[@ellisonbayan3700]

Can we add: "Don't: crack your fan too often." Once in a while is fine, but if it's too often, it can make it harder to enjoy the music.

[@clamberthjr]

Really? Raves are so loud you can feel the music in your bones... If you can hear a fan opening, lol you are probably in a library.

[@zidaynio]

Chris Lamb so your telling me you can’t hear people around you talking at raves? Yes you can hear people doing this shit at shows in its so lame

how do you learn martial arts fan?

[@sousalarson6858]

@@elaxiber2328 I train with a Wushu school, and fan is one of my specialties. Fan is a common weapon in tai chi but a less so in Wushu, so I kinda have the luxury of making up my own things. Last year I created a double fan form!

One rule: don’t crack/clack you fan

[@user10238]

Yeah it can break like that

[@Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenber_22]

I remember my grade 8 days. I use to crack a fan anytime coz i think like im a savage gay and a rich doña LOL. And i use my fan for self-defense too. Like if someone is teasing me, I'll gonna strike you suddenly 😂😂😂

[@jaidiamondz]

3:29 I laughed so hard. I can picture someone doing that so randomly

[@Moth_skull13]

Ya thats me

[@bowdawgg]

How about just not cracking the fan to the beat. It'sactually the opposite of good etiquette because it's rude, narcissistic, and annoying. Yes cooling yourself & others off, cracking it on beat to open it when you first take it out, but not to the entire song or entire drop. People want to hear music not to hear you play with your fans.

[@isthatjustin]

or just dont use the fan to make noise period!

[@acidhead2232]

You are a unfun person w8th no friends

[@tinayangsta]

Just purchase my 1st fan and very excited to use it. Thank u so much!!!!

[@FatBoyDoug]

Amazing! Which fan did you get?

[@AFGO9410]

Bamboo for sure! There are metal fans too but those are pretty much a weapon 😆 I always bring my fans to the parties and people always appreciate the fanning haha... I recently discovered there’s an option to get fans delivered every month through a subscription service, isn’t that cool? 😝

[@FatBoyDoug]

OMG a subscription fan service!? Amazing!! And I have a metal fan! it's SOO heavy and absolutely dangerous. DO NOT bring it to any parties!! hahaha.

[@plieu625]

Metal is ok if you're Kitana

[@AFGO9410]

[@denkikaminari5316]

Do you know what its called?

[@nashcameronn]

Idc even if it’s to the beat it’s still annoying

[@nanofamous]

I seriously cannot believe this is a thing so much that an etiquette video was made. For reals, wgaf. Stop all ya clackin'.

[@oceanairboy]

DON'T WACK THE FANS!!! We go to hear the DJ spin their music. It would be as rude as doing it at a concert when you're going to see and HEAR someone perform. Stop interrupting the artist. It's rude to them and everyone around you who are actually fans of the artists and not just there to party.

[@sparkplug3128]

Bamboo/ nylon amazon disco is my first fan but i look forward to upgrading.

[@christopherjason4297]

Cracking fans ... the most annoying thing that happened at ultra !! Especially when it happens at the resistance stages !

[@Shepfax]

I just got my first couple of bamboo fans at pride and was so curious as to why gays are so drawn to them. Then I clacked it. LMAO it's so satisfying

I have a big blue iridescent plastic fan i like to show off to my friends that my mom bought me and i have a small butterfly plastic fan i refer to as my personal fan its not ideal for big groups like the big one my mom got me and i sometimes use it in at home or more quiet areas to cool off and not b very noticeable

[@jazminlasvegasnv3950]

I think I have an obsession with fans imma start collecting them

[@noypoll]

Is there anything to do in cases when the end of the screw breaks?

[@aubreyackermann8432]

I'd think that if the housing isn't damaged, you can get the remnants of the screw out and bring those as well as the fan to your local hardware store. They should be able to match it.

[@Thanks4AllTheFunTimes1221]

Came for clacking a fan to clack back @ KD next Frightfest, stayed for the overall awesome video!

[@concentriccultivationtaich1663]

Hey y'all I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fan I can buy that doesn't make the clack sound when opened. I know that it's unlikely to find a clackless fan because that's just how they work. But I want to play with a fan at raves without bothering anyone with the sound

[@Eric-uq4ny]

DO NOT CRACK A FAN AT A RAVE IN GENERAL! It’s not meant to be cracked. Yea it looks cool but trust me nobody around you wants to hear it Bc it gets in the way of the music. Especially the people in the back

[@Broken_Princess_H]

I have a smaller fan so I don't have to worry about hitting other people... small hand problems. (P.S. Asian Market has some great fans that last for quite a while!)

[@YouSungHorang]

Hey great vid! I was wondering if you put any fragrance/perfume on the fan to not only fan people, but also spread good smells to feel even better? And if you do, which fragrance/perfume do you recommend?

[@FatBoyDoug]

Daniel Kim I’m not a big fan of putting fragrance on the fan. I have an incredibly sensitive nose so overpowering smells don’t sit well with me. But if you are going to put something, I would suggest just a touch of menthol. It’s a very neutral and soothing smell :) no colognes or perfumes because different scents can annoy people

[@MikeBoo]

I liked putting small amounts of vicks on the edge of my fans, but be sure not to over due it since it does affect the material, adds extra weight, and just sometimes a little is too much for some folk!

[@Gaming_Boy910]

Thank you for helping me learn how to use a fan now I know how

[@LifeLostSoul]

Lol I know how to use a fan. But I can't even clap my hands to a beat. I pretty much only let my fans clap at Pride and drag shows thought so I don't think anyone is going to have a problem.

[@victorialuevano5600]

If you're at a festival or a show (depending how big the venue is) and super pressed about people clacking fans or using whistles then you're not vibing enough. They also spent money to be there and as long as they're not causing you physical harm then mind your own

[@TheTacticalMOAB]

So we can’t be annoyed by things other people are doing? I don’t know a single person who isn’t annoyed with the fan clacking at a show.

I found this while searching for stuff about historical men fans

[@ALovelyBunny]

I got yelled at by some random guy the last rave I went to because I accidentally dropped the fam. Someone had ran into me and it fell onto the ground. I didn’t pay him much attention because I don’t take well to someone rudely telling me what to do but he said something along the lines of “don’t you ever drop your f-cking fan” does anyone know why he got so mad? Like is there some kind of etiquette I missed? I would never drop it on purpose as it’s so pretty and would easily get dirty but why was he so upset I dropped it?

[@Zhiar]

You’re worrying too much sweetie.

[@FatBoyDoug]

Do you bring fans to your raves/parties? Do you like bamboo fans or plastic fans? Let me know in the comments!

[@eshve]

Bamboo all the way! Once a fan is drenched in sweat (it happens often!) and therefore harder to fan, there's additional stress on the fan's ribs - at which point plastic just snaps while bamboo seems to absorb some of the moisture making is flex a little instead of breaking.

[@FatBoyDoug]

Great insight!

Anyway this was like third or first grade I don’t remember maybe even kindergarten but I got this really pretty pink fan with gold designs and I don’t remember if it was an actual traditional fan or a dollar store one but I loved it so much that I brought it to school. She took it forcefully out of my hands without my consent I was like hesitant to give it to her cause I knew how she was but I couldn’t speak up for myself and she broke it. Everyone got so mad at her because they knew how much I liked my fan and she said sorry to me and I just looked at it sadly and said “oh it’s okay.” It was not okay I’m still mad 😀 anyway my mom said “wow great job and good idea to bring it to school wasn’t it”
