Spent $240 on a good respirator after a bad headache

I cheaped out on a $30 mask for a month and ended up with a nasty headache from welding fumes. Anyone else stop cutting corners on breathing gear after getting sick?

@davis.gavin hit on it, but the real hidden cost is what your lungs go through long before you feel a headache - that $30 mask probably did more damage than you realize. Saved up for a proper one after realizing cheap filters let through the fine particles you can't even see.

Totally feel you, man. Glad you're taking care of yourself now.
