Word to the Wise ....
Don't use auto-grade N2O (I'm not sure if that's what you're planning on or not, but its good to know anyways), as they put in a taste/smell addative to discourage rec. use, and that shit is absolutely wretched. There's no way I would even think about touching that shit, nausea in a big way. I know a few really really hardcore whippit-crazed bastards who use it, but how they can stomach it is absolutely beyond me.

I know about the car-grade stuff (and how to stay away from it).. I do appreciate all your feedback
I'm used to having those ez-whip things (cartridges).. just ran into a guy who has a tank so curiosity had me wondering how much could be squeezed out of a tank

Ok obvious we have people who are out in the cold on nitrous. Here is the break down on LEGAL ""racing nitrous.
The biggest legal tank is 2.5 feet, holding 11 pounds, 1 ounce of gas.
New tanks have a powder in them, that powder I have been told by many a person is sulfur.
If you get a new tank you must empty it 3 to 4 times before using, to get rid of this powder.
The powder sits on the bottom and get adigated by the gas and then comes up.
There are two ways of filling the tank:
Freezing it which takes about 1.5-2.5 hours then putting in the powder and filling it with gas.
Pressure pumping it in the tank, which takes about 5-10 minutes.
Both cost the same price, last I checked hear for a full 2.5 foot tank, $37.50.
90-100 3 foot in diameter ballons of gas comes from one tank.
The nitrous gas from a racing shop, is as good in quality as food grade, or medical.
So there you have it all the facts I have about this. Play hit and miss with shops til you find one that either doesn't put powder in it, or pressure pumps it. The powder wont kill you, it just tastes like shit and you can smell it as well. Word of advice buy a used tank for about 120-150 instead of a new one from 2000-300. Get a 3/4 inch radiator hose 2-3 feet long from an auto store. Get a hose clamp with it, and attach the hose on the tank with the clamp. Now you have distance between sub zero tempature gas and rubber ballons or anything of that matter, the hose will freeze and it will be fragile and break if your pumping out a lot of ballons. My way of finding the right shop is look for a place that works on track cars, not street cars.

I just list my facts, I've had my tank for 4 years now. Never had any problems, never had anyone get sick from it, huffed alot myself, dont seem to notice a difference in the high, but to each to his own I guess. Not everyone can always agree we all have different opnions and sources for facts, some people are passionate about their view but it don't mean I hate you or I'm gonna flame ya when the topic dies there are no hard feelings.

To clairify, they add sulfer dioxide to the auto grade shit, and they do it for noreason other then to discourage abuse.. you can filter it out..
