VOC mask recommendations

I have used the Minwax oil-based stains for all of my life.  They look so much better (IMHO) than the water-based stains.  My wife hates the smell, but I have been ok with it ... until now.

I used one this weekend and did the work outside.  I thought that would be fine, but I felt rather sick to my stomach afterwards. (It went away after an hour.)

So, I'd like your recommendations for dust/gas masks that will block those VOC's when I use these stains again.  

My short search on Amazon and Woodcraft yielded this as a possible choice: "3M 62023HA1-C Professional Multi-Purpose Respirator" for about $30

That'll do the trick. Store the cartridges in a ziplock bag after your done around the stinky stuff and it'll extend the life of the cartridges.
