Yeah, it was actually a little higher. Has anyone succeeded with argon? I'm starting to think it's just the wrong gas, but I don't know.

Any thoughts on eating or not eating before hand,anyone felt nauseous during it,is an empty stomach better to help with the possibility of being sick inside the hood from nerves or the gas making you feel wosey.?

inert gases can make you sick and feel queasy after long exposure, nitrogen and helium less and argon and other inert gases more. But since it happens so quickly (if doing it correctly) you will not have time to become sick and other effects will become more prominent like shortness of breath and increased hearth rate.

Onomatopoeia suggested not eating any sugars to lower the co2 byproduct you exhale combined with hyperventilating to minimize the feeling of being suffocated, this is more important with methods that don't vent the co2 like exit bag.

Nitschke says that you need to be able to breath deeply. You exhale completely to empty your lungs and hold your breath. You have to be able to hold for breath for at least a minute to get in his nitrogen chambers (or put the SCUBA mask on). You get in the chamber, press a button, and inhale deeply after you've been holding your breath for a minute. There will be little to no carbon dioxide exhaled because CO2 is not a byproduct of nitrogen. It's a byproduct of oxygen and sugar.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not to eat any sugar or sugary foods at least 48-72 hours before you CTB via SCUBA and nitrogen. If you get the mask on exactly right after exhaling and holding your breath, there will be virtually zero CO2 inside the mask. CO2 is what causes the suffocation effect, the pain if you will.

Inert gas methods all come down to lung capacity and health. If you cannot breath deeply and hold your breath because you have some sort of lung disorder or you smoke cigarettes, then this option is bad for suicide. Nitschke also says that in his nitrogen pods, people feel euphoria before losing consciousness in an environment with 100% nitrogen.

Is it scientifically proven? Have they cited any facts, any scientific studies to prove it? Are there people here with sufficient competence who can confirm it?

It just sounds strange to me. First of all, what kind of blood sugar are we talking about? Is it glucose? Glucose can come from more than just carbohydrates (sugars as they mentioned). Also, carbon dioxide is produced in the body by the metabolism of cells and organs, and I'm not sure that reducing sugar intake would affect that, but that's just my guess

I'm not arguing with you, I know you just quoted what they said

I'm not talking about hyperventilation only about sugar and co2

She linked an article under the quote I posted, but i did not really understand or connect how a lower sugar intake would lower the exhaled co2. I been searching for any more evidence but it's quite scarce, either it's not a well researched effect or there is no correlation. I found a study that showed increased co2 levels in diabetics, so it may have some impact? You seem more knowledgeable about medical science than I am.


Either way I can't say it matters in a significant way, co2 will always be exhaled and its effect is most prominent with exit bags since it has no exhaled valves.

Thanks for the reply

I also could not understand if there is a significant correlation and is it correlated with sugar or carbohydrates in general, but I have not delved deeply into this topic
btw this article is about carbon monoxide and not carbon dioxide

The quote from the article that she linked:
"The carbon we breathe out as carbon dioxide comes from the carbon in the food we eat. The carbohydrates, fat and proteins we consume and digest are eventually converted by a number of different biochemical pathways in the body to glucose (C6H12O6). The glucose molecule is then combined with oxygen in the cells of the body in a chemical reaction called "cellular oxidation". This chemical reaction is exothermic, that is, it produces the chemical energy that is needed to drive all the other chemical reactions and functions of a cell. The end products of oxidation of glucose are carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood, carried to the lungs by the circulation, and breathed out."

There are no words in the article that say that lowering sugar intake will lead to lowering exhaled carbon dioxide. I don't know why and from what she managed to draw this conclusion

Then we can probably dismiss this claim or downplay its significants to overcome SI. Unfortunate since exit bag users has reportedly having problem with rising co2 levels making them abort due to feelings of suffocation.

On a positive note we can have a last meal filled with sweets without feeling guilty.

Thank you for your critical thinking, enable us to learn more.

All those percentages would be fine.
I would be wary of the balloon helium being 99%, as there is no reason for it to be that pure.
They switched to about 80% He, 20% atmosphere to prevent ctb.
Many have not remembered to change the figures on their spec sheet.

Thank you. Yeah I don't trust the Balloon Helium either. Since they do actually fill it up themselves, from what I understand, even that should most likely be fine, but yes it's not worth the risk.
I wonder what the "purity threshold" for these methods is.
I mean 99% and up should be no problem, 80% would definitely not work, but what about 95% and such?
At which point would it become ineffective?
And, more interestingly, would 99,9% make a tangible difference to "just" 99%, I wonder?

Regarding my flow-rate problem:
Maybe I should just buy a 2 Liter tank, turn the flow-meter to 5 LPM (from Argon to Helium that should be 15 LPM) and watch how long it takes to run empty.
I've kind of done that with the testing of the Exit Bags and trying different flow-rates, but that's actually made it more difficult to get a clear picture.
Just letting a smaller tank run completely through might give me the best idea where I actually am, I think ...
Nitrogen would be a smart move.
Since atmosphere is something like 78% nitrogen, the difference wouldn't be noticable.
The densities of Argon, Nitrogen and atmosphere are very close, making the flow meter settings not so important.
Helium is much lighter, causing flow meter accuracy problems.
Helium is currently scarce, causing a significant cost increase.

