I just got my regulator in today for my inert gas setup. I plan to ctb this Friday, I've got just a couple more logistical things to finish up. I get my final work paycheck this Thursday and would like to withdraw that on Friday, just so my family has cash and doesn't need to do any legal back and forth to get my money. I've got to create and print out a holographic will, and a couple other things. I've already tested my setup with a mannequin head and a gas detector and confirmed the exit bag gets around 1-2% oxygen with some bad testing. Once I do it for real, with a proper seal around my neck and such it'll probably be <1%. If I spray the N2 tube directly on the oxygen sensor it reads 0% oxygen.
I don't feel comfortable sharing photos as that's a moral problem for me, but while writing this, the forum did suggest this thread, of which mine is almost identical: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/sharing-my-set-up-for-inert-gas-before-i-ctb.177243/ . The only difference is I also have wrist straps, will strap my tank to a table leg, and I only have 3 body straps. I will keep the one around my chest loose so as to not restrict my breathing. I've got a 40 cu ft tank which should be about 10/11 still full.
I also did a test earlier where I filled my exit bag with N2 and breathed it in for 4-5 breaths over 30 seconds (I didn't put the bag over my head, just put my mouth to the bag.) I didn't pass out or anything but my oximeter dropped all the way down to 61% blood oxygen level. I'm sure I would have passed out in 10 more seconds if I'd kept breathing.
A final note that I was surprised by. It actually really not that loud. Certainly you don't need to worry about any apartment neighbors hearing and thinking it's a gas leak. I ordered a second flow meter as well that comes tomorrow. I'll use that to double check my current one is accurate.
