mystic_roots Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So I'm looking to upgrade my fan as it doesn't have a speed controller and I think it's one of the main culprits for drying my weed to fast but I'm torn between which to go for. I only have a cheap 4" RAM one which was like £32 so I think it's time to upgrade so I guess it would be best to stick with 4" due to the ducting and my carboair filter size. Secret Jardin DF16E350 - £109.99 4" Rhino Ultra Digital EC Fan 100mm - £79.95 4" Ac Infinity Cloudline S4 EC Fan - £114.95 I do like the look of the AC Infinity but is it really worth that tag? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb & Flustered Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Can't comment on the Rhino but the infinity fans are top notch. I got the 6" so I could run it low & I rarely have it above No2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catweazle1 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I have the infinity T8, which looks the same as the S series and it is as quiet as you like. The thing with ec fans is that you can do everything you want with this type of fan: 24/7 running slow - no problem; intermittent running - no problem. You can just turn it on and just use the fan speed button. I've only had mine a little while, so it's not doing any monitoring/controlling duties yet. The control panel is still new to me but it looks straightforward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb & Flustered Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) I'm seriously thinking about getting the controller now & I'm blaming you @catweazle1 Edited May 30, 2023 by Rhubarb & Flustered 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I plan on buying a second fan with another controller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb & Flustered Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Just now, Military Grade said: I plan on buying a second fan with another controller You're the reason I paid silly money for the oscillating fan, time will tell if it was worth the extra or not, the rate we end up going through the cheaper ones it should be. I'm tempted to build myself a bigger box and get another light, the weed itself isn't addictive but the constant buying and upgrading of grow tools certainly fucking is. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 @Rhubarb & Flustered You're not wrong there mate, and buying Seeds I've got the S4 with the Bluetooth 69 Controller, but want to get another S4 with a WiFi 69 Controller and use the WiFi version for my current big tent, then use the Bluetooth one for my new litte tent 40x40x120 £19.99 delivered 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbloke Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 That's a steal for the 400. Just checked back & my 400x1000 was £43 two years ago. Good find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe aci state their minimum spl and rhino state the maximum? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 My AC S4 on minimum is definitely a lot quieter than 28db 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) 28db is equivalent to a whisper. Edited May 31, 2023 by MindSoup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person whispering is 10-20db, and the way dB works is it don't go up in a linear level meaning that extra 8db is a lot Mine is silent on level 1 Maybe that dB reading of 28 is at half speed Edited May 31, 2023 by Military Grade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like you say, the DBs work 28 is quite a bit quieter than a whisper. Edited May 31, 2023 by MindSoup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
