Hey everyone.I am new to this forum.I noticed alot of people were having trouble getting prescribed to o2.The easiest way around that is go buy an oxy-acetylene torch for about 200 bucks from northerntool.It includes a regulator and can be modded very easily with nostril tubes or a mask.Believe it or not the o2 used in the welding industry is as pure and uncontaminated as that of the medical industry.Many pilots use welding grade o2 instead of paying airport/hanger prices.For a 20cf refill it costs me about $25.

Welcome to the board Heath. Glad you found us. Just want to caution against using the nasal canulas, we find people get the fastest aborts when 100% pure 02 gets to the lungs at a rate to support hyper-ventialtion. Nasal Canulas and re breather masks allow too much atmospheric air into the mix, dramatically reducing the percentage of 02. But great advice on the welding 02. Just as pure as the stuff in the medical grade bottles. Wink

Heath,
Nostril tubes?  Are you serious?  Does it really work? 

20cf or 200cf refill for $25? 

How does the $200 dollar torch help?

You only use the regulator i presume. With the torch you can beat something up during an attack.
