charge controller that charges 4 cheap golf cart batteries. I have a 500w inverter on it for things I can't run any other way but I try not to even put load on that. I wired it up like it was a boat, with a boat bus bar in place and ran standard Romex to 12v LED stip lights via standard light switches. And then plugged in a large 12v changing station with 4 12v sockets like in a car and 4 USB ports. So I can run laptops and charge cellphones and the like. For fans I found battery powered camping fans that ran on D batteries strung together to 12v that had a DC plug on the side. I wired up a DC plug for them right off the batteries and they run on that. They are not ceiling fan but I have 3 so each person can have one on hot nights. I am in Southern VA, so not to far from you.
Fan I use:

Currently Amazon has the blue/yellow single Grand Trunk hammocks for $25. Pretty awesome price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007A0IH5I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have and love this Vornado 660 fan. If you understand how it works, i.e. put it in the a place on the floor or a desk and point it to the opposite diagonal corner of the room and turn it on, this thing moves air around the whole room and the room feels cooler because of the constant air movement. It is within your budget, order one and try it out, if you do not like it you can always return it.
Same, it's a really good fan for how small it is.

I have a 1000w and this is what I have gotten to after many hours of pain and grief:
These are the fans I am waiting on: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG
Hi Professor. I've been dying to ask this question but never met the right person. Hope you don't mind me asking an impromptu question. Let's say I have a standard two car garage that I use for an home office. I also have 4 small fans like this one.
I can open the garage door almost as far as 4 feet tall, but no taller (for privacy reasons).
What should I do? For example, do I:
Just put one of these directly in front of your video cards. You'll probably need two for a 6+ GPU rig.
https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
It doesn't look like much but I got this fan in college and I still have it a few years later. A few of my friends also had it and everyone always says how powerful it is for such a small fan.
https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520092829&sr=8-4&keywords=desk+fan&dpID=51cns9iTCtL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a fan as a solution. I live in Florida, too, so I bought a Vornado Air Circulator and it quickly made that room the coolest in the house. I just point it out the door so it pushes the warm air out. It's noisy, but very powerful for the money.
Smaller, cheaper model that I own.
I'd choose the small or medium Vornado fan before the Dyson. I've been using it fulltimeing for five years now and it really does make the whole room feel cooler.
I'd also recommend:
a washer/dryer combo if you have room.
Square Pizza stone and thermometer for the oven.
LED Bulbs for everything 12v and 110v
Shark Rocket Ultralight vaccum
Water Filter
Better mattress
Ninja Pro Blender/Food Possessor/Chopper
Mini Dish Drying rack
I should probably pull this post for not being Portland-related, but it's really hot and I'm sorry you don't have a fan. For researching stuff like this I really like The Sweethome and its tech-related sister site The Wirecutter
Here's their picks for The Best Fan. I actually recently bought their runner-up pick, the Vornado 630 (although the price has gone up, it was $60 when I bought it.) It's a great little fan.
I've used this fan for the past few years. Quieter than a lot of other fans I've used, and a bit cheaper than my last one that the maintenance crew stole.
A patio ceiling fan works the best. I use the 99$ vornado floor fan works great. Pricey but I am a big fan.

I have the Vornado 630 and really love it! When I forget to turn it on, it’s a noticeable difference!

Holmes 8-Inch Fan | Lil’ Blizzard... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share they should be these.
This is my first time growing, so please feel free to critique/rip into my setup, as I really appreciate all the help and knowledge! I actually ordered my seeds from JAHseeds a year ago, but never got my shit together enough to actually do anything with them.
 
I do want to take a quick moment to thank u/AFK_ing for the seeds first, as they were actually gifted to me for free. I placed an order on a whim one night, and then completely forgot about it. Turns out that JAHseeds never ended up depositing the interac transfer I sent them, so it inevitably expired. I had forgotten about the order completely, when out of the blue one day I received a letter in the mail complete with 12 free seeds and a handwritten 'apology' letter. This absolutely floored me, and left me feeling super warm and fuzzy inside. I've been cherishing the seeds up until now, so I'm really really happy that I can finally bring them to life :) Anyways....thank you JAHseeds!
 
Onto the setup! Currently running:
 
2x alibaba 240w QB
 
Promix HP + 2inch layer of worm castings on the bottom
 
Strain is The Best My seeds are not feminized however, so still unsure of sex.
 
Right now they are in 1 gallon pots and I'm planning on moving them into 7 gallon fabric pots when the time is right.
 
I kinda went ham one night and bought the entire GH nutrient lineup (including all the additives....) so I'm planning on sticking to their schedule (halved) throughout the grow. I know I could have done without a lot (most) of them, but yeah it was still cheaper than buying an Oz from the LP....Currently only feeding them water.
 
The tent is a GA 48x48x80, with a Vivosun 6 inch duct fan and carbon filter
 
Holmes Lil' Blizzard fan (this thing moves a lot of air)
 
I originally had a smaller tent so I started out germinating 3 seeds by dropping them in a glass of water for 36 hours. After they all popped, I planted them directly into coco pots. At that time I decided to change to a larger tent, so I dropped 2 more seeds into a glass of water to germinate. 36 hours later one of the seeds had popped, but not the other. I planted the one that popped, and left the other in the water for another 12 hours. At this time it still hadn't popped, so I just dropped it into a pot with the others. The one that never popped didnt end up coming through the soil until about 2 days ago (I was actually just about to give up on it). It's the tiny coco pot in the middle. Pretty sure it's gonna be a retard plant but whatever, I'll give it some love and care. Don't tell Justin. The nice healthy plant on the bottom right is the other seed that I germinated with it at the same time.