Yes :hug::heart:

Yup, i'd be rid of the flow-rate questions, which remain my main concern.
Would have to buy a new regulator/flow-meter though. Hmm.
Ideal flow-rate for Nitrogen is 20 to 25 LPM, iirc?
Nitrogen is not as light and therefore ideal as Helium, bus does not have the Argon heaviness problem, right?
Helium being so light was originally why I decided to use it - it's supposed to be the most effective at pushing the heavier CO2 down and out of the bag...

Successful CTB's have been done with 15 LPM Nitrogen, but Vizzy set his at 20 LPM--My flowmeter goes from 15 to 25, not 20--But since I have a huge tank, I think I may go with 25 LPM

I ate plenty of sugar before my many Nitrogen Tests, made no difference whatsoever, no feelings of nausea, suffocation, or claustrophobia, everthing was smooth as silk

Wouldn't the flow rate decrease over time as the pressure in the cylinder decreases?

But maybe you have a two stage regulator that seems to be better at maintaining pressure and flow.

But I don't know for sure if the flow rate decreases over time and how much, I just heard about it and was wondering. Does anyone know? Is it significant?

I haven't really looked into it (as I'm still leaning towards using Helium) but did not find "real" Nitrogen regulator, just the usual O2/Argon ones - which isn't a big problem in this case, because Nitrogen is much closer in terms of density, I guess?

As far as I know the flow-rate should only really decrease right at the very end, when the tank is basically empty.
If one vs. two stage regulators make a difference in that regard I have no idea - I have one of those "floating ball" ones.

The human body has a marvelous survival instinct, even if our minds have given up the body will still continue to fight until it last breath. On that note we try to ensure a finite environment were the body cannot survive which is below 6% oxygen, the less oxygen the quicker the cells will die.

With a lesser pure inert gas than the recommended 97-98% it gives the body time to survive and prolonging ctb. Instead of the 12-15 min it takes normally it can take considerably longer as shown in the face mask case were a woman took 38 min to take her final breath. She successfully lost consciousness indicating her oxygen level was below 12% but not 0-2% like the others making her survive considerably longer. The same mechanics but the higher oxygen level slowed the rate of cell death.

She ultimately succeeded ctb but time is an issue here, if the gas would run out oxygen could replace the previous inert environment sustaining life which you possibly recovering with brain damage. Most setups don't have gas longer than 60 min so quickness is a factor to consider.

Can't image a significant difference between 99% pure to 99.9 %

The flow rate would be affected when the pressure is lower than the set operating pressure of the flowmeter, in my case something like 30 psi.

A closed circuit system like scuba/scba or any other method which doesn't allow air in the system would provide a failsafe, were when out of gas ordinary suffocation would commence. Or get a larger supply of inert gas, 10 liter cylinder with 200 bar would last you hour and a half at 20/lpm but still be manageable to move the cylinder around.

That's exactly what I'm planning to get. Just a little torn if it's going to be Helium again or if I should switch to Nitrogen.
I did look at the Neptune 3 initially but ultimately decided against it, because it seemed too complicated for me.
Which is probably not even true, but I have so little free time and very little energy when I do have time... making an Exit Bag and buying a Helium tank seemed much simpler...

I'm using nitrogen and the flowmeter is set at 20/lpm. The psi may be higher maybe 40-50 psi I don't know exactly but it's pretty low. The flowmeter wouldn't be affected until the cylinder is almost empty.

And how could the pressure in the cylinder decrease? After all, the cylinder is filled with gas at a pressure of 150 bar or 200 bar, for example ...
And it turns out that the amount of gas in the cylinder should change if you use it, but not the pressure under which this gas was pumped into the cylinder

As I understand it, the pressure and the amount of gas can decrease over time due to small leaks, and the pressure decreases because the amount of gas decreases, because the very large amount of gas in the tank creates that pressure, but I'm not sure

ok… new member longtime suicide venturer but I have ridiculous SI , huge fear of failure and being vegetable because I do not trust anything in life especially after how it's gone . To wimpy for firearms but might go this route because less chance of SI ruining the attempt , but it's freaking tough to do. Prob got mentally closest with shotgun method , Nembutal owner but can't figure out the exit test kits, never works, and my brain is fucked and doesn't metabolize drugs correctly and I get horrendous unspeakable reactions from this drug class ( gaba agonists ) . Anyway…the exit bag method

I've had a 20 cf nitrogen tank for a few years , made several exit bags , different elastics , headband , I pull it over my head most nights to try and get used to it , never started the gas though. After reading through the thread I decided to get a 40 cf , starting to feel a little better about it because gas running out was a large fear. My questions are

1. Size of the chord..I cannot find a toggle large enough for the half inch elastic recommend …anywhere ..tried hard… I have pretty small elastic( less than the recommended 5/8 inch), but this shouldn't really matter right ? As long as not too tight and not too lose , you should be able to slip a finger under it , it should be fine ? This doesn't seem to be a main source of failure but want to make sure

2. Gone crazy with the step of taping the tubing to the bag. Ppeh had a ridiculous complex explanation of this ( cut two slits in duct tape and feed a wire tie through it ) etc, also says the Betty video shows how to do this..took me forever to find the Betty video and it doesn't say anything about this . Shouldn't you just tape the tube inside the bag 5-8 cm from ththe bottom and that be totally fine ?this shouldn't matter much I feel?

