Ligature strangulation: how to know when to tie the reef knot?

[snooperdooper]

So I believe that ligature strangulation is my absolute best method. I am working towards perfecting it but I'm wondering what signs you should look out for before tying the reef knot? That's the point of no return really and I want to be absolutely sure I've hit the no hurty veins and not the hurty ones.

Thanks for the audible laugh you just made me produce ;D

I have tried btw. and couldn't get anywhere close to a sweet spot yet. Even when applying a lot of pressure with the first knot, I only get a mild reaction, that only consists of slight 'exploding head' syndrome. Tried above and under Adam's apple.

i've honestly never been able to succeed with the ligature strangulation method. i don't know how other people are able to do it when it seems like you could just lay there forever without passing out. there are a lot of other posts talking about how they struggled to do it too.
