I would be eternally grateful if anyone here could advise and guide me on this process in the UK specifically. It seems straight helium is no longer available in UK and nitrogen is now a problem too. All the vendors I have found will only ship nitrogen to a trade address.

In addition, I cannot get my head around the technicalities: how much you need, ie what size tank and under what pressure, how to source and fit the right regulator, etc etc.

If anyone here is in UK and has been able to acquire the whole set up, I would be so grateful for any guidance. I've come to the conclusion this is the most feasible method for me IF I can acquire the whole set up. (I made another post about why pento and SN - which I have acquired - are not right for me).

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads.

Which of the 5 inert gas methods do you want to use: SCUBA, SCBA, EEBD hood, exit bag, Rebreather ?

It is possible to get intert gas in the UK, but of course I don´t post sources in the forum.

Just the exit bag, if I could acquire the gas and accessories.

I could send you sources for inert gas, but you have to post more to be able to use the message function.

If you want to use the exit bag, this is the right thread:

You can also ask for an inert gas source there.

Thanks I've seen that thread but if I can't source what I need, it's of no use.
Hopefully I won't be blocker from posting further when I use my own Internet.

Hello, I think PMs are possible now. Would be grateful for sources as all the suppliers I have found in UK will only ship to trade addresses. Another user here from UK is having the same problem.

Can just get them right on eBay and Amazon, surely?

Maybe as balloon or party supplies.

If teens can get wasted from nitrous with same day amazon, I'm sure we can get helium.

Hi. I can´t help you with the exit bag equipment or any other inert gas methode. If you want to talk the SCUBA method, please continue here:

Not the pure one no, the balloon version is not pure.

I think every other item on the list is easy to source except for the gas, as you've mentioned it's only being delivered to trade businesses.

Have you progressed much further in sourcing this?

Yes I got my nitrogen several months ago. I've been tardy about the regulator, wench and tubing but need to get my act together because my condition is getting worse quickly.

Could I ask where you got the Nitrogen - I'm looking for reliable sources for UK addresses?

We're not allowed to post sources publicly but if you send me a pm I'd be happy to tell you. Another user ordered from same place after I did. We both received our orders fine.
