Vortex Extraction Kit - Fan, Filter and Ducting Already Matched
Best for: Growers who want a fan, carbon filter and ducting sized to work together, rather than piecing separate parts together and hoping they match.
Our thoughts
Buying a fan and filter separately means gambling on whether airflow matches filter capacity - too much fan for the filter and you get noise and pressure loss, too little and odour control suffers. This kit already does that matching for you across six duct sizes, so you just pick your size and it's sorted.
The Vortex Extraction Kit pairs a Vortex inline centrifugal duct fan with a matched Mammoth carbon filter, black combi ducting and duct clips, giving you everything needed to remove hot, humid, CO2-depleted air and control odour in one box. It's built for demanding extraction jobs, with notably more airflow and static pressure than budget duct fans of a similar size.
Because the fan and filter are matched by the manufacturer, you don't need to work out compatible CFM ratings yourself - each kit size is designed to run that filter at its proper capacity without starving it of airflow or overloading it with more air than the carbon bed can process.
How it compares
It sits in the mid-to-upper end of the matched fan-and-filter kit market.
- Vs buying a Vortex fan and Mammoth filter separately: this kit already matches filter capacity to fan output, and includes ducting and clips so nothing extra needs sourcing
- Vs RVK duct fan kits: Vortex fans typically deliver higher static pressure and airflow for a similar footprint, useful over longer duct runs or through tighter filters
- Vs Hyper Fan and Rhino Pro Filter combi kits: a genuine alternative in the same matched-kit segment, comparable use case with a different fan and filter pairing
You're paying for the fan and filter being properly matched rather than self-assembled, which is exactly what removes the guesswork.
Usage guidance
Sizing
Match the kit size to your tent or room volume and desired air changes per hour, not just tent width. Oversizing wastes money and adds noise, undersizing leaves odour control short.
Assembly
Follow the fan's marked inlet and outlet arrows when connecting to the filter - whether the fan pulls air through the filter or pushes into it depends on how you're mounting the setup.
Ducting run
Keep duct runs as short and straight as practical. Every bend and extra metre of ducting reduces the airflow you actually get out the other end.
Filter break-in
Expect a mild "new carbon" smell for the first day or two of running. This settles once the carbon has had proper airflow through it.
Technical specifications
- Sizes available: 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", 12"
- Included: Vortex inline fan, matched Mammoth carbon filter, black combi ducting, duct clips
- Fan type: centrifugal inline duct fan
- Approx. airflow: 4" model around 350 m³/h, 5" model around 450 m³/h, higher on larger sizes
- Filter media: activated carbon, capacity matched to fan size
- Ducting: black combi ducting (flexible, plastic-reinforced)
Who this is for
- Growers who want fan, filter and ducting sized to match without doing the maths themselves
- First-time tent growers building a complete extraction setup from scratch
- Anyone upgrading from a basic clip fan to proper active extraction
- Growers scaling from a tent to a small dedicated grow room (8" to 12" sizes)
Our take
The value here is in not having to think about it - fan and filter sizing is already sorted, so you can focus on tent size and airflow needs rather than cross-referencing CFM figures across two different products.
One we sell a lot of for new growers building their first proper extraction setup.