Self Inflatable Air Pad - So much better than sleeping on the tent tarp / yoga mat.
Handheld Water Misting Fan - The most popular item at my tent the past couple of years. Put a few small ice cubes and water for a refreshing cool down.
If you are looking for a cheap water cooling system, i typically use this for my shoe box builds: https://www.amazon.com/O2cool-Deluxe-Battery-operated-Handheld-Water-misting/dp/B000QUC8N6
VIP has "Air conditioned" bathrooms (although with the traffic, its not really noticeable). They also last year had a couple areas with much better AC. However, there are plenty of cool down areas throughout the festival.
In regards to the weather - Its the desert southwest. Expect 110-115 during the day. Last year, it was still over 100 degrees when the sun was setting, and around 2-3 AM it finally got into the mid 80's. Needless to say, drink plenty of water (but don't over-hydrate, that can be dangerous), wear thin clothes and visit those cool down rooms frequently.
I also recommend getting one of those misting fans like this or this, but would send an email to [email protected] first to make sure it is allowed in (and save and print (3 copies, one for each night) and bring that email with you - be sure to include a picture of the item in the email)
http://www.amazon.com/O2-Cool-FD05004-Portable-Battery-Operated/dp/B001AVMSEY/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1397940089&sr=1-1&keywords=battery+operated+fan
Putting these in the vents might help.
I just ordered:
a small battery powered fan to put next to my bed.
Some battery powered LED sting lights for inside the tent.
A hanging closet organizer to hang in the tent to keep all my small bins and whatnot organized and easily accessible.
I have a stove like that for emergencies. I have used it a few times outside and it works great.
Do you have an area outside where you could use it? That would probably be best. But, I would think it would be ok for use indoors near an open window, with a Carbon Monoxide detector and maybe a battery powered fan. The fans are also handy if you lose power and AC during hot months.
just got [this fan] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B16VT6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) and it worked wonders this past weekend at flower of life. can't really bring it with you into the forest but perfect for chilling at camp. get big ass tapestries for your ez up too since the sun moves and shit. other advice: get her a nice snapback and/or pashmina to protect against the sun. i'm a very pasty individual so sunscreen reapplication/chafing can be a bitch with all that dirt so if i have to be in the sun, they are the perfect protection for my shoulders and face. but a lot of the time im hiding in the forest where there is shade everywhere so these items are easy to just snap/tie to my fanny/camelback bc you don't wanna carry much if anything at all while you're there <3
The best way to keep your cat happy is to let her sleep on the dashboard so she can subathe alll day :D
Is your cat an outside cat or inside cat? Because you can still set up a litter box for her if she's an inside cat. If she's an outside cat, you'll have to find some sort of enclosed area to let her roam around in and do her business.
For keeping her comfy on hot days: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B16VT6/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_2_w
lived on the first floor of a UWP court during fall and spring term. highly recommend bringing a fan or two, especially a (reversible) window fan. had a small honeywell fan to circulate air around and a reversible window fan that fits in your sliding window.
i used my window fan to exhaust the air out in the morning or when it got hot. at night past 12:00 AM, the temperature would dip to below 20 degrees so i would use my window fan to blow air in to cool my room down by a huge factor. my room went from a sauna to a standard room with AC in 20 minutes. a window fan is very useful for a decent amount of temperature control in your room. very helpful for sleeping at night.
general ways of beating the heat would be to only go to your room to cook, shower, drop stuff off, or sleep. go to a place with AC (like grand commons or CMH) to study or do whatever instead. close all of your blinds and keep the lights off to keep your room as cool as possible. sleeping without a blanket became a necessity during the first couple weeks of september and all of july and august.
TL;DR - buy a reversible window fan
edit: formatting
My advice as well. Doesn't even have to be a big fucking one, though. This is a good fly-b-gone with some really decent power, and the base allows for various mounting options.
I'll just give you my generalize copy/pasta I usually hand out in situations like these so if you wanna read it when you got a chance, then you have it! Also has tips and purchase links for Amazon as well for different axolotl stuffs.
HOW TO CYCLE:
Warnings:
1.If your tank isn't cycled, you are going to chemical burn them with ammonia in the water. And they will suffer. Nitrate ( the final of the chemical process) can also burn the fish/axolotl. This is why we keep this number under 40ppm. If it is higher than 40ppm, change the water 75%.
*NOTE: Most bottles of beneficial bacteria say they cycle a tank in a day. Cycling can take up to a month in some cases but usually just two weeks if you keep on it. This requires constantly monitoring, testing and replacing most of the water in the tank when you get high ammonia/nitrite levels. You need ammonia/nitrite to be 0 and nitrate to be more than 0. Definitely less <40. If all your levels are higher than this, or if nitrate remains 0, your tank isn't cycled.***
Summery;
So basically, cycling builds beneficial bacteria which makes these waste breakdown chemicals go through a cycle of breaking down into a less dangerous form which keeps fish/axolotl from getting sick/dying. ... Most new fish people don't do this. And fish store employees try & tell them just adding something like seachem stability fixes this. It doesn't. An uncycled tank is basically new tank syndrome and it kills animals.
You still are going to need to keep an eye on chemical levels after the cycle..Occasionally different things can cause the cycle to "crash", like changing the filters or a high tempeture, or the filters becoming dry..
Once your tank is cycled, and you have an axolotl, honestly it's not that much work. The cycles the worst part. I feed my adult axolotls once every other day, I change 75% of their water twice a month, and add water to top it off / spot clean occasionally two-three other times a month due to the water I lose due to evaporation.

Do you use pulleys for your lights? I hang my clip fans upside-down from the extra line on those.

I have a portable fan I put either on my table or down on the floor. Link to item on Amazon. I get lots of compliments on it from guests and photographers.
I also bring 3 changes of clothes. One to setup in, one to perform in, and one to tear down/drive home in.
I pack a roll of paper towels, but my next gig this weekend (outdoor barn venue in Georgia) I am bringing a small towel. The paper towels get soaked instantly and sometimes leave lint on my face.
Lastly, I would recommend dressing up in vest, shirt, and tie only if the clients requested it. My go-to is dress slacks and a golf style polo (the dry thread type). I got 3 of them at Sam's for $20 each and they are sharp. I have some long sleeve button down shirts that don't show sweat much I will wear if I want to really dress up. I have yet to wear a tie.
Don't be shy about how hard you are working. Other vendors and guests understand. If they see you pushing through it and not letting up they will be more inclined to party, too!
Good luck and stay hydrated!

DIY yourself a redneck air-conditioner.
Or get a Vornado off amazon. I have one of these
It's a little $15 Amazon fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HI7950/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The humidifier I stole from my son's room. I live in Southern California so it is not very humid at all... ever...
I'm no physicist, but perhaps the principle of putting it in your car could perhaps apply to putting it in a trash bag and sealing it air tight. As long as you get your stuff in the bag while it's not humid it probably should be good and dry when you open it later in the night.
For while you're sleeping you should try to keep your tent well ventilated. Keep the rain fly open (if it's clear weather of course) and any extra "windows" open as well as a small camp fan to keep air moving. This will help move your breath moisture out of the tent. However the very very humid Michigan nights will keep everything quite moist until the sun rises. Alternatively, just stay awake until the sun rises then you don't have to worry about the humid nights :)

I really love my Vornado whole room air circulator. It's a fairly small fan that has a lot of power. You just point it at a ceiling corner in the room and it does the job.

