You the man...you're practically the only one on yt giving out good info...I picked up a msa millenium last weekend for 40 bucks at my local surplus store
Cheers, there are other good channels regarding this, found some from a doctors channel who just calmly explained the family of viruses, incubation periods etc. Some other channels from China or people who lived in China talking about how the CCoC operates, what the real numbers may be etc.
You've been super helpful over the last couple of days, I remember browsing the internet at ~2 AM looking for suitable respirators/masks to no avail. Then I saw you uploaded your respirator video 30 minutes ago, which to my relief, explained everything I needed to know. Thanks again for all your help, you could well be a lifesaver for a lot of people!
N means non-oil particles for 8 hours R means non-oil and oil based particles for 8 hours P means both for 40 hours or 30-days whichever comes first 95 is 95% down to 0.3 microns 97 is 97% to 0.3 microns 99 is 99% to 0.3 microns 100 is 99.9 percent to 0.3 microns

95 means 95% or more coverage for the droplets that are 0.3 microns. 0.3 microns are the most difficult droplets to ward off. These masks fend off microns less and more than 0.3 microns better than they fend off 0.3 microns. Either way they still fend off greater than 95% of the nasty 0.3 micron droplets.
Great video. You’re doing the positive pressure test wrong though, you’re supposed to breathe out lightly not pop your eardrums hard. Watch the 3M videos on youtube on it. “3M 6500”. The idea is to make the mask become slightly pressurized to check for any air leaks. If you blow out hard like that you’re just making a giant leak and who knows how it’s resetting. Great video though dude. Subscribed!
Very informative without any bullshit Very straight to the point Thank you I hope I don't need this info in the near future May none of us need real use for this info
I got a 3M fullface, it's great. A thought occurs; the exhalation is direct, meaning if you have the virus and breathe out while wearing the fullface mask, those around you will inhale that moist air leaving the mask. Since we can't know if we contracted it despite our best efforts behind a mask, it behooves us to come up with an exhalation filter of sorts, to catch the exhaled droplets.
I covered this in another video but you could always put some cloth or tissue over the exhale valve, should catch some of the moisture leaving the mask.
If you need to wear a mask for an extended period of time, I recommend using a mobile CPAP-Machine with a ResMed F30 mask and a HEPA filter. It makes breathing much easier and you can wear separate protective eye glasses, which are available with prescription glasses inserts.
In my experience, "one size fits all" means that the mask is the equivalent of a medium size of other masks, and will have a suboptimal fit for those with large or small faces. I'd personally recommend trying the small, medium and large sizes of cheap 3M masks (or whatever brand is available) to get a rough estimate for your face size, and avoiding buying "one size fits all" masks if the medium size is too small or too large for you.
I an Studied virologist (Molecular biology) and from what i can Tell you is, that the Main Risk seems to be Handled By your mask but you need also proper protection for your complete skin and eyes. Complete desinfection etc.
For those who use reusable full or half masks and goggles. MSA makes a solutuon called Confidence Plus. Its a concentrate that makes up to 32 gallons. Its used to decontaminate masks and goggles by dunking in warm water with concentrate. It is effective for salmonella, HIV, influenza, etc...It is relatively cheap and available online.
Great video, how often do you need to clean the inside of the half face respirator? And how? Not the filters, but the interior surface that you’re breathing into.
One thing to note that p100 filters and n95 mask can only filter particulates up to 0.3 microns and larger the Corona virus size range from 0.14 to 0.03 micros, meaning is less that half the size of those filters. However, I guess it would be efficient in filtering airborne droplets. Would really like your input in this....
Are the Chinese 3M 6800 Full face respirators clones any good? I'm on a tight budget, but I would prefer to get a full face mask vs like a 3M 5000, 6000, 7000 series mask.
@@falloutboy3223 Saw a previous video of his last night, from a few years back of him reviewing one of these clones. A 40MM Nato canister fed one. He gave it the seal of approval and was surprised how well it was made.
The most important thing is not touching your face. People usually gets infected when they rub their eyes or when they put their fingers inside their nostrils. It might be great if you use something that covers your whole face.(such things like gas masks)
In Israel, most of the population has a gas mask (due to chemical and biological weapons may be even atomic). Before the civil war in Syria, the army asked every few years to refresh the mask by gathering them and give up new ones. For the past 8 years, the government stops this procedure because they believe that Syria no longer has substantial unconventional weapons. Do you think those masks are still good/useable?
