Was feeling increasingly silly about not being a booster bandit given the ever more frequent reports of waning vaccine immunity at ~6 months, but honestly didn't think I'd be able to pull-off the Max Titres procedure due to being a terrible liar. However it was definitely good to know it was an option if for some reason the legitimate boosters were delayed or not authorized, so thanks to the people itt that posted about their experiences going that route.

Have you used the co2 meter before or is it fresh out of the box? It may be pretty hit or miss and he happened to get a miss unit, but when I was looking at them I found this video where the guy tests one against a more "proper" unit and it's pretty far off.

CO2 is just as proxy for ventilation it's not directly related to covid/removed by purifiers. If you're purifying you're not going to see it move but if you had a magic covid meter you'd see ronis go down

As is being pointed out, $34 Amazon CO2 meters seem sketch as gently caress. I tried finding some that were NIST certified for under $500 but not having a lot of luck even finding any NIST certified CO2 meters at all

No idea, I only briefly looked when I was ordering some other stuff from AliExpress and spotted them. I decided that they were questionable enough that I'd just wait for someone to find which ones, if any, are any good.

It's possible that they do give you what you need and are just all over the place in build quality or incorrectly implement the reference circuit and could be corrected by someone knowledgeable about them, but that's not me unfortunately.

Oxygen meters are easy because they self calibrate, Earth's atmosphere is very reliably 21% oxygen so just powering it on, generally it'll work great

I wonder if some of the bad readings are just calibration issues. I have no idea how you'd calibrate a CO2 meter. Maybe in a box with a CO2 cartridge?

you'd calibrate like any other particulate meter by using a standardized chamber (controlling for temp and humidity) and a standard flow of O2 and CO2.

How long is the calibration useful for a citizen scientist, does it persist between power cycles

I use what I saw a bunch of scientists on Twitter using: Aranet4

I actually got it off Amazon at full price but the link it supposedly a coupon for $40 off. No idea if the coupon still works.

[Edit] It works great straight out of the box, no calibration needed, and app lets you view a log of up to 7-days so you can leave it somewhere and check it later too.

calibrations for devices like this are typically good for a year depending on the tolerance it's calibrated for (A, AA, etc) and how it's used.

I presume most of the sub-$100 models are not calibrated and if they are it's at something like +/- 20% of reading

For the most part you could calibrate by leaving it outside for an hour or something like that. Outside is usually between 400-450 ppm for CO2. Aranet 4 ships calibrated and while it has a manual calibration option, they recommend against doing on your own under most circumstances.

Seconding this. I held off buying a CO2 meter for like a year cause I didn't trust any of those type and dropped the search in preference to researching masks back when they were still hard to source. Now with plenty of masks I'm back on the CO2 train cause everything's in person with non-sterilizing vaccines that people seem to think is fine.