They make a whole bunch of models https://www.vornado.com/shop
VR Covers are pretty much #1 rated in terms of thier effectiveness. Mines arriving in a few hours actually :D. Due to the amount you perspire, I suggest you coming a VR cover with a headband. Also, what games are you playing that cause you to sweat so much? Are you a larger individual playing intense games? Or are you like how I was and had the damn thing strapped to my face like it was an an oxygen mask lol? Also, consider getting an oscillating fan.
Cheaper fan. A more quality fan.
I love that you're trying to help your mom! I regret so much that I wasn't very understanding or patient with my own mom when she was dealing with this.
I definitely agree with the suggestion of a small fan for a bedside table. Here are 2 that I've been using for years, and highly recommend:
https://smile.amazon.com/OPOLAR-Operated-Recahrgeable-Hurricane-Portable/dp/B0749M96XT (The rechargeable batteries are a lifesaver, and it allows me to take the fan with me around the house. And it's great to travel with -- mine has been with me all over the country.)
https://smile.amazon.com/Caframo-7-Inch-White-Chinook-Fan/dp/B0010UPOEQ (This lives on my nightstand, and it's one of my most favorite belongings.)

I used a sleep mask in addition to my black out curtains because they don’t keep all the light out. I really love this one. And honestly you could just just this for a while and throw some blankets or whatever over your windows until you can afford black out curtains. It’s pretty comfortable and really blocks the light. I also have a powerful but small fan I run for white noise and just point it at the wall. It cancels out the construction been happening - similar to this one.
I’ve been working nights for two years and sometimes I am on a good schedule but mostly I feel like my sleep is always kinda messed up. I can make it with to for now but if you are really suffering get to days as soon as you can.
Vornado fans- I don't know how they do it, but a medium Vornado circulator moves more air in my apartment than 3 old box fans. They are quiet, and last forever. Don't buy the knockoffs that look similar, they don't work nearly as well.
https://amzn.com/B000E5WAUO
I've tried a number of different ducts (this one and this one along with fans of various sizes and CFM ratings and haven't found anything that works satisfactorily. I've gone all the way up to mounting a 40mm x 40mm x 28mm fan on the x-carriage and that gives the best result, but still not good enough. I also tried putting a big 120mm fan on the back of my printer, but that didn't do much either.
The only thing that's given me acceptable results is taking a small desk fan like this and sitting it right in front of the printer.
I've been using (4) of these 8" Lil' Blizzard fans 24/7 for about 3 years straight, and they have been nothing but rock solid(knock on wood). You would have to customize a mount for your tent pole, but it's completely doable and has a really ideal amount of airflow(2 speeds) in the 4x4 or smaller environment. This is my setup in veg. I also run this same thing under my flowering tents canopy.
u/arsfarsy, u/Jortear thought you might be interested as well
Holmes Lil' Blizzard?
This is the best fan you can use.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_O08UDb6NJRRRQ
It's not quite small enough to be a desk fan (it could fit, it might be too much), but it's compact and still moves a lot of air for its size. I've had this same fan for over 7 years now and it still works great, I'm using it right now.
I don't know your definition of inexpensive, but I've had this one for a few years and like it a lot. It throws the column of air pretty far so I can get a breeze from accross the room.

Here are two different sized fans I have used. Both have run at least 3 nights in a row without running out of power. The larger one especially moved a decent amount of air in my opinion. I was by myself, however, and not in texas in the summer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B16VT6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Don't do the 6 for $45
Just add 5 of them to your cart and they will come out to around $30
You might want a fan speed controller, unless you just want to always run it full blast.
Ratchet rope hanger can be helpful for adjusting light height. Also something to hang your fan... I went with paracord since I already had a bunch.
Smart/fabric pots are a popular option.
Some sort of fan(s), the small clip on ones are popular, can also go for the standing oscillating ones or a small one like this
A tent that small will limit you, I'd spring for a slightly larger one unless you really have space constraints.
Swiffer's are pretty great for cleaning floors and they aren't expensive. Also get a small vacuum for any carpeting. If you like coffee, definitely get a Keurig. If you're in an area that has cold winters, a comforter for your bed will be important (there are some really cute ones at Target). For when it's warmer out, having a small fan will help the air in your room circulate better. As for LED light strips, this one from Amazon worked really well for me.
Okay, listen. I know The Truth. The One Great Truth. and I'm going to share it with you. Ready? Here it is:
Fans.
Yes, fans. Those things that push air around. Get a reliable little 10+ inch personal fan for ~15 bucks, like this or this. It'll last you years.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Fans, really? That's the ultimate truth of the universe?
Yes. Fans are everything.
You only need one. Put it on a stand next to your bed, about 1-2 feet away from where your face will be. Aim it properly, turn it on, wrap yourself up and enjoy pure bliss. Your body will be warm and your face will be caressed by a pleasant cool breeze for the entire night. Hot flashes? Who gives a shit? Just turn that baby up one notch and go back to sleep. Boom, done.
It's not an exaggeration when to say that for me, sleeping with a fan is at least twice as easy and enjoyable as without. I've been sleeping this way for at least a decade.
Here are just a few bullet points in case you're not completely head over your heels in love with fans yet.
Don't listen to the Koreans. Sleeping with a fan on won't hurt you. If anything it will make you stronger. Praise the fan.

I use just a standard Lasko box fan in my current room. Back when I was relegated to a desk fan, the black Honeywell fans are awesome machines that won't break the bank.
I just use a little honeywell office fan, $14 on amazon

