That violet color is a HEPA (Filters are color coded.) and is an extreme filter and would get clogged up easily. Here is a trick I used to make my filters last longer, I would tape a piece of a porous paper towel to cover the opening. Saved clogging up my filters. I presume you made sure your mask will take other filters as well.

Yes it will take many filters. What ones do you recommend I get to replace those? I will use the paper towel idea as well.

I take the whole mask and put it in a zip lock bag and seal it when not using it, its a tip one of my bro in laws that is a train mechanic gave me and it deffintly helps the length of use

It all comes down to common sense. Use a damp cloth to clean your respirator. If the HEPA filter becomes clogged then you blow it out from the opposite side a couple of times and then switch for new. I did that with several filters and that doubled their lives. As for chemical filters this is not really the place to go into it. It is a vast field and usually not worth the expense. The insecticide filter is good enough for knife making and use fresh belts on micarta so fumes are not an issue. No need to overthink this guys.
