Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Jill, I have a welding tank with a rotary valve controlled by a knob. A 1/4 turn of the knob opens up the valve allowing oxygen to flow into the regulator. After opening the valve, I then set the regulator for the desired flow rate. After I am finished, I close the valve and allow the residual pressure to dissipate as the pressure gauge goes to zero after which I set the regulator back to zero. I don't know what a toggle is. Sounds like your vagina is pressure sealing around the catheter. As pressure builds up the seal is broken and you hear a " burp " as the built up pressure is relived. Sounds normal to me.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Vaginal Insuflation w/ my Tank I just did vaginal insufflation at 1/32nd with my tank. I probably should have tried this during the day when I could call the tank manufacturers. It's an " E " tank. Anyway, I turned the toggle ===== Hi Jill, it's good to see you checking out your new oxygen tank! By " toggle, " do you mean the valve handle on the oxygen tank? A palm-sized wheel perpendicular to the axis of the tank, located atop the tank when the tank is oriented vertically with the flat end down, and that when turned counterclockwise allows oxygen to escape from the tank? And when turned clockwise to its stop shuts off oxygen escape from the tank? If so, " toggle " isn't the right word for that handle or faucet. For your information. the dictionary defines " toggle, " when used as a noun (as opposed to when it is used as a verb), as -- -- a fastener consisting of a peg or pin or crosspiece that is inserted into an eye at the end of a rope or a chain or a cable in order to fasten it to something (as another rope or chain or cable) -- any instruction that works first one way and then the other; it turns something on the first time it is used and then turns it off the next time -- a hinged switch that can assume either of two positions If my assumptions are correct about what you mean by " toggle " and about what you did with it, the proper terminology is " open the valve of the oxygen tank. " (If my assumptions are not correct, please explain more about this " toggle. " ) ===== and it went up to " fill " . ===== By " it went up to fill, " I'm assuming you mean the gauge on the oxygen regulator indicated full pressure, that the tank was " full. " ===== Then I turned the regulator (pediatric) to 1/2 to make sure it was flowing 02 which it was. Then I turned it down to 1/32nd and did insufflation for a few minutes. Question: 1) I turned the pediatric regulator down to zero. Now henceforth can I just turn the regulator from 0 to 1/32nd or 1/2...I don't have to turn the toggle anymroe? I wasn't sure if the toggle turned it on and off. ===== If by " toggle " you mean the oxygen tank valve handle, it does indeed say yes or no to oxygen flow from the tank. While the regulator controls the RATE of that flow. If the oxygen tank valve were closed, oxygen would not flow from the tank no matter what setting was used on the regulator. If we wanted to be exact, the tank valve also does control the rate of oxygen flow from the tank, but with much less precision and control than the regulator does, and in all but its nearly closed position, when connected to the regulator, is overridden by the regulator's flow control. In other words, once the tank valve is more than " cracked " (just slightly opened), no more oxygen can flow from the tank than the regulator setting will allow. And whether the regulator, set in the " zero " flow position, will completely STOP oxygen flow from the tank (if the tank valve is left open), is an open question. I doubt that my regulator will do this, and here's why -- Say I leave my regulator set on the " zero " flow position and open my oxygen tank valve. The regulator pressure gauge instantly registers whatever pressure is in the tank. Then, leaving the regulator setting at zero, if I close the oxygen tank valve again, the regulator pressure gauge reading immediately starts to sink toward zero, and doesn't take very long to get there. Where did the pressure go? Seems to me it leaked with escaping oxygen through the regulator. Could there be any other explanation? ===== Maybe I will google this. Sounds like a stupid question but I don't want to use up all my 02 overnight by mistake leaving something open I shouldn't ===== Good thinking Jill. It's good insurance to close the oxygen tank valve each time you finish using the ozone generator. You might be able to " get away with " depending on the regulator being set in the " zero " position to keep oxygen from escaping from the tank while the generator is not in use, and an experiment noting before-and-after oxygen tank gauge pressures when doing this would answer the question, but it's so easy as a matter of policy to both close the tank valve and turn the regulator flow valve to the " zero " position. The oxygen tank valve would have to be faulty then (or not properly closed) in order for oxygen to escape the tank when the generator was not in use. Here's another tip. It's good procedure to shut those valves BEFORE turning off the ozone generator. That way, you won't forget to turn them off -- the buzzing ozone generator won't let you. Otherwise, it's all too easy to realize 14 hours later that you forgot to turn off the oxygen flow, and your tank may be empty, or at least way less full than it was. I made this mistake TWICE before kicking myself soundly and making it an ironclad rule to close the tank valve before shutting off the generator. ===== 2) It seemed like I was getting ocassional whoosh/pops of air or ozone coming back out of my vagina while insufflating. Sounds sort of weird but does tha tmake sense. ===== Not speaking from experience here, but it does make sense. Maybe changing your position to constrict your vagina would help retain more ozone?

With my tank/regulator, if I leave the tank valve open, and the regulator turned to '0', and come back a few days later, the tank will be empty. I asked the guy that I bought the system off of, and he said that this is common. So close your tank valve at the end of every ozonation session.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanx for your answers. Here's what I found out: 1) Apparently turning the toggle knob clockwise closes it, and counterclockwise opens it. Do others find the same with their knobs? 2) Apparently there is still oxygen left in the regulator, so if I have the toggle knob closed and I open the regulator, it will go quickly down to zero. I don't want to do that as I do waste a bit of oxygen, but at least I know now what that means, as before I might've thought all my 02 was gone. Going to do some more vaginal insufflation shortly. May even try bladder insufflation if I can get up the courage, Saul recommended it but knowing me I probably won't do it unless desperate. When the ozone is going in it feels warm and somehow I want to do a lot of it, as if my body knows its good for me. But I know to be careful as there is die-off, I feel grogggy and achy afterwards. I had that problem with the saunas too. They'd feel so good while I was in them that I'd overdo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Dear Jill, 1) On that type, flipping the toggle shuts off the flow. 2) Yes, that is normail. Best of Health!
