    I did not feel to safe about it. I took back roads about 60 miles home at 1:30am. Sweating bullets all the way.

    Same as in our facility. They're chained together with a cap over the valve assembly.

    OP, the reason you cannot inhale nitrogen (if you didn't already know...apologize if I'm stating the obvious) is that you can suffocate yourself.

    I wonder what pressure the bottle is at, I'm thinking probably 2000 psig.
    I did not know why not to inhale it I just knew I did not want to. I'm a drinker, not a druger.

    I'm thinking of buying a regulator just to see the pressure it has. They are really cheap.

    maybe sell it to a minitrucker. there are a ton in the springfield/branson area and a nitrogen setup is initially cheaper than buying compressors and a tank.
    I don't know any mini truckers but I'll see what I can do.

    Sell it to a mech in the aviation industry. They use nitrogen in the tires and shocks for some jets/aircraft.
    I came across that info, I got to reading into it a little. Its pretty fascinating to be honest.
