    Here is a link for the details, Dave from Nitrous Outlet helping out as well. Most of the money raised is to purchase a prosthectic leg.

    As of December 14,2009
    Blake and his friend Dave
    aka. Nitro Dave have made
    an agreement to try and
    make the purchase of New
    10 and 15 pound nitrous
    bottles more affordable.
    We hope this idea will
    prevent a person from
    obtaining a used bottle that
    he or she does not know
    the history of just because
    it's cheaper. Trust me, I
    know what you are thinking,
    but hear me out. I have
    bought used nitrous bottles
    for years, but I am telling
    you from experience, the
    bottle that exploded and
    took my left leg from me
    was out of a car I
    purchased and knew
    nothing about. It sat in my
    shop for almost a year
    before the accident
    happened. The bottle
    looked brand new, decal
    was perfect, and it had an
    electric bottle heater on it
    when it was in the car. The
    bottle showed no signs of
    ever being heated up with a
    torch and I have friends that
    have used torches for
    years, but not I. I found that
    thought a little crazy myself,
    but to each their own. So
    even if my accident turns
    out to be a freak thing, I
    hope you or your friends
    never have to be put in a
    life changing position like I
    have, just to save a buck.
    So please if you chose on
    buying used bottles, at
    least take them to be
    checked out as soon as
    you get them, don't let
    something you sat aside in
    your shop get you later.

    the issue is needing to be where the patient is. once molds are taken and rectified, then i can do my work. issue is getting someone to do the molds where he is....
