I've finalized the details of my nitrogen exit mask

[Jason0941]

I've decided to use a 40 ft^3 container, and a flow rate of 15 liters/minute. 40 ft^3 ~ 1132 liters. At a flow rate of 15 liters/minute: I'll have ~75 minutes of gas flow, which will be more than enough to test the setup, then make my exit from this world. My plan is to book a hotel on July 16th, and use my exit mask there. My cylinder will be carried in a backpack, and here's a link to a webpage from exitinternational.net which may recommend 15 liters/minute as the ideal flow rate https://www.exitinternational.net/research/gas-flow-control-kits/

I wish you the best in plans.

I wish you the best in plans.

thank you. What's your exit plan?

My cylinder will be carried in a backpack,

A 40 cu ft in a backpack? That's one big backpack. I like the idea that you've chosen a 40cf size, though. Better to have (a little) too much than not enough.

Hood, mask, or bag?

How have you connected the tube to the mask?

 

[Jason0941]

I'll use a mask. I decided to use 40 ft^3, because I know that I don't have enough gas: I'll wake up with brain damage, due to the oxygen deprivation. Such a scenario would make my situation far worse than it already is, so I realized that it's better to be safe and have excess gas, rather than to be sorry, be brain damaged, and fail my 2nd suicide attempt.

How have you connected the tube to the mask?

The mask should connect via the regulator that I'm using. I don't know if it's recommended to use an oxygen regulator for nitrogen gas. However: it's the only type of regulator that would potentially connect to my mask, and the only type of regulator that I could find that allows a flow rate of 15 liters/minute.

I've done a quick google search/chat-gpt inquiry concerning using an oxygen regulator for nitrogen and it seems to be a bad idea

"Oxygen and nitrogen are often used at different pressures and flow rates, and the regulators are tuned accordingly.
A regulator optimized for oxygen may not control nitrogen flow properly, leading to over- or under-pressurization."

Agreed here, your chances of failure go up if you're not using the right regulator/flowmeter for the gas, unless you've found multiple sources showing how to convert. Best of luck! My post history has some tips as well if you need it.

You really should use a regulator designed for inert gasses. Argon for instance

Do you know where I can find that type of regulator? I've tried looking for nitrogen regulators, but they all have pressure ranges from 0-3000 PSI (not the 15 liters/minute that I intend to use). So, I decided to use an oxygen regulator, instead.

 

[gottacheckout]

Argon regulators read in liters/minutes. It should fit you nitrogen cylinder. There is a small adjustment that needs to be made because of the difference in the gasses but a quick search of this site will tell you what it is.

I wish this method wasn't so complicated. Seems like the most peaceful way to go. Wishing you the best outcome.

Thank You very much for your kind words.

Hope you don't suffer. I wish I could work it out
