Help Going for full suspension after giving up on partial (need info)

[notHum]

I decided to go full suspension after giving up on partial hanging.

I currently need some info about the full suspension method.
I need to know about the knot, rope, height, etc.
Do i need to find my sweet spot?
Does it have to break my neck?
How do i avoid suffocating to death?
Resource link?

The thread said that he used a slipknot, but the wiki said that i should use a hangman's knot(I assume long-drop suspension is the same as full suspension). Does the knot even matter?

Full suspension just means that your feet are off the ground. From what I've read, I would not recommend using a hangman's knot. According to this:

Knot. A simple noose should do the job. For information on knots see http://www.realknots.com/knots/noose.htm, and note that the Hangman's knot is not suitable for this method. It is important that the knot tightens easily as pressure is put on the noose.

This is my method too and the threads about it here confuse me. In the wiki it says to put the noose at the bottom of your neck so it doesn't compress your trachea (the goal would be hypoxia, compression of the arteries) but the sweet spot IS close to the jaw. So I settled on just putting the noose where I feel a strong pulse, I don't care if I suffocate as long as I go unconscious fast.

Full suspension is best done with a free running slip knot. It will tighten around the neck better than a hangman's noose. The best location for the knot is at the base of the jaw on the left side. It will cut off the carotid quicker and easier this way. You will pass out very quickly, a matter of seconds. The rope should be about 1/2" to 5/8" thick so that it is strong enough to hold weight but thin enough to tighten easily.

Wow, and here I was thinking this whole time that it was on the right. I'm picking up lots of little useful pieces of information here recently. Thank you.

Thanks for that useful advice.

No, you don't necessarily have to end up with a broken neck.
