Been thinking of that or some sortof silicon rubber.

I really hope these do the trick. Of all things that have been improved in growing tech, you’d think someone could build a reliable fan. I hope this is the one.

Same here! For sure they cant suck any worse than the Secret Jardin - at least in my reviews. I’m pretty sure my exhaust fan is Vivosun, and it has been perfect for the long haul. Knock on wood.

Just got the following today, 2 for $70 (seller accepted my offer), only one fits in my grow tent and I can’t use the oscillate function.

I using my fan now and really like it so far. The clip design is working well for my tent which is a 2x2 with small diameter frame poles. I have a new tent (not put up yet) that is larger with larger poles and the fan fits that size equally well.

How long did it last?
When I was putting my Vivosun fan in the tent, it was running and I was adjusting the position. I stopped the oscillation briefly by accident, and heard the internal gear clicking. It continues to oscillate just fine, but I could tell the oscillation gear was a very thin nylon type material which is bound to be a weak link. Hopefully the fan will continue to operate even though the oscillation feature is toasted.
Are you going to return the fan?

I guess @MT3 im gonna end up fabricating a mount and using a different oscillator. Its definetly the little gear inside you can hear it click. Its shocking to me nobody has invented a bulletproof oscillating fan. Might cost a tad more but people would pay it if it lasts. I think it stripped out from slightly rubbing the tent on the fartheat points. It would move again if I moved it but would then quikly stop.

With all the cannabis growing craze going on now, I’m also surprised a company hasn’t stepped up to the plate to offer a better option. Most other tent items are decent quality except the fans.

@DankGunslinger and now it’s dead right?
I just had my fan drop and kill half of my two plants thus 1/4 of my crop…
So I’m thinking about the 2" board idea or if I can find a good chunk of rubber but as it stands the poles are round and the clip fan is flat topped off by the poles are thin. I think I will be tieing a safety line to the fans now just Incase the clip does come loose.
I have been considering hiring someone to replace the failing oscillating parts in the Vivo oscillating clip-ons. They are a great idea, just poorly excuted IMHO.
- The arm holding the actual fan needs to be a little longer, so it sits further away from the corner of the tent (and if it were an adjustable arm that would be awesome)
- The gearing that makes it move has no durability whatsoever
