Not to bust on you but i just won't see y anyone would want to do inhalants, its so bad for u first off and second theres such better ways to get fucked up
let me share a little inhalant story that happened at my school....kids in art class goes to the back room where the art supplies are kept gets a big can of rubber cement and starts going at it, he passes out in it... teacher checks to see whats taking him so long. sees the kid passes out from the rubber cement and has to rip the can off his face, now has a huge circle scar on his face

Yeah he definitly does mean freeon like that. Freeon is someshit u put in ur freezer and i herd it illegal or someshit but honestly if ur huffin freeon ur an idiot! If u r gonna try some sorta crazy inhalent go with ether or something i mean damn, FREEON!
It's illegal, because it hurts the ozone layer.

its not really illegal you just have to have some sort of license for it cause its still used in freezers and its spelt freon its non-toxic and oderless i rememberd that cause its what the guy on fight club used to crack the lock on a door

You guys are right though. Now that I'm sober I feel stupid for posting that. No one ever huff freeon. It's acually really addictive and worse thatn meth in my opinion.

i thought it was nitrous in duster.....anyways i huffed some and crashed my friends car into a tree. i was unconcious fora whole block. dont do drugs and drive.......sheeesh

i don't see why ppl bag on inhalants, hey most drugs aren't healthy either...
anyway, i honestly think duster and nitrous experiences are overrated when ppl say "omg i was like floating through SPACE man!!!" it's not a lot more than wah wah wah and a little patterning if you do too much. in conjunction with other drugs (any other drug) they get a LOT more fun ^_^
Curtains

first
bodhisattva- nitrous is not in duster
Hacnslash- yes most drugs aren't exactly healthy for u but inhalants are down right horrible for you....theres a huge gap when u look at the health effects of inhalants and lets say weed
and damn you people nitrous is a dissociative not an inhalant
hacnslash
23-11-2004, 02:23
well...true they are more damaging, still fun on occasion ;)

True, Curtains...
So freon is actually the trade name given to a whole class of chemicals
known as chlorofluorocarbons (used in refrigerators mostly). I think
tetrafluoroethane is the chemical most commonly found in those cleaning
dusters. The nice thing about freon is that the really bad side effects
of freon inhalation occur right after the initial exposure, meaning
that if you aren't yet fucked up you're probably going to be ok (freon
is not a carcinogen, mutagen, or teratogen and it does not damage the
liver). Still, if you have any history of heart problems you should
maybe stay clear of it for it can cause cardiac arrhythmia which
wouldn't be fun. If you still want to do it make sure never to shake the container or turn it upside down</span> (the liquid will cause frostbite so you can probably guess you don't really want that occurring in your lungs).
As for nitrous oxide...well...wow. Nitrous oxide is used in many
different aspects of life. If you are a drag racer an N2O tank adds a
nice boost of torque to your car, if you use rediwhip or another canned
whip cream you've already seen N2O used to pressurize, and if you've
ever had surgery at the dentists office you've experienced its
anesthetic properties...
Well its a touch costly (usually sells in packs of 24 for about $20)
and its initial effects don't last very long (there is a slight relaxed
feeling you have afterwards), but say two whipits will put you in a
happy place for about a minute, of course three is</span> better...five is better still, but start lower and then go up. Nitrous is very sweet tasting try not to do too much</span>.
Make sure you get a nice cracker (metal. Plastic ones will break
quickly) and you have a nice high capacity balloon (any head shop that
sells whipits will most likely have balloons and crackers). You need
the balloon because, similar to freon, N2O is very</span>
cold after it is released (don't want to freeze your lungs). The only
problems with N2O are oxygen depravation and vitamin depletion so take
your vitamins (N2O depletes your folic acid and vitamin B12) and make
sure to breathe http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif
oh one more thing that is best to say just for safety's sake...
The racing grade has hydrogen sulfide in it as well as nitrous which
can be removed if bubbled in a basic solution (like say...baking soda),
but do some research before you attempt that one....

does any1 have any info on dustoff if so include dose and experience in detail.

No. Just, no.
These inhalants are the crappiest and most stupidest thing you can do.
To back up my claims here are some quotes from erowid:
Computer duster is not Oxygen or Nitrous oxide. It is usually a fluorenated low weight hydrocarbon, such as tetrafluorethane, chlorodiflouromethane or another similar gas. What they're looking for is a material which is a liquid when pressurized (at room temperature) but which is a gas when not pressurized. Because it is not intended for human consumption, there is no consistency to what is used by different companies, as long as the gas pressurizes in a cannister well enough to create the blowing effect that the product is sold for.
Just as with nitrous/"whippets", if you breathe something like computer duster straight, you are both depriving yourself of oxygen and exposing yourself to the chemical. This can increase the high, but also greatly increases the risk of physical damage. While (medical grade) nitrous has been tested and approved for use in humans, the components in computer duster have not, and especially not for repetitive use. Both research and Anecdotal evidence suggest that repetitive use can cause brain and other neurological damage.
[Erowid Warning: Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. We have chosen to include these reports to help document the real world use of inhalants, but their inclusion is not intended to imply that they are anything but dangerous.]

