Actually, it's the $300.00 Question.   You find a place that supplies
compressed gasses, and give them a "letter of intent" (on company 
letterhead -- god bless desktop publishing) stating that you will be
using it in your bakery and catering concerns, or that you will be 
using it for your atomic absorption spectroscopy equipment in your 
analytical lab.  You then pay the deposit on the cylinder, the cost
of the gas and put an A1 cylinder in your truck and drive away.  This
will wind up being about one tenth of one percent of the cost of buying
the same quantity in Whipits.  I strongly recommend that you cludge 
together a smaller tank with a demand regulator, rather than use balloons.
There is no substitute.  In the first place, it enables you to continue
inhaling once you've passed the point where you are capable of handling 
the balloon.  You will find a whole new level of effects.  Second, it's a 
safety feature so that you can't asphyxiate yourself as you could with a 
constant-flow valve.  Third, they are portable and will make you immensely 
popular at parties.  When filling the smaller tank, invert the cylinder so 
you get liquid N20 instead of gas.  You'll get much more in the small tank, 
even though the pressure is the same for both -- 800 PSI.  (Note: do NOT 
leave this small tank full of liquid N20 in a car on a hot sunny day.  
Unless, of course you want to pick up pieces of your car from all over the 
neighborhood.)

Last piece of advice -- Don't do extreme amounts of nitrous without
having a friendly woman around.   (Unless of course you ARE a friendly
woman... in which case... Hi there!)

By the way, without getting too specific, there has been a fair bit of
less-than-accurate info being bandied about 'round these parts regarding
nitrous.

If you need more specifics, email me.

LOUD DISCLAIMER!!!  --

I have never bought, sold, distributed or consumed N20 in any quantity, 
container, way shape or form.  I have _certainly_ never misrepresented 
myself  verbally, in writing, through sign language, with semaphore 
flags, psychic projection or in any other way.  I am not suggesting, 
recommending or hinting that anyone else should do or not do anything 
illegal, immoral or fattening for any reason or lack thereof.

My friend Ernie Lundquist has done all these things, and he tells me
the stuff I need to know in order to answer all these questions.

P.S.  Ernie lives at 2120 N. Highland Av, Los Angeles CA 94131 and
gets his cylinders at Acme Compressed Gas Company of Tujunga.  His 
paper-company is called Whizco inc, and he keeps the tank in the back
corner of his basement under an old navy blanket.  His girlfriend
says that her multiple orgasms while hitting off the tank during sex
almost make her face explode.

Ernie also gets invited to LOTS of parties.
