Drug info - Poppers (Amyl Nitrite)

[Chaote]

Can you tell me the name of a site all I can find are porn sites and have you ever bought them otc I find online a bit of a pain in the ass, funny I guess the poppers would help that hahaha

[Chaote]

I've found some sites that sell poppers they are all sex toy sites btw, are these products effective for recreational use? also they advertise alkyl nitrite, ibsobutyl nitrite, amyl nitrite, propyl nitrite and cyclohexyl nitirite, which is the best?

[PenguinPhreak]

Any of the nitrites are going to have the same effect, but some are
stronger than others. While most sites selling poppers are sex sites
for reasons already covered, there are a lot of headshops that sell
them and even a few sites dedicated solely to poppers.

[kaczynski]

Haha saw this on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently and was wondering just exactly what poppers are. they don't sound all that exciting...

[Mezza]

It may get knocked, but for me Amyl Nitrate (or isobutyl or whatever) is THE way to turn a good trip into the ultimate psychedelic experience. On their own poppers are cheap crap, but when you're already tripping they take you up to the next level and beyond. I've had more ++++'s(using Shulgin's terminology) from using Amyl than by any other method.

[Softrat]

Most people know about these drugs but many don't find them to be all that interesting in the long run.

First off it is NITRITE. Not nitrate. Please get this straight. You drive us chemists squirrely. Nitrite is R-NO2 and Nitrate is R-NO3. And yes, iso-pentyl nitrite (amyl nitrite) is used for angina as well as cyanide poisoning. I used to have a prescription for it when I was working with cyanides in my former lab.


One afternoon I was synthesizing some for amusement in the high school where I was attending, and teaching at. The fume-hood died and the iso-Pentyl Nitrite came pouring out into the classroom. I told the students, as I put on my respirator, that all those who wished to leave could do so. Out of 15 students, 3 left. I guess most people liked it. I personally get a headache from it.

Swim was introduced to amyl a few months ago after hearing about its wonderous effects whilst on pills, and started using it on a fairly regular basis. Was later told that amyl actually creates holes in your brain?

SWIMs glad to know that someone else enjoys fan music, SWIM has lost himself listening to the whirr of a fan many many times. SWIM used to and still can enjoy poppers on their own, but now mainly uses them while intoxicated in other ways, to add little peaks to other experiences.

Oh and Welcome to the forum!

PM'ing a mod to get them to edit the self incrimination from SWIY post would probably be a good idea.

Incriminating yourself by saying you manufacture a legal substance ? Eh ?

Isopropyl nitrite isn't illegal in europe. Fact is it will never be, they still give it in small 5 ml bottles for people with cardiac problems.

Regardless of location or legality, one needs to refer to oneself as SWIM, otherwise it is a massive project for the mods to research and look into every use of the word "I." It is out of respect for them and the rules.

Hey guys I'd appreciate it if someone could answer my question.....

Well I was thinking of buying some poppers soon, but I have asthma. I can use smelling sorts to clear blocked noses without it aggravating my asthma, so its not really bad against strong smells (mainly just when running etc)

Anyway yeah I just want to double check that it would be okay for me to use them when I have asthma

Also how long does a bottle last?

1) Read the forum rules. Self-incrimination is against a rule. Understandable as it is your first post.

2) SWIM sees amyl nitrites and asthma as not a horrible issue, however, SWIM can't state from experience. The only side effect of any worry would be shortness of breath. It is SWIYs call, doesn't hurt to research more.

3) Not a clue.

[BAZ]

SWIM knows this is a stupid question but SWIM just bought Bolt Heavy Duty liquid aroma and wants to know the best method of using. (if there is more than one method) Does SWIM simply unscrew the cap and inhale? How far away from the nose? How many hits does SWIM get out of one little bottle? How much is too much?

Thanks for reading.

Is it very likely that poppers will cause seizures? Swim looked online, but was wondering what y'all swimmers thought. If they are likely to cause seizures, what would cause the seizures (other than the stimulant effect)?

[sylenth]

smurf used to love the stuff. but it kills your e rush very quickly by sucking it dry. smurf also after a good nght of popping lots of e's n holding on to the bottle like a preacher's bible on a sunday morning blacked out n fell on to a concrete step. besides for been embaressed in front of all the people smurf sliced a nice gash open on smurfs chin. this stuff klls brain cells nicely too. and very bad if u are 'aneemic.' not sure on the spelling for this one. animic?

Hi swim was wondering what the deal is with ''new formula poppers'' that burn the skin and don't last as long and the ''old formula'' that was just fantastic????

this has annoyed SWIM. He has learned to live with the child proof caps but hasn't yet developed a way to open them 1 handed like he could the old caps.

If SWIYs pet dodo can smash open the child proof cap a smaller non childproof cap can be winkled out. This non child proof cap is very similar to the old caps but has no grip marks on it and its edges are less kind to the hands

SWIM still does not see how reducing the abuse potential of poppers got to the top of the governments list of drug related things to tackle, Still if it kept them busy and resources tied up for a few months SWIM will live with it.

