Default NOx/chlorine smell Troubleshoot

I've had the same set up for almost 10 years now. Cricket, 2 oxys, vent hood, 2 foot duct with no bends, open window on the side wall behind me 10ish ft away.

Lately, and only sometimes, I get the bad NOx smell. I'm wondering what would cause it and only sometimes? I really didn't know until my elderly mother said that sometimes she can smell me bleaching my hair. :O I don't bleach my hair!
So that made me pay attention, I've smelled it when I went to bed, I torch at night so it must 'pool' (no pun) in my room? Again, only a couple of times.

Is it that sometimes the wind is still and my makeup air is not enough? But then why only recently. I would blame a fan, but I haven't used one in a while since it's cooler out and I've used one for years before.

For now I bought a roll of galvanized aluminum and made a 'barley box', hopefully that helps, still wondering though why my set up isn't always working. What else do I look into? New vent hood?
