Great. I have to check with the Ministry Of Finance, but I think I'm going to buy it. While I'm at that site, I might as well see if I can get the bubbler, non-rebreather mask and the tubing, too!
Thanks again.

Hey Jeep,
It looks like there are several different types. You need to make sure the regulator you buy not only flows to 15 lpm, but also has a threaded yoke assembly to hook to your tank correctly. Maybe jonny can help make sure you get something that will fit.

Yes... This is what I was thinking, Blue. When is that scruffy, shaggy bloke due to return, anyway? 
Thanks!

That's an "E" tank regulator. Beauty. The big tanks use different regulators.
No matter. The question is: which one supports a bubbler? All the 'bubblers" I've found do not fit a standard air line. They screw into something else:
It's that threaded nipple that must screw into the bubblers I've seen. Yet, if that's the regulator's output, what stoppers the male nipple. After years of sucking dry air, I long to Bong.
Save me,
RJ

Hrmmm... Thanks, RJ. If I could find a whole setup, that would be great. If possible, I would rather not have one of the big "H" tanks. A small tank and setup that I could use at night, then throw in the back of the Jeep and take to work, would be ideal. I don't mind having to get it refilled more often.
Maybe I'll browse around at the medical supply place tomorrow, and get the adapter, bubbler, tubing, and mask.
Thanks again. I appreciate the help.

It's not that you can't get what you want. It's that if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it. Well, you might be able to afford it, but you'll have to ask Two or Three people to get a decent answer.
The bubbler thing is driving me crazy, along with the rest of you people.

Let me drive you a little bit crazier ... How to make your own bubble.
Take an empty (preferably cleaned out, too) mayonaise jar. I used a bungie cord to strap it to my tank. In the cover, drill two holes, just large enough for the air hose to fit into. Cut the hose, long enough so that the line from your regulator reaches to the bottom of your bottle. Then take the other end of the cut hose, and stick it into the cover just far enough so that it sticks through the lid about a quarter of an inch. Use a silicone sealant around each hose.
You now have a home made, yet fully functional bubbler.
Now just send me your credit card number, and we will be even!!!   (JK!!!)

Necessity is the mother of invention, and Chuckles, you re-define mother and invention.
That's a great idea, but you'd need to seal the air holes drilled with silicone, putty, or plumber's dope (they smoke really cheap crap.)
You're idea might work, just like sucking O2 strait outta the hose if ya can't fine a mask, but......I'm looking for a little bit more finesse here.
Does ANYBODY know how to make these fucking bubblers screw on to a regulator?

O.K. Hap. It depends on what type regulator you have. The cap of the bubbler should have a female thread. If you do not have a male threaded connection coming from your regulator, you need to remove the hose connection and replace it with a male threaded fitting.
ps. Don't replace the mayo jar with a Pabst Blue Ribbon can. IT WON'T WORK.

Damnit, Blue, yer driving me crazy. It's about time to come up with recommended regulators, parts numbers, suppliers, and a PDF instructo-manual on how to do this, including the damned bubblers.
I'm on a mission from God,

If it's of any help here's my experience:
Dealt/Deal w/a nasty, arrogant Neuro who doesn't 'feel comfortable' w/greater than an 8ml/sec flow of O2. Since that doesn't cut it I just take off the regulator completely, turn the top knob and inhale, turn off, wait, exhale and begin the process all over. I'm guessing a flow rate here of approx 1000 ml/sec and the headaches vanish quickly.

I wouldn't advise that procedure Not. I understand what you're saying, but some people may not realize the pressure in one of those tanks. You open that valve too much and whoa......
