The Cig Rig

The Cig Rig was an invention patented by RJ. Over multiple iterations, RJ perfected a smoke-transferral device which he used to achieve Cigs In The House.

Prototypes
During his sophomore year, while still living the in the John Quincy Adams dormitory, RJ created the first prototype cig-rig to escape the strict nose of his Resident Assistant. By combining a miniature fan, a cardboard box, and some privacy curtains, RJ was able to create a private smokers' lounge that funneled directly out of his window. This design would not be used often, as various miscalculations of the fluid dynamics of Marlboro smoke caused the dormitory room to fill with smoke when the rig was used.

Sunset Rig
Upon moving into a new house his Junior year, RJ was inspired to create a second revision to his invention. By suspending an Industrial Metal Cage Fan from a hook in the ceiling, RJ was able to divert the smoke from his stage area and out a basement window. While considerably more successful than the first model, this model had the downside of being directly underneath Matt and Josh's floor vent. During chain smoking sessions and band practices, the bedroom would often mimic the interior conditions of Bud's Meat Smoker.
