so a pawn shop in my area is selling a zex automotive nitrous tank http://zex.com/. my question is can this be used as a regular old tank? can it be filled with food grade nitrous for consumption or is it useless?

where do you get food grade n2o? and no i wouldnt put it in there cause there's probably a lot of impurities. but then again im no expert on the subject.

Automotive n2o sometimes has sulphur dioxide in it, which will make your throat close up temporarily. Not nice.
Buy some crackers for whipped cream machines.

i had the same zex kit on my mustang and i tried it a few times was pretty cool but be careful shit will freeze your lungs gotta know how to do it but they sell a kit on ebay that uses little co2 cans that go into bb guns and it punctures it and lets you inhale it

yea i got a whipped cream cracker/machine that holds 3 or 4 of the mini cartridges but i wanna grab the tank cause its pretty cheap. the tank had a label that said it had sulfur dioxide mixed with the nitrous in it but the guy said he emptied the whole thing. you can fill tanks with food grade nitrous in massachusets as well as a few other states i believe. i just wanna figure out if this auto style tank can be used to hold food grade nitrous or if it can even dispense it safely and nontoxicly

It most certainly can... How? I don't know, but I know it is possible.

I knew a guy who did that before. He used to have 2 bottles in the back of his car - one was hooked up to his motor, the other one had the food grade stuff in it. This was quite a few years ago so I'm trying to pull this from a distance here, but I'm pretty sure he had a hookup similar to what you buy for helium tanks to fill balloons, and that's exactly what he did. Matter of fact, I think a couple times he would sit in his car and open the valve in it for a little bit, and just sit there and breathe for a few minutes. I don't recommend that by any means, because that just sounds like a terrible idea. Whether or not he really did that I dunno, he talked about it but that doesn't mean it happened. I know for a fact he had balloons for the other tank though.

as much as i would like to take what you have said as credible i doubt it because you (rckstr) just seem like an unreliable source from what ive seen in your posts. at first i thought you were a cop when u had the thread about asking for a connect so you can get coke to bang. nice blatent avatar by the way, most people wouldnt be too proud of that

Wow cool, I really don't care. Take my advice for what it's worth then....

Sorry I even fucking tried to help you.

And I'm proud of the fact that I can do shit like that, and not have to do it every day all day. I'm proud of the fact that addiction can't control me, and that I can use drugs responsibly, not letting them take over my life. I can use drugs once in a while and be ok with that. Yeah, that's what I'm proud of. Because it's something to be proud of.

You shouldn't judge people, especially ones you don't know

There is only one recorded nitrous death in the world. Which is great. I love Nitrous. In Ibiza they have Nitrous stalls in the nightclub. Fantastic place.

Nothing wrong with indiscreet. And that's good ur not trying to get in an argument, cuz it's a waste of fucking time. Dont be a dick to me, it's not cool. Everybody in here is a different person, embrace that. I tried telling you what I know, you didn't have to shoot me down like I'm a piece of shit or something.

Auto grade nitrous is not something you wanna use, and I'm just telling you that you can get food grade shit and fill an auto tank with it. A tank is a tank, they're all the same. Some are big, some are small. I know around here there's a place called Praxair that sells all sorts of gas - food and auto grade nitrous, oxygen, acetylene, helium... All sorts of that shit. So what I'm sayin is that I'm sure wherever you are that there's a place around somewhere that'll sell that shit. If you get a tank approved for nitrous, you'll be set.

im guessing by food grade you all mean medical gas and you really should get a gas and tank specified for medical gas... there are plenty of impurities in difrnt gases and tanks do your lungs a favor and get a real tank

Indeed, most automotive stuff has those adulterants in it to keep people from inhaling it.

I'm sure you can retrofit an automotive tank to take food grade.. Automotive has Sulfur Dioxide.

Ask your local bakery about a tank. Just tell them your in catering....
Forget about medical grade. Your not going to get your hands on any of that unless your a dentist or know of one who'd be willing to order you some.

The automotive tanks have different male fittings/nozzel than the medical grade tanks, and car nitrous isn't quite nitrous anyways, it is a mixture of different gasses NOS at most speed shops. Your best bet is to go buy a cracker and some whipits, or grow some balls and lose your brain for a night, lol.

I tried to start a thread on how to "steal" medical grade nitrous from dentist offices, but I was crucified with the quickness.
