Quite a few of us here including me have the EEBD hood. Its very good. @outrider567 has done multiple tests with it & can confirm that it works. Its better than an exit bag cuz its has an exhalation valve & is much sturdier (though exit bag is also viable). Theres a source on Alibaba who selles the hood for only $20 USD without the cylinder but the connection if different so youll have to modify it to that of your regulatorAny thoughts on this EEBD hood?
Debreather looks like a great solution, IF? they ship to Europe I wonder if customs would be a problem?The R2D ReBreather lll
$250 for the device + $45 for S/H
R2D ReBreather III
r2d.respiro.global
$40 for Nitrogen cartridges (Amazon)
It's a LOT cheaper than "a short stay in Switzerland."

So a couple of questions about that.Quite a few of us here including me have the EEBD hood. Its very good. @outrider567 has done multiple tests with it & can confirm that it works.

The face mask inside the hood is connected to a blue hose & has an exhalation valve. When cylinder is on, the blue hose supplies gas inside the hood into the nose/mouth region (inhalation) & anytime you exhale, co2 will automatically flush out trhough the one way exhalation valve.So a couple of questions about that.
Is there a specific source you recommend? (@outrider567 )
I see conflicting information in my research. Some say you breathe through a filter to remove toxins, and others say you connect it to compressed air.
So how does it work?
For example in the one I posted: https://www.thefzsafety.com/product/eebdhood/
What I don't get is, for the exhalation valve to work, the area around mouth and nose needs to be sealed, but if that's the case, how does inhalation work?
I think GasMonkey is more qualfied to answer your good questions than I am--All I know is my oxygen plunged from 98 to 54 after just a few breaths(5 second to 10 second delay)when I did my tests many months ago--and this was just at 15 LPM, not 25 LPM that Das Nichts did(and he passed out)--When I saw my oxygen drop to 80, I took the hood off immediately, and it continued to drop to 54 before rebounding quickly, I felt no ill effects(as some have said, I don't think you pass out until Oxygen level hits 25)So a couple of questions about that.

Did Vizzy end up CTB with this method? I am sorry to ask, as I know the information is out there, but I have gone through his "Goodbye" thread and I was confused as to which method he ended up actually using. After reading his posts, it looks like he ended up CTB with SN. As someone who was very very interested in Inert Gas asphyxiation, it was pretty concerning to see that Vizzy ended up opting for SN instead - he had such a good looking set up, and I would probably use a lot of his information for my own set up - it's expensive, so to see him use something else instead after all his prep, it just makes me wonder why? He has so many posts to sort through, and I know you're an OG that probably just knows what happened so I figured I'd ask you. From my perspective, it just looks like he set all this crazy stuff up, educated others on how to do it.... and then randomly is like "ok now I'm taking my SN" and that confused me...That was the hood used by Vizzy, bennydiazapine and many others that we don't know (coz that was the hood on the escMode EEBD kit).

it's expensive
Wanted to let you know that I eventually got it and it works and fits perfect. Thanks!I bought this one which goes straight to the cylinder no need for a regulator--TYPE 50
STRAIGHT TO CYL TYPE 50 oops caps
Ok good, thank you! But does it matter that the flow meter only goes to 15? I think TiredHorse said it's safer when the flow you want is not at the extreme end of the flow meter's range. He thought the 15 should be roughly in the middle of the range, like if the range was 0-25 or 0-30. I'm just concerned that 15 is as high as it can go, crossing my fingers that it's calibrated correctly.That bullnose looks like a Nitrogen (CGA-580) connector.
Doesn't look like an Oxygen (CGA-540) connector which is female instead of male.
15L/min is plenty for Exit Bags & EEBD Hoods. My only issue with it is that it says oxygen even though it looks to have a CGA-580 inlet connectionOk good, thank you!

yea that should workDo you think this gas analyzer is suitable for our nitrogen testing?
Analyzer in a bag and then fill in nitrogen? Probably imprecise.Yeah it's viable too.
Getting an empty cylinder isn't really an issue, it's getting an empty cylinder you own filled. Local welding/brewing suppliers seemed to have stopped doing it for new customers at some point in the past, though they'll do it for if you're already registered as a customer from before (not sure when this happened). If I really want my own cylinder filled, I was told I'd have to go to a different AirGas branch (located in the industrial sector of town), pay for them to check certification, and wait anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for them to ship it to a fill facility, receive it back, and have me pick it up. Easiest and cheapest way is to just pay $140-160(?) for a used cylinder pre-filled at a local branch.So amateur welders can only get inert gas cylinders at AirGas?
