@idea_alchemist Damn, so this is how I find out that I also had fakes because my last box is certainly sparkley as hell. 1st is old/likely legit, 2nd is today, 3rd obviously fake. Imo there’s probably a bit of variation, bc it looks like mine from today has maybe a bit larger holes than yours?
@idea_alchemist However, I’ve also had ones with larger holes in the past. Here’s the one today (middle) next to 2 old boxes of valved 9211+. The bottom I suspected of being fake, only because the box came without the usual instruction pamphlet. Sketched me out enough that I never used them 1/2
@idea_alchemist despite 3M having the “safe guard” code on this model which passed on both boxes. And now I see that those ones also have much smaller holes (but no sparkles), while the top has larger holes than the one today. 2/2
@idea_alchemist It could mean nothing, and just be chalked up to logistics, but something I also just noticed is that Maxwell (obviously untrustworthy now) and ISP are the only listed authorized vendors claiming they have 9210+ back in stock; Stauffer, Enviro safety, GT Midwest still list as OOS
