DIY fit testing pointers

[brainwane]

I'm a little frazzled and need a pointer or two.

I don't want to spend $150 on a fit testing kit. I'd like to spend less.

The $40 one I've seen mentioned is sold out.

Resources I've read about how to do-it-yourself say that I need a nebulizer/atomizer. I saw a mention at some point of a USD$10-$15 nebulizer the author had bought on Amazon, and evidently I misplaced that link because I can't find it now. I find disposable nebulizers for sale at Betty Mills in about the $3 range. Are those the types that I would want?

Or, if you have a lead on a complete DIY fit testing kit that costs under about $50, I'd love to know. Thanks.

what the fit test uses the nebulizer for

The reason the fit test needs a nebulizer or atomizer is so that someone can spray bitter-tasting or sweet-tasting liquid into the air, and we can check how long it takes for a person wearing a mask to smell/taste it.

Okay, I believe you would need the motorized bits for the whole thing to work.