Yeah, once i saw them in person it took about five seconds to figure out how they worked and were instantly less impressive.
http://preschoolmum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/airflow-diagrams.jpg
I think maybe without even realizing it Dyson is playing on peoples memories of that Sharper Image thing from a while back and they think its some crazy sci fi stuff with charged wires moving the air.
If you need a small fan i can guarantee this is better than the dysons by any metric. https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/
It feels much better when you put the helmet on and it is very cool. This is the one I have, it rotates up and I just place my helmet on it until the next session.
How about one of these? Bigger is better right?
You might want a little bigger fan for flowering. Something like this maybe.
What is your plan for controlling the smell?
Something I rarely see suggested is bringing a fan for your room. Something like this. depending on your room some can get a little stuffy and having the fan to help circulate air around really helps.
This one is pretty nice Also Target has a box fan for 15 bucks and works well.
Have you tried specifically desensitizing him to the noises? I know this can be hard in an apartment where there are SO MANY noises and some that the pup can hear and you can't but it can be a start. Kikopup has a good video.
I live in an apartment as well and after about 2 months of "settling in" time my dog started barking at everything. How much exercise is he getting? What kind of dog is he? Sometimes they bark for boredom or attention when they normally wouldn't if they're too wound up. Honestly, upping exercise and general stimulation will likely help a lot.
Another we did that helped A LOT was the relaxation protocol. My dog is far more relaxed inside now, even if his needs haven't been 100% met in terms of exercise and training for the day.
In the mean time, I would get a small fan and run it in wherever he is hanging out. It'll create some constant, consistent noise and drown out some of the other things he's hearing (neighbors tuning a key in their apt 3 floor up)
I got one of these off of amazon and it's pretty good for the price. There's a larger 15 inch model.
If the factory is super hot + humid and you'd probably want to invest in a blower fan.
Get a small fan for under your desk.
I'm in Florida and workout before going to a professional office. Also, I am a world-class sweater. This made the difference for me.
I have two of these in my house. They're small, powerful, quiet and can be angled up/down to push the air where you need it to go.
I bought them several months back for about $13.00 each and see they are now $10.00 each. I felt the price I paid was excellent - for $10.00 these are a steal.
Edited to add - I bought the black, 11 inch ones.
My place is almost always warmer inside than out :( I got a Vornado 660 last year and have not regretted it one bit. It's pricey but it's built like a tank and there's nothing like having a constant breeze in your place on demand. I replaced a three fan setup that was noisy as hell with that and a box fan.
I use the Vornado 660. Not exactly super stylish but it recirculates air around your room.
Because they’re cheap. I have this Vornado CR1-0121-06 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator Fan, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025QKUE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jxR9AbRT13V31 and it works way better than any shitty tower fan, oscillating fan, box fan etc.
I just have it in the corner of my room pointing up towards my bed and it pushes a lot of air
I ended up getting the Hyper 212 Plus because I read some reviews that said it was quieter than the Evo. I've never had an Evo, so I have no basis of comparison, but I just installed the Plus last night, and it was definitely quieter all day today than the stock cooler I took out of there.
On a separate but related note - I have a quad monitor setup, with 2 GPUs, 3770k, and WD Black, so my office gets pretty hot. The old fan I was using to cool the room was too loud for me to keep it on when having meetings on Skype. So I ordered a Vornado 660. On the lowest setting, it keeps me nice and cool, and is damn near silent, even from up close. So quiet in fact, that after I bought it, that's when I decided to replace the stock CPU cooler, as that was then the loudest thing in the room. So, I definitely recommend that Vornado - worth every penny.
I have an MES30 and I use these two items (mainly when I am cold smoking with a mailbox mod to achieve good airflow into the smoker, but it does well for moving the smoke from under the roof):
https://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-90-Round-Adjustable-Elbow-B90E3/100112500
https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Flippi-Personal-Circulator-Black/dp/B004HI7950/
The fan's lowest setting is very slow, and works perfectly for moving the smoke away from under my patio roof, without pulling it out of the smoker too quickly.
Get some fans. 24" or so, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Patton-18-inch-High-Velocity-PUF1810B-BM/dp/B004WT6ZFO/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411422603&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=high+velocity+fan
If you sleep on the top floor:
If you sleep on the bottom floor:
The idea is to create a pressure differential in your house where the hot air up top is pushed out, and where the fans are away from where you sleep.
I live in very similar situation and this works extremely well.

I ordered this fan from Amazon based on a couple of youtube videos that I watched looking for a tent fan, runs on D batteries. It's fairly large, so only consider it if you're not traveling far.
here ya go
Well it wasn't the most efficient way, this is what I did: my tent had one of the venting spots at the top, and I took a small powerful fan like this one and rested it on the vent in such a way that it pulled air from the outside into the tent, and I ran it on high/med most of the time. Obviously the air wasn't filtered like it should've been, but it drastically cooled the temps inside the tent.
6" and 390cfm is a big fan/filter for 54cf is overkill. (I'm using a 4" fan and a cheap filter which is still overkill for two tents at 45cf) Are you sure you need it and, more importantly, that the tent has the proper sized ventilation holes?
Another thing I noticed is that you have 2 mars600. I use one in my 2x2x5 tent and it gives off a good bit of heat. On top of that it takes up nearly the entire width of my tent. I would highly recommend having just one per tent.
Also you need to add a small clip fan for the inside of the tent to circulate air. I recommend this one. It doesn't suck.
>>Avalon 6-Inch Clip-On Fan - Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fan, Fully Adjustable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BKZC86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CVZBxb1FF1SVE
After that make sure you pick up some flexible ducting at whatever size you decide your fan and filter will be. Get some aluminum foil tape and duct clamps while you're at it so you don't use shitty duct tape that will fail you.
Yeah, I'm using a pre-fab grow tent. The reason I duct my passive intakes is so that I can add at least one 90° angle to the duct so that when the lights are out, the passive intakes aren't allowing any light in to the tent.
CFM = ft³/minute
3x3x5 = 45ft³
45ft³/190CFM = 0.24minutes = 14.4seconds
The CFM listed on your fan is almost always measured under ideal circumstances (basically just the fan out in the open, attached to no ducting at all). The actual output will be lower when you add ducting, and especially when you add a carbon filter. If your fan is called a "booster fan", it should not be hooked to a carbon filter and these reductions will be larger.
What I did to measure my exhaust directly was grabbed a garbage bag (that listed its size in litres/gallons), and measured the time it took for my exhaust fan to fill the bag.
If you find that is good, these are the fans I have in my tent (1 at canopy, 1 at ground):
https://www.amazon.ca/Genesis-6-Inch-Clip-Fan-Convertible/dp/B01559O0WY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Genesis+6-Inch+Clip+Convertible+Table-Top+%26+Clip+Fan&qid=1562015978&s=gateway&sr=8-1
They are especially good at the canopy level. I have considered getting a slightly stronger fan for ground level.
I like this one, it's designed for grow tents and the clip is sturdy. It is also WAY more adjustable and easier to adjust as well than some of the other 6" clip ons I have seen.

Like others have mentioned, keep your place as dark as possible, and make sure you have ice in your dogs water bowl.
The Vornado helped me a lot in LA, it felt way cooler (maybe 10 degrees F) after having it on for about 30-60mins
If you don’t like the breeze and want to cool the whole room try one of these
I’m gonna get one before summer and from what I’ve read they cool the whole room better while also not blowing directly on you
It should. I've actually got this problem now. I installed an Ryzen 2700x along with one of my GTX 1080s into an NZXT 200i as a test a couple of weeks ago and it overheats and shuts down almost instantly as soon as I try to launch a game. This is with the biggest AIO I could fit in it along with four 140mm fans installed. With the side off and this fan fan blowing in, temps stay low to mid 30s, even at full load.
One of the Vornado fans up against the opened window would help a lot - I used to think they were overpriced normal fans but they're legit a huge help for room circulation, read the reviews.

This is the fan you want. I had one gifted to me by a fellow fan officianado. It is extremely loud and drowns out all other noise. It’s fan function works well too
Are you talking about this? I got one in addition to this Vornado and I have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed, but it's so cheap that I really can't complain. The vornado on the other hand it's pretty good, but maybe not as powerful at the Lasko that they suggested you below.
I can't really help you with a clip fan, but I've had a Vornado 630 running on full speed in each of my tents for over a year now, with zero issues. They're very well made. I won't hesitate to buy more in the future.

