Overcoming my tolerance of nitrous oxide - N2O

Hello. First post. [Do you like my username?]

I need some advice or thoughts/exercises to keep me from having bland or non-visual experiences.

Just a little history:
I've been doing N2O on and off for about 4 years. In the beginning it was once a month or so and gradually grew to 3 times a week or more.

During my virgin months, I did nitrous with a friend and experienced huge aural trips where every sound just vibrated and blended together into this awesome mechanical noise. I thought that was it. It was something to say "this is cool" and nothing more. But over the next few months I learned to do them by myself and really get to think about things. Then came the deja vu, clairvoyance, sudden mind-blowing realizations, and of course huge eruptions of laughter after something serious transformed into something silly.

The next stage moved from mere visuals to full-on dreams. It was like I could feel my muscles moving, as if I was actually running away from the tornado I was dreaming about. Or, in many experiences, I was reaching for something I was desperate to grab hold of, only to wake from my dream and have no memory of what I was JUST thinking of, yet my hand was outstretched trying to grab whatever is was.

Fast forward 3 years later:
I feel like my mind has expanded to a limit. I feel like the old, wise martial arts instructor that "knows all there is to know" and has experienced all that life has to offer. But seriously?? That can't be the end of it. I used to be able to drop 2 carts in a balloon, suck it in and breathe slowly, and then get an awesome "live dream." I would come out of it in disbelief like "OMG there's no way that WASN'T real!"

But the last few weeks have been a bit bland. I always keep my eyes closed and I still see shapes, colors, patterns and formations -- but rarely do I fall completely into a dream anymore. I used to have experiences where I did not even remember inhaling. I would just suddenly come out of a dream and be SHOCKED that I was unconscious so quickly.

I am not at the point where I want to combine the N2O with something stronger. Nitrous is about the only thing I can buy without having to find a dealer (and be paranoid about getting busted.)

Anyhow, I will post more but just wanted to get this intro typed. I really didn't want to put this in the "Big Dandy Nitrous Thread" because it talked so much about canisters, tanks, balloons, how-to, where-to, and such. I just want to know if anyone has hit a plateau the way I have, and what worked to get things kicked back into a higher gear.

A few of my solutions that worked for a while, but don't always produce the desired effect each time are:

Just before inhaling:
- Thinking about a deep, meaningful issue or problem (the ones that make me cry are the best, but I can only cry so much.)
- Creating a fictional story in my head
- Counting backward from 10, going into negative numbers if need be
- Pretending that I am someone else, someone trying nitrous for the very first time, making myself nervous or shy.
- Pretending that I am getting ready for deep space travel, suiting up and strapping myself into a rocket and having no idea what possibilities lie ahead.

Any tips for getting that loving feeling back [that don't involve combining with another drug] would be great. Eventually I will find a way to get a hold of something else. But for the time being, all I have is nitrous, alcohol and my thoughts.

Cheers.
 
I never noticed any tolerance to nitrous even during my couple week long binges. I didn't just do one charger at a time either......... The most obvious suggestion is sekios or find/build a device that will allow you to get more G's of n2o into your lungs without asphyxiating. The more nitrous done at once the stronger it is. You can travel all the way up to unconsciousness, though this is dangerous if your constantly breathing it without o2, etc etc.
 
^ I think more nitrous is not the solution. You simply have to space it out a lot more man.

However, that all being said, you really should be combining it with other drugs. The RC "scene" is a shitshow, but if you spend a little bit of time, you can find suitable items without having to deal with a drug dealer. Nitrous is cool... but combinations are where it really shines.

If hes an addict and is unwilling to stop this is the only solution that he will find "helpful". I added sekios suggestion was most intelligent but all that besides the point as JBrandon's brought up an even better point. N2o by itself is a grand time but in combo is when the magic happens. People didn't coin terms like "Gascid" for no reason. Just read the MerryPranksters reports on n2o combos and you think twice about thinking lowly of combining it with something or even as thinking of combos as "getting the love back". IMO your in for more than a bit of love....
 
I read the MerryPranksters reports as well. Been lurking here for a while before registering.

I keep my binges to just the weekends, usually Friday and Saturday. The suggestion of doing more at once to make it stronger... I've done up to 4 at once in a balloon but had the [sometimes unpleasant] effect of coming out of it with a sort of knee-jerk reaction, as if I wasn't supposed to move but then the movement of my arm caused my dream to be ripped apart and wake me suddenly. It's happened a few times before, I just don't know if its caused by something I did or just by having too much at once.

