SN vs N2

[Exact Change]

There seems to be a majority of ppl here who choose SN as their choice of exit. Before learning of SaSu, I always thought helium or N2 would be preferable. Is there a reason why SN is so much more preferred?????

I think helium is very accessable isnt it? Nitrogen too cuz its used for brewing beer. Maybe I'm wrong

Most helium sold for general use is diluted and won't kill you (they've done this intentionally). I think people are put off by nitrogen because of the equipment involved. It's easier to try to order one or two small items than it is to order a tank, get it filled, get the regulators, hose, etc and put it all together. In my opinion (and I have nearly completed the Nitrogen method), Nitrogen is more peaceful and a sure bet if you do it right...and it's not *terribly* difficult to do it right, but it's not as easy as mixing powder in water and taking a couple pills in advance. I will always prefer nitrogen method if I have the time to purchase the components, but I have a spare bottle of SN for any emergency situation (ie, SHTF in the world, whatever).

I agree with this. I live with other people and it would be hard to hide a tank of helium/N2 around, and storing it in my car wouldn't be safe if I ever had a car accident, which could potentially turn the gas tank into a missile. I'm sticking to SN for now.

Can carry it anywhere with you . Also easy method.

I used to want to do the n2 method, but n2 is prohibitively expensive and difficult for some. I thought maybe propane would have a similar hypoxic effect, since propane is cheap, but thats... not a good idea
So I turned to hydrogen sulfide. Fairly accessible materials and instant painless death. Maybe youd be interested?

N2 seems the most peaceful exit but the setup seems complicated,

My first method is exit bag with argon and backup is SN. Argon gas was a bit expensive but all the other materials were fairly cheap. It's obvious that the exit bag is the more peaceful one but it can be a headache to put together. not rocket science or engineering since all the instructions calculations have been done for you, it just takes a lot of preparation, not an impulse kind of thing

difficult for some

Not for a Gentoo user.

Have you solved the issue of measuring the gas concentration?