ewwww, you mean youwant to huff Air Duster. oh man come on, at least get a cracker and some whip its.
but i guess if you want to... buy a can of duster or whatever, and on the end will be a little nozzle. close your mouth directly over the nozzle, press the trigger, and inhale and be prepared for your entire concept of reality to change... but only for 4 seconds!
oh yea and i hope you don't asphyxiate and die. good luck.
bud, if your gonna be doing that, make sure right when u inhale, get a space monkey, pass out, hit your head then enjoy the ride.
Ok, so that would be real bad, dude, dont be dumb http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif

If you must do these kinds of "drugs" only do it a few times as they are very toxic. I can understand to some degree however interest in these as someof the trip reports on them are kind of interesting.
Personally I can't understand why anyone would want to inhale
trifluroethane to get high when they can go buy a can of whipped cream
(which is a fraction of the cost of a can of air duster) and get high
off of nitrous oxide, a chemical safe enough to be used regularly by
dentists.
I'm not even going to entertain any of your questions, i'm just going to say DONT DO IT STUPID! and leave it at that :)

chlorofluorocarbons are potentially irritants and may even cause cancer
(SPECULATION based on the proven carcinogenic activity of
carbon tetrachloride and chloroform). nitrous will provide you with a
much safer and enjoyable experience.
i never used either one but swim abused the can a few times, he said it
did not bring him anywhere near the mind altering level of any of the
other inhalants he experimented with. he did say that the combination
of MDMA and dustoff was incredibly euphoric but it left him very stupid
and vunerable for the short period of time that he was under the
influence of the compressed gas. he was talking and saying things that
he did not recall just moments later as he came back from the influence
of the gas. definitely not something to do with people you cannot
trust. perhaps it should not be done at allhttp://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif

so what forum does duster fit under? can you OD from it? can you pas out from it? SWIM never really experimented with it much and wants information.
thanks

Computer dusters contain volatile solvents that are often neurotoxic and heptatoxic (kills brain cells and liver cells). It's a shitty shitty high, that lasts a very short period, and inhalant use is far more likely to result in death either from asphyxiation or sudden sniffing death (severe neurological shock resulting in cardiac arryhythmia). 22% of deaths are first-time users.1 "Actual overdose from the drug does occur, however, and indeed inhaled solvent abuse is statistically more likely to result in life-threatening respiratory depression than intravenous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous) use of opiates such as heroin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin)."2
If swiy wants a drug that will be like inhalants, but exponentially more fun and safe swim suggests you check out nitrous oxide. It's commonly sold in headshops as "whipped-cream chargers" and swiy'll need a cracker (quite cheap) and a balloon. Don't go with duster, swiy will enjoy this much more and swiy can't die or won't suffer any negative health effects unless he chronically uses.

Don't huff duster; it's very dangrous.
If swiy wants a gas that is actually enjoyable and also safe look into N20 (food or medical grade only, swiy don't want the car grade full of toxins and hectane that will kill you.)

Thank you both. SWIM gave it a try and was very displeased. He reports that the duration of the high is incredibly short-lived and the feeling derived is nothing special. SWIM also reports that he has no intentions to do it again though he does plan on researching nitrous oxide.

one single first use of duster can kill you, I heard of people dying from a single toke, one single baloon filled with duster beeing known as a lethal dose.
That means one have to use very little at a time!
Also, repeated use does great harm to your brain: I read about one guy which ended up dissolving his brain barrier with repeated duster use, resulting in life-long lobotomy-like condition.
From personal experience:
duster has a shitty effect (also very short lived), it causes brain suffocation, and when you take some, that's precisely how it feels to you, meaning it really has a dark and dirty mental suffocation feeling....beuark!
It's not a pleasant feeling at all so I wouldn't call this a 'high'.
I would advise you not to ever try this stuff (not fun and much too dangerous).

Duster contains O3. This has a higher affinity to your blood cells than does regular oxygen. Thus, the high is caused from oxygen deprivation and you're experiencing the same effects one would, oh, say, right before dying from drowning. Sound fun? Unfortunately, it is. But stay away from it.

[QUOTE=IkBenDeMan;244010]Duster contains O3. QUOTE]
SWIM was pretty sure that it was halogenated hydrocarbons like difluoroethane that were responsible for the high. Maybe SWIY are thinking of air purifiers, which sometimes use O3. *shrug*
IkBenDeMan

Well, the dust-off things my dad used to have when I was younger said they contained O3 right on the bottle... My Biology book from my freshman year of college talked about how O3 had a higher affinity for hemoglobin... I just put two and two together... and it makes sense because I have almost drowned and its quite a similar feeling, minus the adrenaline of course. I'm certain that the halogenated hydrocarbons could have an effect...
I've only ever seen freon-somenumber or other hydrocarbons in dusters here in Canada, maybe it's different where you're at, the contents changed, or, maybe you misread the bottle as a kid and the bottle had some kind of "ozone safe" logo that incorporated "O3" into the logo or something... Wish I could still find o3 air freshener tho, haven't seen any in years, that stuff was amazing... I remember smoking in a car almost small enough to be called a go cart, with three other smokers, and spraying o3 every few minutes would keep the air fresh as outside... magic stuff that...
But not found in duster, here anyways.
