An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Did anybody respond on this? In general I'm a little confused by "masks" versus "hoods"
No, nobody responded to me but I bought it any why and it works the same. Whoever I'm looking for the best way to connect it to the cylinder
You can try a CPAP mask like mine. For example, I will use a cream siphon and small N2O cylinders instead of a cylinder. I will fill the oxygen bag with gas and then attach the tube and mask. But if you have already bought a 10-liter cylinder and the necessary tools for it, then it is better to use it.
In theory, any mask should be airtight. But you can read reviews about it, in extreme cases, you can fix it on your face with duct tape.
Personally, I feel that important details like that are left out here (unnecessarily) due to concerns of shutting websites down. But when it's general shit like connectors and stuff, come on!!
I don't know about that I feel cutting it will result in the possibility of more mistakes
Yes exactly it's hard to find answers over here
That's how it's done. You have to extend the existing hose with another "similar" hose. You do that by cutting the "fitting" off the existing hose, and then inserting one end of a "barb" into one hose, and the other end of the barb into the new piece of hose. This joins the 2 pieces of hose together.
This method looks like the biggest pain in the ass possible. Way too complicated for most of us.
Why would they? You just buy a piece of hose that matches the inside diameter of the existing hood hose. However, if someone had two hoses with different inside diameters, they do make barb fittings to accommadate this. They're called reducing barbs. With one you could connect a hose with a 1/4 inch diameter on one side of the barb, and on the other side connect a hose with a 1/2 inch diameter inside dimension. Or, get one for whatever sizes you need. Frankly, I could get a smaller ID hose over a too-large barb, within reason of course, if I had to, simply using some muscle, maybe a little lubricant, maybe softening up the hose a bit in some boiling water.
The barb coming from the flow meter is 5/16". I'm unable to find a double sided barb that fits this and 3/8" (assuming) of the eebd hose. Would 2mm difference (0.07" barb being bigger than hose) be too much to fit the barb?
This?
So I thought of ordering a barb size from the flow meter that's 3/8" output. Problem is it's a M12 (and I don't know if it's x1 or x1.5). They are VERY hard to find. Found only one and it costs me €50 just for the shipping. For a single barb.
No oil. Spit or liquid dish soap. The difference between 5/16" and 3/8" (or the near metric equivalent because of your locale) is not that much. It might slide on with little effort and no lube.What kind of oil would you recommend to make the tight 5/16" hose fit on the 3/8" double sided barb?
