Derek Humphry answers: From our experience over ten years of the <a href="http://www.finalexit.org" rel="nofollow">helium hood method</a>, there is no need for any type of regulator. what other gas regulator can i buy for a helium cylinder. cant get a helium one, so hopefully another type might be more readily available.

I have a pressure gauge and flow meter attached to the tank, but there is no way to decrease the pressure without losing the gas. Does anyone know how to lower the pressure without losing the gas.

In all likelihood, do you think this is true? Have you ever heard of an attempt being made with this helium method failing?

It always blows off or leaks. Only the plastic bag, fastened at the neck, delivers the pure helium needed for a fast exit. If plastic bags are objectionable, then don't do it.

The bag could be smaller and just before the mask, you'd need a one way valve in the bag for an over flow dump from your tank. I just wouldn't like to be looking at the world for the last time through a plastic bag. A CPAP mask and head harness would be nicer than the bag.
