contrapunctus ✊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Just tried putting on the 3M 6502QL. First impressions?I like that the top buckles are placed on the head cradle. That makes both fastening and unfastening easier. On the 6000 series, the buckles are so close to the facepiece that it was always a bit awkward to unfasten them.The Quick Latch works well and brings the facepiece down well below my chin. I can doff the mask without removing any head wear (like my hat), and I can eat without risk of getting the mask dirty. In comparison, while you can try the same thing with the 6000 series, in my experience the mask never went below my chin and there was always danger of food going into the mask. And of course, the 6000 series doesn’t offer such an easy one-handed operation.A downside of the Quick Latch design is that the straps somewhat impede your vision. Your point of view in the mask slightly resembles being in the cockpit of a dune buggy. It may be possible to fix this by adjusting the head cradle…I’ll investigate.<a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/respirator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#respirator</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/mask" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mask</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/elastomeric" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elastomeric</a>

One is that I want to pay cash at a brick-and-mortar store, and I don't know of any store near me that sells elastomeric masks. Another is that I'm concerned about whether replacement filters will be available indefinitely, or whether I'll end up with an expensive mask that can't be used because the vendor has gone out of business or discontinued that model of mask. A third concern is comfort, as I find many masks painful to wear.My biggest concern, however, is appearance. I'm fortunate in that I've never been hassled for wearing a mask. I fear that that would change if I wore an elastomeric respirator. Most of them resemble the gas masks used in wars. I don't know anyone here in Washington DC who wears one, and I fear being mistaken for a terrorist if I wear one.Advice?2/?<a href="https://dmv.community/tags/CovidSafeScouts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CovidSafeScouts</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/ElastomericRespirators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElastomericRespirators</a>

A vented mask worked better, and while there are single-use <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/N95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#N95</a> masks with vents, typically the vent is unfiltered and can't be easily retrofitted with a filter.I went a Honeywell/North RU6500M (<a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/FullFaceElastomeric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FullFaceElastomeric</a>) at first because I saw one going cheap … and it's been good, but it is a bulky option, so managed to find a Honeywell 7700 (<a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/HalfFaceElastomeric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HalfFaceElastomeric</a>) which uses the same filters (I have both <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/N95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#N95</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/P2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#P2</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/N100" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#N100</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/P3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#P3</a> filters) but is less vulnerable to scratches.Both I was able to reversibly modify to add an exhaust filter: typically I use disinfectant wipes to wipe down the mask inside and out… and if I fold one of those wipes three times over and cut it to size… it makes a passable exhaust filter.At the moment I'm mostly masking during the winter months when cases are at their worst and the inconvenience is at its lowest. (Yes, I know COVID-19 is not seasonal, however behaviour and the immune system load from seasonal infection in winter months, raises the risks at that time.)

We just got unvented elipse masks and while I like the extra filter space inside for easier breathing, it got condensation really quickly today compared to the vented version. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#covid</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Elastomeric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Elastomeric</a>
