If you're using enough nitrogen to suffocate yourself, you're using
*waay* too much nitrogen. It doesn't take that much.

Fourth, it's a good idea to use an inert gas
supply. For reasons of
availability and price, the best choice might be nitrogen. Bottled
nitrogen won't be completely clean, so an air filter is probably a good
idea. Don't use a paper one, obviously. I use a glass allergen filter.
And the gas should go through a regulator. If it comes out too
quickly, it could get supercooled, and that would not be fun. And don't
forget to create a gas outlet with a one-way valve, to prevent outside
air from getting in. If you don't put in an outlet, the gas will find
its own outlet, and that won't be good.
Just a small thing about the inert gas supply - if you do this make
sure it is in a well ventilated space - otherwise you will feel sleepy
and possibly never wake up. This would be a bad thing.
