Just watched the video for this particular fume extractor, and noticed someone found the filters for it as well, just have to message and deal with the company direct I think was said.
So just curious if this was still the way to go, or does anyone have an opinion on the Quick 6101A1 extractor (does seem to be a 3 stage and I'm sure filters are easier to buy)? I've seen it for sale for under 500$ with the tube, unfortunately I don't have the space to have a good setup, so I need some kind of extractor before I do anything, even minor stuff, and from what I've seen/read anything is better than nothing at all, just curious if anyone had any opinions on anything recently, as the companies site from the review no longer even lists that particular model, only saw it on Alibaba, and by the time you pay for the extractor and shipping the quick seems to be much cheaper.
Just thought I'd see what the thoughts on that are.
few tips i can say there
is not worth to paying for quick 6101A because you have many cloned chinese fume extractors with cheaper price available to buy and i am sure they uses same quality filters in short
-prefilter
-hepa h13
-gas filter (filter out 85% of gas particles)
clones such as waterun f6100 and others use same filters and these filters have bituminous coal activated carbon impregnated with potassium iodide KI (i am sure quick use same carbon)
for example in last days i buyed one clone link
that BEST BST-495 and have also same efficient gas filter here you have video
this fume extractor cost me half price of quick 6101a and also its replacement filters cost half price , i didnt smell any colophony outgoing from this fume extractor (could fell some % of solder fluxes) but this is very small ammount and doesnt irritiate also heavy metal gas from solder wire is reduced alot
in more expensiff fume extractors like for example bofa v300e you have activated carbon + activated alumina impregnated with kmno4 literature claim about kmno4 have wider range of various gas particles removal than potassium iodide
but in reality i dont believe about this bofa v300e gas filters could remove 100% of gas vapours
what means wider range ? in short it doesnt means about bofa v300e filters would clean you 100% air from gas it just meant about its filter could clean air from more different particles > could clean air from more brand of fluxes than other fume extractors
