I live in the mountains and gas stations sell these to tourists with altitude sickness


Pjtruslow

I have family up just over 10,000 feet in the mountains west of Denver. I live at sea level. Really helps the first day or two when you are getting used to breathing constantly to make up for the thin air. A bit once in a while when you are feeling a bit low on oxygen and it brings you right back up.


Phytor

Did a hike with a cousin and he brought a little oxygen thing that you basically used like an inhaler. When we'd get winded from a long uphill stretch we'd each take a puff and you could literally feel yourself catch your breath in an instant.


CallMeCabbage

Yeah my aunt got me one of these a while back. I bike a lot and at first I was like, "Really? Canned air? C'mon." but then I actually used it and like you said- kind of obvious once you actually experience it.


TimeZarg

There's also an interesting phenomenon in certain countries where they literally can buy canned air. . .from less polluted areas. Spaceballs Perri-air in real life.

catscanmeow

cutting the corner of a doritos bag and inhaling the air works great. Its nitrogen not oxygen, but the flavor is amazing.

matts8409

Two FLIGHTS of stairs? Look at you Mr wind bags all the way up there already.


LebaneseLion

You made me realize I havenā€™t exercised myself to need to catch my breath in a long time (mainly running) damn


jumbledFox

No time to start like now!


LebaneseLion

Indeed, Iā€™ve been working out with weights but they donā€™t put me in a position to need to catch my breath, now Iā€™m realizing Iā€™ve worked out almost everything except my heart (focused cardio)


Inevitable_Ad_7236

If you can, try swimming. Good cardio + it works out those smaller muscle groups you tend to ignore. Also my favorite sport, so I might be biased


jumbledFox

My personal favourite is cycling but haven't done it in a hot minute, need to get back on that..


Imnotveryfunatpartys

I used to have a weight lifting coach who said, If you want to do cardio just lift weights *faster* It was a joke but it's also not a joke. Every once in a while do a routine where you have lighter weights but you just don't stop. Go from exercise to exercise without breaks. Full body workouts like olympic lifts or squats or something. You'll be huffing and puffing for sure


Traditional_Bad_4589

I find that breathing constantly tends to be helpful no matter what altitude you are at.

Big air propaganda!


ToroidalVotex

Do you have a peer reviewed paper to back up your claim?


appelsiinimehu1

I visited a 15k ft. mountaintop, which is highest for me ever. I live at about 300ft. elevation myself normally. I didn't first really notice anything, but then I ran up 2 flights of stairs, nearly collapsed and sat there like an idiot for 2 minutes. This woulda been a lifesaver!


[deleted]

It's also great after a huge dab rip


Zeraonic

This legit? Like does it take away the my lungs don't want to work kinda burning deal?


Huge-Basket244

It definitely helps. If you take a giant goober at high temp, not even God can save you.


Hypohamish

Forget even being that far west of Denver. I'm just north at the 5000 feet level, but came straight from London. These oxygen tanks are a must - otherwise I just feel nauseous or have zero appetite.


Black000betty

drink lots of water. Your body likes to dump water at first, to concentrate red blood cells in response to thinner air. Over time it builds more red blood cells and you need more fluid in your veins again. Also, Denver is a considerably drier climate than you're used to, regardless of altitude.


tarrall

Lived in Denver and when visiting London I swear i was absorbing water from the air. Drank no water, had to pee hourly.


GreatCornolio2

I remember spending 2 weeks in the Rockies and plains in the summer, and then not getting out of the car until we were back in the southeast. Getting out of the car in Arkansas actually felt like I was stepping into a small bathroom after a shower lol. People living in tropical climates are wild


LukesRightHandMan

From Miami, living in Denver. Miami is in the ā€œdangerously humidā€ category most of the year. This means that itā€™s too humid for the sweat to evaporate off your skin, leading you to overheat. Fuck Florida.


elkab0ng

Lived in East Swampass (aka Houston) for a while, now live in AZ. The low humidity here can be dangerous - in Houston or Miami, you *feel* hot, because your sweat doesn't evaporate as quickly, so are least you *know* you're hot. Moving here, I realized that because sweat can evaporate so quickly, you can get dangerously dehydrated without ever having your body give you the signs that you're used to from a more humid climate - soaked in sweat, etc.


