- As far as inhaling that last bit of nitrous goes (when the cannister pressure =
- outside pressure), it's not really a problem-- you can just suck the rest out
- while holding the valve down.
-
- However, regarding overfilling of a cannister, a friend of mine once loaded
- 4 cartridges, and when he tried to take a hit the force of the nitrous threw
- his head back! It took about five tries (and an unfortunate amount of wasted N2O)
- until the thing was down to a manageable pressure. I think 2, at most 3,
- cartridges is probably a good number (even 3 might take some practice &-}).
-
- BTW, I second that request for info on acquiring nitrous in tanks (prices,
- availability, different tank sizes, etc). Also, I've heard mention of different
- grades of N2O, such as medical, commercial, etc. Is the gas in cartridges of a
- lower quality than nitrous from a tank?