First suggestion is to address the snoring... not only bad for you, but good chance it is terrible for his/her sleep. Tried nasal strips or positional therapy (ie, learning to sleep on stomach, etc) yet? Beyond that there's oral appliances or cpap machines or more invasive procedures.
As far as addressing noise, suggest ear plugs and white noise. IMHO best is decent mid-sized fan, vornado is my pick after trying a few (like this one). Also there are a bunch of white noise machines if you don't like the breeze... probs can find an app that does it over speakers if you want to try it out.
i've been doing some research myself and there's http://www.amazon.com/Holmes-HAOF87BLZ-UC-Blizzard-Adjustable-Table/dp/B000J07RMU it has pretty wide area coverage, i used to have a cabinet grow using these fans. :D
I have 2 of these, they are push a decent amount of air and I put a few holes into the base and have them zip tied to the walls.

Honestly a couple small fans do the trick for me.
I hang or lay everything out so that it's get some air flow, spray everything with an odour killer, and let the fans do the work.
This is the model I use:
https://www.amazon.ca/Holmes-Blizzard-7-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=asc_df_B000J07RMU/?tag=googlemobshop-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=234376523249&amp;hvpos=1o2&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=650750073271078143&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9000664&amp;hvtargid=pla-293946777986&amp;psc=1
I found it on sale in a local home store for like $18, bought two ten years and never looked back.
If you read my other comments, you will see that I have all 5 vents/holes open and in the 6th, I have this 8" fan blowign inward, on high.
https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Blizzard-8-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU
It is still suctioned to the max.
I just went ahead and bought a 6" AC Infinity Cloudline T6 last night. It is only 330cfm vs the 750cfm the 8" inline fan is.
The beds have little shelves that you can attach to the head (or you can request one from facilities if you don't have one.)

Or you can install a window fan, or I personally just had one of these that I put against the window.
This is a bit larger than those USB fans, but still able to reasonably sit on a desk. It moves a lot more air.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J07RMU/
Here is a small 8" one: https://smile.amazon.com/Holmes-Blizzard-8-Inch-Oscillating-Table/dp/B000J07RMU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=small+oscillating+fan&qid=1555104639&s=gateway&sr=8-3
They work pretty well, I was using two for a good while. I recently upgraded to a tower fan https://smile.amazon.com/Honeywell-Quiet-Whole-Room-Tower/dp/B01N2P6V5P/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=tower+fan&qid=1555104710&s=gateway&sr=8-5
The tower fan is more powerful, quieter, and more efficient. It's worked super well for me! It takes up a good bit of space in my 2'x4'x6' tent, but I think it's worth it to have a fan, and it doesn't really take up much more floor space than the small 8" one (2x 8" fans take up more space than 1x tower fan). I hope this helps!
You mean Li’l Bleezy? You’ve got it, friend!

I'd recommend having one of these handy

If your windows face west or south, keep them closed unless it's dark outside, and keep them as blacked out as possible during the day. If your windows face north or east, you might be able to keep them open in the afternoon and let air in. I also have 3 of these to move cooler air into hotter areas. They help a ton.
Have you tried fans? I have a couple of these.
I swear by this fan. Bought it 4 years ago and NEVER turn it off. It's a powerhouse.

Last time I researched quality fans the two names that came up were Vornado and Air King. I went with a Vornado 293 that has served me well so far, but I haven't had it long enough to comment on it's BIFL qualifications.
I believe it's targeted more for shop use than residential (sealed motor, comes apart easily for cleaning, etc.) so it might be a bit more resilient than some of their other models. I also find it quiet enough for inside the home, but the color scheme might raise some eyebrows.
One of the best portable phone chargers I have ever used (though its $5 over your limit): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009V5X1CE/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Someone else suggested this same fan (but here is a link for $9.99 instead of $19.95) I used it last year in my tent and it worked great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AVMSEY/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 (thinking about making a swamp cooler with this fan and a styrofoam cooler this year!)

Also if car camping, and will need to run your car at all to charge things, a flexible duct to route exhaust out of your campground is invaluable!: http://www.amazon.com/Dundas-Jafine-BTD48TC-ProFlex-Transition/dp/B0015UGPWQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396231801&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=dryer+vent
> If changing to right handed or left handed only shoes actually improved your game
ABSOLUTELY!!!! If I could choose between the biggest+best arsenal in the universe and a blah pair of shoes, or a 3-ball arsenal and great shoes... I'm taking the great shoes every single time. If you don't have a good footing/platform then you're gonna be on the struggle bus no matter what.
As far as your thumb and hand getting sweaty... get a small portable fan and keep that in your bag. I carry one like this around with me in my backpack and it can make a HUGE difference. Thumb slugs also help a lot with providing a consistent feel/texture from ball to ball.
When I was living in West Africa, I had a little battery powered fan that I set on the mattress facing my head (and if I had had 2 I would have put one at my feet). That would be my first step. Put 2 fans (one top, one bottom) on the mattress facing him (http://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-5-Inch-Portable-Fan-Gray/dp/B001B16VT6?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=small%20battery%20operated%20fan&amp;qid=1464662002&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1) And don't use a top sheet at all. Any barrier will prevent the sweat drying. This is my "evaporate it as fast as possible idea"
The other idea I had is sweat-wicking fabric long sleeved shirts and pants? Not sure if it would help the issue but if it absorbed it instead of the sheets, then you would only have to wash those. Or like lay down a microfiber camping towel? This is the "pick your barrier" method.
The final idea I have is to invest in clinical grade deoderant and slather it on at night. No idea if that would be harmful though.
Full disclosure, I don't have night sweats. I just wanted to brainstorm.
I've used these battery powered fans when it's been really hot while camping. With two set up to circulate air around the tent (it helps to have a large enough tent that there's room to place the fans on the floor), it's been fairly tolerable when the temperature here has been in the upper 70's / low 80's and very humid (25C to 28C). Not sure about much warmer than that - where I live it generally isn't over 82F (28C) at night.
Looks like one of these without the stand.
Fuck that. I'll spend $15 and get the same damn thing.
A 12" device that moves air.
Run it with the side panel off and the fan pointed inside. It is 100% going to fuck up the airflow in your case, but the static pressure of a desk fan is going to be orders of magnitude higher than most case fans, that the sloppy airflow matters a lot less.
I'm assuming you mean something like this:
Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator Fan, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0Gnwxb1PJA3ZG

