I usually feel a pulsating *boom boom boom* when taking a whippet. You get kinda dizzy and feel *high* (literally). Your voice changes (it becomes REALLY low..I am a female and I HATE, and refuse to talk once I take a whippet...hehe).

Be careful, whippets might seem like nothing but in my opinion I think they are WORSE than E and shrooms and stuff.

Whipit's are cartridges to make cream into whipped cream. you can find them at most sex shops. The gas is N2O known also as laffing gas. You use a cracker to break the seal into one of those punching balloons. Chances are the shop will have all the parts. If you have a choice to get metal crackers get them. They are worth the extra cost. After you have the gas in the balloon you inhale it and BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

Mmm, and they are rather nifty when on MDMA!

"reality" is the only word in the English language that should ALWAYS appear in quotes.

That said, I can see how people could damage themselves by taking a whippit and then holding it for an extended period, thereby doing damage via oxygen deprivation.

I know a guy who, while tripping on large amounts of LSD will take a whippit and quite literally hold it for 5 minutes or more. Extended periods like this can definately cause damage (although there are cases of yogi's going for much longer without damage).

I have suggested that he might find a mask that allows him to breath an oxygen and nitrous mixture to be useful and less dangerous, however I suspect that the lack of oxygen plays an important role in the effects of a whippit. I've done a bit of experimenting in this respect, and have found that a progression of effects similar to that one gets on whippits can be had simply by holding ones breath while tripping.

A few precautions:

Do not inhale directly from the whippit.
Compressed gas can get extremly cold when decompressed. You could get frostbite on your mouth, throat, or in your lungs. Use a bag or baloon.

Do not strap a mask to your face.
Unless theres' oxygen routed in with it. You could easily pass out and not be able to get oxygen. This would kill large amounts of brain cells. A balloon will fall away if you pass out.

Sit down when huffing.
You could easily pass out, and hurt yourself falling. Anyway, your mind is going to be on an astral plane, what's it matter where your body is?

Don't use daily.
Prolonged use of N2O has been linked with extreme vitamin B12 deficiency and neuralgia.

And of course don't drive or do anything else stupid while high. Isn't being high enough?

So this list sucks, so much stuff you can't do. All it really boils down to is common sense; keep oxygen going to your brain, and you'll be pretty much all right.

Does anyone know anything about the safety of automotive N2O; is it at all adulturated? Or impure enough to be dangerous?

Well, theres and understatement.
Inhaling directly from a whippit would be a bit more serious than a 'stupid stoner mishake'. You would be blasting liquid nitrous into your mouth (if you doubt that it goes liquid, try cracking one without a balloon on the cracker, but don't get in front of it, it can splash over a couple meters). This would be, to put it lightly, excruciating, and in extreme cases, fatal.

Try getting a slightly greasy balloon (whippets apparently contain a bit of lubricant for the bottle gaskets), not quite all the way onto the cracker (which you will not be able to detect, because everything is crawling around due to the acid or shrooms), then crack that sucker and watch the balloon fly off and liquid nitrous splash back onto your hands and everyone around you. You'll wish you had bought the bottle.

Doesn't happen often of course, but it only needs to happen once to convice most people.
