Chris, i understand where you're coming from although i completely disagree with some of your responses. ALL lampworkers need good ventilation and we're just trying to help you set up something effective temporarily until you can budget for a bigger system.
If you set up the way i recommended and wear the P100 respirator (with regularly changed filters) ALL the time not just when working with metal leaf or silver glasses you'll be able to see for yourself if this works for you. It worked for me while i was on the Hothead but this setup no longer works with the Mega, hence my decision to buy and install new ventilation. This method at least gives you the chance to save some money for a good ventilation system.
If after any torch sessions you feel a tightness/roughness in your nose, chest or throat or or have a strange metallic taste in your mouth even with the respirator, then you'll know your ventilation setup doesn't work and you should immediately stop and continue to make adjustments until you can work without those symptoms.
p.s. make sure the respirator is specialized for fumes not just dust. they look similar...