You are completely right man, any virus that can come in through sinus membranes can be stopped with something like goggles instead of a full face mask. I had to do a bunch of training to deal with Ebola in Africa and this is an equivalent type of situation.
I bought some non brand name masks, but I'm stuck on what kind of filter to get. Sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm new to this lol. I know it has to be a p3 40mm filter but I see all these brand names on them like Honeywell, Dräger, MSA, 3M, Scott, etc. and I don't know if those filters only go with their own masks or if they are universal as long as they're 40mm? The info for the masks I bought said it needs 40mm filters btw. Thanks for the videos btw great information.
All of those brands are good, get the cheapest ones (as long as the source is legit). Expired ones are just fine for particulate protection purposes too.
.... What filter for the 3M 6,000 series for virus. Have 3m on phone for second time, got the wrong answer so am calling back. Long wait. It fits the square type filter not the round. Thank you in advance.
With the 3M mask you can do a negative check with those specific filters by pressing against the outside. There is a good 3M training video here on RUclips,
I have seen filters # 1, #3, #7 and colors yellow, white, multi color. You know which one will work for viruses. they also organic, inorganic and others. Thanks.....
On Mira Safety’s website they mention that their p3r filers are only one time use. Once they come into contact with live agents they are considered toxic waste. Is it Mira just being overly cautious due to perhaps something like liability reasons?
P100 = 99.97 % of protection against 0.3 micron or 300 nm particules size. The only problem is that the size of the coronavirus is 60 to 140 nm. When I've contacted the 3M technicien and mentionned that fact, he had nothing to say. What's your tought on that ?
@@Weaponsandstuff93 Much better! I ordered a Gas mask one day too late. It won't arrive until the 22nd of NEXT month. Lucky for me though, I got the canisters. I'll just loot my mask of a dead person, Obviously after decontamination. Also would it be bad for you to do a video on homemade/built Gas masks? Cheers!
I have five people to protect so spending large $$ on a maybe is out of the question. I have m61s and sealed nbc filters for everyone to protect in the event of train derailments nearby (we have had 5 in the past ten yers). Recently ordered Gerson p95 half face respirators for everyone at $13 each. I have one I use at work and it works well remidiating paint fumes. Also considering picking up some basic n95 paper masks and cutting to fit inside over the existing prefilter.
Sounds good, if you have NBC filters they have a particle filter in the front, so last way longer for viral and fallout hazards than the charcoal not expiring for vapour threats.
A nearby shop sells a 3m 6000 series halfmask respirator (description is pretty vague, doesn't specify the exact model), and a GVS Elipse halfmask respirator. Would either of these respirators protect me from corona virus? And if so, which one is better? They also have 3m p3r 5935 particulate filters. Will these do the job? I'm also wondering what kind of goggles and gloves to get. Most of the goggles I see have holes in them for ventilation, which I don't imagine would be much good with a virus.
Question , if I have a 3m half mask reusable mask can or should I just wear the p100 or N100 filter disk or should I use it in conjunction with the vapor and organic chemical filter that has the plastic overlay with pre filter p100 ? The reason I ask is if I were to just use the p/n 100 disk filter as a stand alone it was be just an exposed fabric filter and I wonder if then the filter itself would be contaminated with virus and therefore I would want to avoid self contamination by touching the filter and using it daily for essential outings . Thanks !
Sneezing and coughing in the elbow is important. If you do it in your hands you can spread the flu, cold, ect if you use tissue throw it in a trash can with a lid
Best half face and full face masks (civvie ones) in my opinion are the Sundstrom masks, SR100 half face or SR200 full face. Can I ask what the full face mask is? Looks like a copy of a scott vision/arco filtermax
I wonder how long those filters can last if we consider i need to use the mask 7h a day, 5 days in a week (i work in a health care departmebt in a medical center)
6 give or take months, OR as long as you can breathe through them, though you would have to keep them in the sun for a couple of hours make sure moisture gets out, and most viruses are gone dead. Probably having two sets of filters to leave some in the sun while you're away, or under some light anyway....