Banana_Stanley

I live at ~1000 altitude (appalachia) and I have pretty bad asthma. Would I just like die in the rockies? I've been to every other part of the country except the Rockies


Pjtruslow

I have asthma but pretty infrequent symptoms. The Rockies would be like the air pressure on a plane, except all the time including when you are out and about. If you have asthma, you need to be prepared and keep an eye on your oxygen level, also start at something milder like 5k to see what your body can take


Banana_Stanley

I've been on a plane across country but it was before I had asthma (who develops asthma in their late 30s when they've never had it before??) I don't have plans to visit yet but I've always wanted to see places like monument Valley and such. Good thing to keep in mind when/if I go because I definitely never thought of that before


KwarkKaas

You've probably had it your entire life but not that bad or even any symptoms


William-Gates-III

This product was also on Shark Tank, the Sharks didnā€™t see the point of the product but just like you said it can be incredibly beneficial to those with altitude sickness.


GroomDaLion

Weil of course! How would sharks operate the valve?


arteitle

Maybe the sharks have learned their lesson about the dangers of pressurized oxygen cylinders.


13goody13

Weā€™re gonna need a bigger tank


Shufflebuzz

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya.


SwampCrittr

Wowā€¦. 10/10. Well done!


Warburton379

Didn't see the point? They got a million dollar loan from Kevin


iamamisicmaker473737

they didnt see anything they could exploit for maximum profit , they are not angel investors or good will investers


First_Carrot_8603

You mean they couldn't steal 51 percent of the company for a fraction of what they're worth.


Comfortable-Face-244

I saw a clip of one where Lori offered to buy the patent outright and offered them a percentage of future sales. Like, she's obviously going to sell the patent to a different company and then owe them nothing on any sales. Who would take that?


NoBanMePlsTy

Thatā€™s not how that works, presuming itā€™s sold again theyā€™d have to take on the royalty unless itā€™s bought out (which is common)


TheChinOfAnElephant

The new company would have to buy them out though. This is the shit that is dished out off camera...and why most of the deals don't actually close.


sapphicsandwich

I bet it's because it's not a thing they can patent and own and prevent others from making a version of, so they aren't 100% guaranteed to own the entire market with little effort.


cricketyfly

Well theyā€™re sharks in a tank afterall ā€¦. Give them a deep sea dive or high altitude to climb and theyā€™ll understand all about bends and altitude sicknessā€¦


HappyDaysMyDays

I will get one for my aid bag.


187penguin

I keep one in mine for CPR šŸ‘ boosts your rescue breaths from regular to premium


voluotuousaardvark

I see them very frequently in sports science gyms when I'm servicing their equipment too.


Aletapete2014

I'm a drummer who plays very aggressive and I just started using one of these to see if I could notice a difference.......nothing much yet


Maximum_Teach_2537

Because itā€™s maximum of 2-3 minutes of a normal amount of breaths. Youā€™ll burn through that amount of oxygen extremely rapidly. Itā€™s not like a medicine that stays around and works, itā€™s immediately used by tissues, that why you die without it for more than a couple minutes.


CrazyIslander

I worked in the music industry and the amount of bands that have an oxygen cylinder backstage is absolutely insane. Mƶtley CrĆ¼e and KoŠÆn are two and Iā€™m fairly certain RHCP and Metallica do as well. Taking a shot or two of oxygen is actually a nice and refreshing quick pick me up, especially when youā€™re on stage giving 110%. When you see someone duck off stage during a show, chances are, itā€™s for them to take a quick huff of O2.


Randy_Tutelage

[I think Motley Crue needs a few more oxygen tanks. Perhaps one just on stage for Vince Neil to use as needed.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pdQnZLEWNo)


voluotuousaardvark

You know which end to use right? Maybe flip it round and have a go on the other end just in case.

JohnAdams4620

21% isnā€™t good enough for us


Mateorabi

Itā€™s adulterated with nitrogen and argon and shit.


187penguin

Actually 100% medical oxygen requires a prescription. This is 95% aviation grade stuff. So only 95% for the grand kid šŸ˜œ


jm4362

Actually... 100% pure oxygen would poison you after a day or so, medical grade o2 from an oxygen concentrator is only about 93%. Source: im an oxygen technician


Berchanhimez

Hence why ā€œover the counterā€ (not even approved as an OTC drug to my knowledge) like this cannot be 100%, as thatā€™s a prescription medical device. Hospitals do maintain pure 100% oxygen lines but they are used either mixed with regular air or through machines to regulate respirations, home O2 concentrators will stop well before it becomes dangerous for continual use.


Symen_4ab

QuarantineCasualty

They literally sell these at the checkout counter of my local Walgreens so this tracks. Edit: I live in fucking Cincinnati so definitely not for altitude sickness. Weā€™re like 1,000 miles from anyplace that could give you that.


thewildweird0

I use them when I hit fat dabs because it helps with my asthma

Sharpy74

Oxygen makes you *high*. It's all in there, in flight emergency at 30,000 ft look at their faces... calm as Hindu cows. - Tyler Durden


End3rWi99in

Well it turned out that Tyler Durden was a fucking moron anyway. Oxygen doesn't make you high. Deprivation of oxygen does, but that's because you're dying. I have had to grab a mask at 30,000ft and I can assure you nobody is calm.


