Any strategies for longer duration of high?

[Squeekz]

SWIM has tried NO2 maybe a dozen times using a cracker and balloons. He likes the feeling more than any other drug he's tried, but is disappointed in the short duration.

Is it better to take one big hit from the balloon and hold it in as long as possible, or should SWIM breath it in and out of the balloon several times in a row?

My condor has had luck increasing trip duration by:

(I) Obvious: loading multiple cartridges into a single balloon (requires somewhat fancy handwork if you are alone, but it is well worth mastering)
(II) Meditation: Before cracking, then breathing mediations before inhaling, then during and after the trip as well
(III) Position: Laying down sometimes intensifies the affair in his experience
(IV) Procedure: My condor generally prefers with his eyes closed to take long slow inhalations and *IMPORTANT* remembers to breath O2 in through his nose and then the subsequent CO2 back out through his nose again in between these long slow inhalations
(V) Set and Setting: My condor always nose dives with a calm and open mind, apprehension and expectancies will only hold you back. Good music with a well timed build up and awesome crescendos is the best. (Frances the Mute [the track not the album] by the Mars Volta features two incredible scenarios such as this that are amazing for NO2) Also iDoser seems somewhat effective with nitrous in his experience as well, but not as much as other dissociatives.

Hope his words are of some value to you!

	Great answer with detailed information. Very helpful.
	Great post, SWIM has found 1, 4, & 5, he must look into 2 & 3 further

Some people find that the intensity and duration of nitrous can be increased by using it while already under the influence of other drugs. Squeekz should look in existing threads for good combinations with nitrous. A simple one most SWIYs can try is alcohol.

Snuffkin would concur with the above post as well, however although the volta can be amazing Snuffkin would suggest SWISqueekz listens to something they like (if they like the volta the great!)

You can do nitrus without other drugs? Whats the point? SWIM cant understand why anyone would want to do this unless they are at the dentist. Nitrus can enhance other drugs but by itself it just isnt as much fun.

She suggest breathing in and out of the baloon. After awhile you can tell when there is only CO2 in the baloon. Ther is a change in the density of what you are breathing and its warm not cool and refreshing.

Breathe in and out until the nitrous is all gone (it has a sweet taste, you will learn to tell when the dose is finishes).

Simply do 4 chargers in one go. 2 chargers per balloon. Load up one double and hold it closed in your mouth. Load up another double and hold it in your hand.

When you are peaking off the first balloon, start doign the second balloon.

It's an amazing feeling when you realise the peak is over but then you remember you have a whole other balloon.

I find that slow controlled breathing is the best way to prolong and intensify the high.

Also get very stoned before doing it it increase the feeling alot. Nitrous is amazing on MDMA too.

This may not be new to you but if it is it might well make your nitrous day.

Those beautiful little metal capsules can also be used to bung the bottom of balloons, meaning you can fill up as many balloons as you have balloons and that amazing feeling of realising you have another goes alot further
Snuffkin usually fills up 2 doubles and 2 singles, he finds this pretty much always sends him into nitrous space if its going to be possible that day.

Using them as bungs also stops you needing to worry about holding the end, and very occasionally hearing that heart wrenching sound of a full balloon flying off around the room.

I Believe Swim Loves Nos Just as Much As Swiy

Swim Likes To Take One Balloon, Then Another And Then Another..etc etc..

The Most Swim Has Done In A Row Is 8, Swim Has Done This A Few times. When swim Does 8 In a row its amazing Swim Highly Reckomends it.

Swim Only does 8 because after that swim cant take any more swim is too busy having an amazing time to taake another baloon
swim also reckoms taking it with e/mdma

SWIM obtained some hellium quality baloons online that expand to a 4' diameter. She tested them out and they hold six charges comfortably. She needs to devise some sort of clip to avoid that high pitched squeeling noise. "Whats that noise? Ohh no its me DAMN!"

[Squeekz]

thanks for all these posts, lots of great info! however, lots of you guys are saying that your pet orangutans are doing a lot more than just one at a time. Are there any dangers to this? I feel like i read somewhere that multiples can be bad for you, but then i think about going to the dentist... they must be giving you shit ton! and over a long period too! what are your thoughts?

[sandoz1943]

As long as you are not standing up you should be ok. SWIM has found she will let go of her baloon or nod off if she forgets to get a little O2 with her N2O. If you are standing falling out can be a bad thing. She had a friend fall out in a pile of fire ants. He was unable to get up or tell any off us what was wrong until he was covered in bites. There was also a local girl here who died after knocking her head when she passed out while huffing nitrus. Her friends decided it would be ok to let her sleep off her head injury and she never woke up.

Weed!!! A little herb and 2 chargers and SWIM was set for a solid 15-20 minutes. SWIM cannot stress how much better the high is after a few nice tokes on some fine MJ. MJ and/or alcohol can greatly enhance the nitrous experience.

[DietBlonde]

Agree with SWIFizzle. Getting baked extends the nitrous high up to 10 minutes for SWIM. It makes him feel like he's rolling. He just puts a lamp near his face (helps him see more CEV's), lies on his back, plays some loud trance music and closes his eyes.

Oh Yeah,
Ultimate setup is similar to a dentists kit.
2 tanks, 1 N20, 1 Oxygen. Need valves on each with hoses running into a mask.
Adjust so that flow into mask is about 75% N20, and 25% O2, Fine tune O2 to keep awake.
sit down put on mask and ride into the sunset. Swim loves teetering right at the edge of going under.

Swim has tried a few methods. Swim uses the 8g whipped cream cartridges and a 1pt dispenser.

For the first method, swim would breath air in and out deeply about a dozen times over 30 seconds or so, then take a good gulp of nitrous out of the dispenser and hold it as long as possible. Swim learned if the nitrous feels fairly cold on the tongue not to take as much as he can hold because it seems the gas expands as it warms in the lungs and can get uncomfortable then.

Then swim would get the next cartridge ready while holding the first one in. Then swim would exhale and breath a couple deep breaths to get some o2 and then get another gulp of nitrous.

Swim has also tried breathing it into a paper bag and reinhaling, which can extend the usage somewhat. The main thing is getting some oxygen into the mix. Just doing big gulp after big gulp of nitrous is actually just going to lead to near asphyxiation and a blacking out kind of feeling.

Its obvious SWIY has never been devoted to N02. SWIM reads SWIY's posts and finds it odd that there hasnt been a realization down the nitrous line considering all the other lines realized.. For everyone its different, granted, but this shit is intense as anything. try to get them to jack it up next time your at the dentist because if it isnt pharmaceutical your missing out on the deliciousness. SWIM approves this message.

My pet monkey always comes to shows with me, and loves getting balloons afterwards. What he says he does is take real deep breaths, but relaxed breaths, not just giant gulps. And breathes in and out of the balloon until he starts to feel the effects. Then does it again with whats left in the balloon then breathes out real slowly.

He's fished out a few times while walking away, so I'm pretty confident this technique works for him.
