Cool bro!!! I’m looking for the controller here in my country and I found it for about 5$ will buy the fan this week and wait maybe 2 weeks shipping. I live in apartment for that reason everything is small.

That's definitely a bonus to this model! It's a small minimal design. Not like those metal cased centrifugal fans with an enormous coil in them weighing 3-4X that of this fan .

Yah, the seller or maybe just the store is "Living Wonder". But do whatever Ya want. Make sure you get a VARIABLE speed controller.

Do you know if this work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LODGP2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0MGXCb2HVW502

At my local store the seller said it works but I want to be more sure.

Also i like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB292JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q4GXCb5E1PXES

But 80$ + 20$shipping to my home is a little too much right now! What I like most is energy saving, 50% less than eBay one and apparently quieter.

I'd be lying if I said that will work for sure cause I really don't know.
All I can say is get ANY "VARIABLE" speed controller from eBay or Amazon. You'll have to wire a female plug end to thatch trolled to plug the fan to if it does work the same. I'd reccomend just buying one that's already housed and is a single box. They come with a cord or with the prongs right on the box like the one I showed you.
$10 ones are all over both websites. I was just showing you one i have used and can recommend. The real TRUE way to slow these fans down is with what's called a "Variac". They're about $30-60 but are so quiet and don't create any humming sound whatsoever.

As for the AC Infinity fan. Meh.
It's a good built fan but the fancy controller is just a gimmick.
The more expensive one with the monitor built in that can turn the fan on and off at certain rh and temp %'s is pretty cool. But in a tent you wanna pull air constantly.

Yes, the fancy make it expensive. And the thing is pull air like you said!
I just read about the variacs but they are quite expensive for what I really am going to use.

Im currently using this 4" in my 2x4 tent and it works great. 195 cfm 90W

Just hook it up to a thermostatically controlled outlet, set it to the temp you want, and forget it.

That´s great! how long have you been using it? The only thing I dont like is power consumption, for that I like a lot the AC Infinity T4 only 29W and 205CFM. I´m moving right now and I need to reduce bills at home so next week will see what to buy.

Stay away! Those heavy copper coiled fans shit the bed eventually. And I can PROMISE as I've used 3 different models of those kind, that the black plastic/red blades ones are at Least Half the noise as those centrifugals and run super smoothly.

@HydroRed get these fans if you ever upgrade. They've got my go ahead. You'll be happy you did.

They said the same thing to me.
"No idea when we will receive more".
BOOM!
A week later they had every size. That's why I CAN NOT BELIEVE they're already gone. But it's not too hard to believe when you see how many they've sold.

Yes they´ve sold a lot! I´m thinking about get the Ac infinity t4 without screen it´s 80$ but the save in electricity bill will be great! But if the ebay one stock I think sure will buy one.

I think I got it in like October? Best $29 I've spent in my tent (they raised the price since I bought mine). I dont have any experience with any other 4" so I have no experience with sound compared to others on the market.

Hello friends.! I’m trying to connect a molex fan to my 12v adaptor and I cannot make work :( do you know how to Connect? View attachment 4328693View attachment 4328694
Click to expand...
Just cause that's a molex doesn't mean it's wired to the same pins.
You probably have extra signal wires and stuff you don't need.
Just take the two wires from the plug part, black and red, and connect t those to the other black and reds on the fan. Cut off the Molex obviously. Solder and heatshrink, crimp, or connector it together.
If there's not the sake colors on the fan as the plug, just try touching the wires to each one while it's plugged in until you get it to spin. It's low DC voltage so don't trip out. It won't really be a big deal. Just try not to let the plug wires touch.
But as you're checking, you'll wanna have both wires touching the fans wires to complete the circuit. You'll figure it out.
