god how stupid is that. get a damn cracker and some thick party balloons. don't do that retarded with with a fucking nail it sounds pretty dangerous considering you're using it to pierce a high pressure canister.
you can find whippits at headshops. i got my cracker for free from the headshop i bought my whippit boxes from as well as a balloon. i think the guy called it a punching balloon cause it had a thick rubber band on it and could probably be used as a speed bag. but then again i'm awesome so you'll probably not get a free cracker and balloon.
btw crackers are used to fill up basket balls and such but make using nitrous fuckloads easier. i stopped using nitrous though when the cap on my cracker shot off at an extreme speed after getting frozen shut.

nitrous is really fun if you use it with another drug. they're really fun to use if you're already high, but in my opinion aren't worth it if you're just going to use it by itself
I am seriously considering buying a carton of whip-its now but I have a question.
How dangerous is N20 for your body?
Also what would be the street price for a whip-it?
Could anybody confirm what FoodStuffs said about using a nail?

[QUOTE=Erowid Nitrous Vault Article]
Rare but fascinating to witness is an instance where a desperate whippit sucker attempts to open a canister without the aid of a cracker. The one time I saw this done, the plan was to hammer a nail through the seal, then quickly grab the canister and suck the gas. This was about 5:30 in the morning, with another guy and me going, "Dude, that's not a good idea." A chorus of other voices shushed us, as they wanted to see what would happen, which was this: The whippit ricocheted across the kitchen like a silver bullet, shattering a glass of Merlot and denting the toaster oven, then fell to the tile and spun a slow half-circle, hissing like a serpent.

Thank you for notifying me.
I don't know why who ever said that was a good idea, don't listen to anything other then get a cracker, n20 carts, and balloons. It's a tried and true method

That person must have drove the nail completely through the top. Of course it will explode if you wail on it hard enough.
Crackers or whipped cream makers are best, but in a pinch you can use a nail with a little bit of common sense.

It probably has something to do with me being Polish and blonde.
I would record a video of my opening one with a nail, because it really isn't is as crazy as it sounds. Probably not the smartest thing you'll ever do, but hey, you can't be a genius always. I don't have any around the house, though.

WHAT NEEDS CLARIFICATION? COMPRESSED GAS, A SHARP POINTED OBJECT (admittedly the blunt end is the part that would hit but bullets are pretty blunt and they don't seem to have a problem working) PUT THOSE TWO TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE THE BASICS OF A HARPOON GUN OR SOME SHIT.
Do don't use a nail. spring an extra ten (at the most) bucks for a cracker and save yourself a trip to the hospital.

I think its funny this has to be posted.
And @BossSauce
Perhaps you can manage to open it with a nail, but this is the internet. The only people that couldn't figure that out by themselves are too stupid to do it in the first place.
maybe it's because i've been with facepunch the longest out of any other message board but i've had way to many "for shame.. for shame dude" moments here.
especially with that whole duster thing we had a long time ago back when it was called weed discussion or something
[editline]13th November 2011[/editline]
i mean it's dangerous in an immediate and physical way even with a cracker but at least with the cracker it's incredibly safer.
it's probably the most safe with a homemade whipped cream dispenser like steve-o used when he was binging.
[editline]13th November 2011[/editline]
but those things cost like 60 bucks.
wait, what costs $60? A cracker or dispenser are both $15 tops for a cheap one that works
well the headshop i went to had a dispenser for 60.
honestly i wouldn't trust a dispenser that only costs 15 dollars. you do get what you pay for.
headshops overprice things, its a specialty store
I've been selling them at raves, you can get 10 bucks a whippit at around 4 am, shits crackin ( pun oh so intended)
You guys are a bunch of vaginas, I've opened over 20 canisters with just a nail before. It's really not that dangerous when only a balloon-full of gas comes out.
We're vaginas because we would rather choose the safer way to do something?
Fuck off.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to insults, just speaking from experience here that I don't personally feel there's any danger involved. Sorry! <3

The danger really isn't in the amount, it's in the speed it comes out. However, they don't shoot around fast enough to actually break open the bag.
I've only ever had two incidents of a whippit "exploding" and it's not half as bad as you'd imagine it to be.
Right ok since people should be trying to cause minimal damage to themselves and others I think we can conclude whippits are the safe option here and to only ever use them rather than bags and nails.
So uh.. What are the long-term health observations? I can't imagine going out of my way to buy cartons of nos and a cracker to take a whiff every week!

Basically, there is no safe option. Everything that opens nitrous will fail after a while. Basically, all you can do is keep it pointed away from your face at all times and hope for the best. Metal crackers do stand up a lot better, but as somebody has said before, parts do fly off and hurt people. There is a report on Erowid somewhere about a cracker exploding and breaking some guy's nose.

Uh try a whippit? They're used for whipped cream anyway and are built for the canisters.

There isn't many long term health issues with nos however with extended use I'm pretty sure it can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Short term though you can suffocate if you don't breathe enough air, it starves your brain of oxygen
I just tried it from a whipped cream can and I could settle for that feeling everyday. Can't wait to try it from a whippit when I get the chance.
I was also wondering what I should do to maximize the 'high' but not suffocate. Should I breathe as much as I can in, then take the balloon/can off my mouth and breathe as much air as I can then hold the breath?

You can inhale and hold it or inhale or exhale. However, just because it doesn't feel like it doesn't mean you won't suffocate. Use common sense and you should be good.
Yeah I've read up on it and found out that it's CO2 that makes it feel like you're suffocating, not lack of oxygen (meaning pure N2O with no oxygen won't make you feel like you're suffocating).
If you use a balloon and rebreath it, how many times can you reuse the N2O?
i've never done something like that. that sounds fucking stupid.
when that dude in the movie "kids" did it i shook my head in shame. you need some fucking o2, don't just breathe in and out of the balloon like they did in the movie. the extra rush is your brain fucking dying.
You can still reuse the N2O even if you take breaths in between.
yeah but you're also breathing in lots of carbon dioxide... my instincts tell me thats a bad thing considering it's expelled from the body all of the time.
[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;33444037]yeah but you're also breathing in lots of carbon dioxide... my instincts tell me thats a bad thing considering it's expelled from the body all of the time.[/QUOTE]
Not a huge amount more, not that it's neccessarily safe: "The permanent gases in gas we exhale are roughly 4% to 5% more carbon dioxide and 4% to 5% less oxygen than was inhaled."
