By "whippets" do you mean whipped cream cans, if so, I don't see any reason why they would be illegal.
 
whippets?cartridges? My friend has a box that had 24 "whippets" in it. Not cans of whip cream. He said they were made for whip cream though.
 
In most states where it's legally sold, I've seen headshops selling (usually overpricing) them everywhere. In Florida every headshop you go to has nitrous cartidges and whipped cream dispensors on sale. I've lived in Georgia for almost 11 years now and I've never seen the cartridges sold anywhere public. I have some friends that work at coffee shops and they use them there (and always hold mass quantities). I've seen whipped cream dispensors sold publicly here, but not nitrous cartridges. However, online retailers will send them to Georgia all day. I'm not absolutely sure about the legality. All I know is what I've seen since I've been here.

Ah, he must have meant the re-fill canisters for the whipped cream cans, yes, you can most likely find them. I would try to find someone who could get you a tank, it's a much better quality, and a better deal.
 
I live in GA. Two years ago I was able to obtain some "whipped cream chargers". They behind the counter out of plain sight, had to ask the clerk. Don't know if this has changed since.

At what type of store?
 
^Actually it's a state matter, and as far as I know, Florida and Oregon are the only 2 states who have regulated nitrous to the extent of making it a crime in certain situations.

Last time I found them was at a gift store that sold everything from knives, tobacco accessories, incense, shirts etc.

Some of those stores seem to have them, some don't. Just know the proper ettiquite and make sure you only intend to use them for their legal purpose.

This was two years ago, haven't really pursued my whipped cream hobby since, so I don't know if its still available.

After my last batch, me and my friends decided it was a huge waste of metal.

Edit: and they were the 24 pack co2-like cylinders for roughly a buck a piece.
 
I live in Georgia and the only way that I've gotten nitros is just from the whip cream bottles.

i think thats about right.

i got a couple boxes of those c02 looking nitrous things to go in a cracker and i dont think they'd be selling it in a store if it were illegal.
 
Years ago I could buy NO2 whippets at headshops in Georgia but I've not seen them in some time. IIRC I asked a headshop worker and he said they were no longer legal to sell.
