try equipment from ESAB

But do not forget : fume extraction by the welding gun is only efficient when welding 1G and related positions. It is not suitable for positional welding : the torch is too heavy for handling and the extraction of fume is not 100%

Try metal core wire and see if you can get away from extraction in the first place. Those guns have their own ergonomic problems and are expensive. We used ITW (OXO) product. Oh the good old days of Diamond Jim...

Are you going to be welding in your shop or out in the field installing or repairing?
Some of those devises are bulky and are not to portable.
If you are concerned for yourself and not so much for the ones around you, there are welding shields that have air filtration in them and in the summer when it's hot you'll have a fresh cool air supply gently blowing in your face. Speedglas Fresh-air II P9000 System runs about $750 for the shield w/ auto darkening feature, filter with battery pack that clips to your belt and supplies air via a hose to the shield.
