    For me the placement made more difference than the settings. I moved mine off the nightstand and onto the floor near the foot of the bed, and the air actually reaches me instead of just blowing over the top of my head. In a small room like that it works fine for me, I just had to mess with where it sat for a couple nights.

    Not by a long shot. I’ve had mine sitting behind a bookshelf in a hotel room once and it still grabbed the local channels fine. These things are a lot more forgiving than the old school ones, so a few feet from the window shouldn’t be an issue at all.

    I wouldnt say its redundant exactly. I use mine in a normal wallet with a few cards and its nice having that extra layer even if my passport has its own sleeve. Plus if you ever take the passport out or carry other documents, the card covers those too.

    in reply to: PestVault vs. the old peppermint spray I used to buy? #6387

    I think it just depends on whether you want to mess with reapplying stuff. I travel a lot so the pouch is easier for me to toss in a bag and not think about for a few weeks. The spray worked but I always forgot to bring it along.

    in reply to: Breezi AC worth it for a small office cubicle? #6104

    I picked one up mostly for when I’m working from hotel rooms, but I’ve used it at a desk before too. If you sit close enough and fill it with cold water, you’ll definitely feel it on your face and arms. It’s not going to fix a whole dead zone in the office, but for just your own little spot it does the trick.

    in reply to: Qinux AquaSylk filter replacement cost? #5982

    Filters aren’t too pricey from what I saw, maybe around 20-25 bucks each. I just swap mine when the pressure starts feeling a bit weaker, usually every couple months or so. Not something I stress about.

    Mine came with three sizes in the box, small included. I don’t have tiny ears myself but the small ones seem pretty tiny, so you’ll probably be fine.

    in reply to: BareEarth Grounding Mat leaving a faint mark on my floor? #5586

    I mean, I noticed a little something on my floor too after a while, but it didn’t really bother me. It just kind of blended in after a bit.

    I think people overthink controller size sometimes. They look fine to me and I don’t see why they’d be a problem unless your hands are huge.

    in reply to: Mouth taping at night worth it if I already use a humidifier? #5248
    StanStan
    Member

    I’d probably give the tape a shot just to see if it changes anything, even if the humidifier already helps. Worst case you waste a few strips and find out it’s not for you. I travel a lot and pack both sometimes, but honestly the humidifier does most of the heavy lifting for me.

    I’d probably just leave it plugged in and not overthink it. Most of these sticks are built to handle being powered on most of the time anyway. If the TV cuts power when it’s off, that’s even less to worry about.

    I’d probably just toss it in a duffel bag if I was traveling, so the shape wouldn’t matter much either way.

    I’ve used mine in a hotel room that was pretty humid and honestly it didn’t feel worse to me. Still felt like moving air which is better than nothing. I think if you’re expecting it to work like AC you’ll be disappointed but it does circulate air fine.

    It’s an extender with an access point mode, it’ll work with whatever router you plug it into. Not really a brand thing.

    in reply to: JBL Clip clip size compared to the older model? #3961
    StanStan
    Member

    Honestly I barely noticed the difference when I switched from the Clip 2 to the 5. I just clip it onto my bag strap and it works, never really had trouble with either one. Maybe it matters more if you’re using it on thick jackets or something.

    in reply to: Qinux BlastVul battery life enough for a car wash? #3764
    StanStan
    Member

    I’d guess it’s fine for one car. I’ve used mine on a couple of bikes and a small patio and still had battery left.

    I’ve seen a few people use it at the campsite for rinsing off gear and it seemed to do the job alright. For a car that’s been sitting a while, you’d probably want to soak it first anyway, regardless of what nozzle you’re using.

    in reply to: WineCork Pro battery life after a few months? #3354
    StanStan
    Member

    I travel a lot and take mine on trips, so it gets pretty regular use in hotels and stuff. Haven’t noticed any major battery drain yet, but I do charge it maybe once a week just out of habit. Could be yours just needs a full cycle to calibrate or something.

    I’d probably just grab a decent class 10 card and call it a day—better safe than sorry with an old one that might stutter. I usually pick up a 64GB Sandisk for my travel stuff and it’s been fine so far.

    I gave it a try on a couple of wine glasses I had lying around and it did the job without any issues. I didn’t notice any scratching or skipping, but I didn’t rush through it either. Just kept a steady pace and it came out clean enough for a gift.

    I noticed the same thing a few days in, but honestly it evened out after a week or so for me. Could just be the sensor getting used to your sleep patterns or something.

    in reply to: DappSmile battery not lasting as long as I thought? #2549
    StanStan
    Member

    I’ve been using mine on the go mostly, charging it in hotel rooms and stuff, so I haven’t really paid close attention to how long it lasts. It could be that the strong mode or the LED uses up more juice than the gentle settings, maybe try switching modes and see if that changes anything.

    in reply to: Black Falcon Drone for travel vs something else? #2499
    StanStan
    Member

    I’ve been taking my Black Falcon on trips for a few months now and honestly for quick clips at the airport or random spots it’s been totally fine. The camera isn’t blowing me away but it’s good enough for Instagram and the size means I actually bring it along instead of leaving it at home.

    in reply to: Ryoko Pro works with any SIM or only theirs? #2452

    I just grabbed a local SIM when I was in Thailand and it worked fine, no tweaking needed. Way cheaper than messing with their data packs for a short trip.

    I’ve taken mine on a couple of trips and used it in our vacation home instead of cranking the AC. I haven’t done any exact calculations, but it felt way less wasteful to run it all night.

    in reply to: AiraBreeze placement near a window or not? #2182

    I wouldn’t stress too much about getting it right by the window. I had mine on a nightstand across from the bed and it still moved the air around enough to notice. Not gonna freeze you out or anything but it did the job for me.
