Title: 02
Post by cat14 on Feb 20^th, 2005, 6:27pm

AM I the only one that 02 doesn't do the trick, I have tons of it here and I have the right mask and 15lps.so I just don't know why it doesn't work for me. Am I more strange than I thought?????????

It works for me MOST of the time if I get to it quick enough, however, Monday I got to it immediately and I completely drained an E tank along with taking a jab and could not break the hit....

Wish I knew kid!

Oh yeah ......Maybe you are stranger than you thought ;)
But that's cool too :)

No. But sometimes, it's a matter of catching it quick and technique. Never wait. Then do the following:

1. Cut the strap off the mask.
2. Make sure the intake valve (between the bag and mask) is functioning properly.
3. Put tape over the exhaust valves on the sides of the mask so they don't work.

Procedure:
1. Turn on the O2 and let bag fill.
2. Press mask against face with one hand and squeeze the bag with the other hand, inhale deeply.
3. Release the bag and pull mask slightly away from face, exhale through mouth, blowing the air down away from the mask.
4. Repeat #2 & #3.

Doesn't mean it'll work, but sometimes it's a few minor details that make the difference between success and nuclear proliferation. Try to get a tight face seal when inhaling. That's all I got.

Good Luck,
RJ

I don't know, yet. I'm going to beg my neuro to let me have 02! I'll go to see him in March (6th).