3.the use of micropore tape. I feel it sticks pretty well…but duct tape and packing tape seem to stick way better ..is there a reason other than sticking power that these tapes aren't used?

4. Failures.. and why they happen. If the nitrogen is tested,40 cf tank, max dog regulator at 15 lpm, turkey exit bag made correctly , bag filled up till it's like a balloon on forehead, rapid hyper breathing for 2 minutes, huge exhale even longer than you usually exhale , then biggest breath you can possibly take , sitting upright in a chair , tank strapped down so it won't fall, this shouldn't fail right?
I think maybe people don't take a big enough breath and it takes longer to blackout and they get SI ?
For something such heavily advocated in th community , I see an awful lot of failure stories , some horror stories with the brain damage . I understand there's failure with any method and it's just about finding one you're comfortable with to do nature best chance

5. Is it a good practice to follow the procedure , and if you don't pass out in a breath or two than bail on the attempt ? This thinking I feel will help my SI restrictions possibly. Or is this not recommended ? I've seen people say you don't get brain damage unless you pass out , and the attempt is subsequently botched for other reasons

I believe with more sugar/carbs cellular respiratuon increases. During this process the cells produce CO2. This is then carried by the blood stream and out the lungs. Hence more sugar > more cellular respiration > more CO2.

(Just speaking as a possible answer. Please do not take my word as fact.)

If the nitrogen is tested,40 cf tank, max dog regulator at 15 lpm, turkey exit bag made correctly , bag filled up till it's like a balloon on forehead, rapid hyper breathing for 2 minutes, huge exhale even longer than you usually exhale , then biggest breath you can possibly take , sitting upright in a chair , tank strapped down so it won't fall, this shouldn't fail right?
I think maybe people don't take a big enough breath and it takes longer to blackout and they get SI ?
For something such heavily advocated in th community , I see an awful lot of failure stories , some horror stories with the brain damage . I understand there's failure with any method and it's just about finding one you're comfortable with to do nature best chance

5. Is it a good practice to follow the procedure , and if you don't pass out in a breath or two than bail on the attempt ? This thinking I feel will help my SI restrictions possibly. Or is this not recommended ? I've seen people say you don't get brain damage unless you pass out , and the attempt is subsequently botched for other reasons
There are no failures with Nitrogen if done with an EEBD Hood--I just did a retest with my pulse Oximeter, and my O2 level plummeted from 97 to 40 after just 6 breaths(ten second delay)--If I had taken a few more breaths, i wouldn't be here anymore

Ok, i did another test with my Nitrogen Tank and the EEBD Hood--After 5 or 6 breaths at 25 LPM, my O2 level dropped from 97 to 80, I then felt a little faint, took the EEBD Hood off--In the next 10 seconds, my O2 Level dropped all the way to 40!--Nitrogen really eliminates Oxygen in the body quite quickly and effectively

thank you for sharing, it's so fast

do you know approximately how long it took? i mean first 5-6 breaths

ok… new member longtime suicide venturer but I have ridiculous SI , huge fear of failure and being vegetable because I do not trust anything in life especially after how it's gone . To wimpy for firearms but might go this route because less chance of SI ruining the attempt , but it's freaking tough to do. Prob got mentally closest with shotgun method , Nembutal owner but can't figure out the exit test kits, never works, and my brain is fucked and doesn't metabolize drugs correctly and I get horrendous unspeakable reactions from this drug class ( gaba agonists ) . Anyway…the exit bag method

I've had a 20 cf nitrogen tank for a few years , made several exit bags , different elastics , headband , I pull it over my head most nights to try and get used to it , never started the gas though. After reading through the thread I decided to get a 40 cf , starting to feel a little better about it because gas running out was a large fear. My questions are

1. Size of the chord..I cannot find a toggle large enough for the half inch elastic recommend …anywhere ..tried hard… I have pretty small elastic( less than the recommended 5/8 inch), but this shouldn't really matter right ? As long as not too tight and not too lose , you should be able to slip a finger under it , it should be fine ? This doesn't seem to be a main source of failure but want to make sure

2. Gone crazy with the step of taping the tubing to the bag. Ppeh had a ridiculous complex explanation of this ( cut two slits in duct tape and feed a wire tie through it ) etc, also says the Betty video shows how to do this..took me forever to find the Betty video and it doesn't say anything about this . Shouldn't you just tape the tube inside the bag 5-8 cm from ththe bottom and that be totally fine ?this shouldn't matter much I feel?

3.the use of micropore tape. I feel it sticks pretty well…but duct tape and packing tape seem to stick way better ..is there a reason other than sticking power that these tapes aren't used?

4. Failures.. and why they happen.