Question? How well do 3m 6000 serious vapor cartridges hold up in rain, mist or inclement weather... otherwise moisture I would imagine the "pancake" style particulate filters don't hold up so well as the vapor cartridges are more or less contained in a ..well cartridge, V.s. the disk's witch seam to be mostly "fabric". Also how would one deal with extreme moisture situations if the vapor cartridges are rendered ineffective
Are the P100 plastic case filters hard to breathe in (with a 7000 series mask)? Supposing you had to wear the mask for 2 - 4 hours straight.. Is it significantly harder to breath in P100 than in N95 cartridge filters with that mask?
If you want cheap alcohol for decontamination, look for the 98% to 100% ethanol (or bio-ethanol) sold in hardware stores as fuel for BBQs, lanterns, camping stoves, etc. Keep in mind it usually contains some bitrex to make it undrinkable. Take great care to not have any ignition source nearby when you spray alcohol, as alcohol mist is highly explosive. In my experience you can wear glasses under many full-face masks and still get a good seal, provided the temples are thin and flexible.
Not a wise choice since higher concentrations of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol evaporate too quickly to be able to disinfect surfaces against bacteria and viruses. Opt for 70%.
I already have a half face mask but I'd also like to get an s10, and the cheapest I can find are around £70-80. Is that worth it or should I just wait for the prices to drop when the virus eventually dies down?
S10 masks have been going up in price for ages, some people blame me lol for recommending them for years but it's really just because the surplus is drying up more and more, as the British army stopped using them about a decade ago and Avon stopped production around that time.
@@justink-kh3ps Running into the same issue, haven't been able to find 40mm P100 filters from US online sellers. There is a UK seller selling Scott PF10 P3 40mm filters at $23.38 (s&h included in price). www.ebay.com/itm/Scott-Pro-2000-SPF-Sari-Filter-PF10-P3-EC251RSc-Fit-Ganze-Vorderseite-Maske-/182412559665 The next best thing would be to find 40mm NATO NBC or ABEK P3 filters. Even if they're expired as long as they haven't been expired for too long (like over 10 years), are still sealed and in good conditions the particle portion of the filter should still work fine (just make sure it's P100/3 rated).

Thanks, sir. I heard you say that the 3M P3/P100 canister filters will need replaced after maybe a day of use (due to moisture from breathing), but I’m wondering how long they would be fine just sitting out (ready to be put on, after being fitted). I believe you stated that particulate filters should be fine indefinitely if they’re just sitting out? Those cartridge filters from 3M that are P100 are the “particulate filters” that you are talking about, correct? Thanks again, sir. PS I’m not talking about the pink pad-looking P100 filters but the ones that kind of look like the one on your mask in this video.
Armed ASMR Think so. The later that we’re concerned with for viruses is the particulate filter which won’t clog left sitting out unlike the charcoal that will be useless after a day left out I believe. Unless there’s a surprise chemical gas attack, lol, you should be fine reusing the P3 filters on your mask till breathing is tough.
Nope it's the Particle dust masks that you can only use for like a day, with cased filters the exhaled breath goes out the exhale valve so doesn't make the filter dank.
can you reuse the 7093 hardcase filters？The hardcase is bulletproof but the birus is airborne so it'll be blocked by the filter itself. You can disinfect the exterior but the filter itself is still contaminated. Does this mean you're cheating yourself?
Any thoughts on when the face mask (i.e. on the 3m masks) has an expiratory valve that opens to the atmosphere? From my reading it seems like there are some studies that show that the viral particles do not make their way through that valve but definitely feels a little risky as I'm currently in COVID hospitals and attending to these patients.
I'm only having an 3M ADD 6003 organic vapour acid cartridges, I'm think of making this a combination filter with a 5N11 particulate filter. Can someone tell me is this enough. There are no other filters in my area. And coronavirus is declared in my country.
I have a safety works half-face respirator, p100 filter rating. When I wear it, it smells kind of strange, and it's not the rubber. Just asking if this is normal.
I got a M3 6200, in one of your videos you buyed one very similar and said that is fake. The one you showed, sure. But there is a model that is a genuine M3.
I have a half face mask. If I fit 2 x p1 particulate filters on top of each vapour filter will the 2 x particulate filters give me more protection than just 1 of them?
@@Weaponsandstuff93 I've been chatting to your mate Piotr this morning online, I've bought 3 MC1's off him for family members.

