Exit bag question

[SomewhereAlongThe]

I'm wondering how likely it is to survive with brain damage. If I test everything, there's no leaks, no holes in my bag, gas is pure, and I put the bag over my head and tighten it around my neck using the two finger method, what's the chance of brain damage? I know it's not likely for me to rip the bag off my head while I'm unconscious, but is there any other risk?

The chance of course depends on your setup. Without any leaks, the biggest issue is the amount of gas. The flow needs to be right otherwise CO2 build-up might wake you up after brain damage has occurred.

If you're using a helium canister, getting the flow right can be tricky and the large nitrogen canisters require expensive regulators. But if you manage to get those working, failure is pretty much impossible. There's enough gas in there for hours!

I didn''t realize this about the flow, what regulator do you suggest? Do you have a link (I live in Canada) I could use? And how do you test the flow to make sure it's perfect?

This is the regulator I'm using https://www.amazon.ca/RX-WELD-Regulators-Regulator-Compatible/dp/B08NSKGKBX/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=tbq9l&content-id=amzn1.sym.48339a91-1cf1-4c2b-9f3b-f5c418c8ca29:amzn1.symc.ebdd2303-2907-45b9-b343-3896226c508a&pf_rd_p=48339a91-1cf1-4c2b-9f3b-f5c418c8ca29&pf_rd_r=78ZFC5DGP289FMF7ZD3Q&pd_rd_wg=vlJgF&pd_rd_r=8082e18d-65bf-405d-99e8-437d4cb28e04&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d

But it's cheap and it's meant for argon and helium, when I'm using a large nitrogen cylinder.

Thank you!!

Edit: A lot of expensive regulators I'm seeing here only have PSI not LPM, so how do you convert that so that it's 15 LPM?

That regulator looks pretty good actually. It's not explicitly for nitrogen but helium and Argon are mentioned, which are similar gasses. At worst, the flow reading might be a bit inaccurate. The connection is likely to be suitable for nitrogen tanks.

Also be careful that the nitrogen tank doesn't exceed the pressure rating of 300 bar.

If you want, drop the link for the tank you are using to verify that it's compatible with the regulator.

Wilsonie above just said that this is a good regulator. I disagree, you need a regulator that has a 1/4 inch barb on the outlet. Otherwise you'll need some kind of adapter to connect your hose.

Edit: I was wrong, I didn't see the Amazon listing correct. It has a 1/4 inch barb adapter and will work just fine.

As for psi vs lpm. Those are two different measurements. Psi tells you how much has is left in your tank. In North American tank generally sits at around 2200 psi when full. 1100 psi would be half full. Lpm on the other hand tells you the flow rate currently coming out of the tank. A lot of regulators measure in cfh (cubic feet per hour.) This is fine too, just look up an online calculator to convert cfh to lpm. 15 lpm is equivalent to approximately 32 cfh.

Also I just sent you a PM.

Thank you for taking a look at my regulator. I did a conversion kPa to Bar using chat GPT and it said it's only at 168.2 bar.

Here's the link https://www.weld-techproducts.com/_files/ugd/ba2cd3_532d95a6f3334c72b2c299e73d3f378c.pdf

I'm getting the size 16

I was wondering, how do you test to make sure the flow is right?

Good choice of tank. Peaceful pill recommends a flow rate of 15L per minute to have a peaceful death. There's a gauge on your regulator that has the label "l/min". Set it to between 15 - 20l/min once you begin.

I assume you are familiar with the rest of the instructions.
Pease take care. I do not know you or your circumstances but I hope you find peace either in life or in death and I'm sorry it has come to this :(
