(Literally called and asked if I was home- I'm thinking he needs to see something and will swing by - But he says "Good, I'm in the driveway" - lol). Now he did say I didn't have to keep it, but said his supplier guy agreed, followed by the Amazon line - lol.

Tony, I want to say its 370 cfm? That should turn the room over in under 4 minutes and 99% of the time its just going to be me having a cigar in there.

So right about the same size as what I have and I did that math too. I just wanted to tell you that mine doesn't suck the smoke right outta my mouth or anything and you're probably going to immediately be unimpressed and wishing you went bigger. I wanted to go big enough to be effective and not pull the hat off my head but like I said I still leave it run some afterwards and supplement with a scrubber. Just don't want you thinking this will be magic or anything - smoke and smell do take a bit to clear.

Totally understood and appreciated.

I don't think there is a "right" answer; its more of a personal preference rooted to the size of the room and number of smokers.

Can't wait to see how it turns out - especially that walk in !

Figured I owe an update -

The dual 370cfm fantech is installed in the configuration shown below

It's quiet, but not "silent". You really dont hear fan-noise, but rather a hollow sound most likely from the metal box enclosure the fan grilles mount into. Thats if you're sitting in silence listening for it. Just having a conversation puts in the background. Watching TV will be no problem.

Like Tony said before, this doesnt cause a vortex pulling all your smoke out instantly. It keeps things steady while I smoke and evacuates the room on the timer afterwards. For @Nature scenario of 4 guys herfing, it wouldn't stand a chance. But for my solo use intent, it'll work.

Flooring installed, lighting installed, fans installed.

Still need to furnish it and kick around extras, but right now a lawn chair works - lol

Exactly. For 1 or 2 guys it will keep up but would be a struggle with 4. Not a problem for me as I only ever smoke alone in here.
I can barley hear mine running with the TV off, not at all with the TV on.

That lawn chair needs to be replaced though - not befitting of baller status !
Thanks for the update - we're going to need some picture when the new leather comes in ....

Perfect! Add a couple upside-down 5 gallon buckets and a banana crate and you're good to go!
Scrounge up a hunk of 2x12 and a couple cinder blocks and you could have a coffee table too :p

Lil bit of History.

Those large wire reels were ships sailed by grade school kids (boys only) of course on the Oceans in the meadowlands of North jersey. Epic battles waged by rival pirate ships.The water was kinda brownish and smelled a bit funny.The Oceans were Located near a factory. May have been some run off from the plastic production. Polution hadn't been invented back then. Anyway none of the boys turned blue or orange.

No no ill effects noted even after 70-72 Years.
I think it's proof of the old Du Pont slogan "Better living through chemistry.'
