Drying for the cheap. Fan + Very Low Heat $10
    #23794875 - 11/02/16 03:23 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)



I was looking at fans in Wally World. All the fans were big donkers and they didn't seem to have any small table top fans. So I saw this small space heater for $10 and thought I would disable the heating element and just use the fan.

I opened the case by the 4 screws that held it together. I saw 4 wires going to the heating element (coil). I snipped the white one thinking I would cut what I thought was the neutral, disabling the whole thing. I put  it back together and tried it out. To my surprise, the unit still produced heat but only at 50% of what it normally would. I must had took out half of the coil. So now it blows warm air!

This is like a poor man's dehydrator. I put a colander on top and threw a thermometer to see just how warm it is. The fans running pretty briskly but the temp is 107*F/42*C. I love saving a penny!

Still, I can imagine...space heaters are nothing to play with, especially when you're tinkering with the internals. I would recommend someone consult someone with electronic knowledge to verify that it's safe.

I can't wait for the day that the heat destroying actives myth dies. So many people worried for nothing.

i used to use a ghetto dehydrator i made with a light and a fan and it never got them quite cracker dry and made them noticeably less potent. i bought a brand new dehydrator at wal mart recently and jeez it makes a difference

I simply cut out part of the coil. So on what was low heat is now no heat. What was high heat is very low warm air.

In other words, on low heat the coil isn't even energized. It's just a fan. Turn the heater up a notch and only half the coil is energized since I took off a lead producing warm air. Browski

besides the fact that it could cause a fire, IMHE i noticed the longer the shrooms are exposed to the air... the more less potent they become. the dehydrator i have now gets them cracker dry in 3-4 hrs.

i promise ive tried several methods of drying and this is the best by far. and relatively cheap as well
