As you may have gathered there is alot of modifications to gear needed and there are also alot of medical problems that may arise when using O2. MY advice is to either find someone who is very knowledgable about using O2 as a decompression gas or take some type of NITROX course. Couple of things have happened to make wary of mixed gas and O2: 1. A friend of mine who has been pumping O2 for a while just burned up his hascal and all the stainless steel tubing attached to it, plus he put a three inch hole in the metal floor of the trailer he hauls his set up in. 2. Some other people I know where pumping HelAir and were exposed to some gas other than Helium. The gas tested positive for traces of petroleum. The gas supplier still doesn't know what the gas is or where it came from. Happly these guys were clowning around and were bewildered when there voices would not change.
