hi guys this is my first post on the site so hey all!!!!

Yah you really do need a whip cream or soda bottle.

[steve51184]

can't SWIM just use something to puncher the top?

like a small screw driver within the balloon so you can puncher it whilst holding the balloon over it? (if that makes seance?)

anyone?

Dont do it! Swim cant stress enough how cold the cartridge gets when the NO rushes out, the fact that the NO rushes out so fast means your going to miss most of it with the baloon anyway. Swims seen a build your own cracker guide somewhere around here, Swim will try to find it but otherwise: Get a cracker. then ebay it if you dont like the NO, other people will want it =)

Trying to punch the cartridge by hand could cause an injury... The N20 is explosively compressed and cold enough to cause frostbite upon leaving its cartridge.

Get a cracker. On E-Bay or at the nearest cooking supply store. Not for getting high off of, of course, it's for finishing the topping on your cakes.

It shouldn't cost much. And it works. One would just screw in the cartridge, wait several seconds for the N20 to warm up a bit, and then pull the lever on the cracker to release.

A breaker / cracker is needed, period. The compressed gas will either be wasted, burn the skin from trying to open it incorrectly (and if it's directed towards your face it will burn your face, possibly scarr it), they can also go flying, if that isn't obvious enough on how dangerous that would be. Build one

It's downright foolish!!!! SWIM recommends just investing a measly $15 in a metal inflator.

A lot of headshops sell crackers, swiy definitely needs one because swiy doesnt want to be messing around with things like that especially whilst under the influence of other things as well.

SWIM definately suggests just buying a dispenser. You can get them for about £15 - £20 of some websites.

Dont try and pierce the canister with anything, like everyone else has said, the cartridges get really cold and can cause burns.
