cooling fans & fogging

I tried to mount a 1" fan on mine and could not find a spot. You could go with a Morph, there is room for a 1" square fan on there. I ended up not needing it, but clearly it would help you.

Have you been taking care of your lenses properly. It says to use only warm water or Vforce anti-fog solution. And it states to pat it with a wet cloth.

[Hexis]

Even the VForce lenses will fog up in a very high humidity enviorment. I have seen it myself. They are better than anything else I has used, but they are not 100% perfectly fog free in all weather.

Well I live here in florida and its really humid here. But I have Morphs so the lense is farther from my face and the Profiler has less holes in the face mask. But hey replacement lenses are fairly cheap.

Yup. That's exactly what I've been doing. I bring quite the pile of soft cloth rags with me whenever I play and I'm pretty anal about keeping my lenses properly cleaned.

Hexis, where do you find a 1" fan? I called about 30 different computer places last weekend and they all had no idea where to get one, but I know they're out there somewhere.

Has your hair or any bit or a headband or hat been in your way like in front of your eyes or anything? Since I have long hair I have to keep it back. Even if a tiny bit is infront of my eyes it will fog up. Make sure the "connection" between your head and the mask or not letting outside air in. It makes my invisions fog up. Maybe this is your problem as well.

Want a small fan?

Try one of these.

The SMALLEST fan in that catalog is only a little over a half inch!!

Or, maybe a blower would be better.

I know what you mean, I've had that in the past with other masks, but my hair is pretty short these days and I wear a snug fitting head rag when I play,s o there's nothing blocking the vents I even took off the little tiara thingy to get more air movement. On a humid day, I've still had to go back to my old JT in order to see clearly. Hopefully something was just wrong with the coating on the original lens and the new one will work better.
If not, then I'll look into one of the fans from that link that Slarty provided.

Slarty, thanks for the link.
Know anywhere local (Canada) that sells those fans? I looked around their site a bit but didn't see anything. I'll keep hunting though.

Just found them by Googling. They're a taiwanese manufacturer, so you probably can't order direct.

E-mail their sales department and they'll probably get back to you with a list of distributers and retailers.

I put 2cpu fans(5V) wired in series(10V) to the top of my Spectra and powered them with one 9V. It works great for keeping my glasses that I wear under my mask defogged. Plus the battery lasts longer and the fans are smaller.
