tested two cartridges. nothing new to report. got a little dizzy but not enough to kill me. have one left and after this I'm giving up on the device altogether. it's been an expensive and disappointing endeavor.
no leaks. just doesn't work as it's intended.
I think if you take short shallow breaths, the oxogen doesn't filter through the chemicals so your essentially breathing in carbon dioxide. The best place for this would be in and underwater environment so that you can't take it off after panicking. My dads friend had an accomplice who died like this. There's a certain book on diving that has that part of the incident explained in more detail, I might link? Anyways, seems like a painless way to CTB. Essential you get dizzy and pass out and drown without the pain of knowing it.
I have only tried the ReBreather III one time, and had the same experience of the bag deflating. I don't think this product works.
you need a tank that is at least 40 cubic feet. it probably weighs around 70-80 pounds. buying the tank and measuring it would be a good idea before getting a bag to conceal it since bags will come in different sizes. you will be able to carry it by yourself but it may take you putting the bag down and lifting it up a few times.
I have posted every response he's given me in the thread. the last one he sent to me was something along the lines of "if you try my recommendations and I don't hear from you, I'll assume the device worked." he's very clearly tired of having me reach out to him.
I encourage you to write him again. I'm sure as a businessman he'd much rather hear from you again and continue to try to fix the problem than have the SanSui community convinced his product does not work and is a ripoff or scam. He's put a lot of time, money and effort into his business (product design and redesign, parts supply chain, website, warehousing, various contracts, etc), and he wants profits, not complaints. He wants a good reputation that drives sales and makes him money. A bad reputation kills sales and will kill his business. Give him another chance to make it right.
I have nothing else to say at this point. it's been a month and a half. gone through seven nitrogen tanks. paid for the device and shipping. it's cost me over $500. with him constantly adding steps to the instructions such as attaching another canister once the bag is filled, more development and research should have gone into the device. we are not Guinea pigs. we're people struggling financially, emotionally, and at the end of our ropes. when something doesn't work that you buy at Walmart, what do you do? return it. sure, this is a more delicate matter, but the rebreather has gone through three separate releases and there have been complaints that not a single variant has worked. it's predatory and taking advantage of a population that doesn't deserve to suffer anymore. I'm not going to keep corresponding with someone who is offering suggestions rather than solutions.
@jacrispy All good points. I guess I'll stop recommending people look into it. I guess I'll have to figure out something else for myself too. (alcohol poisoning?) But I probably have a year or two before needing to CTB. Maybe Sarco pod then? (Costs? Waiting line?)
it's not just me who's had the issues, there was another user @BlueMouse who tried to CTB in a hotel room with the rebreather and failed to do so. if we both followed instructions and had the same thing happen it's an issue with the device rather than one with the user. it's just sad putting months of research and effort into something for it to not work. I'm not only out of money but also time and effort. when getting out of bed and performing daily tasks like eating, showering, brushing your teeth is daunting, having to fail to end your life when a product was claimed to be effective is absolutely soul crushing. everyone on this forum is here for the same end goal. my struggles are no more important or significant than anyone else's by any means. I was looking to help people and even failed at that, which only makes me feel worse.
I'm in my 20s. don't have access to the EXIT forum so can't comment on that aspect of things. Richard has been doing this for decades. imagine how much worse this could've been had the device only partially worked and someone ended up with brain damage or a vegetable. money, time, effort, research, all went to waste.
Please do not blame yourself, It's not your fault you keep on getting insufficient responses from Richard.
You haven't failed anyone here, man. I wasn't aware of bluemouse's attempt. Big side eye to RB3
Do you order these from the US? Can u DM me the name of the place u ordered from? Thank you so much.
This is so f**king complicated I have a headache. I wanted something easy to understand b/c gasmonkey was waaaay over this damaged brain. Jesus. Why does everyone assume all people who want to CRB r well mentally capable people who can comprehend complicated instructions.
IIRC there was a link on the R2D Rebreather lll website. I think Amazon also carried them.
I agree.
AMEN! People don't get there r neurodivergent people or people w/dementia, brain injuries or people like me with damage from a car accident and from medications. I was taught in school to write directions for the person in the room least likely to understand then that person and everyone else can understand. Best to be too easy than too hard.
update 10/2024: to this date,i don't know anyone who bought version 1 or 2 that received a requested refund or an upgrade to version 3.
RA never refunded or upgraded anyone I know (several friends bought version 2). He didn't care at all.
to be honest I only had a few email conversations with him and bought both products, I do genuinely think it was not a scam , the product design was simply not effective, if you take the price I paid , I can't remember maybe 250 us, he had money in that getting manufactured and shipped from china , as well as research and design costs and mailing costs , I never really felt scammed just disappointed , all sounded so cheap and easy at the time , a revolution...but not lol. both units skipped a long time ago now
If every time u email someone and they give u different directions that require u to buy something else it's a scam
Directions on how to use the machine. This guy bought the R2 and it would never work so he'd email the designer and he send him even more directions. Usually that you had to buy more tanks.
