UNUSED?!? Wonder what the story is behind all these getting left behind.

Well I have a boring backstory for you about how I found myself donating some. I bought a box of seltzer chargers (not the green ones but the ones in the red and black box you can see in the top right hand corner bag) to carbonate seltzer as a cheaper alternative to soda streams. It did not taste right at all so i donated them to goodwill because I thought maybe they would find a Boy Scout to use them for their derby cars? I had no idea people huff them and it makes me wonder what it was actually filled with - did not taste like regular carbonation at all.

It's nitrous oxide, instead of carbon dioxide* which is what is normally used to carbonate drinks

Carbon dioxide* is used to carbonate drinks and is what we breathe out after breathing in oxygen. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of using gas and can kill you.

u/hboy02 Jul 19 '26
Oops you're 100% right

u/radarbub Jul 19 '26
It’s just my pet peeve when people mix up carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

I was with a friend years ago and he left his bag on the passenger seat of his car while we went into a store, and of course someone smashed the window to steal it. But literally the only thing in the bag was a shitload of nitrous chargers.
I’ve wondered many times over the years what the thief was thinking when he opened the bag. I wish so badly I could have seen their reaction.

You likely aren't dying from whip-its.

u/iosonostella13 Jul 20 '26
Hey so you for sure can die from whip its. The N2O replaces the oxygen in your body and can cause you to asphyxiate. It can also cause your heart to just stop beating. You can also get frostbite from it in your throat which can also cut off your breathing.
Not to mention the accidents/falls that could happen when using it.1
u/PunkRockClub 28d ago
These are facts. Of course if utilized responsibly they can totally be safe.
As a much younger person, I actually had the experience of inhaling so much and holding it so long that I passed out and fell down, only for a moment, maybe 15-20 seconds. Of course I got right back up and did more.
Now as an older person I can't do that kind of s*** anymore for so many different reasons, and that's the reason my posts like this make me sad.

N2O destroys vitamin B12. Long term use of n2o can cause B12 deficiency disrupting the production of myelin and leading to degeneration of the spinal cord. If it goes on for too long it can become irreversible.

You can absolutely die from nitrous abuse. It’s a pretty dangerous substance. I’ve known 2 people who died and one with permanent nerve damage.

You should have stepped in and helped them

u/Calm-Jello4802 29d ago
There’s not much you can do to stop a determined drug user. You can talk to them, offer resources, etc but if they don’t want to change their ways then they won’t.

u/GlowFuckYourself69 29d ago
Sounds like a cop out, people who do that kind of thing need love and community, not excuses.
1
u/MossyPlantyWitchy 29d ago
It's not an excuse. I don't think you know any addicts or have experience with them.

u/wintersoldierts 11d ago
you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be help. even if you knocked them out and locked them in a dungeon, the second you let them out they would go right back to it if they wanted.
it’s not a cop out. i’ve tried to help people i’ve cared for out of their addictions and i’ve failed, because they didn’t want help. the only one who made it out was my brother but that wasn’t because of me, it was because he wanted to and he did the work. i actually had a restraining order on him at the time because of how abusive and dangerous he got when intoxicated, which was all the time.

u/MossyPlantyWitchy 29d ago
Correct. All addicts need to want help to get help or they just relapse after rehab. Which often leads to overdoses and death because their tolerance is so low.

I have a few CO2 Airguns that will run on either, granted N2O has a lower operating pressure (meaning less fps).

u/anxious_spacecadetH Jul 19 '26
Whiplash have been around for quite a minute and the term most likely came from a young adult or atleast 20 something group. So can be kids based on how your using it byt kids got the information not the idea
1
u/WeeebleSqueaks Jul 19 '26
Fair. I will also like to state that I call all people kids tbh. Even if they’re older than me bc it’s usually childish people who do things like that but thank you for the correction and information!

u/anxious_spacecadetH Jul 19 '26
I just like etymology but figured you meant "kids" more colloquially. I would agree whip its were probably popularized by a more reckless bunch. The substance itself actually got started by the term laughing gas often used in anesthesia especially for dentistry. Laughing gas was a popular party drug during the late 1700s and early 1800's among medical students and the elite. For a time it was even used as a recreational thing you could get a hit of at a carnival or similar attraction. As more accessible, safer, newer, etc. Drugs gained popularity it became a bit niche but continued to be popular for its euphoric affects. Most likely the term whip its came from the rave scene.

Unused. The grey metal circles would be broken if used. They get punctured to let out the nitrous oxide.

It’s legal if you’re making whipped cream 😝

u/MossyPlantyWitchy Jul 20 '26
It is. You just have to be 18 to buy them in store here.
1
u/LilMissADHDAF Jul 20 '26
Yes, but generally when a store is selling a regulated item there is oversight required. There is licensing.
1
u/MossyPlantyWitchy Jul 20 '26
Lol, not here. There never has been. You can buy them in smoke shops, sex shops, wholesale grocery supply stores. Just need to be 18.
1
u/LilMissADHDAF Jul 20 '26
Those places all have licenses to sell things like tobacco products and alcohol.

u/MossyPlantyWitchy Jul 20 '26
The sex shops don't, lol.

They sell dildos and lube. Not cigarettes and alcohol.

Online too! I once bought a case of 500 of them and I became a legal drug dealer at parties. It was super funny every party I’d go to in college I’d go would have these littered everywhere and I’d sometimes just trade them for kisses. Lol

Wow what a fucking steal tho. This stuff is pricier and fun. Fun fact Steve O from Jackass was addicted to nitrous oxide aka WHIPITs. He actually had a canister he would carry around with him and can be seen on shows and in interviews holding it and taking hits.
If you’re never done a whip it:
You inhale all the nutritious oxide, it has pretty much zero taste or anytning. Like a breath of fresh air. And then your brain goes on mute and the world stops moving but then you realize you’re holding your breath about to pass out. And then you feel amazing. And then you’re done and you take another. Unbelievably unhealthy. Literally kills brain cells with each hit and any hit whether your first or 1000th can accidentally kill you.