I've had an old GP-7VM-PMK2 mask for nearly 2 years now as a collectors item but now i'm wondering about the correct type of filter to get for it (it came with one but i never used it because hehe soviet filters and i wasn't sure exactly what the one that came with it was since the writing on it has faded a bit and all i am able to read is гп-7к3-92-50 which is gp-7k3-92-50)
You'll need either modern Russian or Chinese 40mm GOST filters, apologies don't know the exact names of the modern ones. Polish FP-5 filters will fit as well, I personally really like those
Is there an accurate source on the size of the corona virus? Some say it’s smaller than the 0.3 microns which is what N95 can only stop but not smaller particles.
Markus Johannes Can you explain the science behind that? If the mask stops a particle but the virus is smaller, how does it not travel through the filter still?
Hey, I got an m84 romanian gas mask, i only got the filter it came with in the box. How long can i expect the filter to last against this virus, should i find myself in a contaminated area? Also, to decontaminate the mask, should i use rubbing alcohol?
Yo, brother, I couldn't find filters, So I had to get an A2, and attach an extra filter p2 with the extra plastic cartridge... So taking out the filters you can leave the parts under the sun for 2-3 hours, and clean the mask and it's other parts... Maybe clean the plastic filter cartridge a bit, but cleaning the P2 filters could trap moisture in it, so better get it a bit of sun... If sun is not out, get some V light? or whatever it is called... Also p3 for coronavirus is an overkill m8...right?
so i have a question this has been bugging me out for a very long time since i'm not very experienced with gasmask or filters i know little about them does Scott Pro 2000 Go with my GP-5 soviet gas mask? Ebay is running low on alot of filters so i found some in my home country but i'm not sure do they fit they do have 40mm but i'm not sure is it the correct for a super tight fit.

Oh wow, you answered a question I had at how long we can use a 40mm filter during a pandemic lol. Very nice.
Yeah pretty much indefinitely
Great video. I already bought a 3m full face + multigas etc. Going to order a new half face today
Cool
A nearby shop sells a 3m 6000 series halfmask respirator (description is pretty vague, doesn't specify the exact model), and a GVS Elipse halfmask respirator.
Would either of these respirators protect me from corona virus? And if so, which one is better?
They also have 3m p3r 5935 particulate filters. Will these do the job?
I'm also wondering what kind of goggles and gloves to get. Most of the goggles I see have holes in them for ventilation, which I don't imagine would be much good with a virus.
Question , if I have a 3m half mask reusable mask can or should I just wear the p100 or N100 filter disk or should I use it in conjunction with the vapor and organic chemical filter that has the plastic overlay with pre filter p100 ? The reason I ask is if I were to just use the p/n 100 disk filter as a stand alone it was be just an exposed fabric filter and I wonder if then the filter itself would be contaminated with virus and therefore I would want to avoid self contamination by touching the filter and using it daily for essential outings . Thanks !
In denmark they use the P-rating, so im buying a P3 mask with the bois in the weekend
Sounds good
Hey jeg er også fra Danmark ;)
Sneezing and coughing in the elbow is important. If you do it in your hands you can spread the flu, cold, ect if you use tissue throw it in a trash can with a lid
Sneezing into a tissue is much better than an elbow. But obviously elbow is better than your hand.
Best half face and full face masks (civvie ones) in my opinion are the Sundstrom masks, SR100 half face or SR200 full face.
Can I ask what the full face mask is? Looks like a copy of a scott vision/arco filtermax
Links in the description, it's a Chinese copy of a 3M style mask, works okay if you put Western filters on it.
Can a p3 filter stop the coronavirus?
I wonder how long those filters can last if we consider i need to use the mask 7h a day, 5 days in a week (i work in a health care departmebt in a medical center)
Yea would love to know the answer to that
6 give or take months, OR as long as you can breathe through them, though you would have to keep them in the sun for a couple of hours make sure moisture gets out, and most viruses are gone dead. Probably having two sets of filters to leave some in the sun while you're away, or under some light anyway....
Question?
How well do 3m 6000 serious vapor cartridges hold up in rain, mist or inclement weather... otherwise moisture
I would imagine the "pancake" style particulate filters don't hold up so well as the vapor cartridges are more or less contained in a ..well cartridge, V.s. the disk's witch seam to be mostly "fabric".
