Is the insert gas method the most peaceful one?

[stink144]

Is it?
Also where do I find the guide?

 

[Agon321]

If I had the energy, this would be my method, but I currently don't have the energy for the technical aspects. When done right, death is quick and pleasant. In a sense, it's like falling asleep.

There are threads like these, for example:

Exit bag and inert gas megathread

Exit Bag and Inert Gas Basics —A very, very long post, I know, but I feel like I've fielded a lot of questions about this, so I figured I'd spell out everything I know. Others on the forum should please add to this thread whatever reliable technical information they feel is appropriate for...

Nitrogen gas with EEBD hood Guide (Inert gas Method)

NITROGEN GAS WITH EEBD HOOD (INERT GAS METHOD) before I start this guide, let’s be honest this method is expensive (approximately 600 to 800 dollars)and you need minimum 1 -2 months to source the equipments and nitrogen gas cylinder. My tip for you to do it cheap, purchase the Chinese products...

I think so. I have the Nitrogen setup with an Exit Bag and when I tested my nitrogen and almost blacked out it felt very peaceful, like I didn't know what was going on around me. When I put the bag full of Nitrogen over my head and took a single deep breath it already felt like I was going to pass out.

Quick and peaceful, but takes a decent bit of setup and is very easy to mess up. Also tough for many people to acquire/hide canisters, which is why it's not more frequently used. And the nonzero chance of ending up as a vegetable if oxygen gets re-introduced at the wrong time.

Other than that, most peaceful method that is generally available.

I have often wondered why it isn't used more often. Will you please explain or point me in the direction to understand what you mean by the vegetable risk?

Method works by replacing oxygen with inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.

No carbon dioxide is produced when you breath these in, so no feeling of suffocation.

You pass out from lack of oxygen and then your brain and body start to shut down from the same.

The lack of oxygen causes involuntary muscle movements while unconscious, which are usually mild, but can sometimes cause the bag to slip off one's head. Why some people strap themselves down.

It take a bit for lack of oxygen to kill you. If the bag comes off at some point, you'll start breathing again, but may have significant brain damage, leaving you a vegetable.

Thank you for explaining. Truly. Isn't this easily remedied by using a scuba sort of mask instead? These masks are created for rather extreme underwater conditions, right?

For masks in general, the issues I've seen are finding a mask, potential cost, most masks require some kind of modification to work with inert gases, and that you cannot pre fill a mask like an exit bag.

Would suggest reading the above megathreads and the PPH sections on inert gases. They're more detailed than my mental recollections.

It's pretty peaceful, you might have heard people passing out a lot in gas accidents. It will take you out quickly. But acquiring tanks would be difficult it would be pretty huge and might be out of reach for many

It's a tie between Nembutal and Inert Gas.

 

[outrider567]

Yes, at least as per Das_Nichts--Nembutal is peaceful too, saw a demonstration at Pegasos on PBS many years ago
