I just bought the ZD 153 solder fume filter which seems to be fairly common worldwide:
https://www.reichelt.de/loetrauchabsaugung-zd-153-23-w-filter-zd-153-p90929.html
Manual says it is for absorbing flux fumes and has something about the chemistry of rosin activators - they will form hydrochloric acid when decomposing. Anyway, it is pretty noisy. A candle flame is completely undisturbed about 2 in from the mouth of the funnel. There is quite a vortex on the back side, but it seems circular as if caused by the turning blades rather than any axial airstream. The filter is a black open pore foam about 10 mm thick. When you hold it against the light, you can see hundreds of unobstructed channels maybe half a mm wide. I doubt this does much to absorb organic fumes. Returning to sender...

You're never alone with a schizophrenic.
With your 'thing' about tin, Rensli, I'd recommend whatching "Dr Strangelove" and pay attention to Gen Jack T Ripper going on
about flouride and "precious bodily fluids".
It's important not to suffer from a little craziness, but to enjoy it.
I do.

@rensli - See the "(!) Report" under post #16? Click that and explain what you wish. This puts it on the Moderator To-Do list, so you don't wait indefinitely for a moderator to find a request mid-thread. Yes, anybody can report anybody, but reporting yourself is cleaner/clearer.delete my last post 16?
Reading stuff on the internet does not make one a health expert. Having spent 50+ years in high tech industry, dealing with health issues in electroplating, nuclear reactors, medical offices and hospitals, aerospace (chemical lasers, pesticides, cyanides, heavy metals, etc.) there are a lot of personal behaviors people ignore while focusing on external causation incorrectly (smoking, poor eating habits, alcohol and drug abuse, loud music, etc.)
So much cancel culture these days, it's a wonder anyone can get anything functional made/done/accomplished.... even b4 Covid19. Most anything that works has been banned and/or mis-represented as dangerous. Memory loss is standard with aging... maybe schedule a doctor visit?

I know, some may think i gone mad but i dont.

Memory loss is due to not aging, its when u stop learning. I had a 83 years old neighbor and a pretty old physics teacher back in school, they all were old and smart as ever one can be. Bright guys.
I have tried everything, its still the tonsils that bothers me... nothing can save us now... maybe i had my tonsils out cuz i was soldering too much? I dont know.
Feeling of freedom is lost without them... that gentle feeling of self.
Its just killing me, so many think its necessary lol 😀 Am i crazy ?? or ppl who think removing tissues from the body is not big of a deal. This is madness on a hidden space.

Drink lots of coriander juice, great for detox.
Also find other ways to remove accumulated lead from your body.

Yes. healthy food and drink helps, it should be reasonable !! and overthinking on consuming healthy food is also a bad idea.
My question is why so many operations in that tonsil area. It messes with the hearing also...and with the breathing, and eyes, nose breathing performance is also reduced.
Every tissue is so hardwired to the human hearth,.....lol. I feel like slave without tonsils. Slavery begins when u start thinking about healthy foods, how to do this and that and what to do and so on.... loss of freedom.
EDIT: we are slaves now who had them out. If u think biblical, tonsils represent 2 angels... no tonsils, no angels. Angels are guardians..... guardians of the temple.

Its i have a feeling that tonsillectomy is not just flesh and blood, it has something to do with a somekind of a religion that has been growing with-us... Buddha ? What Buddhist ppl do with a person who have no protection ? 😀 I know that thing like "star-dust" they love to use, if u out-hale this into another person and there is nothing left to protect you.... than ur temple starts to collapse(body). Its just what i experienced.
Lol this area is totally gray for me and i dont take any responsibility of what i did just now .
Its the same with electronic equipment, they can be categorized based on religious person, thus some amps will have more life in the speakers than others.

And I have been soldering, building amps, etc, and in the service shop, since i was 15 years old - total of 54 years.... and ain't nothing wrong with me.I have been breathing in solder fumes for about 40 years and I am OK.
I try to not breath them in if possible.
Yes, of course, that´s how they dissolve surface oxides.the chemistry of rosin activators - they will form hydrochloric acid when decomposing.
But not "decomposing" at random, only when at solder temperatures; after cooling to room temperature they are back to "safe" ... sort of 🙂.
You never head of the 34C melting point solder?Although some adults can get it tragically wrong!
I am amazed!!!! 😱
Lol, i dont have appendix also 😀 but you guys keep amazing me with good and positive ideas .I hope i can return it to you some day 😛
We should have some active forum topic for ppl who are struggling through hard times in life. Audio kinda goes well with it 🙂

Bruce Lee? I would think Martial Arts practitioners are more interested in testicle tensioning than tonsil telegraphy!
Tonsils were once thought to be a useless part made obsolete by evolution. That's why a recently formed National Health System saw fit to deprive me of mine at the age of five! It was a traumatic experience, but I got ice cream in the hospital and a space gun from my parents when I got home. 😎

I was in gym class with a hundred others, doing jumping-jacks to a record player playing Robert Preston's "Chicken Fat" song.
The gym teacher ripped the needle off the record and announced that JFK was shot, and we were all to go home.
Two days later, I had to go to Jeanes Hospital to have my tonsils taken out.
I remember clearly that the nurse gave me a shot in the arm, and asked me to recite numbers as I sat up in the bed.
One-two-three-four-five-six-seven.......... I fell back in the bed.
Woke up sometime later, mom asked me if I wanted some ice cream to soothe my throat.
I remember sitting at home on the sofa eating vanilla ice cream, watching our 23" B/W tv of the Kennedy funeral.
Ah, the good ole days..
Ah, the good ole days..
Your "good ole days" are not as old as my "good ole days"!
No peaceful injection for me! I still remember smelling the stench of rubber as a mask was pressed against my face and seeing the bright light strapped on the surgeon's forehead approach me as I lost consciousness. Absolutely traumatising for a young boy of five! The memory is still vivid after all these years while other memories of my early childhood have faded.
I had to spend an overnight in a cot under observation in the hospital (presumably to check I didn't bleed to death!) and was returned home to my mother and father by ambulance the next day. The ray gun made real sparks though, so that part was good!
Lol 😀 i agree that its just a temporary trauma, takes years to adopt. still, bacteria and viruses have better access to our systems now. We can access this true meditation(cure for various illnesses) that prooves everything they say in schools and papers is not necessarily true. Jfk got pwned too early, maybe he had a message or he saw things in better light for the future.
