Well that also depends on use, but I swap mine out about every 6 months.

Again, another great video.You already covered when to change the vapor filter, but what about the pink pad?

With all the people who are purchasing the exact mask as you, you could start your own Pink Woodworker Stormtrooper army. We will have to call ourselves the Woodtroopers to avoid copyright laws. We can take over the world, I tell you. One table saw at a time.

Seems like there is no one at Amazon selling the adapters that allow putting the particulate filter on the carbon filter. … Bummer.

I hope they will be back soon.

Marc,

Discovered your podcasts last weekend, been watching all week to catch up with the crowd, and I made it! Loved the refresher on respitory protection. One note about the activated carbon filters, I have been advised by many safety product suppliers to air tight bag your carbon filters as they will continue to absorb VOC’s from the ambient air reducing service life, if you are cheap like most me, a large zip lock bag to put your mask in is the ultimate cheap!

Marc,

What is the 3M part # for that adapter / cover to attach the particulate filter to the activated carbon canister? Your Amazon links are broken…

Hey Gary. Very good question. Here’s my theory on it. If you can smell the fumes, its definitely time to change cartridges. If you can’t smell anything, they must still be working. Based on that “theory”, the cartridges will last a LONG time. So long, in fact, that I get nervous and start to question my own theory, lol. So just to be safe, I replace mine about every 6 months or so.

Another question Marc – how do you know when the vapor cartridge needs to be replaced?

awesome video Marc…I was having a hard time understanding why the P100 wasn’t fitting over the 1st stage, and how that would work with the gaps around the back side…then it hit me (duh)….it all comes through the intake port. I’ve got the 7500, and will pick these up (through your store of course). Thanks for the great video man…

I agree. I like the idea of using the particulate filters alone too, but I thought this would be a compact and convenient option for those times when you want both. I have both of them on order, so I will test it.