Also how would one deal with extreme moisture situations if the vapor cartridges are rendered ineffective
I have no idea on exact times but apparently HK protesters can use 3M style vapour filters for at least hours in damp environments etc.
very helpful I've bought an S10 and got my brother in law a GSR with a 40mm filter
Are the P100 plastic case filters hard to breathe in (with a 7000 series mask)? Supposing you had to wear the mask for 2 - 4 hours straight.. Is it significantly harder to breath in P100 than in N95 cartridge filters with that mask?
1:39 Here in Brazil, as far as I've seen, it's PFF1, PFF2, PFF3, and that's just a translation of P1, P2 and P3.
Fair enough, easy to translate to to the other numbers then at least unlike the US P95, P97 and P100
thank you! can you also demonstrate the difference between a genuine 3M 6800 full face respirator mask and a fake one?
if I manage to get both a real and a fake one sure.
Excellent Presentation Friend!! You Are Performing A Great Service!! Be Well!!
2:29 HE’S INFECTEEEEEEEEED
I hope it's a cold lol, not been in contact with anyone who's been to China AFAIK in the last week or so.
Weaponsandstuff93 ur fine lmao my mom had a cold and she got over it
🤣🤣
Coronavirus is coughing not sneezing
@@Weaponsandstuff93 not necessarily from china it could be by community contagion you could be infected and be an asymptomatic carrier, take the test
If you want cheap alcohol for decontamination, look for the 98% to 100% ethanol (or bio-ethanol) sold in hardware stores as fuel for BBQs, lanterns, camping stoves, etc. Keep in mind it usually contains some bitrex to make it undrinkable.
Take great care to not have any ignition source nearby when you spray alcohol, as alcohol mist is highly explosive.
In my experience you can wear glasses under many full-face masks and still get a good seal, provided the temples are thin and flexible.
Not a wise choice since higher concentrations of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol evaporate too quickly to be able to disinfect surfaces against bacteria and viruses. Opt for 70%.
I already have a half face mask but I'd also like to get an s10, and the cheapest I can find are around £70-80. Is that worth it or should I just wait for the prices to drop when the virus eventually dies down?
S10 masks have been going up in price for ages, some people blame me lol for recommending them for years but it's really just because the surplus is drying up more and more, as the British army stopped using them about a decade ago and Avon stopped production around that time.
what's the american equivilant of a 40mm P3 filter? when i look for p3 filters on ebay they cost about $35+ each due to $15-$25 shipping to the US
P100 is the US equivalent
@@cynicalmedic252 thank you, are there any non-pink disk p100 filters, cause that's all i can find.
P100 as C M said but sadly they seem to be sold out everywhere, they defo exist in America.
@@justink-kh3ps Running into the same issue, haven't been able to find 40mm P100 filters from US online sellers. There is a UK seller selling Scott PF10 P3 40mm filters at $23.38 (s&h included in price).

The next best thing would be to find 40mm NATO NBC or ABEK P3 filters. Even if they're expired as long as they haven't been expired for too long (like over 10 years), are still sealed and in good conditions the particle portion of the filter should still work fine (just make sure it's P100/3 rated).
I have USGI C2A1 and Avon CBRNF12B filters which have P100/3 ratings. Even these are being bought up or going for $30+ these days.
An addon to my 2nd comment
This MSA NBC filter has a P100 rating and is still in date until Sept 2021 for $29. (Link below)

Can the 3m 7502 mask be autoclaved?
And if it has to be used in a dental clinic, after how much time should the filters be changed ?
Is the Pro 2000 filter CF32 AX-P3 RD a good enough filter ?
Yes it's P3 at the front plus has vapour protection, only issue is they can be a bit bulky and heavy.
Would something like a polish FP5 filter on a GP5 mask work against the virus?
Yes it will work
@@Weaponsandstuff93 Awesome thanks for the help and keep up the great work
And is an mp 70 Bulgarian mask worse then a p3 climax 765 mask ?
can old unopened filter(like 10~40 years) protect me from virus?
Depends on the type of filter, but if it has a decent particle section that is still in good shape then yes.
Weaponsandstuff93 thanks ~
@@xychen4812, As long as it is opened and p3 (Europe) or P100/N100 (United States), it will be the most effective currently available filter.
Thanks for making a video on decontamination :)
so a p100 filter would work or do i have to find one with p3 on it?
