EEBD Hood / Inert Gas Methods

[Dubito]

Anyone, who is also planning to go with eebd hood from em?

@outrider567 is and has tested his rig. Says it's 100% peaceful and painless.

Not so many, obviously. Why do so few people choose inertgas methods?

I'm guessing the cost and availability?

Cost is why

 

[Black Sheep One]

It is the cost. I am lucky to find a working Oxygen regulator dirt cheap. I have the Oxygen to Nitrogen, Argon, Helium adapter. I don't like the bag idea. I am looking into NRB masks. They seem cheap enough. I am seeing a link to EEBD in the similar threads. The other drawback is the tank. It is big, heavy, and non stealthy.

I am looking into NRB masks.

NRB masks, even tho they are plausible to CTB and likely to work, are not explicitly designed to protect you from the external air and can originate issues with the mask's fit/placement in the face, which can cause air to leak into the mask, like it happened to one of the subjects of the Dignitas study.​

The other drawback is the tank. It is big, heavy, and non stealthy.

An entire inert gas setup can fit inside a suitcase or big backpack, even with a 40ft³ cylinder which has a whopping 1132 Liters of gas.​

How much does that cylinder weigh?

 

[GasMonkey]

In EU a 5L 200bar cylinder with 1000L weights 10kg, the 40ft³ would be a bit heavier.​

Yes, Im thinking seriously that this is a straightforward approach to the operation. It is also considerably cheaper
