The most important of all your senses in a paintball
game is irrefutably the sense of sight. And any one might
agree that somewhere, while in the middle of the game’s
intensity, suddenly the paintball mask starts to fog. The next thing
you know you're being hit by the adversary. Maintaining a clear view while
in the game can be best resolved by preventing fog from forming on
the lens – and having a paintball mask fan might just be the solution to
this.
There are several options that a player can go for in order to prevent
fog from forming in the lens of the mask, and one very important thing
professional players do not miss is having thermal lenses. But what if you
simply want to play the game for recreational purposes and do not have
enough budget to get those expensive head gear. Then perhaps
getting a paintball mask fan is best.
Making A Simple Paintball Mask Fan
If you are over your budget but still want to get the
best out of everything you can find at home, and at the local stores,
then go for a paintball mask fan. All you would need is a good deal of
light weight fans, which you can snatch from various paintball stores,
computer shops and other electronic stores. You would also need some
wire, a small switch, some bread ties and tough electrical tape.
To make a successful paintball mask fan, it is necessary that you take
thorough measurements of the inside of your mask; this will guarantee that
you know where to place the fan such that your movements in the game will
not damage them. Next is to strip the end of the fan off the connector
while leaving a bare strip on both the black and the red wires. As for the
batteries, always make sure that they are in series, and for additional
power to the paintball mask fan, you can add as many as four batteries.
Use the electrical tape to securely attach them together, and lastly put
the red and black wires in place.
The last part is attaching the fan to your mask; it is wise that they
are placed opposing each other, as the extra weight might be a hassle in
the field. The switch is better off hanging for easier access.
You can use Velcro tape in order to securely attach them, and at the same
time you can easily detach them when necessary.