P100 and P3 is the same thing
Thanks, sir. I heard you say that the 3M P3/P100 canister filters will need replaced after maybe a day of use (due to moisture from breathing), but I’m wondering how long they would be fine just sitting out (ready to be put on, after being fitted). I believe you stated that particulate filters should be fine indefinitely if they’re just sitting out? Those cartridge filters from 3M that are P100 are the “particulate filters” that you are talking about, correct? Thanks again, sir.
PS I’m not talking about the pink pad-looking P100 filters but the ones that kind of look like the one on your mask in this video.
if the filters are just sitting out, they have a shelf life of 10 years
sander sepp I appreciate the response. Me using the word “indefinitely” was not the best choice of word (my bad), but 10 years seems very decent
Armed ASMR Think so. The later that we’re concerned with for viruses is the particulate filter which won’t clog left sitting out unlike the charcoal that will be useless after a day left out I believe. Unless there’s a surprise chemical gas attack, lol, you should be fine reusing the P3 filters on your mask till breathing is tough.
Nope it's the Particle dust masks that you can only use for like a day, with cased filters the exhaled breath goes out the exhale valve so doesn't make the filter dank.
can you reuse the 7093 hardcase filters？The hardcase is bulletproof but the birus is airborne so it'll be blocked by the filter itself. You can disinfect the exterior but the filter itself is still contaminated. Does this mean you're cheating yourself?
Any thoughts on when the face mask (i.e. on the 3m masks) has an expiratory valve that opens to the atmosphere? From my reading it seems like there are some studies that show that the viral particles do not make their way through that valve but definitely feels a little risky as I'm currently in COVID hospitals and attending to these patients.
I'm only having an 3M ADD 6003 organic vapour acid cartridges, I'm think of making this a combination filter with a 5N11 particulate filter. Can someone tell me is this enough. There are no other filters in my area. And coronavirus is declared in my country.
Can we just wear a GP-5 with a new filter and be good against the virus?
I have a safety works half-face respirator, p100 filter rating. When I wear it, it smells kind of strange, and it's not the rubber. Just asking if this is normal.
No idea why it would smell strange for any reason other than glues or rubber of the mask.
So it isn't the filters issues, and I can wear it without any problems?
It’s in the uk now too
Yeah I've started giving my family and friends masks
Are full face gasmasks overkill if you already have a half face respirator and eye protection?
They're basically the same thing in terms of protection.
What filters do you recommend for 3m 6000 half face mask for protection agains virus like coronavirus. I seen P100 filters it not sure
P3/P100 filters, brand doesn't matter as long as it's a good company, Scott, Avon, MSA, 3M, JSP, etc etc
@@Weaponsandstuff93
can these fit?
3M™ 2135 Filtro antiparticolato P3R
Are the sort of pink and yellow P100 3m filters fine?
Do you mean the cartridges that also protect against acid gas? If so, yes since they are also P100.
I got a M3 6200, in one of your videos you buyed one very similar and said that is fake. The one you showed, sure. But there is a model that is a genuine M3.
I have a half face mask. If I fit 2 x p1 particulate filters on top of each vapour filter will the 2 x particulate filters give me more protection than just 1 of them?
Only filters available in my b&q is p2. Should I bite the bullet ? P3 is sold out everywhere atm
Will an alcohol decontaminant not damage the rubber/silicone of the mask?
I'm yet to find a mask that is damaged by rubbing alcohol
@@Weaponsandstuff93 thanks for the reply! I got myself an MSA Advantage 3100. The silicone just seems a little soft and delicate.
Can you make a review on stealth lite pro masks .. are they good ? They claim p3 . I am not sure if it's good or not .
I’m thinking of ordering a soviet gp5 mask, what size would fit a 5’8 14 y/o
If you have an Avon S10 or FM12 then Scott PF10 P3 filters fit perfect, my filters arrived today 😄
Yeah they will fit fine and work.
@@Weaponsandstuff93 I've been chatting to your mate Piotr this morning online, I've bought 3 MC1's off him for family members. I already have a S10 and GSR long before all this kicked off, the FM12 is my friends mask and he bought the same Scott filters when they was £4.75 each. It's always better to have things and not need them than to need them and not have them, take care mate your doing good. 😎
Is that a Moldex brand mask your holding?
