So I’ve been thinking about the Helium method, since its the least painful, and seems the quickest.
I do not have access to firearms, and dousing myself in gasoline and lighting a match doesnt seem like a peaceful and painless way to go out gracefully.
And no, please no “dont do it” this website is for those of us who are ready to make the final step, and if i cant get the helium method to work, i will just have to go out on the train tracks, and wait for a freight train, although I think it might hurt (even for a split millisecond) and I dont want my mom to have to pick up my remains thats spread out over a 90 acre area (thats what the cremation is for.)
So over to the question.
Some people say I should get a 14.9 cubic feet tank to be sure, i calculated that 15 cubic feet is approximately 424 liters, I must use liters since i live in Europe, and we use the metric system. The store Im planing on buying from sells 8 liter tanks, thats 1400 liters of helium, (says its enough to about 60 balloons)
if i were to get a 15 cubic feet tank, thats a 425 liter tank (the biggest they have is 50 liters, and thats 9000 liters of helium, enough for 450 balloons) so that means 9 – 50 liter tanks, and thats 81000 liters of helium, probably enough to fill up a hot air balloon.
And its expensive too.
If i were to get all those tanks, and link them together it will set me back enough money to buy a car.
So, please help me out here, is it 14.9 cubic feet of helium, or a tank that is 14.9 cubic feet in size, and holds an insane amount of helium.
Hope someone will help me here, im desperate, and dont give me no shit, im 30 years old, and thought about ending it the first time when i was 9, and have been suicidal ever since, but never had the guts, since its not the pain im after (no emo cutter here) and im not after attention, if it was then id walk up to a bridge and scream “im gonna do it”
All I want is to be left alone, and end it all.
Tanks in advance.
Kman.

Yes the 15.9 cubic feet is 424 liters, that’s the amount (volume) of helium that the tank will pump out until it’s empty. If you empty it at 15 liters per minute then it’ll go for about 25 minutes at that flow rate, which I’ve seen write as more than adequate.
The tank itself looks to be about 1 or 2 cubic feet in size. I have 2 one is in a nearly cubic box about 1×1 foot at the base but then it’s taller maybe 2 feet tall for head space. Anyway the tank is under pressure. So the gas inside the tank is compressed. That’s why the size of the tank is smaller that 424l or 15.9 cubic feet.
People write about connecting the tanks but I plan to simply run one hose from each 15.9 tank, two hoses straight into my hood. My neck cord’s a little tighter to compensate for the tiny little extra space around a 2nd hose coming up my neck into my hood.
From what I’ve seen, compressed gasses are sold by the volume you get when the tank’s been discharged and empty. People seem more concerned about how much helium they’re getting (at atmospheric pressure) than what the size of the tank is.
If you buy one of the small 8-liter sized tanks you mentioned, and it pumps out 1400 liters of helium then that thing will go for about an hour and a half at 15 liters/minute. So the smallest tank you mentioned will be almost double what I have (two 424 liter tanks) which itself is double what the literature recommends.
Probably we will both go to Heaven. And float there quickly in our houses as well.
Thank you so much for your answer!
im looking for hoses now as well, but dont see anywhere they are for sale online, but i will get a regulator first, and see what i get.
The tanks sold for balloon helium doesn’t come with a regulator or anything i think, just one of those things you push down to let air out, sort of a vent on a tire.
