if you're lazy....

LN2 vaporizes....and will take up the oxygen inside your house. store it in your porch. not inside...

don't cold burn your hands and feet use sandals so your foot won't hurt benching...

don't use on pets

**suggestion of usage....freeze locks..and brake into private properties...what you do there...im not liable for/to

anyone remember the scene in Mighty Ducks where they spray the opponents jerseys with ln2 and shatter them rofl. Will never forget that


I store my dewar inside my tiny apartment, havent died yet! Probably because I usually have a full dewar with low pressure 5psi or so.

I have noticed white spots on my finger nails and small little red dots on my arms once in a while from getting a little too ginger with the lever ;)

Don't pour through the burn, Splave!

Mine are in the garage. Lots o ventilation there.

My dewars are filled and stored in my small office and I @#$%T 234%222222222 kjvsdkvc................ seem to b ef ine

Oh shit, I keep them in my benching/bedroom, would move them to some other room for sure....

Mine is in the small closet in my small office/benching room... so far still breathing

BUT

Brought up an interesting point I been meaning to relay

Last Friday I went to get my Dewar filled and only one guy was there, not the brightest bulb, and I was told he couldn't fill my dewar today. I, of course, FREAKED OUT, so he told me to go ahead and do it myself. He handed me a long metal hose and told me to pick any of the 160s and go for it.

kewl, I thought.

No gloves, so I wrapped my hands with the tails of my shirt and started filling my dewar. No probs but I couldn't remove the hose w/o a wrench so I left it hanging there. He had told me to just take off since I did the work the LN2 was free :P

Kewl I thought

Got home and at dinner the wife asked me what was wrong with my finger ?? Half way around my ring finger, where my wedding band sits, the skin was blazing red :eek: Maybe a bug bite I speculated ;) Then it dawned on me, the cold must have penetrated my shirt and frozen my rign without my knowing or feeling it, so,

I'm thinking I got severe frost bite. Been putting neosporin on it every day since and can't wear my rign out of town :D I mean... I might lose it right ;)

Seems to be getting better and no signs of gang green, but, was going to post that you should respect this shit cause it can get ya :shock:

TheBanik just beat me to it :)

I suspect you had an important safety point to relate, but I couldn't concentrate on the rest of your post after that line.

wow Maad, take care of that bro. When you work with a hazardous material long enough, you can get complacent. Not the best thing to do with shit that can seriously harm you.

Take caution and care my friends.

wtf you didnt feel it? or was the testosterone on swole rofl

it would numb you before you would ever feel that cold homie.