SWIM believes the change has only effected the UK so is considering looking at European websites to try and find the good old blend.

[malaroo123]

hi swim wants 2 thank u for the reply...another question...has swiy had any luck finding ''old formula'' ??? and swim wouldn't know what is the best ingredient to look for because of the many different ingredients mentioned and law changes in the u.k never mind all the other countries..can u help swim??? swim is very confused and wants the old kick with no burns for them and their partner!!!

[tomazco]

I love 'em... but what were the old formula? And the poppers ive had dont have child proof caps...

[geezaman]

The recently old poppers formula was Isobutyl nitrites, The old poppers prior to iso butyl were amyl nitrites, these now can only (as far as SWIM knows) be prescribed by a doctor as heart medication.

If the poppers SWIY is getting don't have child proof caps, they are probably isobutyl nitrites, The goverment recently(within the past 6 months) had a look at poppers and set out new regulations/law(?) to reduce their abuse potential, The two things this caused to change were the type of caps, and the formula.
The new formula isopropyl nitrites is moe likley to make SWIY feel ill, and get headaches while using them, it is also not possible to obtain the same high with the new formula even while under the influence of other drugs. In SWIMs opinion the new formula are truly not worth buying.
BUT as SWIYs does not have a child proof cap it seems that they are the old formula and so the remainder of the supply someone already had in stock, or potentially poppers that have been imported from abroad (where the formula is still isobutyl)

A shop importing them is somewhat unlikely as they could probably SWIM imagines be closed down if caught selling them, thus SWIMs advice would be that if SWIY enjoys these poppers to stock up, perhaps even being able to persuade the seller to offer SWIY a bargain price for buying in quantity and taking them off his hands (this worked nicely for SWIM.

On a separate note SWIM recently bought some poppers online from the Netherlands, two of the three bottles were butyl nitrites as expected, but the third was labeled as contents:Cyclohexyl
The brand name was Zap! and has the advertising slogan "high octane"
SWIM has had a hit of them and their effects are very like though not exactly like poppers, but WTF is cyclohexyl and how safe is it? Any help or thoughts appreciated

[Panthers007]

The synthesis of iso-Amyl Nitrite is straightforward and simple. Requires good lab skills - as with any nitration - and the precursors are not watched. The new material, I've heard, is iso-Propyl Nitrite which is more volatile as it boils at a low temperature. This fast evaporation is likely responsible for the burning of skin. It would be similar to frostbite.

[geezaman]

@ SWIMalaroo123
The common old formula most SWIYs have enjoyed was isobutyl nitrite (just butyl nitrite on some packs)
This can no longer be acquired from shops in the UK. Internet shops based in other countries such as the Netherlands do still stock it as it is not illegal in their location, SWIM has had experience buying from such online shops and getting them delivered to his UK address with no problems. SWIM is not sure of the legality of doing this.

In short Isobutyl nitrite is what SWIY is seeking, and they are seeking it from abroad. Almost all poppers sold in Europe are isobutyl nitrite as far as SWIM is aware.

@ Kaczynski, SWIMs unsure exactly what SWIY is asking, but essentially poppers are a brown volatile liquid that if the vapours of which are inhaled cause dilation of the blood vessels causing increased blood flow and give the effect of a head-rush. They were originally used as medicine for people suffering heart problems. A quick web search will give SWIY much better details. The original form of them used as heart medicine were amyl nitrites which were kept in small glass vials which were snapped to release the vapour. Untill recently (in the UK) a form of them- isobutyl nitrites were sold as room odorizers in small brown screw top bottles. Now in the UK due to new legislation only isopropyl nitrites are available, this change was made to "reduce abuse potential".

Ok, so Madlab fulfilled Alf's wish and ordered poppers: Nitro Supra (Cyclohexyl) and Pure Gold (Isobutyl). So far Alf had just a few encounters with poppers and they were extremely funny and pleasurable (last one few years ago). Much to his dismay it turned out that both of them give him a very nasty headache now - localized somewhere over and behind his right eyeball. And it is not due to overuse, just 1 run is enough. At first it's getting very nice, oh so nice, then the feeling of warmth comes, ears are getting hot, face is blushing, heart is pounding, thud-thud-thud, and then the come down, the feeling of intracranial pressure begins and the headache appears, lasting for a few minutes and making the whole experience worthless really and disturbing.
Well, has SWIY ever experienced such headaches? Have they been persistent or transient? I mean, should Alf look for someone willing to take those vials from him or just store them in refrigerator and try some time later again? How long can poppers be stored after opening the vial?

[geezaman]

For Storage length SWIM does not know, however he has had poppers with the seal opened but cap screwed back on tightly for easily over 6 months sometimes.

SWIM has only got a headache once or twice, and him and friends have probably gone through over 50 bottles of the darn things. However SWIM does more frequently get not a headache but a pressure behind the eyes that is unpleasant though not very painful. SWIMs last purchase of poppers included a bottle of cyclohexyl and he found it inferior to butyl, It seemed more unpleasant on the nose for a lesser effect.

Peace,
Geezaman
