Does anyone know what the purchasing laws /the availability of equipment is here in UK? I know helium is probably out of the question since all I can see are probably impure little balloon canisters online..
The EEBD masks you talk about are presumably SCBA(self contained breathing apparatus) masks. They have a different type of regulator and hose needed.Eebd mask
And these couplers seem to be required for the other eebd mask like drager, they have no hose outlet...the connection is called rd40 and seems to be for filters (font know what kind and if necessary if used off label) ... But from there... I dont understand how to connect this to the hose of the cylinder... As you said difficult to source..
And as you said there seemed to be differences regarding the types and exhalation capacity... I guess exit bag will be safer without references in my country... Would love to have a system already working for my country...
У кого-нибудь есть опыт работы с этими eebd hood от drager?
I recently haggled and was able to buy a new Drager Saver SF on the secondary market for about 20 euros. I had a hard time putting it on and had a hard time taking it off. It fits very snugly on my head, I wasn't expecting that. There is no connector on the end of the hose, I think only the Drager PSS hood has one. I don't have a caliper, I measured with a regular ruler and I got that the inside diameter of the hose is about 7 millimeters, it's probably 1/4 inch. I have attached a couple of pictures for those who might be interested in looking at itЯ больше не рекомендую спасательный капюшон Drager PSS. Два человека купили его и имеют проблемы с клапаном выдоха капота. Отныне используйте только капюшоны с внутренней маской, такой как китайская (используется клиентами EM, а также Vizzy и bennydiazapine) или Drager Saver CF или 3M Scott.
Yes, some people before found them a bit tight to put on, but if it's snug when you have it on, then that's good.I recently haggled and was able to buy a new Drager Saver SF on the secondary market for about 20 euros.

I don't recommend the Drager PSS rescue hood anymore.Two people bought it and have problems with the hood's exhalation valve.From now on, only use hoods that have an internal mask like the Chinese(used by EM's customers and Vizzy and bennydiazapine) or Drager Saver CF or 3M Scott.
Thank you again @Tears in Rain . I appreciate your help very much. I will buy the 10 liter cylinder then : ) Thank you!No problem.
I just posted about that above, before I saw your response. 40-50 litres is a lot, that's gonna be a big, heavy cylinder. Get a 5 or preferably a 10 litre. But obviously a 40-50 litre is fine if you can't get smaller and can transport it ok.
It can be confusing alright. They advertise the cylinders as litres in water volume in some countries, e.g. 5 litre, 10litre, 40 litre etc. To get the rough amount of compressed gas in litres, you multiply the water volume by the bar pressure. So a 5 litre cylinder at 200 bar pressure gives roughly 1000 litres of compressed gas. Confusing, I know!
That purity is fine. If you wanna be sure, you can test the purity yourself using an oxygen detector(but most people probably don't bother testing) Here's what @GasMonkey used:

They probably won't ask questions. Just say you or your partner are using nitrogen to make home brewed beer, if they do. Or for your uncle/brother/ father who's a welder.
The tubing goes on the outside of the regulator connection, on a thing called a hose barb that usually comes with the regulator. Here's a photo of @FailerQt.'s tube on the regulator hose barb, from the previous page on this thread.

You just need to get small mini hose clamps to secure the tubing (see their posts on the previous page).

I just noticed today that the PPH recommends using tubing with soft connectors at each end, because it makes a thicker connection for any hose clamp used:

No problem asking the questions.@Tears in Rain
Sorry, one last question ....... does anybody know what to do with the hands so that they won't rip the bag or take it off when unconscious ? Should them by tied ? how to do that?
You can tie your hands for reassurance, I would do that, although I don't know how necessary it might be.Sorry, one last question ....... does anybody know what to do with the hands so that they won't rip the bag or take it off when unconscious ? Should them by tied ? how to do that?

1)I don't think you're going to move much when unconscious, you're definitely not going to try and rip the bag off. People who have ripped the bag off have done it before going unconscious, due to s.i.@Tears in Rain @Username1
1. do you think that handcuffs are a good option? the chair I am using won't hold the other straps well, as the arm stand on its sides are too tall.... it won't tighten to my body (I am using an armchair). I am just wondering whether I'll be able to put the handcuffs to myself in time.... and whether they would prevent my hands from taking down the bag.
2)You could fill the bag with gas to test that there's no holes in it.2. do you know: how is it possible to prepare beforehand? I want to test that the bag works beforehand? should I use an oxygen meter to test that there is no oxygen inside the bag?
3)Yes, you attach the oxygen tubing to the hose barb. The hose barb usually comes with the gas regulator, separate in the box. You just have to screw it on to the regulator outlet, and then attach the oxygen tubing to the hose barb with one or two mini hose clamps. Was there a hose barb on the picture of the regulator, on the website you ordered it from?3. should I fix a hose barb to the regulator and put the oxygen tubing on the hose barb? is that a must? (are there different types of hose barbs in different sizes? I didn't receive my regulator yet and I don't want to buy the wrong barb - how do I know which one to buy?)
I came across a previous post of one lady's experience of collecting a nitrogen cylinder, if you want to check out her cover story:also, does anyone have a good cover story? I told that my family is opening a beer brewery and put me in charge on contacting suppliers... but I'm worried they will ask more questions....
Not tying my hands at all, the EEBD Hood is on very tight, and since you black out pretty soon with Nitrogen, there's no chance of ever ripping the EEBD Hood off@Tears in Rain

