Method Charcoal method - CO analyser TPI DC710

[Tommen Baratheon]

In the past I did a lot of research on the helium method, but lately I've been looking into the charcoal method. I remember from earlier discussions you'd need a CO analyser and not a cheap CO meter. The cheaper models make you believe they can measure up to 9.999 ppm, but in reality they measure CO2 up to 9.999 ppm and CO up to 999 ppm. This model, TPI DC710

can measure between 0 and 10.000 ppm. The higher the ppm value, the faster one will be unconscious and then ctb. Since I'm only starting to look at this I have no idea yet* what value of ppm can be reached by using the charcoal method. CO poisoning comes with headache and I don't know if Paracetamol will counter-effect this, so the faster I'm out, the better.

This model costs around £ 404 (€ 466) which isn't cheap, but hey, you only ctb once, right?

* I'll have to take a closer look at the carbon monoxide megathread.

Suicidal Carbon Monoxide Poisoning by Formic and Sulfuric Acids - PMC

In 1987, a case report was published in the German journal Archiv für Kriminologie describing an apparently novel method of suicide in which the decedent produced a lethal amount of carbon monoxide by mixing formic acid and sulfuric acid. This ...

Planning to use this method myself. I have done some research too, we could share what we know if you want.

Lets get out of this world

There's quite a few articles of this on the "news" section of Google. Its actually crazy how many reports there are of this when you look at the news articles.

Then there's the news articles of people off-roading, getting stuck in the mud, blocking the tail pipe and dying - again quite a few.

This one is available on Amazon's with a "payment plan" option - is it the right kind? TPI 707 Carbon Monoxide Analyzer https://a.co/d/00qa0uEX

This is the one I purchased. Got it for under $300 US shipped.

Have you tested it? Figured I could check my water heater maybe? I think everything here is electric though
Ugh like OP said about the co vs co2 ppm - this product listing says it goes up to 999ppm CO but others say it reads up to 9,999ppm - so now I'm having doubts https://www.grainger.com/product/TEST-PRODUCTS-INTL-Carbon-Monoxide-Analyzer-Built-3JYH1
Decided to email the company also- figured why not

No. Still in the box. I may test it, but only right before I'm ready to utilize it for its intended purpose. Measures up to 9,999 ppm CO.

From the Manual:

Accuracy
Range Resolution Accuracy
Carbon Monoxide 0-10,000 ppm 1 ppm +/- 5 ppm or 5%
Whichever is greater

It's an easy typo I suppose - they alternate so much between 10,000 and 9,999 and some use 10.0ppm when they list the details - trying to make sure my brain read 1000 vs 10000 correctly when so many listings skip the stupid comma is annoying.

The company confirmed its 10,000ppm CO so I went ahead and ordered one. $40/month payment plan. Maybe I'll test the situation and then return it. Gotta love Amazon's liberal return policy. I've sent back most of the "methods" I've wanted to try.
