Method Has anyone been successful with SWB here ever? If not, what was the problem?

I've been deadset on H2S for almost a year now, but recently changed my mind over to either SWB or partial hanging, since I'm unsure about the efficacy, given the amount of supplies I had at that point. I have seen threads here praising SWB as the perfect method, while others claim it is unreliable. I know many people die accidentally from it, but I'm not sure about what hyperventilation technique I need to use for it to work perfectly or if I even have a chance. Is the key the fact these people were more experienced?

You can try to hold your breath after hyperventilation and find out what happens first: fainting or unbearable urge to breathe.

It's possible to inhale an asphyxiant gas such as nitrous oxide or 1,1-difluoroethane in order to expel both CO2 and O2 when the urge to breathe appears. Someone claimed that they failed SWB even with difluoroethane because of waking up after blackout, but I wouldn't fully trust such anecdotes.

H2S is good way, why do you think it may not be reliable?

I calculated my supplies for a much smaller room than where I wish to die. I can still do it, but it'd be quite uncomfortable either way. It's not like the method is entirely gone, but at this point I find it difficult to believe I can overcome SI with something that takes minutes to knock me out, especially since SI kicked in twice before while I was about to do it.. Plus, people have described it as an uncomfortable method before.
