Poppers in Pattaya

[christianpfc]

I don't know what your background in chemistry is Moses and I'm not saying you are right or wrong, but would accept any verdict on the composition/formula from ChristianPFC - after all, it's his field of expertise.

What I can insist on is that there is (for me) a marked difference in effect (and side-effects) between the butyl nitrite commonly and widely sold as poppers and pharmaceutical grade Amyl Nitrite (which you can't easily buy). I have obviously tried both so I know the difference in effect (no headache, coughing etc., and a superior "rush" with the Amyl)

What I will concede is that (as you say) it may or may not be whether it's the Butyl or the Amyl which makes the difference - it may be the grade, of the product - with the cheap Butyl Nitrite products being manufactured to a lesser standard and under far less stringent conditions

Moses is right. The active part is the nitrite, and the amyl, butyl, isobutyl, isoamyl, isopropyl or cyclohexyl are of lesser importance and mainly influence boiling point / volatility.

I have no personal experience with poppers, but I know the smell of the pure chemical. The few times I witnessed others using poppers, there was smell of decomposition products.

As far as I can judge, the problem is stretching the active ingredient (with any low smell, high boiling oil) and decomposition. Nitrites are unstable and decompose slowly at ambient temperature.

...The few times I witnessed others using poppers, there was smell of decomposition...

I'd suggest that particular smell may have been emanating from the farang users rather than from the product.

WTF is "fake poppers" - gasoline? water?

What's generally available is all "fake" - low grade Butyl Nitrite that can have all sorts of nasty side effects including upper respiratory tract infections and damage to hearing - the only person I've ever known to sell the real stuff (i.e. pharmaceutical grade Amyl Nitrite) was a certain morbidly obese American - and never (to my knowledge) in Thailand

My preference is to sniff someone else’s day- or two-day-old unwashed socks - just like poppers IMHO. Interestingly I’ve noticed one ot two guys here on Grindr (“here” is Oktoberfest) who have a smelly socks fetish

Formaldehyde is a more popular substance used to preserve meat, err... cadaver.

That explains a lot about some of our 82yo members

Humpty Dumpy, I bet you wish you could return to be 82yo and be fit again.

Yes. I believe some of our members here bathe in it.

You're not supposed to eat your aunts.
This is the prerogative of the tribesmen in the hinterland of Papua New Guinea.
