You guys seen this yet? The leading manufacturer of disposable helium cannisters (e.g 'Balloon Time' tanks) is now officially diluting with oxygen. They no longer contain pure helium.
Balloon Time helium is no longer a valid option for a peaceful way out because that oxygen in the tank will keep you alive. What the fucking fuck.

Got two of the last balloon time tanks filled with pure helium up in my room ready to go. Anyone who's been planning their suicide for the past year or more should have seen this coming with all the hullabaloo about the helium shortage. No worries though, you can still go to your local gas supplier and get it.

I thought it was pretty hard to get gases like helium outside of the balloon time, consumer grade tanks.
All the times I've looked online the only places that seem to be selling it are those who sell to businesses. Like you need a business license and shit to purchase the gas.

I believe they are diluting it because there i
s a shortage of helium. Does anyone know how easily obtainable pure nitrogen is?

>Does anyone know how easily obtainable pure nitrogen is?
About as equally obtainable as pure Helium at this point. Or Argon or other common, nonreactive gas. I've been looking it up and it seems that you cannot actually buy large cylinders but you can rent them from certain places.
But nothing as convenient as walking into a party supply store and buying a disposable cannister that you actually own.

how much should the helium be pure to kill yourself?
i found a local shops that can sell me a tank of 98%-99% helium, is that enough?
23ce53 No.8688
>>8687
Fuck yes that's enough. For comparison, oxygen content of regular air is about 21%.
Go forth and die, anon. And would you maybe care to tell us where you got it from, for the benefit of others?

thanks, ill drive by to pick it up tomorrow
its a small business near my town, they dont even deliver, so unless you live in 972 i cant really help you
i called up party businesses and told them i need the helium quite pure for my son's chemistry project, didnt get any suspicion.

Derek Humphry, the originator of the helium exit bag method, just posted this to his blog:

If you're outside of the US/CA, and you don't have access to a welding supply store in your country, I'm afraid you'll have to look to other methods for a painless suicide.
However, if you're not a yank and your passport is up to date (like most non-yanks), and you don't mind a jaunt across the pond, then you should have no problem getting ahold of pentobarbital/nembutal in Peru. [Note: Mexican/American border town vet shops will no longer sell pentobarbital/nembutal to inquiring "tourists".]

They have been adding oxygen to disposable helium tanks for a long time now. You can still buy pure helium from industrial suppliers but you need a buy a tank or rent. You also need a regulator since the pressure is too high.

I would rather just use propane at this point now.
You can get propane without oderants added from petrochemical suppliers. It's also sold at AC shops as R-290 which is pure propane without any extras.
Propane has no natural smell and is a clean and efficient way to die I tell you what.

I can't say for sure but it seems as if there are still some pure ones out there? Helium is running out so it makes sense they start limiting it for stuff like this, especially since they have become very popular in suicides.
Look around and ask around for pure helium (or whatever), perhaps if you say you wanted it for a science experiment and it must be pure you'd have better luck?

Good luck, hope I won't be too far behind you.
a question that is nagging me though is what would happen if you or I somehow fail? Can you risk brain damage or vegetablization with the helium method?
869b2c No.10512
>>10511
Yes there is a risk of that happening but it depends how early or how late you fail. If you fail or puss out early nothing bad happens but if you pass too much time with low oxygen in your brain and fail, get "saved" or puss out too late you can suffer brain damage ranging from memory loss to going full potato.
At least that's what I have seen written in the internet, if you want to try it I think you should go ahead since there is no 100% failsafe method in this world but make sure your helium is pure, set the right release pressure(too high will fuck your lungs), make sure your mask is tight and will not fall off your face or leave an opening which the gas can escape and allow air to flow in, make sure no one will interrupt you and the most important: be sure that you truly are ready to die.
0827de No.10517
How much do you need helium? Answer in liters preferably.
dae98d No.10519

It's not just about the size of the tank (the smallest tank should work) but also if you regulate the flow properly to last until you are brain dead.
Read the peaceful pill handbook if you can find it illegally.

I already have an easy access to sudoku (guns) but I don't want to hurt the pro-gun cause by letting the bradyfucks use me as a statistic.
I was going to use feelium but I read this shit as well.
What percentage does it have to be so you can self terminate easily?
96df8c No.10551
Fuck… I wonder if this has already progressed to the Australian supplier I bought my balloon time tanks from. Is it required to say it is mixed with air on the box? Because it says so nowhere on mine.
Also related, I've been looking for gas flow regulators that attach to the Balloon Time tanks connector to set the flow rate to 15lpm but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone offer advice?
I'm sort of scared to try without a gas flow regulator. The Final Exit book makes no mention of them. But the Peacefull Pill handbook stresses the need for one. The instructions however are not helpful at all. I don't want to suffer permanent brain damage. I don't see how I can possibly set the right flow rate by just guessing.

Still, I think the 2 tanks I got are ok… now I just need info on the gas regulator. I found this thread but the information (like in the Peaceful Pill Handbook) is just too detailed and confusing

I developed this method to suppress myself from ripping the bag while unconscious. You should use a bowline knot, you can use sports wristbands if you don't like the burning sensation of the rope. Tie one hand and cross the rope below the leg, then go across the stomach and finally go again below the other leg and tie the other hand. Your hands' must be at hip distance, just in case you tug hard. Remember to have one free arm so you can put the bag on, it's easy when you practice enough, then when the bag is closed hold your breath for enough time to put your hand in the open knot and then tug, voila, you're tied and ready to go.

I think exit international tried selling exit bag kits once ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_bag#Legal_restrictions_on_sale ), and they got raided by the feds. I would expect any such outfit would be shut down similarly.

If you really want to buy some you can always get it from China.
Takes a long time to ship though.
Just say you run a welding company and want to order a sample cylinder to test the quality.
