Thanks for the video.
Obviously the Arctic Air Grip Go does not have a passthrough circuit for operation during charging. I wonder why? If it were me, I would be curious, and want to take it apart just to see if it can be modified with a simple passthrough installation (jumper-diode).
I'm not la YouTuber so I was wondering. If someone fast forwards through a video do you still get credit for a view? Thanks.
11:52 are you saying you're not actually sitting outside having it on your chair? ๐ตโ๐ซ
I have something similar but off Amazon and LOVE THEM. loved the first so much I went and got five more and they clip onto stuff, have a ton of different speeds, and it turns itself 180 degrees oh and you can adjust it up or down.
They did great with my newborn, birthday parties, outside events, bedtime fan, and more. After 4 years they are still going strong.
JAMES IS GONNA NEED ALL THESE COOLING DEVICES BECAUSE THIS CHANNEL IS ON FIRE ๐ฅ
James, I've seen the Bell and Howell Socket Fan at Walmart. Is it something you would be able/willing to review?
That go fan is garbage it lasted me about 3 months the charging port melted out of it. Sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldnt
As a reviewer of review channels, I'd have to say your credibility comes into play.
Oh yeah โคnew episode!
That fresh Artic Air.
1500mAh battery in a world where phones have batteries of 5000mAh or more…don't think I'd consider that a selling point if I were them. lol
I got a go fan and it wasn't very powerful. Opened it up and discovered the blade mount was way off-center.
trim your palm
I have that little folding fan from Amazon there's lots of dupes for it I use it at work often
As someone who has spent their whole life being weak to direct sunlight and heat, I've tried every trick in the book and many of these gimmicks in order to stay cooler. This also includes wearing fast-drying, breathable clothing (yes even the fast-drying boxers) at the time. I've done this for a couple decades as I'm an avid fisherman and I mostly fish during the summer when it's hot. I hope what I've learned will help someone else. Breathable shirts are a must. The way evaporation works and the fabric of the shirt being more breathable than cotton; your upper body will cool much more rapidly (if you sweat a lot) because air can get to your skin and the sweat will cool your body faster. This does not apply to breathable socks though. At least for me because I wear boots all the time. What happens with breathable socks is that the sweat cannot be cooled and cannot evaporate well inside a material that does not breathe well. Like boots. Cotton socks will absorb more moisture so your feet won't basically be sitting in a sweaty boot all day. The breathable boxers are adequate but you have to wear shorts in order for air to circulate and even then it's hit or miss depending on how much wind is in the air. Also wear a hat. The wet bandana will counter the fact that your hat does not breathe as it will most likely be made of cotton. Cotton clothing as the only layer will not work very well as cotton absorbs more sweat and that will block more air from getting to your skin where it needs to be. That's why a cotton shirt is a no-go for me. Although cotton works best for your socks when you wear boots because air can't circulate very well inside boots and evaporation cannot function as effectively for breathable socks to be viable. Cotton socks will absorb more of the sweat so your feet won't be swimming in sweat inside your boots like they do with breathable socks. I am not sure how well breathable socks would work in other shoes as I exclusively wear boots because of the places I like to go to fish. I imagine that results would be similar though.
Now on to what you can do to actually cool your body down with extra steps. Hydration. Hydration is a must and if you know you are going to be in the heat for an extended period of time, you HAVE to have LOTS of liquid inside your body BEFORE your body can most efficiently cool you. I measure this by at least 64 oz. (1.89 liters) of liquid (water or Gatorade) in me before I'm going to be in the sun. If you find yourself feeling very thirsty, you have already passed the time when you should have hydrated. You should also continue to hydrate regularly while in the sun even after drinking a lot of liquid. Now this will vary from person to person and I can only say what works for me. The step that really makes a difference (besides hydration) is to have a (or both) wet regular cotton bandana or a cotton bandana filled with crafting beads that absorb water wrapped around your forehead or neck. You don't want a bandana made of breathable material because the water will evaporate more quickly as the air can pass through easier. You can find these types of bandanas on Amazon just look for the ones that you have to soak for a few hours before you use them. In addition, you have to re-wet a regular bandana whenever it gets dry and I keep a pump up spray bottle in my fishing kit for that. It is one of those "olive oil" spray bottles you use the lid to pump up with air and then press the nozzle to spray the liquid. I got an aluminum one off Amazon and use it for this purpose and it has been very durable. Much more than the plastic ones. The bandana with the beads inside will stay wet for much longer and you most likely will not have to re-wet it but you can. This step I have found to be crucial in my efforts to still be able to be on the water in the hottest days. This combined with the preparation of being already hydrated and breathable clothing (where applicable) will most likely insure that you can last for hours in the hot sun. At least it works for me. I sincerely hope this helps someone else out there who suffers in the sun as I do. Cheers and stay cool out there.
I live in England its humid af here just not warm yet. Last year it hit 100 a few times i actually love the heat don't go outside was the advice id still be on my road bike hydrate and sun cream.
Wind! What wind?
Thanks for the upload. I think the best and environment friendly cooling gadget is the sauna: you'll eventually get used to higher temperatures, finding the summer more bearable.
Yesterday I got a 3600mah power bank fan from 5 below for $5.55… yes 3600mah …soooo those fans are rip-off's for sure
Bro how absolutely devastating that the other one doesnโt work while charging. Massive oversight in development.
Keep up the good work. Your my go to guy when Iโm looking into a new product. Can u compare rechargeable robotic vacuums?? PLEASE?? Thereโs so many. From under $100 to over $1,000 !! Thank you for all ur honest videos.
I feel like you need a wig for fan reviews so we can see how much the hair moves. Kinda would help add a visual since we can't feel them ourselves. Lol
I live in an area with ridiculously high humidity so 90% of cooling gadgets are useless here
You should have done a sound test, there's nothing worse than having a fan that sounds like a jet engine several feet from your face.
I fell for this bs in the square fan that you soak a felt like grid in water or freeze and then it goes into a fan. Yes, some what cool for a short short tike. Waste of money. Colossal waste. A glorified fan.
How do you dispose of all the gadgets over the years? landfill? Donate? Gifts?
If itโs advertised on TV itโs junk and actually all these items are for the gullible. Off to the junk drawer!
I really don't think they are meant for breezy days.
Hot still air, but not otherwise
Inside, yes.
You should be trying that neck wrap that circulates water, shade and a hat.
I am a fan of fans… I travel with one, have one at home etc… Loved it!
Artic air i bet you amounts to a scam
You threw that feedback card out prettty quickly for someone who's job literally depends on feedback through comments, likes, and subscriptions lol.
Interesting about the fans though. I like the idea of mist blowing out ๐
Say, you never reviewed BREAD MAKERS ? I am considering that… you should spend a few Gs and buy a few to test out for me! Thx ๐
Could you please use imperical conversions? that would help out the rest of the world alot!
You should try the bell and Howell socket fan
I live in a apartment. Any ideas on a mini washer, and spin to remove excess water
Nice it's rechargeable but check your dollar store & you can use rechargeable batteries
"The packaging was so sharp, I cut myself." Welcome to my world, James lol. Im 62 and when you did the test of the small fan where you put your knuckle in, I thought that would have ripped my knuckle open. Be glad you still have tough skin.
Woah!
