Fan question...

[TheMetal1]

Anyone have problems running a small 4" (fairly cheap) high velocity fan 24/7 for exhaust? I'm not doing so at the moment, and most likely will only have it on for a max. of 18 hours per day. How long do these things usually take to crap out... and most importantly... what do they do when that happens? Are we talking a small fizzle and no more windy stuff? Or Zzzz't zzzz't something fries and things get melty? :jointsmile:

It brings a tear to my eye when I think of all the people that get help on this forum everyday. Being :stoned: I saw on the manual that it said, "Do not run 24/7." I shouldn't even read that shit anymore. Without this forum I would have probably cut it off for awhile daily. I want to know what actual people have experienced... not what some company puts in a booklet to cover their ass. I've got an environment to sustain!! Thanks again everyone. :thumbsup:
