I have had these since I bought the RV and never had a problem.
Same here. Those Cyclone vent caps are supposed to draw the fumes from the tank but it is impossible. The waste tank is a closed system, for fumes to be drawn from the tank it would create a vacuum and that isn't going to happen. The Cyclone is a tax on gullibility.
I have the Cyclone and it works. I had smells in the RV when driving down the road. After installing the new vents the oders went away. The closed system wouldn't need a vent if there were no gases created. The cyclone doesn't suck the gases out, it just directs them away.
And... I can tell which way the wind is blowing.... :C
