2-for-Tuesday: VIOlife Power Banks with USB Fans
- You get two power banks with little fan attachments (that can also run on the USB ports in your laptop or whatever)
- 2600mAh in each power banks can give your phone about a full charge, depending on your phone, or run the fans for eight hours
- If you need to run a personal fan for eight hours, maybe adjust the thermostat or something
- Most of you will get this by Christmas, but we can’t promise it, so don’t make this six-dollar pair of power banks the centerpiece of your holiday
- Model: VBF01H (good news: if you REALLY love these power bank/fans, the model number will fit on a personalized license plate)
Your littlest fan.
You know why you need a power bank: to keep your phone from dying. Duh. Each of these two 2600mAh VIOlife Power Banks contains enough juice, when fully charged, to give your phone a full charge or so, depending on your phone. That’s their biggest selling point and the simplest to explain.
But what about the fan? Why, in the middle of winter, would you need a little USB fan?
Because you don’t always control the thermostat.
Our video auteur @matthew once worked in a bank in St. Louis. Being of hardy, stolid northern stock, he dressed appropriately for winter - which left him dripping sweat all over his teller station when he was outnumbered by his t-shirt-clad, furnace-happy colleagues.
Divorce lawyers call January “divorce month”. We’re sure holiday stress, financial strains, and the gloom of the season play a role. But we’re equally sure that struggles over who controls the climate control have nudged many a thermodynamically incompatible couple toward divorce court.
Along with simply regulating your personal temperature in the face of overzealous central heating, conspicuous use of a personal fan can send a strong passive-aggressive message to the temperature tyrants: I know this looks ridiculous. See what you make me do?
In the interest of public service (and because one weirdo requested it), we’ve brought these VIOlife Power Banks & Personal USB Fans back, to ensure domestic tranquility during the chilly post-Christmas doldrums. Powered not just by these power banks but by any USB port, these little fans could save your job, your marriage, even your sanity. Not bad for a couple bucks’ worth of plastic and wiring.
