problem with laughing gas is if you breath is pure it displaced oxygen and your body doesn't know its missing and you suffocate even though you are breathing... be careful with that stuff

This thread will get locked soon, I'm sure, but here it goes. NOS in those chargers is usually called whippets. Whippets are very fun and a little dangerous. Don't ever do more than 2, always have something soft begind your head (don't want to crack your skull), & don't do them consistently .

This is a good way to use it. Put this in the previous contraption, hit the lever and release the valve while inhaling. It will give you a short, intense rush and very minor hallucinations. DO NOT PUT A BUNCH OF CHARGES INTO A BALLOON AND INHALE ALL AT ONCE. You can freeze your lungs this way & die. If you just do 1 or 2 at a time you're fine.

Nitrous oxide... one of my favorites.:D

A few points:

1) Nitrous is much more dense than normal room air and will eventually push all breathable air out of any semi-sealed enviroment (small room or car). People have died on several times from this type of Nitrous use.

2) Use it in a ventilated room or outside. IMO.

3) Hand held punching bag type ballons work best for relaxed use. The type of ballon with a little elastic strap attached. They are strong and hold more NO2 than normal ballons.

4) Don't use Nitous by yourself. It's easy to "nod out" and it's best to have someone there to keep an eye on you.

5) High performance automotive nitrous has additives and is NOT to be used for recreation.

Party on!:beer:

The safety of it is that you are denying your brain oxygen, which leads to the euphoric effects. Deny your brain of oxygen for long enough, your brain will suffer damage.

Back in my party days we used to call Nitrous "Hippie Crack".... and everyone that did it with any kind of regularity was a loser, without exception. I've done it. It's lame. If you wanna get fvcked up there are much more enjoyable and healthy ways of doing it.

I borrowed those things from a friend once when I was in college. Used 'em to make whipped cream.

They were really pissed after I returned the (washed) contraption. Apparently, it wasn't completely dry, and when they used it for more illicit purposes than I did, they breathed in lots of little ice crystals. My friend: "I wouldn't have loaned it to you if I knew you were going to use it to make whipped cream."

The idea of someone getting mad at me for using something for its intended purpose rather than for drug use still makes me laugh.

why would you even think about putting yourself willingly in a position where you could die...

what you are thinking about has way to many unknowns

QFT, but I would watch shooting it directly into your mouth from the dispenser unless you have steady enough hands to ensure you are not launching an excessive amount in one blast. It would be beneficial to try shooting a tad bit into the air and stopping as soon as you hear the dispenser launch some NO out, just so you get a feel for the amount of pressure you will need in order to dispense the gas.

Personally, if I were to theoretically do this, I'd presume that dispersing the NO into a balloon using a whipped cream dispenser is a feasible option, assuming you hold the balloon closed for a couple of minutes prior to use to allow the NO to get closer to room temperature. Further, as someone else mentioned, it would be, theoretically, of course, advisable to be sitting in a chair or laying down when performing this activity, as the risk of falling is present (ie: sit in a chair with a table or something in front of you so you can't fall forward if you do pass out).
