Nitrous Joke right!?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WD1V

have yall seen these? crap my pellet gun uses the same thing, this wouldnt do anything would it? j/w if anyone has experience with this ebay "cheater kit" please inform me hahah lmao


also I was wondering if you could hook up more than one sneeky pete bottle to where you could hide the two bottles and when you hit it pull pressure from both, maybe youd have to run two complete setups but rig the wiring for both? also how do you install this on a tpi send pics please thanks

You can hide a 2lb bottle in a ton of places on the car, get creative.

2 lb??? why bother… I’ve yet to see a car that can’t have a 15LB stashed somewhere out of site with a little creativity. I have mounts for a 15lb under the spare tire cover in all my f-bodies even if I haven’t used them for a while.

I’ve seen 2 and 5lb bottles on bikes that didn’t stand out _that_ much…

The medical grade stuff comes in smaller, steel cylinders that are quite heavy and I don’t believe certified to be mounted in a vehicle. For that matter, they’re much harder to get your hands on then a your typical nitrous.

A friend of mine who I no longer hang out with was doing medical grade nitrous. He called it "whippetts" or something like that. They look exactly like those canisters. I no longer hang out with that friend for obvious reasons . I think that is just a legal front to sell the stuff to users.

Actually, nitrous is N2O mixed with a little bit of sulpher dioxide which would make you sick if you tried to abuse it. As far as I know you need a special license to get the medical grade stuff. Though I do know that the refills that I was getting at one local shop here had no traces of sulfer that I could smell (a friend of mine decided to open it and see how bad it really was at one point)

Whipits are the compressed whip cream containers that use N2O as a propellant. If you try to get some out of the can without flipping it over you’ll get a shot of pure N2O (I found this out when I was a little kid by mistake)

yes those are Whip Its. for a cheap high. the small black bottle is the "cracker" to open and inhale the smaller canisters or no2 bottles.

u can buy that kit from **** stores for 40$

most places carry pretty much pure N2O... rather then that custom Nytrous or whatever its called.... cheaper that way.

Oh, the nasty memories I have of my stupid high school days... What an IDIOT I was, with whippets. Using medicinal stuff for pleasure is called abuse, and it's dumb. I wish I nad never done it, even though I didn't experience any bad side-effects besides laughing uncontrollably for about five minutes and whacking my head into a wall - it only hurt after the effect wore off.

Yup, sounds like a legal front to sell the stuff. Dump it into your car, dump it into your lungs, it's just as stupid and a big waste of money either way.

them little bottles cost a few cents each. Go to cooking supply stores, its used to charge whip cream containers in resturnants and stuff, i used to use them every day, come nine in a pack, costs 3 bucks or something. its pure n20, no sulfer no nothing. completly odourless.

that guy is selling it for 43usd, plus 8 dollars shipping, 51 dollars usd for something that costs less then 4 dollars canadian (3 dollars usd)

if u want to try it (because it will work, but only for a slit second or so then its out of n20) then spend the 5 dollars and give it a shot. maybe on a scooter or something, with like 20 bottles, but otherwise. its a joke.

fun to get high off it tho. my buddies used to discharge a few of them into an empty whip cream container,(the resturant ones, for places that make their own cream). they'd laugh and keep laughing for a few minutes, or they just fill the containers with water and use them as watergun type thing and have mini-water fights in the kitchen
