• Hello Guest,

    We will not be following or complying with the Online Safety Bill that was recently signed into law in the UK. This bill will not affect the operations of the site, nor do we have a presence in the UK to receive notice or fines that the UK Government may impose.

    We would highly recommend that all users from the UK get some sort of VPN, and you should petition your lawmakers to let them know how you feel about this piece of draconian legislation.

ordered a helium tank off amazon, and an oxygen mask that I will rig to the tank. Has anyone tried this? Do you think this will be Lethal, hoping to get some insight so this plan doesn't fail.

A helium tank off of Amazon might not be pure - could still have some oxygen content. very likely that's the case because of various laws IIRC

The tank I purchased was filled in Germany and was said to be 99% pure, but I guess I have no way of actually knowing

You have to buy an adapter for the helium tank as well, and it must fit the country of origin of the helium tank. Also remember that the tanks from amazon may have some oxygen content.

And like @ClownWorld2023 said, test the oxygen concentration with an oxygen meter. Have a dummy head and put the oxygen meter inside of the headpiece with it and measure it. I think the oxygen levels must be under 1% or something but I’m unsure of that so don’t take it from me, do some research.

If you’re in the uk I have a couple of sources that claimed their helium was pure/99%, you can pm me if you like for those. (//edit: Nevermind I missed your second post saying that you got yours filled in Germany)
like the other members said I wouldn‘t try to use it without testing for oxygen. Also, my understanding is that a mask is not viable, as it’s hard to get a good enough seal. You need to construct an ExitBag.
