What do we think is the best excuse when collecting a gas cylinder? I think saying that you're using the gas to fill tyres is the best because everyone has access to tyres presumably and anyone might desire an oxygen free environment for their tyres. Although I think it maybe best to say bike tyres?? Because car tyres are really big requiring a lot of gas and that would be contradictory to the relatively small cylinder that you're collecting.
Over here there are at least 2 shops where you can order online and delivered or pick it up at a delivery point. Helium = welding, Nitrogen = beer brewing (not common, but it can be used for that). Both for my uncle whose regular supplier went broke and who doesn't know anything about ordering on the Internet.

I've never tested mine for leaks, no need to, because Greenberg always stated to always use a wrench to tighten it securely
Well, I'm glad I did. I thought I'd tightened it secur
Well, I'm glad I did. I thought I'd tightened it securely but apparently not. It's because I watched some videos about attaching a regulator and they warned about exerting too much force and damaging the threads. I suppose that's for when you intend to use it more than once though, which we mostly don't (unless you want to practice assembling the setup first, of course). Any thoughts about the question regarding the pressure drop?
You can buy oxygen tubing from a pharmacy (or Amzn) as well. I think they're about 6 mm.

The smaller it is the more likely it's going to get stuck in your mouth while breathing. I think that's the logic behind the size.
I think it also has to do with the amount of gas you need to create and sustain an oxygen-free environment. But maybe I'm wrong.

I kinda almost accidentally ctb in the process...
I tried the soap test for leakages and I put on my EEBD with the gas on to see there was enough going through and no leakages (aside from underneath the tube of EEBD?). Suddenly I could see my room and next thing I was falling back and heard my door bang and took off the hood immediately. Accidental stupid suicide would be the most fitting way to go the way my life is lol.

Is there a way to safely test if the set up works without buying dummy head you would put the hood on?

I'm glad you tested for leaks too--But in my case, with the EEBD Hood, I tested the setup on myself at 25 LPM, after just 5 breaths or so and then taking the Hood off, my Oxygen level dropped from 98 to 40! can't be any leaks with those sorts of results

If you're using an exit bag, then you can put the bag on top of your head, open the valve to fill it up, then turn off the valve and pull the bag down. You should be out in 3 minutes or less. I realize this is not for everybody; I'm not a big fan of it either. Also, I don't think you can do this with an EEBD.
I thought you pass immediately after like 2 breaths.
In 'Uitweg' (Dignified Dying) by Boudewijn Chabot there are numbers of 7 persons who used nitrogen (numbers are roughly the same for helium): they all lost consciousness between 34 seconds and 1 minute 59 seconds. If you're not out after 3 minutes, then something's wrong (leaks, oxygen in helium, ...).

Never--As a matter of fact, both Das-Nichts(who passed out and was only saved by hitting his head)and I saw nothing happen after the first two breaths, we thought, 'Is this thing even working!?'--But that's just the delayed reaction in the Nitrogen reaching the fingertips

Let me add something else too regarding leaks--I have a 3500 Liter tank, huge--Although the PSI has dropped from 2200 to 1600 in 2.5 years, there is still enough Nitrogen in that tank to kill me 12 times over

Good info there--Yes, after about 5 breaths or so, 30 seconds maybe, I was feeling maybe a bit lightheaded--I took the Hood off after my oximeter dropped to 77, it then continued to plummet to 40, a delayed reaction

1 minute 59 seconds is too long, it's a sign that something's wrong with the setup or with breathing. In case of hyperventilation with nitrogen, loss of consciousness may happen in just 17-20 seconds


If you breathe normally, the time before LOC probably increases (in relation to the one that can be achieved with overbreathing), but not too much. If fainting doesn't happen in 1 minute, I'd be suspicious about the setup.

Method Tutorial - Graphical w parts lists etc

I am in the process of writing a visual guide (hopefully in pdf format or other) for these inert gas methods.
I have graphical images for various set-ups etc.

But needing someone(s) to help with reviewing these or procuring more images for various set ups.

I have set ups for USA connections and parts....nothing at the moment for UK or EU...this also where I need input.

I don't want to unload this on the general forum with inaccurate information. So will need someone to help who will not release it prematurely.

PM me if interested.

Brother, the PPH has been revised a number of times. Science in general is being constantly revised due to past mistakes. That's just how information in general works. It's unlikely that you will provide an immaculate piece of work that will never be refuted in the future. You should just openly discuss what you have but be clear about how certain/uncertain you are of some things.

I'm from the UK so I can talk from that perspective. After talking to welders, I was told that argon regulators are created for more precise flowrates whereas nitrogen regulators are created for adjustable cylinder pressure and no care for flowrate due to the different common use cases of each gas. So I've actually bought a nitrogen cylinder but an argon regulator which I'm picking up tomorrow so you can ask me about it then if you want. There are also such things as dual stage regulators which are specifically designed for precise constant flowrates. The usual single stage regulator is not necessarily designed for that and is usually more focused on maintaining the cylinder pressure. Actually, everything I've said here is universally applicable, not just for the UK.

