Be careful, If you leave a fan constantly pointed directly at a seedling to the point that it wobbles you will kill it.

Actually it’s recommended not to use a fan at all when they are seedlings.
Then once your plants get say 6 inches tall you can use an oscillating fan a few feet away.

exactly what he said, try to create a slight breeze and increase it with age, also, dont train the fan directly on the plant and dont put it on high if its close... this will dry the leaves

i got 2 6inch inline fans running almost 24/7, i havnt bought replacement inline fans for 2 years. But if ur referring to oscillating fans then idk, iv bought several replacement oscillating fans this year because they did burn out.
