nang crackers are a popular way to get high on nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. They are a common sight at festivals and parties, especially during the summer party season.
They are small metal cylinders that contain pressurized nitrous oxide. They’re also called whippets, NOS, and nosies.
How do they work?
Nang crackers, or whippets as they are known in smoke shops, are a common party drug. They are a metal cylindrical bulb filled with nitrous oxide that can be purchased at almost any corner store, often at an affordable price.
They are a quick and easy way to get high, but they can also be very dangerous. If you use them in the wrong way, they can cause your brain to not receive enough oxygen. This can lead to serious illness, or even death.
There are many ways to use nangs, but the most common is to inhale the nitrous oxide through balloons. This is because it’s a much safer and faster method than inhaling the gas directly from a cream charger, or using a cracker to pierce the nang.
Most people will inhale the nang into a balloon, and then breathe it out several times. They claim it helps maximise the effects of the nang, but medical professionals say this is actually very risky.
To inhale the nang, you’ll need to find a device called a ‘cracker’ or a ‘nanginator’. You can purchase these from most drug stores or online.
They are small devices that will allow you to pierce the nang in order to release the nitrous oxide from it. They come in different shapes and sizes, but most commonly they are made from aluminium and have a slit or hole in the top.
N2O cylinders are also available as canisters, so you can use them instead of the crackers. These can be found at some drugstores, and are usually cheaper than the cream chargers.
You can also make a nang cracker yourself, but it isn’t as safe. You need to be sure that you’re not inhaling anything other than the nitrous oxide, and it can be very dangerous if it contains any other impurities such as industrial grease or steel particles from the nang itself.
There have been reports of young people being killed as a result of using nangs, including a teenager on the Gold Coast last week. This has prompted doctors to call for the supply of nangs to be limited, and a public health campaign to warn of the risks associated with the drug.
Why do people use balloons?
Nang crackers are devices used to fill balloons with nitrous oxide, which is also known as laughing gas. This is an inexpensive and widely available way to get high, and they have become a popular pastime at many Australian music festivals.
The device works by piercing the seal of the nang and instantly filling the balloon with the gas. It is a cheap and easy way to achieve the effects of nangs, but it is not without its risks.
For starters, the nangs themselves may contain trace amounts of metal residue from being pierced. This is why you should filter them before using them.
Another reason to use balloons is that you can recycle the same nitrous oxide multiple times. This allows you to inhale the same nitrous oxide multiple times and maximize its effects.
You can also save money by not having to buy as many nangs. Depending on your dosage, you may need up to 30 canisters of nang in one night. If you use too many, your body may not metabolise the nitrous oxide effectively, resulting in you becoming oxygen-deprived (known as hypoxia) without you even knowing it.
In order to avoid this, some people prefer to breathe the nitrous oxide in and out of a balloon. However, this is a dangerous method as it can deprive your lungs of oxygen and lead to unconsciousness.
There are also several other ways to open nangs without using a cracker. The first method involves using a small cylinder filled with nangs called a cream charger.
The nangs inside these cream chargers are food grade, which means they don’t contain any of the toxic chemicals that make medical nitrous oxide dangerous. Despite this, some nangs have been found to contain industrial grease and tiny particles of steel that are left over from manufacturing.
These metal particles can enter your mouth and lungs if you are not careful, and can cause severe damage. In addition, they are often difficult to detect and can be hard to remove.
Some people also use twine string instead of a cracker when opening nangs. This is a more effective way to burst nangs because it is easier for them to be seen. It is also a cheaper alternative to buying a cracker and can be used by all skill levels.
How do they get into your lungs?
Laughing gas, aka nitrous oxide (N2O), is used to relax and calm people during medical procedures like childbirth and minor dental surgery. But a lot of party-goers may not know that it can be dangerous to use in excess.
The most common way to get high on nangs is through balloons or in a device called a nitrous cracker, which allows you to dispense a small cartridge of N2O into a balloon. This is the most popular method because it’s safer and less time consuming than other methods.
Most people who want to try nangs should first make sure they have the proper equipment. The most important piece of kit is a nanganator. This is a small cylinder with a hole in the top that can be filled with nargos from a cream charger, a box of 10 N2O canisters, or a single 8-gram nang.
Nangs can contain a variety of different chemicals, including industrial grease and tiny particles of steel. While these are harmless in their own right, they can cause serious damage to your lungs if they’re breathed in without filtering them.
The most common mistake people make when it comes to nangs is not breathing the nitrous oxide through a nanganator or cracker correctly. This can cause a lot of problems, so we’ve put together this step by step guide to help you properly filter your nangs.
What happens when you crack them?
Nang crackers are a common – and sometimes controversial – addition to the Australian party scene. They’re commonly known as “whippets”, “hippie crack” or simply “N2O” and they’re a cheap way to get high.
They contain a small canister of food-grade nitrous oxide that’s been used in dentistry and medicine since 1844. The nang is cracked and the gas is then inhaled to produce an effect that lasts for a few minutes.
While it’s widely accepted that nitrous oxide is safe to inhale under controlled conditions, it has several negative side effects, including disorientation and disabling motor control. These can be dangerous if a user is standing up or walking around unsteadily.
The most common cause of overdose is through mishandling a nang cracker. If you’re not careful, the nang canister can be punctured and the gas released too quickly. This can result in a huge burn to your hand or the balloon that you’re trying to crack.
Another thing to be aware of is that a nang canister contains industrial grease, which has been left over from the manufacturing process. This is often found on the inside of the nang and can be felt when you run your finger over it.
These nangs are also often filled with tiny particles of steel that are released when you crack them. These can be painful or even dangerous if they hit your teeth, or can cause serious damage to your throat and jaw.
You’ll often find that nang crackers are sold with a plastic protector that can help prevent these things from happening, and many larger nanganators are sold with one as well. This is especially important if you’re prone to getting burns on your hands from cracking them too hard.
It’s also important to note that nangs can freeze very quickly, so you should always be prepared for this when using them. If you’re a beginner, it’s best to wait for them to warm up before releasing the gas. This can take a few minutes and is especially dangerous for anyone who has any sort of cold allergies.
