So other than the generic copy looking a lot like the 3m, it has some definite downsides😝. Good comparison vid.

@frankenstein3163 3 жыл бұрын

I got a generic one. My only complaint is its distortion.. It makes me dizzy. I don't know if the 3m would do that to me also. To test the seals you can put your palm over the holes and breath in and breath out to test the positive and negative vacuum seals.

I didn’t get the distortion from either of my masks, or at least not enough to bother me. Very true with checking for a good seal on the masks. Overall I’m still happy with the generic one. It’s not as nice as my 3m, but if you are only using it every once in a while it should get the job done

Thanks for making this vid, this should help people whose concerned abt getting which 3M 6800. Nice on point informative review right there 🌟 I got a legit 3M 6800 and had been used for 2 months now, but was thinking of "what if scenario" and kinda look at the copies around eBay / AliExpress / etc as a cheaper emergency alternative if ever needed. So...the problem with the copies are as you described, so long as it completely safely seals that's the most important bit. However I'm afraid abt how long it would last...and I'm also worried of the non-existent Quality Control on the copies (I think they don't even have QC there, unlike legit ones). I could get a copy in good condition like yours there or maybe...end up with something that completely breaks off the moment I pick it up 😂

@ModdedProjectsGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! I agree that the quality from mask to mask could vary. My biggest concern would definitely be the mounting of the filters/cartridges. The plastic just doesn’t seem like it would hold out after constant use. Overall, for the price they seem to be a decent mask though. You’ll just have to be careful with them when putting on and removing the filters

@Katzbelger 4 жыл бұрын

@@ModdedProjectsGarage ur very welcome man, yeah I agree on the quality concerns too...if the mask seals but the plastic gaskets are problematic then it would be very risky... I end up getting a new K3 NBC Gas Mask (South Korean, by SanCheong co Ltd). The filters are stated to be P3 / P100, but it's 2014 batch with 10 years expiration date, got the whole package for abt $120 included shipping was that a rip off? :/

For people outside the US maybe buying in China is a good option because you can find the clone for 20$ and in my country a full set of the 3M 6800 can cost from 230$ (only the mask) to up to 300$ some companies can charge up to 400$ for one keep in mind the base month wage for us is 281.57$ as of today so if you live in a lesser fortunate county sometimes it just doesn't make sense

I was told over and over again that I fit a medium. Is it just me, or does the medium squish your mouth? The large doesn't do that and it makes communications a lot easier. Yes, technically I can use either medium or large, but the large is magnitudes more user friendly.

@@alespindola8891 I highly recommend you the copy. Get one from wish. You need the 3M equivalent till face mask. This is important for making sure that the filters gonna work well. The security is given by the filter not by the mask itself. However, what I can tell you regarding the copy one is that is really well made. ( good materials ).

@Phantasmos Жыл бұрын

A Correction! During the plandemic,, 3M did Not have enuff supplies to go around. 3M did Not have enough facility to Increase production. Instead, what 3M dud, was to Allow others to produce or manufacture 'legally' reproductions aka Generic. The Dufference is Specifications & Ingrediients Used. I have both. The Generic, after multiple Uses will fray. Chemicals, liquid in particular Will cause premature wear... as it should, on Generic models. The retention harness, I 'modified' with readily available head bands. Other than that... it depends on Use!

Ed Tendai no they have are set up to take the 3m cartridges. Not sure if they make an adapter or not

@MediocreNed 4 жыл бұрын

There are center adapters that can take a 40mm gas mask canister. 3m calls it a DIN center adapter, there is a chinese clone of that mask you can find on ebay or chinese websites like aliexpress, or gearbest. The easiest way you can spot the 40mm version is looking for a gaint screw knob on the center of the exhalation part of the mask. That said I don't know if the chinese DIN version is for nato threads or GOST (russian gas mask) threads.

@telengardforever7783 2 жыл бұрын

some good news: The REAL 3M's are a lot more affordable now. I can easily get a half or full face respirator on amazon without having to prove one way or another that I am a critical front line worker. I highly suggest people get a respirator while they are still affordable as we don't know what the next COVID variant will bring.