No 3M 7500
I wear glasses like your glasses. If I wear my glasses with a Gp5 gas mask on will it break the seal?
Where can I get p3/p100 filters that have 40mm threads for gas masks?
eBay and Amazon, search P3 RD40 etc
@@Weaponsandstuff93 Can you attach essentially any 40mm filters to any gasmask that takes 40mm?
I have a filter exactly like the 3m with the p100/p3 filters that sat in my garage for months, something is better than nothing, or is there any health risks with the filter it's self. Expiration date: 2023
Very good video man. Essentially a P100 in the U.S. is the P3 equivalent in Europe?
Yes that is correct. God forbid they standardize all of these labels and ratings...
@@laurenhuber7814 Thanks man. I am currently running a M40 mask with 2 P3 filters, gloves, spray bottle with alcohol, sanitizer, and tape to seal off the cuffs on my pants and shirt.
@M G
That sounds like a very good setup. I’m using an Israeli M15. Although I’ll probably use my 3M 6200 half mask.
I work with the public so I’m only whipping out the M15 if things get super bad. Wouldn’t want to scare somebody’s kid hahaha.
Wherever you are, I wish you the best during all of this
@@laurenhuber7814Good setup man. I am actually trying to find some more inconspicuous masks that I could wear at work too. I'll probably get the 3m 6200 with goggles. Best of luck to you too. Stay safe.
What is a good mask that protects from Coronavirus and is $50 or less and not from aliexpress
Forget anything out of China.
Lyn R yea that’s why I don’t want to by from aliexpress I might just check out my local surplus store
I've had an old GP-7VM-PMK2 mask for nearly 2 years now as a collectors item but now i'm wondering about the correct type of filter to get for it (it came with one but i never used it because hehe soviet filters and i wasn't sure exactly what the one that came with it was since the writing on it has faded a bit and all i am able to read is гп-7к3-92-50 which is gp-7k3-92-50)
You'll need either modern Russian or Chinese 40mm GOST filters, apologies don't know the exact names of the modern ones. Polish FP-5 filters will fit as well, I personally really like those
Good video very helpfully for people that are beginners
Cool, that's the issue really if a lot of people at the moment won't understand lots of mask terminology etc.
any different between 3M 2097CN / 2097K and 2097 ?? it just indicate where they made right?
Soviet gas mask are probably the most effective in this situation. Like the GP-5
Harvo haha, yes.
Is it okay to use normal gass mask?
As long as it makes a good seal and you can attach a good filter then it should be fine
Is there an accurate source on the size of the corona virus? Some say it’s smaller than the 0.3 microns which is what N95 can only stop but not smaller particles.
The point is not to stop the actual virus but the particles that carries them
Markus Johannes Can you explain the science behind that? If the mask stops a particle but the virus is smaller, how does it not travel through the filter still?
Hey, I got an m84 romanian gas mask, i only got the filter it came with in the box. How long can i expect the filter to last against this virus, should i find myself in a contaminated area? Also, to decontaminate the mask, should i use rubbing alcohol?
Particulate filters last for years unless you are breathing lots of dust etc
@@Weaponsandstuff93 thanks !
Yo, brother, I couldn't find filters, So I had to get an A2, and attach an extra filter p2 with the extra plastic cartridge... So taking out the filters you can leave the parts under the sun for 2-3 hours, and clean the mask and it's other parts... Maybe clean the plastic filter cartridge a bit, but cleaning the P2 filters could trap moisture in it, so better get it a bit of sun... If sun is not out, get some V light? or whatever it is called... Also p3 for coronavirus is an overkill m8...right?
Do the half masks with the rc20 cartridges protect from the virus? I can't find any info bro
Spray Paint gas mask Filters Pathogens including nCov, cause the filter of the mask uses activated Carbon.
How long can I use the 6035 filter for? There is nothing online about it? 100 hrs? 30 hrs?
As it's a particle filter, out and about a couple of years, they don't expire, in a really dusty shed, a few days etc.
so i have a question this has been bugging me out for a very long time since i'm not very experienced with gasmask or filters i know little about them does Scott Pro 2000 Go with my GP-5 soviet gas mask? Ebay is running low on alot of filters so i found some in my home country but i'm not sure do they fit they do have 40mm but i'm not sure is it the correct for a super tight fit.
