kF94 or Surgical mask?

[WussRedXLi]

Thanks bro, I've added quite a number of Mezzang into my cart.

What do you mean by Chinese stuff?

Yep like another bro has said...those 3D trifold masks which are made in china.
Coz KF94 technically is a korean standard and only authorised to be produced in South Korea coz they do some stuff like auditing during its time of manufacture.

That is why even when some legit masks in south korea failed for some batches and are found out, they are pulled off the shelves.

Which model is that?

731 and 917 I think...

Last time order the "all block brand" material is tougher but more expensive

The latest F731 sent to me by some regular poster here (forgot who) fared well, ie the latest batch in which Mezzang brought it back after being OOS.

The very last batch around end Oct before it went OOS measured a wee bit worse than the mixshop BFE 99.9%, but only 1 batch.

Shd be ok now.

I think it was mine, which you tested on Friday. Hopefully the F919 or similar size comes back, because I missed the opportunity to buy when it was available.

Have seen Airish on Shopee and Qoo10 for cheaper. If online buys are an option for you, get the masks direct from Korea.

For comparison, smaller sized masks that are typically harder to find and are more expensive, are being sold for about $22 for 50. So you should be able to find regular sized ones at even lower prices per piece online. Can buy a few to try first or worse case, buy 50 pieces and sell off what is unopened if the masks are unsuitable for you. They may suit somebody else.

I using Airish quite awhile. Not bad. Also i think the size not that big and fix just nice on my face. I order two piece from korea to try. then got from a flash sale at lazada for 50 piece in a box. Also it under MFDS.

Tested your mask liao.

Hansol bi-fold KF94, Nawell Medium size 195mm len, Purefit, Tamsaa,

The Hansol seems a wee bit weak (comparatively) in filtration, might not pass the KF94 standard, but still seems to be ok for everyday use, even 30 min MRT use. Just maybe not for those SIN-LHR flights....
Note, no matter what, this still is better (relatively) than the Guardian and 2 Assure surgical masks that i measured.

Will wait for a slightly hazier day, ambient at 5-6k, and re-measure again. (vs surgical masks)

But again, fit is always key, is the crucial thingy. If no 3M micropore tape seal, alll these small differences in filtration doesn't matter.

Thanks so much for taking time out for this. And for advising re the Hansol. The person who switched to this was getting mouth rashes from contact with surgical masks (BYD) and the Hansol was a good fit. Too bad it doesn't filter down to 0. Luckily not taking any long flights.

Good to know about Nawell. An option for smaller faces. Surprised that Tamsaa and Purefit do good jobs even though both are 3 ply. They are comfortable for average sized faces.

Hope 12/12 will have good deals for kf94 masks! Thanks to Ender for the tip on Heart Mom.

Legit 3 ply already can get KF94 certification. The Blue Pine (3 ply)I sent to @WussRedXLi also did well. If I recall correctly, Get Ready (Black,3 ply) also did well..

bro can help to measure the front panel height of Nawell medium size mask?
Stated measurement M is 197mm*145mm. I cannot figure out how to get 145mm (comparing with the masks I have)

l am lazy to try new brands of k94, scared also the filter might not be as good, I juz always buy the most affordable Get Ready Black, nowadays bo dye smell already, not sure if the black material has changed.

my SIL has a small gap at her chin with F919, does it mean F919 is still big for her?
Which is the slightly smaller/shorter mask for her? Any advice? Thanks.