FYI all 7 people died; no pulse at the neck occurred between 7:25 and 16:30. The person who lost consciousness after 1 minute 59 died within 8:56. The quickest loss of consciousness was after 34 seconds. It just shows it's not the same for everyone.

So what your saying is not true. Chabot states for helium and nitrogen, loss of consciousness:
- 30 seconds if it's fast
- 1,5 minutes if it's slow
- not out after 3 minutes then there's something wrong

Also, hyperventilating isn't really necessary.

The study you cited said the flowrate was 80lpm though. It's also a different method of delivery. They aren't using a plastic bag.

It doesn't show that the difference is determined by physiological properties of the subject, since the time to LOC highly depends on the technique of breathing. Hyperventilation with pure inert gas gives you the quickest onset and the lowest possible time, while breath holding (implying a lack of ventilation) gives you the largest possible time to LOC (that can be 4 minutes or more).

It's possible to imagine lots of intermediate conditions between hyperventilation with inert gas and the absence of ventilation. The protocols for exit bags described in PPH/PPeH suggest that you exhale as much air as possible prior to putting the bag over the head, then make a deep inhale when the head is placed inside the bag. If you skip these steps, you delay the onset in relation to the lowest time achievable with hyperventilation. If you do short rare breaths in addition to this, you delay the onset even more, so those monstrous 1:59 could be achieved without having some extraordinary physiological properties.

If you minimize the amount of air prior to breathing with inert gas as suggested and don't slow down your breathing too much afterwards, 30 - 60 seconds before LOC would look reasonable. But 1.5 minutes or more would look weirdly.
Also, hyperventilating isn't really necessary.
It's unnecessary, but the time to LOC measured with hyperventilation can give us some interesting data regarding how fast unconsciousness can be achieved, and it's possible to estimate approximate time to LOC depending on how far the actually used technique is from the fastest method.

Guys, you cannot buy high purity inert gas in the UK. It's become a controlled substance due to ctb apparently. You have to be able to demonstrate that you're using it for business purposes;-;. Wtf am I going to fucking do?

What's your opinion on other (impossible to control) methods such as full hanging, partial hanging, or night-night?

My country's government does not impose those kinds of restrictions your government does, but should I (somehow) get denied the right to purchase inert gas, I'd turn to the methods I mentioned before.

How about moving to another European country that doesn't regulate inert gas like the UK does? If you have the money to buy the equipment required to do what you want to do, then I'd dare to say you have additional resources to buy a train/plane ticket and reserve a hotel room on those countries.

If you're ready to consider unpopular methods of gas asphyxiation (including those which do not rely on maintaining a constant gas flow), you can notice that CTB through asphyxiation is doable with non-inert gases like nitrous oxide, R-134a, R-152a, propane, butane, and others.

I've perused the hanging threads . Tbh I haven't really seen anything useful . This method is great because it's a strict step by step with exact equipment specs etc. I didn't see anything like this for hanging , but would be interested if a member had a link to good info .
Hanging seems to work lol . Seems easy to knock yourself out by cutting off for circulation in neck , I'd just want to see best type of rope and knot etc . Partial hanging way more easy to stomach than full suspension

ya leaks are def a concern but more in the regulator threads / hose etc. you can check for leaks in the bag by inflating it then feeling for leaks . Can check the threads and tube with soap water and check for bubbles .One of the videos demonstrated this , not Betty but another one .

But like I said I don't think I see a problem with double bagging if it makes one feel
More comfortable . But I just know the bags are fucking insanely durable , at least the brand I have . I've been at it for a couple years tons of bags tons of tests never seen one leak .

Now if you leave one out and the cat claws it or something I could see it . But I make sure nothing touches mine .
would it be possible to use a scuba mask instead? just connect the scuba
Interesting idea . I don't see a problem with it . Only thing is I haven't heard of bag leaking being an issue . Even if there were micro holes in the bag I think it would still function , air wouldn't get in because of the positive pressure .
Think about it … there's basically holes in the bottom of the bag around your neck , it's not air tight . But anything to feel more comfortable. Why not .

I did my usually daily attempt and chickened out as usual and got mad and tried to rip the bag and I honestly couldn't . The bags are freaking durable . Theyr Meant to cook a turkey at 350 degrees for several hours .
why not a scuba mask?

how much would it cost?
is 200 bar good enough? and idk what I is.
l = liter

Your cylinder mentions 200 bar, but it doesn't mention liter. However, is does mention volume (0.6m³). But I don't how to convert that to compressed gas (liter).

hey guys
my attempt last week got thwarted because someone i care about figured out what i was doing and i got my supplies taken away. i'm just glad i managed to avoid another psych ward visit. now that i'm home after the holidays i'm planning on trying this week. i have new things coming in tuesday so i'll be ctb either tuesday or wednesday. what i'm worried about is that the person who figured out what i was doing ended up talking to me about the risks of this method. he said he researched and heard about people's lungs exploding because of this. does anyone know if that's true? i just really want a painless way out.

Never heard of lung exploding . 99.999% sure that's BS. No scientific reason that would happen . You're just breathing air.. tht has a little bit more nitrogen than normal air.
Risks of brain damage with failed attempt , but literally every suicide method hs this risk

And even that. There are reports of survivors that used helium and survived, no damage at all.
