Friend of mine brought these when we went skiing out West (normally low elo folks) – taking a few rips of oxygen low key helped with breathing and avoided headaches I normally would get on those trips. Still can’t justify that price though lol
I’ve been working in compressed gases/cryogenics for 5 years and I’m still amazed at how big a scam these things are. The amount of oxygen in these things is worth, at most, pennies. The bottle is the most expensive part, and at the low pressures these things are charged to they’re not expensive either.
The only way these make sense is if you only have it for emergencies because it’s so light to carry. Regular consumption is just astronomically wasteful.
My husband has a small Cessna. One time while in the air, he started getting CO2 poisoning. Exhaust was coming in the cabin (?). He opened his two small windows and had to land ASAP while trying to stick his mouth through the opening for fresh air.
So I bought him like TEN cans of this stuff and now he keeps a couple in his plane, just in case he needs oxygen.
I used to work with fabricators and welders and they swore on the benefits of breathing pure oxygen from their gas cutting cylinders…..but usually as a hang-over cure!
I’m from Michigan and have bought these on Amazon for my mother while her oxygen machine was waiting approval. It wasn’t a great solution but it helped when she couldn’t catch her breath.
and yea. its about as light as an empty can as it looked in the movie….
He’s my cousin sir
Welp… I said it to the German breathing station and I’ll say it here…
One step closer to Spaceballs.
Fresh from Druidia
Funny, she doesn’t look Druish. 😂
Oh fuck, time to dust off the ol’ dvd.
That stuff worked great for me when having breathing problems at altitude

If I was manufacturing and selling this product, I would get as close to Perri-Air as possible.
It seems so dumb not to, indulge these folks who know what it is, sell your gag gift, get return sales.
They sell these all over Colorado for people who come from sea level. Altitude sickness sneaks up on a ton of people all the time
Yup! Wife had to use these in Silverton Colorado. Altitude sickness is brutal….
Don’t even call me on this wall! This is an unlisted wall!
Why didn’t somebody tell me my ass was so big!
THEY WENT OVER MY HELMET!
Thanks, but I’m waiting for sunlight in a can.
Space-balls really was in the future!!
No sir! No! I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again!
Are we living spaceballs?
Getting some Spacballs vibes here
Merchandising merchandising!

FYI, this is a quick headache cure. Even migraines, so I’m told.
space balls really was ahead of it’s time…
>Oxygen is weightless
No it isn’t.

This reminds me of the canned air in the Lorax movie

Is it canned on Druidia?