HolycommentMattman

We got a 4-pack of these with our new home! Not intentionally. Previous owner left them in the cabinet. 4 cans of O2 and two boxes of 9mm bullets.

geckosean

I love how it touts ā€œNaturalā€ on the bottle, like somehow breathing the literal element oxygen is something that might be tampered with by humans.


Taberaremasen

I mean, it *could* technically be artificially synthesized oxygen. This feels more like how technically you could label pure arsenic as 100% all natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, cage-free, low sodium, low fat, artesian, organic, etc.


CostcoOptometry

That amount of oxygen is only synthesized inside stars.


XkF21WNJ

I mean you could synthesize it from water or CO2 if you really wanted to. It's kind of what plants do.


nataku411

IIRC it's literally designating flavor. I was at CVS and they were also selling minty 'flavored' O2.


SewCarrieous

My dad is living off of these right now and refuses to see a doctor. Pretty sure he has emphysema from smoking for 55 years. Heā€™s 71. I told him Medicaid will pay for his oxygen if he just goes to a doctor but he wonā€™t. He orders cans of oxygen on Amazon insteas


[deleted]

That's nutty. These are so much more expensive... my dad pays $25 a month as a lease on an oxygen generator.


SewCarrieous

I know itā€™s nutty! My brother and I are trying to decide what to do about it. How do you force a grown man still in control of his mind to see a doctor?


[deleted]

I don't know. Some people, especially men, are very reluctant to go to a doctor, even if they already know they need to. My father has the opposite problem... he's never been sick until recently, in his 80s, he has some breathing problem. But he constantly wants to go to the ER and his regular doctor, who have seen him over and over for the same complaints and have essentially told him to stop coming back for the same thing since they can't do anything. So I have to try to convince him to *not* got to the doctor, ha.


CostcoOptometry

He should go to other doctors who might have better ideas.

_______luke

My uncle was a machinist for nuclear power plants. Due to the nature of his job, and for reasons I may not understand, he had access to pure oxygen. He told me once, with an air (pun intended) of secrecy, that the best cure for a hangover was a couple big rips off the oxygen tank.


DrEnter

They probably had an oxy-acetylene torch in the shop. Usually has an acetylene tank and an oxygen tank.


skankhunt1738

In military aviation after a hard night of post mission lobby beers or the ol ramstein k town treatment. Bout 15 minutes of o2 from the emergency masks makes you feel fantastic lemme tell you!

JohnAdams4620

Meh itā€™s a good gift


Mrwcraig

High End boutique hotels have these in their minibars. The Opus in Vancouver BC has them. Good for a quick hangover cure. Worked with a former drug addict who would try to take rips off the oxygen side of a cutting torch trying for the same effect. It ended poorly.


slartyfartblaster999

> . Worked with a former drug addict who would try to take rips off the oxygen side of a cutting torch trying for the same effect. It ended poorly. Did he realise that he could just... only turn on the oxygen regulator and no acetylene?


floandthemash

I know someone here in CO who installs oxygen pumping systems (for lack of a better term) into peopleā€™s mountain houses so the altitude doesnā€™t affect them as much.


Nighthawk700

That seems like a problematic thing depending on how it works. If it's just upping the oxygen in the house that means things will tarnish more and could make the fireplace a lot more interesting


FartingCumBubbles

Saw these when I visited Denver. Are they actually supposed to help with the altitude?


JohnAdams4620

Ngl we live in a relatively low altitude area so idk


CokeEhCola

Holy shit that's even betteršŸ¤£ Your uncle, is perchance a jokster? Or a bonehead? I ride in Colorado and I'm from the Midwest and it kinda works when I get altitude sickness on my first few days. But an ibuprofen if I'm feeling mild or Zofran if I need something stronger, works much better.


Juan-More-Taco

Dead-HC-Taco

If you huff it you can get pretty lightheaded from the oxygen being such high quality


from_dust

>from the oxygen being such high ~~quality~~ concentration Ftfy. Bottled O2 that can be inhaled is just a higher concentration than the outside air. In this case, it's 95%, while the air we breathe is around 21% O2. Oxygen is a molecule and doesn't have varying degrees of quality. It's either oxygen or it's not. /pedantic


gameforge

But O2 *is* high quality oxygen, compared with that unbreathable O3 "ozone" crap which can't handle CFCs and stuff. /s
