What does 2.8 mean ?
The first digit specifies the number of "nines". The second digit is the actual last digit after the decimal point.
2.8 corresponds to a purity of 99.8%. The highest commercially available purity is 6.0, which corresponds to 99.99990%.

I think I have the supplies needed but just want to clarify everything is good to go before I proceed as I don't want to screw up and get brain damage or experience any pain.

Please please advise!! This post makes me think I'm doing everything wrong because I only have 3 pieces of equipment!!

I am hoping his excellency @GasMonkey will reply :hihi:

I have:
  1. EM's SCBA mask
  2. EM's Americana Nitrogen Flow Regulator
  3. 40 Cubic Foot Industrial Grade Nitrogen Tank
There are a couple things I am still unsure about:
  1. The end of the hose that connects to the mask has an ON and OFF button. How do I operate these/which buttons should I press when? This is my biggest concern preventing me from following thru as I really want to avoid breathing in CO2.
  2. What do I need to use the pressure gauge on the regulator for? Everything I've read seems to only put importance 15 LPM so please let me know if I need to use the PSI gauge
  3. You also said SCBA's don't rely on LPM and this confuses me. Do I not need a regulator now???
  4. Should I use a different regulator/flow meter?
Thank you!!!!!

Of course you can also the exit bag method.

Advantages of the inert gas diving method

NO shortness of breath and NO feeling of suffocation, as CO2 continues to be exhaled.
Inhalation of pure Helium or Nitrogen that is not enriched by exhaled breathing air
(with oxygen and CO2).
No risk of failure due to uncontrolled movements during unconsciousness or slackening of the muscles and a resulting change in body position.
Helium and Nitrogen are odorless and tasteless.
No danger to other persons due to escaping gas.
Unconsciousness occurs very quickly (only a few breaths).
Death after approximately 3 minutes in painless unconsciousness.
@befree

I tired but was unable to start a conversation with you. What do you think about this new 3rd version of the R2D DeBreather lll?

Sounds interesting. I wonder how they ship it (customs?!).

Right. Nasal breathing is difficult with this kind of rubber mask. Today I would suggest to use a Ocean Reef fullface mask:
Ocean Reef neptune space G divers or the newer version Neptune III (both with integrated 2nd stage) + Ocean Reef regulator.

Would this regulator flow meter from Harbor Freight work with nitrogen? My understanding is that argon and nitrogen have the same connections.

Regulator

No. You have to use the same equipment that divers use. You could lose the nose plugs or you could rebreathe oxygen through the mouth.
That´s why it´s so important that the mask fits airtight.

I don't the regulator in the picture has a flowmeter.
Also I do think that regulators for Argon do work with Nitrogen.I bought myself an Argon one myself and it fits with the nitrogen cylinder.

this is the method i've chosen as well. i have tons of dive gear, i'll just need the tank.

as a kid i practiced holding my breath and i would exhale underwater, catch the bubble, and re-breathe them. i was able to do this and stay under for ~7-8 minutes before i started to feel dizzy and stopped my experiment

pure nitrogen should make everything pretty easy
