Helium - my experiment

[auto138491]

I found these amazing scuba diving masks that cover the entire face AND release the CO2 somehow. The other option was a CPAP machine mask and tube. Has anyone else tried these? Any results?

Sooo.. the mask and the tube are here. They fit very well. Took an anti emetic. I am going to try out the method within a few minutes. Am kind of excited about it. Like I won't CTB today, but if I can get the SPO2 to drop a little bit ..maybe up to 40 or mid 20s, that will be a win. And I need to see the time it takes to make that drop. That much gas i should have for the attempt.

The whole experiment lasted 6 minutes. I panicked and was breathless. I am going to sleep for some time now. Will try again later tonight.

The next thing lasted 2 minutes. OMG the panic and the disorientation are SO REAL. I have not felt like this in a long time! I had no idea where I or anything else was! The first time, I didn't know how to turn off the knob and the second time, I threw the mask away wihtout even realising it. Surprisingly, both times, the SPO2 did not drop a lot. Not even as much as it drops usually with a balloon. Would anyone know why?
