Why does liquid N go bad if opened

[IrRegularjoe]

I don't really understand. If I open a bottle of alcohol it's fine. But I guess beer once you open you pretty much have to finish it.

Probably oxidizes in some way...?

Ask on reddit, some glib motherfucker will smell the Platinum Silver Extra Gold karma and deliver an annoying and cringey ELI5 for you.

Yes, I agree with you. You do not understand it.

I will explain you, of course metaphorically.

You get a date with a wonderful and charming girl, best date ever, and you invite her to dinner at your home.....a candles, romantic music and a faint light. And you bought the best wine on the market.....500.

And now, you imagine it.............when your girl arrive at your home is exactly the perfect moment to open the bottle ......................or you will put over the table a bottle by half and cold, from the fridge. sadly, the girl will run away from you.

At this point is when the bottle must be opened.

Yes. Liquid N. is sterile. When you break the seal, you break the vacuum. If it comes into contact with open air (oxygen), the chemical component (Pentobarbital) will erode fairly quickly.

So about how long will it be potent if opened?

Well, I'm not a chemist but from what I've read and understood, about a month if you keep it in an even, low temperature environment.

Normally it is 28 days maximum from the opening of the bottle. However, i recommend you to check this information :)

(Sorry for my english !)

Well f*ck.. I partially opened the rubber cap of one of my bottles of N to see if I could reach the liquid.. I guess I fucked up by doing so.

I may have to buy another pair.

Why did you do that? If you don't mind me asking.

I was close to CTB about 2 weeks ago.
I had bought 2 bottles of N from A about 2 months ago to get ready.

I destroyed the metal cap on the bottles, to be able to drink the N more quickly by accessing it faster, if that makes sense.
One bottle, I opened the "last cap" before the liquid, which in my case is a grey rubber cap.. I didn't know doing so would mess up the liquid N.

The other bottle, I destroyed the metal cap, but didn't touch the rubber.. So I guess one out of the 2 is still okay.
I'll have to drink the two bottles to make sure I die peacefully the next time I CBT.

I pussied out, I was scared at the last moment... I found it hard to kill myself like that..

Yes, sadly you are so right.

That sucks. I hope one day there's N but it doesn't expire and the antiemetic is worked into the solution. Wishful thinking. Get on it Nitschke! Lol

Test it at lab in a couple weeks and report back (unbanning). This info is very much needed.

Hi, I tried to kill myself last night. Broke the seals on both my vials of Pisabental and poured them into a glass. I couldn't go through with it so I put clingfilm over the glass and placed it in my fridge, but I guess I can't rely on it to work any longer now, right?

I've read that it'll be good for about a month once opened.

Oh god thats awfull for you .So you are going to be forced to use it fairly soon thats pressure .Thats what i fear id do if i opened it then and i back out ! i desperately want to take it as well .i wish someone could set up a way to get it into your stomache without drinking it ,i couldnt drink it in 1 and i struggle with breathing so if the taste is so bad as everyone says id be gasping for air and trying to drink more i will struggle with it also have deal with the taste and drink more eeewwww .1 bottle is enough ive read but if you can drink more its best to .any new devices out there to get this in our stomache let us know lol.i cant o any physical methods as i lose my breath just moving about in bed .so im limited .

I had the most painless, reliable means of escaping this world and I couldn't go through with it, which tells me that I'm not ready to die yet. I feel pretty shaken up about it. I called up my mum and told her what happened, and I'm going to be staying with my parents for a while. I'm young and physically healthy - maybe I'll try again when I'm a lot older and sicker, if I'm still fortunate enough to have the opportunity.

For now I'm keeping it in an airtight container in my fridge, but I doubt I'll end up using it. It feels bad to waste something that precious.

I wish you all the best.
Take all the time you need to find out if there are other ways that might relieve you of your pain.

btw
Also, and this is not directed at you personally so please don't take it the wrong way, but for anybody reading along.
I just wanted to warn people that this is exactly the kind of post that scammers make.
They give you the idea that they no longer need their N in the hope that you contact them through PM to ask them if they might be willing to sell it to you.
