Glowforge - Best exhaust vent hose for laser cutting

[@helensmith5977]

We just bought the glow forge. We are setting up in an inside room that back wall is shared with the back wall of the garage. Our plan was to just vent into the garage but I’m think we still need to do the inline filter. So trying to decide if we can run the vent up the wall and across the ceiling or if we should run across the back wall to a window on the side wall (front of the house). It would be about 15-20 ft.

Heard a lot about hose, what about the boats?

Sorry, you are using tape wrong. I know you are selling adapters, and they look great and I am sure fit great. But for those that already have an adapter, don't tape it AFTER you connect, tape BEFORE. The simple answer to most of these misfitting hose to coupler is just build up about 1/4" of blue painters tape on the male end of any duct adapter, now slide the hose over the tape and, poof, perfect fit. In many case, don't worry about the clamps, just put enough blue tape on the adapter to it fits super snug. All this talk about gaping is taken care of.
