Hi Ed,
I've been an O2 sniffer for about 15 years and it is the only thing I use. Like the rest, 8 to 10 lpm, 20 minutes max. If it hasen't calmed the beast in 20 minutes, it probably isn't gonna. I don't do meds (personal hangup) so the roughly 2 of 10 times it doesn't work I do the CH dance. I also chill the O2. I have a 1 quart plastic Thermos type canister with 25 feet of 3/8" plasict tubing coiled in it, filled with water and kept in the freezer. The 1/4" tubing on my O2 setup fits snugly inside the 3/8" stuff in the canister and seems to help. I don't know for sure 'cause that last cycle ended shortly after I started using chilled O2. I do think that was pure coincidence but you can bet the rent that I'll try it again if (ha ha ha) the beast comes back.
