![]() Of course, you should use a respirator with acid gas cartridges!Īnd I think it is highly irresponsible to encourage or condone, even passively by example, the idea that one doesn't. I use mine for spraying lacquer, furniture, and occasionally automotive paint. ![]() If I don't reuse them with in 3 months I pitch them and open a new pack. I put mine in a zip lock with as much air taken out as possible to extend their life. Whether being use or not they are still doing their thing. The filter from 3M and I'm others do have a life once opened. By then any vapor left I guess is trapped in the upper part of the box and I don't notice it but then I don't take the top off either. I return in 6 to 8 minutes pull the unit out and move to the next hive. I'll come back in 4 to 5 minutes and unplug it and walk away. ![]() When treating hives I plug it in and walk away. ![]() Even with a mask I try to stay out of the vapor. I have been too close a time or two and gotten a whiff, now when testing I use a mask. Every once and a while I will give it a try outside the hive to make sure it is working correctly or if the battery needs a charge. The only times I have smelled vapor is when I have tested the unit. I generally don't and based on the previous post about which filter to use I was wasting my time and filter then.