I'll have to look around the forum a bit more and read some trip reports.

As for combining, the only thing I have available to me would be weed. That's about it. I don't think weed is going to cut it, however.
 
LSD and Nitrous. Boom.
The day after I did that for the first time, Nitrous bulbs on their own just aren't the same. I did a bulb the morning after and remember thinking "Is that it?"
I find it makes the visual aspect of the LSD enhanced as well.
 
Even getting high and doing nitrous made me want to not do nitrous by itself anymore. It's like, you're baked, and then you do nitrous, and then you come back down and you're all "oh no it's over!" but then you realize that you're still baked and you just smile and feel content.

Doing nitrous by itself is such a letdown. It's so brief. Not worth the money IMO.
 
I agree in that you should combine it with LSD or Molly ( as close to pure MDMA you can get ) I love nitrous but I think once you combine it with something you will feel differently about doing it with nothing else. Last night I was fortunate enough to smoke very pure DMT, I would have loved a balloon :)

Your gonna do what your going to do, but I would also recommend a break, I know N2O is hard on the body, and an addiction to N2O can be a difficult one, from what I've seen in people.

Stay safe man :)
 
I feel the opposite as everyone. N2o is still just as interesting as it was before, sure its not swirling vortexes of color like when combined with LSD but thats not what I expect. Those who are disappointed are just expecting to much. It would be like saying after you drink alcohol(insert any chemical really)and smoke marijuana that its never the same. Idiocy. It may feel less intense if your for some reason expecting it to be as intense as when it was in combo. I find people do small amounts of n2o when alone or sometimes even with people. One charger isn't much n2o in your lungs. Only 8g's if you inhale it fully at once. Once you find your anesthetic dose IMO n2o becomes wickedly fun because you can go to different levels far easy instead of overshooting it and passing out for 10 seconds or just getting a light buzzing.
 
I never said Im disappointed of the effects of nitrous alone. Nitrous is great on it's own with some good music and vibes.
I see the OP said with out combining ( really my fault, I missed that for some reason ) but I'm saying if you get a chance give it a shot. Yes it different and more intense. Nitrous is not a some sacred drug and in my opinion give mixing a go, if possible. but in the end your asking how to bring back the feelings of first use. ( you may never feel that way again).
I assume if you can only get booze and nitrous, you are probably not going have access to medical grade N2O do you use whippits( whip cream chargers ) if thats all he uses how would he find a way to hold 3 or 4 charges?

I still suggest maybe a short break would be good, and maybe you feel as if it was one of your early times because of the break.
 
I know that one of the "requirements" to having a good n2o experience is... experience. If I go day to day, blandly living and just inhaling nitrous, then of course I am to expect bland events to happen. There needs to be something significant in between sessions. Nitrous is, to me, something that peels away the layers of reality and reveals things for what they are or what meanings lie beneath. It's difficult to have fulfilling experiences when I am depressed. I've come to "look up to" nitrous recently. But one night, the nitrous started talking back to me. Like it was saying "Sorry, but I'm not holding your hand anymore. If you want meaning in life, then try actually living for a while." I was shocked. I felt like I came to nitrous that night looking for guidance, and instead got a slap in the face telling me to grow up. My nitrous experiences changed from visual dreams and memories into cryptic shapes (think green monochrome polygons). At one point I traveled through a black hole and into a wormhole, but never quite made it to the other side. I later started following the wormholes and they let me to my bed. I think it was telling me to go to sleep and start dreaming. Nothing really came of that. But I was wowed at what changed.

I keep telling myself that "one good experience" is all I really want and I'd be happy. But that's a lie. The better the experience, the deeper I want to explore. The more I want to push my limits. The further I want to go, and ask questions along the way. I think this is where my mind starts to become aware that I am exploring a bit too much. As if I am overstepping my boundaries and it puts me in my place by giving me a weak experience. In other words, I try to look directly at the face of (God) and He punishes me for being too ambitious. But God is, of course, me.

I appreciate everyone's helpful comments.

Just rub apple cider vinegar on the outside of the ballon. Tolerance back to 1 why didn't you think of that!?