No, unless the valve is damaged or you open it.does the cylinder make noise?
If the pressure in the cylinder was way higher than in the ambient atmosphere, you had a strong flow of the gas coming out from the cylinder, and the amount of oxygen that could enter the cylinder due to thermal molecular movement is just miserable.Guys I may have fucked up. I have a 40L cylinder--bigger than smallest size suggested--but i just nudged the nozzle open for a split second by accident. Definitely less than a second!
Does this mean oxygen has entered, and the purity is compromised
I'm no expert in physics, but my intuition tells me that unless you did it in a room pressurized more than the tank, this shouldn't happenDoes this mean oxygen has entered, and the purity is compromised; do I need to
buy a new cylinder??
You might find useful information for yourself in this post:If I'm using the SCUBA method with enough gas to knock me out for at least half an hour is purity still paramount?
Can you elaborate the need for such a high purity? I don't see reasons why 98 - 98.5% Ar wouldn't work well enough.
98% Ar + 2% N2 should be okay, because N2 is just another inert gas.
98% Ar + 2% O2 should be okay, because concentrations of O2 below 6% are lethal and cause fainting quickly. [1]
98.5% Ar + 1.5% CO2 can be slightly worse but still okay, because concentrations of CO2 at 15000 - 20000 ppm cause mild effects during short periods of time [2], and you can hyperventilate to negate these effects.
guess we all have seen that videoPigs don't use exit bags ... hypoxic rooms, if only.
And just buy liquid nitrogen at your local welding supply shop. You just need cryogenic container that cost 100 bucks and they'll fill you up for two bucks a liter. 8 Liters of LN2 will rapidly begin degassing from liquid to gas at a rate of 1:695 liquid to gas expansion ratio, approximately 6m³ volumetric gas or 5,556 liters of gas from an 8Liter 3kg LN2 Dewar. Essentially enough to flood an entire car, so you have to crack a window open so that the cooler nitrogen fills up the car from the bottom out and forces out the composite atmospheric air
No, don't try to turn your car into a N2 tent; it will take too much N2 to fill the car and adequately displace the air. The reason a bag is used is to create a small space for the N2 to adequately fill.
Unless you have a very large supply of N2, and an air-tight car, turning your car into a super-sized exit bag won't work.
also i read about an engineer dying in a hospital after trying it. if an engineer cant set it up effectively....Ummmm so a professional anasthaeseologist and a bunch of UN guys say that Nitrogen asphyxiation would be not painless but in fact excruciating. What would motivate them to lie if it's a lie? This has me very concerned; it's tempting to think the mind / nerves would be the first part of the brain to die but it isn't hard to imagine the body somehow "waking you up" and instilling panic and agony.
Killing convicts with nitrogen is even worse than the lethal injection
Nitrogen hypoxia is the gaseous canister version of a knee on the neck. US states that plan to use it must be stopped.www.aljazeera.com
Don't listen to anti-death penalty ill informed zealots, Nitrogen and EEBD Hood is totally painless, taking deep breaths of Nitrogen is just like taking deep breaths of air, then you peacefully pass out, see Vizzy's and Greenberg's posts in this threadUmmmm so a professional anasthaeseologist and a bunch of UN guys say that Nitrogen asphyxiation would be not painless but in fact excruciating.

As of now, my method of choice is still inert gas (nitrogen), but after pondering all the mentioned methods in this board and reading scientific literature, I came to the conclusion that all off these methods come with a degree of violence. Killing a human being simply isn't easy. This is a fact all of us that want to cbt have to come to terms with. This too is true for nitrogen. Passing out from nitrogen is accompanied "on most occasions by a generalized convulsion" [1], you don't just fall asleep.Don't listen to anti-death penalty ill informed zealots, Nitrogen and EEBD Hood is totally painless, taking deep breaths of Nitrogen is just like taking deep breaths of air, then you peacefully pass out, see Vizzy's and Greenberg's posts in this thread

The question if there is an amount of pain is hard to answer because nobody who ctb'd can talk about what they experienced in the moments until their death. Obviously you can't just do experiments on humans. As far as I know there are just two papers where the process of ctb'ing with inert gas - in both cases helium - was scienfically obversed, the researcher in both cases was Ogden. In one paper he watched videos that were taken by the Swiss organisation Dignitas using oxygen masks, in the other paper he was present when two elderly women used the exit bag. In both papers the observations are described, I'll attach them so you can read for yourself. It is not for the faint of the heart. One paper also contains pictures of the deceased. Concerning pain, Ogden writes:
"While there was no evidence that the decedents experienced any pain, it was disturbing to witness preterminal gasping in both cases. In adults, gasping is witnessed in 30% to 40% of cardiac arrests. These 2 case reports are insufficient to determine any variability in human response to helium induced hypoxemia, but it is interesting that one decedent experienced no tremors or gross reflex, while the other one did. In an experiment using nitrogen for the euthanasia of dogs it was observed that while death in the canines occurred rapidly and humanely, there was also considerable variation in incidences of convulsion, gasping, and muscular tremor. The underlying reasons for these variations should be explored"
Believe what you want, but you're totally wrong, and you obviously have not read Greenberg's posts, please do not respond to me until you doWhat about the engineer story?
Why believe an anaesthesiologist is ill informed?
I don't believe that he is ill informed, I explicitely wrote that one cannot know for sure if there is an amount of pain. I myself am unsure and that's a big part that keeps me from ctb'ing with this method. The study I quoted just states that it didn't look like that they experienced pain, it doesn't mean that they didn't experience it.Why believe an anaesthesiologist is ill informed?
Because like most educated and civilised people, it is likely that he holds the opinion that the 'death penalty' Southern States are a pack of tobacco chewin' good old boys running a corrupt penal system for profit. A less inflammatory notion is that using medical products (see pentobarbital) for killing people has ethical considerations. In doubt? See Edisons testing of the electric chair on an ELEPHANT in the early 20th century !!!What about the engineer story?
