Hello Folks
I been searching and Researching for a painless way to CTB without fail and I accidentally come across this website SS. from here I learned a lot and I was surprised there's a lot of folks here who wants to CTB and helping each other out.
I learned a lot here from people like Vizzy and GasMonkey.

My current situation is different I have my dad age 90 and had Microvascular Ichemia with that he had Memory issues, Cognitive Decline, Memory Loss, Behavioral Change, Loss of weight, low appetite.
This affected me a lot, there's only 2 people in my family me and my 90 years old dad.
I have my father since the beginning of my life we have each other thru thick and thin.
If my father is gone then I have to be gone too.

My life is been very stressful and very emotional I really want to CTB.
The only thing that holds me back is my religious faith, I'm afraid that there might be a spiritual world where in the time of judgment we will be judge.
Imagine your already living in a tormented life so then you CTB knowing that you no longer exist that you escape this life of torment but then you awaken in purgatory where there is no point of return that's scary.

But Anyway Let's go to the main point.
I need help for a Nitrogen CTB set up.

I was reading a thread from Vizzy and his Nitrogen set up it's a bit complicated I really need a detailed information.

1. EEBD Hood I live in US and it's not easy to find this hood I seen some in EBay but I don't know if will be the right one, Then on Alibaba Website. So anyone here knows where to get this EEBD hood and the Exact Model? and how to obtain it in detail

2. Nitrogen this is not easy to obtain even Vizzy didn't say how he obtained it?
Can anyone from US or anybody that knows how to obtain Pure Nitrogen? I check some websites but it's not easy to many things to go through, anyone knows how to obtain a Pure Nitrogen right size that can purchase online available to ship in US and explain in detail how to obtain it.

3. Flow Meter how to set it up with Vizzy thread is bit hard to understand he uses extra hoses crimping tool then those ferrule stuff
Anyone can explain it in detail understandable and what is the right model to obtain.

I want to buy and set it all up so when that time has come to CTB I will be ready and prepared.

I have some of Vizzy list on EBay and it cost a lot around $800-$900 but I wanna make sure everything is correct so If someone here a professional CTB Nitrogen set up Expert can see the link and list let me know if all is good or something is wrong ok please!

So far this is all the list I got from the Vizzy thread I know I'm still missing some items like the extra hoses and this barb or ferrule stuff chair etc..

So anyone out there a CTB Nitrogen set up expert can you check my list and let me know if this are good or wrong any errors let me know thanks.

How do you plan on connecting the end of the EEBD hood to the regulator/cylinder?

What would be wrong with using an exitbag? Personally I lost faith in the yellow Chinese hoods, there are far better ones on the market. But that is through my experience where I was still watching a film 5 minutes later when I turned the tap off and called it a night.

You've tried with an EEBD hood? Did anything else go wrong (other than you suspecting the hood wasn't right)? Did simply "nothing" happen at all or any adverse effects?
I'm strongly leaning toward to the classic exit bag too. I don't think we need to over-complicate this. (I will say though that the aesthetics of the bag aren't great. But oh well, I can live (or rather die ha!) with that…

Thank You.
Everyday waking up is a Torment.

Then going to my job doing all this same old routine is very stressful and tiring.
Existing is really difficult I'm truly doing everything I can for my dad.
But I'm so exhausted.
Sleeping is the best part of life
the torment is waking up.

My dad memory is getting poor every day,
Once he falls sleep 😴 he forgets most of the things happened previously.
It's just so sad to see my dad so different now really breaks my heart.

Anyway you said you just finish your Nitrogen?
Did you mean finish the set up? If you do?would you mind sharing the details of your set up in detail if possible pics and you obtain your nitrogen set up stuffs.

Any idea what the issue was? Vizzy had an O2 reading of zero using a mannequin and his ctb went flawlessly using a Chinese hood.

Sure, he did. And I got my O2 reading down to arond 40 using one of those cheap clip on finger things during a test. However, 40 won't kill you.
Those yellow hoods are I'm sure good as gold for supplying sufficient oxygen to get one out of a burning building.
I found the problem to be that the inner orinasal cover is made of a barely malleable hard plastic, whereas higher quality hods are some sort of soft latex material that closely fits to the facial contours.
The yellow hood does NOT inflate being made of PVC, and is obviously not airtight in the stitching.
Aware that the Canadian guy sold dozens {hundreds} of these kits, and we all have a great investment of belief that they will work; I am not here to blow this wish apart for anybody. So please save me the flak as it was a difficulty I had to work through myself.
I am not the only individual to fail with one of these yellow space helmets. A search here will back up my experience.
Exit bags seem to have a long history of success so after feeling like my feet were glued to the floor I went out and purchased the necessary and here's hoping.
I'll only add that I was really p!ssed off and couldnt believe that 6 minutes had ticked over and I was right as rain. No negative after affects at all.
Wishing you well guys and if anyone finds a better hood that doesnt run to $500 please let me know.

Please bear in mind Viz and I were in Thailand at the same time, we shared a lot of chat and he doubled up using SN.
I honestly wish you every success.

Can I ask which type/brand or material of an exit bag you're using now? I have mine (Reynolds brand/in the US) but I'm a tiny bit stuck on wondering if it's potentially (and dangerously so) too oxygen permeable.
