4 Stars Great service
I ordered my item, it was shipped and received about a week later (I did standard ground shipping). No hassle, no worry. The item was well packed and working great on arrival. A very good shopping experience!
5 Stars dont plan on sneaking up on someone
When this is on it is somewhat loud.
If you rely on you stealth attacks in paintball, dont expect them to not hear you coming!
4 Stars Great add on for a JT mask
I don’t know what the difference between the Vortex and Vortex 2 fan system is, but when I picked mine up it was just a “Vortex”.
I love this little fan system and unlike the other review I read I felt that it made an incredible difference. I have an older JT Proteus mask with a thermal lens. By itself it doe alright. But in certain weather conditions or when I’m doing a lot of heavy breathing it can fog up pretty good. When that happens I turn this fan on for a little bit and it clears right up.
The switch is easy to access, just a little joystick sticking out of the visor that can be flipped without hunting around for it all day. Yes it’s noisy, but it’s mostly in the mask and yes, it could impair your hearing others. That’s why I give it a 4 out of 5.
On the other hand, I don’t keep it running all day long, I just turn it on between sessions and in the game if I really need to.
A great little product, easy to clean and well packaged unlike the one I tried to make myself from small computer fans and a 9 volt. Puts the air right where you want it, and you can feel the difference when it’s turned on.
I’ve tried it on several JT masks and found it fit them all well.
3 Stars Functional but not enough to make a real difference
The JT Elite Spectra Proeus Vortex 2 Paintball Fan works, but does not move enough air to really make a diffirence. I used the fan and my goggles still fogged the same as they do without the fan. Another unfortunate side effect is the noise produced by the fan. While it is relatively quiet from a distance, the noise does interfere with your ability to hear opponent movement. Overall, it was a good concept but lacks functionality.
