dude, just go to Home Improvement and get a double filter respirator (make sure it says it can filter paints.). It's $30 for guaranteed protection for the rest of your life, you can pick up a pair of goggles at the dollar store too. Using one of those, I sniffed the opening of a can of lacquer thinner...nada, no smell at all. Putting on a respirator takes all of 5 seconds, and they're pretty comfortable
Let me know if you want a pic, I'll take a pic of mine
Just remember to keep your respirator in a closed tupperware box or the cartridges will run out super fast.
