Help Test run for SN attempt

[Cataphract]

I am curious if i could try to test myself for the SN method. I know it's hard to drink it and not vomit, so is it a good idea to try drinking salty water to check if that would make me vomit? If not that is there another method to check your "endurace" like that?

Yes, I believe that's recommended in one of the guides.

I've dissolved 25g of table salt in 50ml of water and swished it around my mouth to see how bad it'd be. I don't recommend swallowing that much salt though. You're almost guaranteed to vomit if you drink water that salty.

Don't test with SN itself under any circumstance. There is a sticky thread that warns about not testing SN ahead of your CTB because a dose as low as 2-3 grams can be lethal. Some members have shared their stories of going to the hospital after doing a test run with SN.

As for testing with salt: sodium nitrite is 33.3% sodium and 66.7% nitrite; a portion of 25g contains 8.3g sodium. Salt is sodium chloride, which is 39.3% sodium and 60.7% chloride, so you would need 21.2g of salt. This is equivalent to 3.7 teaspoons of salt.

The solubility of salt in water at a temperature of 25C is 36.0g/100mL so you can dissolve the 21.2g salt in as little as 59mL water. You can round this up to 65mL to account for minerals and impurities in the water affecting the solubility of salt.

Don't have the salt with a meal (or shortly before or after), otherwise you'll retain it and feel uncomfortable for hours.

Sodium nitrite is about 50% salt IIRC, so you could try drinking 12.5g salt. Don't have it with a meal (or shortly before or after), otherwise you'll retain the salt and it won't be comfortable.

I think op was saying to test by drinking SALTY WATER, NOT ACTAUL SN.

It bears repeating for people who will stumble upon this topic and think about doing a test run with SN. Better be safe than sorry.

Do not do it with table salt. Do I with pink Himalayan sea salt.

What are the differences?

Be careful doing it with table salt too. It can kill you or make you sick if you take enough or if you have other health issues. I tried it at one point and I got through it, but I had abdominal pains I wouldn't consider normal. I don't think you're going to learn that much about how well you can tolerate SN by swallowing a bunch of salt water. Your body is going to reject it just like it will try to reject SN… you aren't really gaining anything from the experience. It's going to be difficult to keep SN down no matter how you shake it, that's why the extra glass of SN and antiemetic are necessary.
