They check ID for compressed air? Where is this?
Now something like 99.99% alcohol electronics cleaner I would understand because people use it to cut meth or some other wild shit.

Causes instant death but also addiction? They resurrect me and I immediately go for another can of air duster.
I guess being dead was just better.
High so addictive not even death results in ingervention
*not always all at once
Totally guessing but im sure its similar to people saying "Try coke once and you could die!". Technically true, if your coke is laced with Fent. Maybe get too high of a concentration in your air duster and you simply die?
Guessing some people suffocate, they get too high, keep huffing and forget to breathe.
Is it maybe an US-exclusive thing? Due to less stricter regulations maybe? I'm from Europe and no compressed air was 18+ or had warning signs like "causes instant death"
Probably because you can buy beer at 16, so no one is trying to get high on office supplies.
Not Europe but here in Norway I do see people huffing nitrous oxide. We do have a legal drinking age of 18 tho
Nitrous is not comparable to air dusters
And a beer at the supermarket costs the equivalent of $18.
I'm in the US and haven't bought compressed air recently, but I definitely didn't need to present ID the last time I did.
This article says 38 states have age restrictions, but after a brief search, I couldn't find any evidence for this in my state (Utah). It's illegal to use it to get high and to sell it to someone with the understanding that they'll use it to get high. But now I'm curious, I'll have to ask the next time I'm at a store that sells it.
A DuPont study tried HFC-152a and HFC-134a on rats, dogs, and humans for time periods of up to three months with a followup examination 2 years with no adverse effects. LINK
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the USA'S proposed ban DFE last month despite it functioning as a zero-potential for ozone-depletions alternative to CFCs.
That red line you drew could just be explained by market availability of the new Aerosol that convienently excludes the CFC equivalents which existed before and were banned.
Anon could've bought an electronic air duster and had a clean PC for years! But good on you, anon. Cleaning out your PC is important.
Yep, bit more expensive up front but pays for itself and performance doesn't massively downgrade as the can cools down, and is stronger anyway
Stronger? Which one? I bought one for 30 bucks and it was extremely loud and had less blowing power than the can. As I buy 1 can every 5 years or so, I returned the electric one.
I have a micro inflatable mattress fan that I use to clean my keyboard. It has attachments and one of them is just a tiny small pin hole, I think it's meant for inflatable water donuts or something. Works wonders.
I use this one and it is definitely much stronger (and louder) than any can of air I've ever used. Stronger as in more volume AND velocity.
On a hot day it literally cools my entire body down.
Anon is on the path to finding out why it's like that and trying it out for themselves.
Breaking into buildings by triggering their REX-sensors?
Maybe I shouldn't ask but how do you trigger an exit button from the outside with a can of compressed air ?
Many just detect temperature changes. And upside down can will spray cold air. If there's any space between the doors or between the door and the frame, you can spray it in and it'll detect the temperature motion. Fancier models do exist that are more specific, so YMMV.
