Auto-grade N20 v. Medical-grade N20

this might be a dumb set of questions, and it might have already been answered but i searched and couldn't find it.

Does the sulfur dioxide in automotive grade nitrous oxide affect the performance?

What ratio is the sulfur dioxide mixed with nitrous oxide in automotive grade nitrous?

if sulfur dioxide doesn't hurt performance, what keeps us from using straight sulfur dioxide?

It does not hurt performance at all. In fact, it's in very very small amounts. It's sole purpose is to keep people from using it in ways they shouldn't.

You could run medical grade N20 with the same effects.

Less than 1PPM sulfur dioxide is in Nytrous+ (what you run in cars)


(ppm == part per million)


Sulfur dioxide stops people from huffing it, shows up in oil analysis tests, smells like firecrackers when you use it, etc..

Medical grade does NOT hit harder/give you more power as a lot of people tend to believe.
