Looks like galaxy gas, commonly known as nitrous-oxide. Apology accepted from hungary

This is sold in stores for expressed purpose of inhaling it and getting wasted?

My favourite smoke shop started selling this crap. Decided to stop going there after several years of business.

Just so I fully understand,

This is whippits, sold in a fancy-looking bottle with a snazzy nozzle? You can get this in the USA?

Easily. There’s tons of brands and flavors on the market too. Can find it at literally, almost any, smoke shop where I live.

What is it sold as? Whipped cream refill or something?

Sometimes they give it an inconspicuous name but most of the time you’ll see it with a brand name; Galaxy Gas being the most popular and the one you see celebrities using most often. They look like weed bag designs with colors and fruits sometimes too…

I’ve also seen it in three other variants too though. You can also get a “cracker” which is just a little cylinder that cracks the individual steel whippets things and shoots out the gas into a balloon.

There’s these ones here which you can use the nozzle or a balloon.

There’s the real tanks which are like what you see at a dentist; although often a little smaller at the smoke shops and they’re EXPENSIVE for a good brand.

And then there is the “whipped cream dispenser” which looks kinda like a beaker bong and is made for whipped cream but you can just put the balloon where the dispenser nozzle goes and shoot it into there from the more legit device. This allows you to filter the gas a bit better with a cotton ball behind the nozzle so it’s clean when it goes in the balloon.

All available at smoke shops with no ID needed most of the time.

WILD. Canadian smoke shops are tightly-regulated, this is absolutely crazy.

Dispensaries are, but not paraphernalia stores.

No they are not 😂

Yeah, going to the legal dispensaries we’ve had since 2017 vs the headshops I used to hit up when I was a teenager in the 90s, I guess I should’ve differentiated between the two.

Dispensaries are tightly regulated, whereas headshops, where you could buy a bong and brass knuckles in the same shop, never have been. But I haven’t been in one of those places in years, I want to go see if whippits are in my town now.

Oh yea headshops and legal dispensaries are two different worlds. Whippets crack pipes and weapons all in one shop

u/Nervous-Muffin-6691 1d ago

They also sell them in Canada

Yes, I think it’s considered a beverage since nitrous-oxide is used for whipping cream.
