Did anyone ever try breathing oxygen?
 

Air has 21% oxygen.

Did anyone try to breathe 100% oxygen?

I've tried it. Its good stuff. They sell it in a can in Japan.

Yes, they sell it especially in highly polluted cities.

do they still have O2 bars?
I remember tring that at a convention about 6 years ago

does it make you feel better or something?

I remember the oxygen bar fad too.

Did it when I fainted on a flight, almost like a small high doing it. You feel very good afterwards.

Sure, you get a high, keep taking it and get brain damage.

No but I'd try it :)

clean shit :)

Of course. I even breathed 160% oxygen (100% O2 at a 1,6bar pressure (6m under water), which makes it like breathing 160% oxygen). You can only do that for 15 minutes, than change to some other gas, like air for 5 minutes, or you will get central nurveous system poisoning.

I used to use 100% O2 for decompression in diving, now I use Nitrox 50 instead and switch to it on 21 meters while ascending. It's safer than pure O2.

Besides popular believe that breathing pure O2 makes you feel better, I do not think it makes any difference.

Oxygen is in the air. In some Cities the air is polluted, I was in a City like that once.

Great for adults? It causes blindness in infants. Anyway, anyone have any medical links that show ACTUAL physiological benefits?

I went to a place maybe 10 years ago. It was cool, but I never went back.

I'm sure there's a portable home version of it now. That would actually be cool to have.

Just because the air is polluted, doesn't mean that it has significantly less O2, just more other crap mixed in.

I've been tempted to try it a couple of times to see what it's like. There is at least one place I know of in the States that sells it in a can, I think it's called Big Ox.

You won't be able to tell any difference, it's all in your head. I'm a rebreather dive instructor, you can use oxygen in decompression. Use it under pressure and it can kill you. Pure oxygen for up to 48 hours will poison you. Oxygen of itself is considered a deadly gas. These oxygen bars, cans, and other bullshit is just a way to separate you from your money.

NM... mispost :P

It's wile the first time you try one of them, that's for sure.

I heard somewhere that if you breathe 5 times more oxygen in your life, you will shorten your life by 5 times.

its OK but I like nitrous better :)

Did a few oxygen bars and it was nice:)

Mr. Romance

Thanks for the info. i havent use Oxygen to breathe and now you give me an idea. well yeah too much of everything will give us no good.

Air contains 21% oxygen. When you breathe, your lungs only use 6% of the oxygen in that breath. That's one of the reasons mouth to mouth resusitation works. There is still plenty of oxygen in an expelled breath.

Interesting ....... thanks.

My gf farts so much I've got use to breathin methane

When I was in the Air Force we used to jump in a cockpit, strap on a mask and breath 100% Oxygen for 10 or 15 minutes to help cure a hangover. Worked wonders for me.

I was waiting for a canned fatfoo post :winkwink: :winkwink:

What rebreather so you use? I am trimix diver and PADI instructor. Just getting ready for my TX20/30 wreck dive tomorrow.

No, but I tired breathing nitrogen.

I have a 10 year old Drager Dolphin for recreational diving. I'm also a retired PADI, NAUI and SDI/TDI instructor. Where are you diving? I'm a lightweight now. No more deep or cave, lost too many friends.

Put nitrogen in your car's tires. It's better.
