this might help you. i posted a few pictures in that thread to help. the mask in the pictures was an old JT Alpha i think. i've also put them in a JT Spectra, a couple Profiler's, and an X-ray Echo. they work GREAT! the only difference now is that i don't use zip ties, i use a super duper epoxy and i cut away the parts right under the fans for better flow. sometimes putting a little tape around the fan acts as a shroud to help air flow. i wear glasses and sweat. i don't think i could play and have a good time without my fans. here's the link: Possible to make a mask fan - Special Ops Forum

| Re: Mask Fans: Are they worth it? Blitz, here is the link that I used to do mine. Fan(s) mod for V-Force profiler Insted of using two fans I used only one. I ended up mounting the 9V on the outside of my mask underneath the goggle strap. I'll try to get pics up today time permitting. |

| Re: Mask Fans: Are they worth it? here are the pics the mask P6050001.JPG the 17mm fan zip tied to the center of the goggle shelf P6050002.JPG wiring back to the switch P6050003.JPG wiring from the switch to the battery P6050004.JPG the battery on the outside of the mask underneath the goggle strap P6050005.JPG Note this type of fan is power biased i.e. if you hook up the power incorrectly you blow the fan motor. At least it was for me, and I had a second fan to work with. Since the fan is a 5v fan I used a resistor inline with the positive lead to drop the 9v to 5v. Hope this helps. |

Nice post thanks. I just bought the 9v connectors. I have 10 extras if anyone is doing this. |

| Re: Mask Fans: Are they worth it? have a flex 8 with jt fan is awesome i only need to turn it on for a few seconds every time it gets misty and clears it perfectly best money i've spent in paintball probably also the fact the mask was so much better than the cheap one i used to have |
