Yeah it sucks losing people, but that's kinda the point of this site. Sometimes things just beat you down too much and when you hit that breaking point it's just too late. It would suck if he ctb without saying goodbye cause I know you two were close. If he did go then hopefully it was quick and peaceful.
he had a lot going on for sure, more than anyone should have to handle. you're right though, it's strange to make friends with someone on a suicide site then be sad that they're gone
I messaged with him a bit when he first joined the site. Really nice guy with a sad story.
he was a kind guy who got caught up in something most of us wouldn't dream could happen to us. shit sucks. hopefully he's at peace now
I am really sorry for you, this should not fail!
Much of the 9 pages is marginally related chit chat and redundant questions that could be answered by reading the instructions posted here 8 times, so it's not that bad. The biggest oopsy was the maker not clarifying the ideal position of the device at final use until asked. Official instructions should be revised
I'm so sorry that you have to remain here due to some bullshit. You deserve freedom and peace so here's to hoping that your next attempt at claiming it will be a successful one.
My only guess is the release valve opened too quickly
On the main site just scroll down to the link labeled instruction guide for the pdf. Right above video gallery
I was able to get more nitrogen from a local store and plan on testing it/using it again today. the pressure relief valve seemed to be open and the gas flowed too quickly. what most people would think is the "on" position ended up being the "off" position and vice versa. there are so many little details that need to be worked through, it's crazy.
zeusman in the thread also stopped answering my messages. think he used it successfully
Would you agree the official instructions need an overhaul? Omitting the important device positioning when in use, and probably other little things you noticed that weren't so clear cut? Feels that way to me.
"cool thanks man"
I sure hope Avocet—IIRC he's the designer behind it—knows about this thread and is monitoring it to fix issues ASAP.
@Wildfire4984 People who order it please post you order date; shipped date and arrival date
Fuck that sucks. For what it costs this is very disappointing to hear. You may want to reach out to them about the bag deflating before you even have it set. There has to be something faulty with your device somewhere. Maybe they'll send you a replacement or replacement parts.
Very upsetting. I wonder if these guys actually care to make sure their device works or if they're just trying to make a quick buck off vulnerable suicidal people. Really stooping to the lowest of the low if it's the latter. You should be refunded/sent a replacement
As I understand it the bag should deflate when you first inhale it's nitrogen into your empty lungs after attaching the device to the mask. Then when you first exhale the nitrogen and residual oxygen back into the device the bag should re-inflate. Then it repeats until you stop breathing: inhale, bag deflates as lungs inflate; exhale, bag inflates as lungs deflate. The nitrogen goes back and forth between bag and lungs as the lungs inhale and exhale.
Please describe in detail what happened. You emptied your lungs and attached the device to the mask before breathing in again? Then you took 3 breaths in and out and immediately disconnected the device because you weren't unconscious? Why?
Please do not do this.
yes, fully exhaled and attached the face mask to the valve. it says in the instruction manual that if you don't lose consciousness after 3 breaths or within 15 seconds to disconnect it immediately because there could be a leak or something else wrong with the device or face mask.
