Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so I'm sorry if I post in the wrong spot.

I've decided to end my life by nitrogen asphyxiation, however I have a few questions. I spoke with a nearby welding supply company and will soon purchase what the guy referred to as "food grade nitrogen". Food grade nitrogen just refers to the purity right?
This may be kind of a silly question but when using a regulator it won't come out as liquid nitrogen (the super cold stuff), right?

Your buying a gas not a liquid. At least you should be for exit bag.

Medical, industrial, and food grade are normally as purity stated. 98 to 99.8% is normally what you'll come across.

Its a gas. Not at all a liquid. I dont want this to come across mean. But we have solids, liquids and gases right? Are you sure your prepared for exit bag. Be careful.

I would recommend that you read over some resources:
  • Five Last Acts - The Exit Path by Chris Docker
  • Inert Gas Cylinder & Regulator, General Refresher Summary
  • Peaceful Pill Handbook
  • Exit bag and inert gas megathread
The above resources are available on the forum.

I agree with what @IrRegularjoe wrote. This seems a little bit too advanced for you. Reading on this method is advisable as it could potentially lead to someone becoming a vegetable.

Just to make sure you don't hurt yourself. If you don't use a flow regulator, and just turned it on in a bag. You could rip a lung.

I've already ordered a regulator. I know the questions are a bit silly, I'm just scared and want to make sure I do everything right.

You need a regulator and a flow Meter to make the gas suitable for the exit bag. Liquid nitrogen is a complete different stuff.

Is this alone enough to act as a flow meter and regulator? And will attach directly into the cylinder? I calculated it and 30 scfh is about 15 lpm.
And I just add some sort of tubing to the end, right?

There is no rush, and others have given good advice. I think the resources listed previously as well as the exit bag megathread will answer 99% of questions you have.

Battlebunny, yes, that is a flowmeter regulator, so it allows you to adjust the flow rate to the desired amount on the meter. It will attach directly to a welding gas cylinder. I'm not sure about cylinders for brewing.
The flow rate of nitrogen will be different than what is shown on a flowmeter calibrated for argon or helium because they have different densities. I bought a flowmeter regulator for Helium since that's what I bought and I wanted to be sure the flow rate was correct. I recently posted about the one I bought with a hose barb adapter and another one for nitrogen I saw online.
