How's your buttocks?
Don't ask me why but Dev filters work better this way

Cheeky
the secondary filter is a FILTER, so you would loose that filtering efficiency IE more stuff in the waste tank. So if you purchased the Devastator for filtering, then you loose some of that capability.
And its not a theory, its a fact.

I think I'm going to buy the Steam Action inline filter. It looks pretty awesome.

Talk about airflow! I had the silver bullet Devestator, but the puddling at the bottom of it was very annoying, and sloppy to change out bags. This gives me maximum performance and is easy to swap out bags.

That's the same wand I bought years ago from Joe. I gave it Zee with the monster portable on a Dolly.

Im sticking with the no bird bag filter, the paint filter stays cleaner, longer.

Mikey is no longer in love with the Devastator filter so he’ll tell you something else is better (this week) but you can find them at devastatorfilter.com.

Yep
each day I replace the paint strainer. I also rinse out the secondary filter. I find that the secondary filter still catches a lot of debris which would otherwise go into the waste tank.
I dont have drying time issues so it is a mute point to do a test to remove the secondary filter to gain airflow.
However tomorrow I will put the band of the paint strainer on the outside of the filter to see if there is any difference.

I'm flattered that We have come to a consensus..
When do you hold your Mikey meetings?

It fits into the waste tank directly under the intake ports. My AquaTech nits came with a metal basket which would catch the debris entering the tank. I cut off the bottom of the baskets, leaving just the top lip to hold the paint strainers.
With this setup, I have full airflow around the strainer. As the tank fills, the debris gets submersed in the dirty water, but there is still plenty of airflow.
