Voice with hexafluoride sounds like something out of movies.

so if he would inhale helium AND hexafluoride his voice would sound normal ? ![]()

his lips seem slightly blueish purple color. Must have had several bloopers beforehand, inhaling that stuff over and over haha

If helium makes your voice sound higher, shouldn't it be called shelium?

I dont know if it is the same gas, but i heard that you need to make a hand stand to get the gas out of your lungs because it is so heavy. if you dont you die.

You can do the same deep voice by inhaling some nox if you happen to be in the fast cars scene ![]()

I only would'nt inhale NOx (being quite toxic, if I'm right) but sulphur hexafluoride is very inert, just like helium (which means it doesn't easily react with anything at all)

@#19 Yea nitrous made for racing purposes has about 100 ppm of sulfur dioxide added to it to make it unusable for 'recreational' purposes. Inhaling it will cause you to gag and then your trachea will slam shut preventing any further nonsense. ( don't ask me how I know )
I have heard that in the United Kingdom medical nos is legal to have and inhale by anyone,not just doctors and dentists. How did they get so lucky ??