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I was originally going to go on amazon and get a grow tent. My living situation changed since then which is why it took me a few months to get to this point. I now need a smaller solution which is why I thought about building the grow box. I looked for pre-built ones but anything half-decent is $500+ which is unacceptable for me at the moment.
Regarding the nutrients, I found plenty of "weed specialized" nutrients on the internet, but they are incredibly expensive to ship here and it's just more fluff. I read the same about the "time released" nutrients being no good, I will try to see if I can find that Fox starting soil everyone says is so great at ACE Hardware, and then see if they have non-time delayed nutrients like Dyna-Grow, but I doubt it.
I wrote down what you said about the pot sizes, this is what I've done least amount of research on, will try to get at least 4 plastic 10+ inch pots in the box. I really only want 4 plants max in this, so the biggest 4 pots I can squeeze in there will do.
Regarding the inline fan, I responded to /u/Cuicos above and I think I will get this inline fan instead:
http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-VT-IF-4-B-Variable-Controller/dp/B00E4WKNAM/ref=sr_1_17?s=home-garden&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1464630662&amp;sr=1-17&amp;keywords=exhaust+fan
Using the same ducting technique I described in my post.
I will also have this fan somewhere in the middle of the box or at the bottom where the intake is:
http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I really really can't spend anymore on this box, we're looking at 300 dollars now for the entire setup with the new fans. CFLs would be a good extra for my next grow, if my first grow is successful.
Thanks for all the advice!
Get a good fan. Something like this, though I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives. I don't even live in a noisy environment anymore but I've conditioned myself to sleeping with a fan on. I just turn it toward the wall because I don't want the air blowing directly on me, and let the noise drown out everything else. It's very peaceful once you get used to it.
I have open plastic shelves in my laundry room that I store all of my gear on. I just run one of these smaller fans to keep the air flowing. I run it over night and turn it off in the morning.
https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=pd_bxgy_60_img_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=Q9PXS8DW5E2X3VKM5H8P
Alternatively, a semi-powerful desk fan in front of a fog machine filled with translucent haze fluid works well in a pinch. Directional Honeywell Desk Fan let's you point where things go too.
As mentioned, on many ships there is a retractable line. If there isn't I also recommend getting some heavy duty small magnetic hooks on Amazon (at least 25lbs strength or so probably) and some paracord and use that. The hooks come in super handy for other things too...we hung our key card lanyards on them so they didn't get lost and we'd pass them on the way out reminding us to grab them.
Anyway, no matter where we hung our clothes, they never seemed to dry. So the last time I cruised I brought a small fan in my carry on LIKE THIS . Best decision ever! Worth the spot it took up in my duffel bag. Very light, doesn't weigh much.
I'd aim the fan to where the clothes were hanging overnight, it helped give some nice air circulation in the cabin and also helps drown out hallway noises. We brought a small extension cord to make it easier to aim it where we wanted (in our case into the bathroom) And that was handy as well for the extra outlets to charge phones too. Just a regular extension cord, make sure it does not have a surge protecter.
With the fan the clothes would get dry no prob! You can leave fan on when you leave your cabin as well, just make sure to have a peace of paper or card in the switch by door so your elec doesn't turn off while gone. Our room steward said this was no problem.
Pull the side cover on your case off. Point a fan blowing into the case ( something like this ) Raise your CPU fan to max speed.
Play your games and see if they crash.
If not you know your problem is temp related. If they continue to crash you have another problem.

I'm actually using this right now to try and keep things cool on my desk/hand, as well as a giant tower fan to cool the area. Thankfully the extreme summer heat is coming to an end and won't have to worry about it as much, but then I'll be able to complain about my joints being so cold that it slows down my play! The joys of being an older gamer.

thanks for looking!
Anything will help! Even something like this:

Or just a cheapy fan pointed at them:
https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG/
The Background:
My tentative setup right now has a two gallon reservoir watering a three gallon Smart Pot. I have a 5-10 gal fish tank filter that I've also added an [activated carbon/ammonia neutralizing crystal] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002566YM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) filter and leveled filter to. I let my water set at room temperature (cycling through the filter) for several days before giving it to the plant. The water is exposed to 388 watts (~84,000lm) of warm and cool white LEDs in a Carbon Dioxide rich environment with filtered airflow.
My city water report is as follows, with ideal levels, followed by current city water levels:
I presume the Haloacetic Acids are the chlorine they use in the water treatment.
The Questions:
It's not powerful at all, it's a little $12 fan. The blown air is definitely cooler than the air in the case, the air is simply coming from the direction of the living room.
Open up your computer case and install one of these badboys just outside of it, I just saved you $80.
(But in all seriousness just install some corsair Case fans for about $10 per fan, the AF 120 series is all you need. Here's the Link)
Those three seem like a pretty good start.
I'd also get an internal air circulation fan like this or this, and a fan speed controller for your main ventilation fan so it doesn't always have to be on 100% super loud full blast all day.
Are you growing in soil or hydro? Do you have your nutrients, soil or grow media, and pots or net buckets picked out already too?
https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HT-900-TurboForce-Circulator-Black/dp/B001R1RXUG
My SO sleeps significantly better with a loud fan or white noise. When he travels he uses an app on his phone. I could take the fan or leave it. The fan just simply keeps me from waking up because it drowns out noise. I'm definitely not "addicted" to it or anything like that. My kid doesn't appear to be addicted to it either, but I have a small fan (specifically this one) in her room that travels with her. Its small enough that it travels easily, but loud enough that it works.
Not sure if these are loud enough for you, I wouldn't consider them "quiet" but they last for years even using them every night:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R1RXUG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This is the filter I was gonna buy for flowering. What do you think? I know its probably not the best but its affordable plus delivery to my country :) I hope it will be enough for a very small grow room for 1 or max 2 plants at a time. How does it work really? Do I just put it top of the room and leave it there so as to "circulate" and purify the air inside the grow room?
Do you think a similar fan to this would be enough or shall I buy 2 of them just in case? (I will buy a 250W HPS light so that would make up a bit of heat)
Im not a fan of those clip fans. I have one in my tent and next grow i'll have none. They don't move enough air imo.
this fan is better than almost all the clip fans
I have one of those now and a big boy version of it. Your tent could get away with this and the clip fan.
Most new growers are terrified to cut their plants. It can, most of the time, be beneficial. The plant has a natural response to any type of mutilation that causes it to heal and grow slightly stronger.
for topping, this guide may help. im too lazy atm to do a full write up on how/why/when i top. AVOID MAINLINING IF YOU CARE ABOUT SEED TO HARVEST TIME! that site promotes the shit of mainlining and its silly imo.
I just have this fan in the corner of the tent and run the light at night so it stays cool.
That's very insightful advice for grow tent.
But what do you think for (without tent) solution? I have 2 small windows in my basement. If I put 2 windows fan like these:
Bionaire Twin Reversible Airflow Window Fan with Remote Control https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000065DKJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ds5EAbH7BJ1R4
And a strong large fan at the end of basement ( close to door) like this:
Vornado 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025QKUE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Et5EAb68EK640
Would it work?
Like I said I really wanna find other solution other then the tent IF POSSIBLE.
Considering that I don't have like 100gpus, but only 9 up to 27.
A much better investment would be any regular tower fan or vornado.
So I use this large sieve...
https://www.amazon.com/Winco-SIV-14-Sieves-14-Inch/dp/B003YOXD1W
And this fan...
https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-CR1-0121-06-Large-Whole-Circulator/dp/B0025QKUE8
I have a HG/BM setup and just dump the beans into the sieve then hold the sieve over the fan which I have pointing straight up from the ground. Gently swirling the beans around cools the beans to room temperature in less than a minute. I normally roast 1/2 lb at a time, but I've done up to a lb and the setup still works well. I pretty much have to use it on the back porch or the garage because any chaff that's still with beans will get blown out almost immediately.
You could definitely get away with a less expensive fan, but I found it on sale for $50 and I use around the house for other things when I'm not roasting so win-win.
we had a Vornado 723B (no longer available) substantially similar in design, except all black and without the handle; the Vornado 783 looks like a taller version of 723B
our 723B lasted us about ten years of heavy use during summers, and simply stopped working late last fall — i will attempt to revive it this summer; the feet on 293 are a good idea — ours had just the bare loop of aluminum pipe, so we improvised with foam pipe insulation to reduce vibration on a hard floor; once that was fixed it was pretty quiet; i really like this design because it can be aimed precisely and it is a good use of materials
in comparison, it looks like the replacement model for 723B is the Vornado 660; Sweethome likes it but based on imagery, i think the base may be more prone to breakage and it doesn't look nearly as good (i prefer matte plastic finishes)
we also have a smaller Vornado, plus a small Vorrnado heater-fan, and both have survived 10+ years but with a lighter duty cycle
Certain Dri antiperspirant works wonders. Bring a small personal fan, (link below- Vornado makes a great one, I've had this one for years):

