He should try a jar. That didn’t work for me either, but as a frog it might be more difficult.

I got fucking jarred on whipits last night
Look, just one more. And then another after that. And like two more because I had a ringer and I want to keep it going.
If you're not hitting two at a time are you even living?
Two? A balloon can comfortably fit four. And if you buy those giant balloons? 20 charges. Surrounded be amateurs here.
Yeah ok I don't even understand this anymore. How the crap are whip cream chargers put in a balloon? Why?
why haven't I tried this lol
You can either use a typical barista/restaurant style whipped cream can or you can pick up a cracker from a head shop. The whipped cream container is a bit less grippy on the balloon than a proper cracker, but you don't have to worry about your hands getting too cold. The gas is compressed so it comes out very cold.
Hitting them from a balloon is a lot more pleasant than hitting them from a whipped cream compressor, and balloons are absolutely necessary for a cracker or a tank. A tank without a balloon would likely freeze your lungs and kill you. It also facilitates putting an absurd amount of gas into two or three balloons and going through them a bit faster. It doesn't stay in your system long, so you kind of have to work at it to get a decent dose all at once.
The nitrous itself is actually fairly benign, but you have to make sure you take air in with it or you can get light headed and maybe pass out. But that'd happen with any concentrated non-oxygen gas being inhaled in large quantities. So always sit down, and pace yourself.
Doing way too much way too often can lead to this weird wrinkly hand condition apparently, but I've never met anyone who's even come close to doing that much that regularly. Most people I know who've gotten into it either buy a few balloons at shows or pick up a box of carts once in a blue moon. It's incredibly addictive for a very very short time and then really not remotely. Probably why it isn't restricted in the US at all. I've seen it sold at concerts in front of cops many times. And there's definitely no hiding it. You can hear a tank from easily a quarter mile away.
Wait, it's just the stuff they use at the dentist?
Now I'm confused, I didn't think you could buy those in tanks or charges I thought it was always carbon dioxide
Yep, it's nitrous oxide. It can be purchased in 3 grades. Medical grade requires some kind of licensing, food grade does not. Don't inhale industrial grade nitrous.
I thought it was implied that they were triple balloons.
I tried laughing gas two times. Once otherwise pretty sober and once on acid. It was an interesting short trip but it was the only drug I ever did where I could actually feel my brain die when I do it. I most likely won't try it again.
Don't be a pussy just do another one /s
Noone calls me a pussy without giving me brain damage!
Hmm, I did some research awhile ago and the professional consensus seems to be that they're perfectly safe as long as you're not depriving yourself of oxygen while doing them.
There's a reason it's called "hippie crack"
DXM made me feel like I had minor brain damage for like 40 hours afterwards
Totally agree. Laughing gas is the only.drug I could feel my brain dying with every breath. Out of all the ones I have taken, whip hits is the worst. PCP and Crack didn't make me stupiders. Sucking on the balloon did
As far as safety goes, nitrous oxide is one of the safest ones out there. You'd have to be seriously negligent to harm yourself (short or long term) on whipits
As long as you take some oxygen with your hit and you sit down. People have definitely bonked their heads trying to do nitrous while standing up or even walking around.
Are whipits addictive?
There is a reason computer duster has a chemical irritant added to it to dissuade people from inhaling it
Computer duster is a completely different thing. Common duster gases include hydrocarbon alkanes, like butane, propane, and isobutane, and fluorocarbons like 1,1-difluoroethane, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. All extremely dangerous.
Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas" or "whip-its") is what the dentist gives you. Fairly harmless unless used for prolonged periods, or if used in such a way that you are being deprived of oxygen.
In stores it commonly has delicious whipped cream added to it to encourage people to consume it. These also require food-grade nitrous oxide, and contain no other chemicals for FDA safety reasons.
