Where can I get Nitros bulbs and cracker

Chem, I was probably over simplistic... its all a case of amounts. What you get at the dentist is a mixture of N2O and oxygen - so it doesn't saturate your blood stream. However N2O absorbs into blood much easier than oxygen (and takes longer to release itself) so inhaling pure N2O is much more problematic, the percentage of oxygen in your blood is much lower and there is a greater chance that brain cells will not get the oxygen they require. This is particularly true when people use tricks such as breathing in/out of a balloon to "lengthen" the hit.
So if you are going to inhale N2O make sure you get plenty of oxygen too. See erowid for more details.
Oh, Im also interested in what people consider as the "effect" of bulbs. The people I know who take them did so for the head rush at the time of inhalation (which is caused by depleated oxygen levels) but N2O also has the effects of euphoria, sedation, analgesia and psychedelic dissociation (from erowid). If everyone is after the latter and I've just got weird friends then I'll shut up now

I have purchased a number of soda siphons over the years from op-shops for about $10. Often they leave the detachable part under the counter, I guess so that naughty children don't steal them. So when you first see them you think they are faulty! As for bulbs, some hardware stores have them. In Mel they are available at Safeway stores at the service desk, so try Woolworths. If you're embarrassed to ask for them carry a large container of cream and some cake mix and you will look the part!

I had to laugh after reading cowboys post. I remember one night bent as mofos buying about ten packs with some mates. The girl at the counter cracked up when she saw us and then saw what we were buying. She just told us to have fun.
We've dug all our old soda siphons up from our parents places in the back of cupboards and they work a treat.
On a more serious note though it is recognised that nitros can have damaging effects on the brain physically and excessive use can lead to memory loss.
So use in moderation and have fun!