I was a first year elementary teacher last August! I bought a TON of stuff on Amazon. I pulled up all of my old orders...here are some of my favorites that I use daily in my classroom. These are not affiliate links, I just added links for quick wishlist adding for you :)
OH, and as far as things like books, manipulatives, school supplies...WAIT and see what you are provided with, first. Once I got into my classroom, I had a TON of things waiting for me like rulers, glue, a globe...things I probably would have bought, had I had all summer to shop (I got hired a week before school started). I was surprised to learn that my school didn't provide me with supplies like staples or paper clips (I had these things when I student taught elsewhere), so I had to run out and get those. Oh, and an actual stapler and tape dispenser! I forgot about those and when I needed those in the first week, I made a trip to Staples that night!

magnetic holders- these babies are STRONG! I keep supplies in these for math that we use during our daily morning math routines (math manipulatives and stuff). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9JKW9U/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I got a few posters like these for tracking reading points, etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1483832767/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
tension rods- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0070ODWLI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 I use one under my sink to hang spray bottles (febreeze, non-hazardous cleaner, etc.) and one between the air conditioner unit and my wall to hang anchor charts, which I have clipped onto hangers with clips like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017WYF0IS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 Seriously, hang your anchor charts. Find a way to do it and you'll LOVE it, I promise! So much better than laying them flat and having to sort through them when you need a certain one.
sheet protectors- Need cheap whiteboards? Pop a white piece of paper inside and voila. I use 99 cent store 4-pack markers, which have held up surprisingly well, for the kids (the tips also don't seem to "squish" in like the expos, so bonus!) If you're doing something like a math worksheet or handwriting practice, you can insert printed paper for kids to write on...the possibilities are endless here! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IC89/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
pocket charts- I teach first, so it's pocket chart central over here, but even older grades could utilize this awesome schedule pocket chart...plus it's black, I love that it's not blue or red! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/148381467X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 I actually bought a second one of these after I got the first because I liked it so much. Oh, and my black calendar pocket chart...love this, too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1483814696/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
stickers- Kids love stickers. End of story. I bought a ton in bulk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FF2T88C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Fan for my desk - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HI7950/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 Small and powerful!
Birthday prizes and certificates, like these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NNNWSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUF49UO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
my favorite thing, a laminator! I laminate EVERYTHING...charts, nametags, word wall words, game boards, anything. There are different sizes of laminators that you can buy, I just have the standard one that fits normal sized sheets of paper, and it's served me very well! I also buy the refill pouches on Amazon because they are WAY cheaper than at Staples https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012UEXTQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
this is optional, but sticky hands- these make GREAT prizes and the kids love them more than any other prize or incentive I've offered (I teach first grade). I get these ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F4MGO2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I also wanted to add...since I have primary, I wanted to make them "spots" to sit on for carpet time. A carpet wasn't provided to me (you know, the Lakeshore one with colored squares), so I went cheap and bought a few feet of carpet tape from sitspots.com. They have cute actual spots, too, but I was cheap and bought the tape, cut it into 3x3" squares, and slapped those on the classroom carpet. They're holding up great (I'll be able to reuse them next year for sure) and my custodian loves them because it's not actual adhesive tape on the carpet. I just got a new student, so I had to rearrange the spots...they peel up and stick back down PERFECTLY (they're velcro). If you have the need for something like this, I HIGHLY recommend the velcro tape stuff!
OH, and when it came to book boxes and book bins, 99 cent store, dollar tree, big lots are your friends! If you have a little more cash, I got some from Target in the dollar section, too. But, they only have theirs during June I believe (they're super strong, $3 a pop but I'll be able to reuse all of mine next year).
BEST pencil sharpener around is the one from classroomfriendlysupplies.com. It is amazing. PERFECT points every time, and it even gets through those cheap novelty wrapped pencils. I love it. My kids broke the electric one I bought, so I got this one and now just use it myself, although older kids would be able to learn it (I subbed in a 3rd grade class that had one and they used it just fine with some training).
I LOVE folders for things like an unfinished work folder, homework folder, writing folder, etc. The cheapest place I found was Staples...over summer they were selling boxes of 25 for $4. I got a ton of them in different colors. Made color coding easy!
Let me know if you have any questions or need any help navigating your first year. I'm a month away from being done with my first year, and it's still very fresh in my mind how stressful, fun, aggravating, exciting, exhausting, confusing, and rewarding it all is!

