Demystify: 
Almost every Vape store now sells and stocks a significant quantity of Nitrous Oxide / N2O / whipped cream chargers. 

Many of the cylinders contain about a Kilo of gas now - not the little BB gun sized cylinders from years past. 

Every emergency responder should be aware that the local vape shop could hold dozens, or even hundreds, of these cylinders.

I don't know when the law changed, but you can even go online and have these shipped to you from the AM Azon.

[EXTERNAL]

DCHAS,

 

A dramatic example of why you don’t store gas cylinders of oxidizers and fuel together with an ignition source.

A surprisingly informative article .

 

Best,

Craig