That is the one I have. I don't have it pointed on the meat, and it is on low 24/7 and my chamber has been great since. So I'd say your fan would probably not be overkill (from my experience)
I'd say better than nothing but if you have the room, a floor fan would be better since it'll blow on your entire body as well as the Quest. I use one when I play and it's nice and keeps my Quest pretty cool, as compared to sometimes when I have used my Quest in a different room without the fan.
Something like this is what I use:
https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2264QM-Velocity-QuickMount-Black/dp/B004IS6JBY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=high+velocity+floor+fan&qid=1569074998&sr=8-4
Also smaller guys with a bit less air flow if you'd be standing close to where the fan would be:
https://www.amazon.com/Patton-PUF1810C-BM-18-Inch-High-Velocity/dp/B004WT6ZFO/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=high+velocity+floor+fan&qid=1569075074&sr=8-7
if you're looking for a bifl fan you can still buy, I love this thing https://www.amazon.com/Patton-PUF1810C-BM-18-Inch-High-Velocity/dp/B004WT6ZFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501078498&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=patton+fan
I second the vote for a Schumacher unit. I have an older one that continues to work great (someday it will need to have the battery replaced...) I've read that these units can be charged from a 12 volt car source but you have to disconnect it when it gets to "100%" to prevent damage from overcharging. In any event, you'll be able to charge everyone's phones (which take more power than you'd guess...)
Here's a 22 Ah power pack unit at Lowes for $113. Amp-hours (Ah) are the total power the battery can deliver - higher is better. These units will shut off before the internal lead-acid battery is drained so that you don't ruin it.
http://www.lowes.com/pd_595192-41462-XP2260___?Ntt=xp2260&amp;UserSearch=xp2260&amp;productId=50223897
For a fan, I'd recommend one that runs on batteries. I have a couple of 10 inch fans and they'll run for days on batteries.
http://www.amazon.com/O2COOL%C2%AE-10-inch-Portable-Fan-Adapter/dp/B00ATSHMIQ
Large, plug-in, box fans take more power - about 1 amp on "low" and 2 amps on "high". With a 22 Ah battery you'd get 22 hours on low and 11 on high.
If you plan to charge a couple of 2.6 Ah phone batteries, you'll have to cut down the fan usage accordingly.
You can always buy that one and try it out and if not powerful enough return it to amazon. I have one similar to one below, but it requires D batteries and doesn't have usb hookup.

I ordered a bunch of stuff for this year. I went a little amazon crazy.
I stubbed my toe on a tent stake last year so I ordered these glow in the dark tent stakes.
I figured this blow up couch would be a cool addition to our campsite.
I got one of these battery powered fans for my tent.
I ordered a few of these batter powered led lights in different colors for decoration.
I ordered like 4 of these portable fans for our camping group to clip onto their camel packs for the daytime heat.
I ordered this portable battery pack to keep my phone charged.
I ordered a 300 pack of glowsticks 100 for each day.
I ordered these light shooter things. They are fun to play with in the camping grounds.
I ordered one of these anti chafe sticks for my fat legs. It's truly a life saver.
Also I ordered The Watterpuff for obvious reasons.
Angled high speed compact fans should help out. My space has a ceiling fan with the air flow directed downward and a fan/circulator in the corner.
Fwiw - The breeze feel can enhance gameplay when in Skyrim on a mountain top or cliff. Stay cool my friend!
https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-133-Compact-Air-Circulator/dp/B00FGPWJXA
Sort of. I have an in-line duct fan, but it is really loud, and also doesn’t work with speed adjusters, so I’m not using it.
I’ve been trying to keep it simple, with a couple small fans for each tent, but with it getting warmer, I went ahead and ordered a nice ventilation fan to use with some ducting between tents.
Honestly, if Vornado would just make something like this model, but half size, I’d buy several - 133 Compact Air Circulator Fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FGPWJXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_8Y09AbMR5BQ1D
They’d be small enough to work with 4” ducting, and they’d have the Vornado quality. This is the same fan I use inside the tents right now, and they’re great.
That's a Dyson AM06 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I8R4UFS/ref=twister_B00I93ZP2S?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Great little whisper quiet fan, quite pricey but I'm a freak about airflow (I have to sleep with fans on, my wife hates it) and this thing has 10 different levels, which is just amazing.
If you check the photos in my other comments you will see that it's already the first card. Indeed, my last card (MSI Vega 56) is the colder one in the bunch, so maybe I will swapping them.
I also bought 5 Corsair SP120 RGB fans that will be added to the rig frame. Hopefully this will help getting these temperatures down.
Do you think it might be a good idea to use a normal, ground fan to work as an "air circulator" and maybe blow the hot air away from the rig? (right now it's blowing it to a wall that is 12 inches away from the rig, so maybe the hot air is not circulating enough). e.g. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00JE36AQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Clip or stand, your option.
Avalon 6-Inch Clip-On Fan - Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fan, Fully Adjustable Head, Two Quiet Speeds - Ideal For The Home, Office, Dorm, & More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BKZC86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MdqEybCZ2RJXA
There's also a 15$ that is just a clip on.
What about a smaller (maybe 2 of them) clip fans?
Hope this helps.
Super cheap and works amazing
Fan for cheap
One is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJCVQ15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_OHiYDbPG3WA5V
The other is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BKZC86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_EJiYDbYBWBJBQ
Also- You can’t see this in the picture, but I put one of these fans above the Meanwell driver, it blows air straight down to cool it:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009COQYA0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_H3iYDb1HEZ2NP
All the fans work pretty good. The oscillating one is really nice and has more power.
These be them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012BKZC86/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Had to mcguyver the mount a bit (using zipties) but they're excellent.
I just grabbed this fan from Amazon: Genesis 6-Inch Clip-On Fan - Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fan, Fully Adjustable Head, Two Quiet Speeds - Ideal For The Home, Office, Dorm, & More - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01559O0WY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QenBCbYXSPA0S
It is adjustable but doesn't oscillate. I didn't see any smaller clip fans that oscillated, and when I looked at the prepackage grow tent kits places were offering they didn't seem to have oscillating fans either so I'm pretty comfortable with it. I figure I'll just move the fan around to different areas from time to time
Congrats on your great new job!
/u/ElfinPrincessMarlene should be VP of Badass :)
My funniest story is when two straight guys (coworkers) kissed just to make everyone laugh. It was funny because nobody was expecting it.
PC load letter! What the fuck does that mean?
My partner needs a fan that can clip on the shelf near his desk.
The antiskid rubber pad holds it in place firmly. To date it hasn't fallen.
VIVOSUN 6" Portable Desk and Clip On Fan for Grow Tent Room, 2-Speed, Adjustable Tilt, Whisper Quiet Operation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018VKEA6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.0RWAbE23QP66
I have a vornado, something like this: Amazon Link
I'm not sure which size I have (small, med, large), but it is quite powerful. I have it set up right next to my bike and have it aimed at my torso and it works great. If you have the opportunity to open a window or two, it works even better.
I would recommend the Opolar 4 desk fan, you can get it off Amazon for about $12.
It's small enough to fit in a drawer along with the Fleshlight.
I have this fan, works very well:
