These things contain a "bittering agent" that is included to discourage people from getting high inhaling the difluoroethane within them.
If you get this substance on your keyboard, mouse, tools, or desk and it somehow makes its way to your mouth you will be met with a terrible bitter taste in your mouth that lasts hours and hours, as well as a sore throat. It SUCKS.
Even the gas dusters labeled for electronics have this in them. I have not seen true "compressed air" dusters that are only just actual air. They seem to all contain difluoroethane.
Best to buy a squeezable air duster or go with a home air compressor. You can buy refillable air bottles too that you can fill at a compressor.
This post contains no evidence or arguments portraying that fifluoreoethane is bad for electronics, only that it limits or negates the use of compressed air canisters for illicit use.

This is why I use freon as air duster
Gavin Walker
Quit huffing duster

This has nothing to do with the electronics, this has to do with you ending up with probably the worst taste you've ever had in your mouth for 24+ hours if you use this to clean electronics you are in physical contact with on a regular basis.

R152a is harmless to electronics, while (((bittering))) agent is not. I advice getting R134A, R12a, or R600a or R290 refrigerants, appropriate hoses. Keep in mind that R12a, R600a and R290 are fucking flammable.
Kayden Perez
stop sucking on your hands
Logan Anderson
I've had this shit in my mouth before in copious amounts due to using it as a freezing agent to freeze my friends knuckles and ballsack. It's around 20 minutes of bad taste tops of you have nothing to drink or eat.
Unless you're literally inhaling this shit, you're not going to have this bad taste for a full day. Stop being a dramatic idiot
Ayden Bailey
You could just get one of these and never need to buy a can of compressed air again.
I didn't. It got on my hands which I then used to eat a banana. My preferred method of eating a banana is breaking off pieces with my fingers before putting it in my mouth.
I've been using canned air from various forms for YEARS and have never had an issue past a few minutes. I'm guessing these people are doing something wrong or it's related to a select few products using a different agent. Yeah the taste or HORRIBLE. But to claim that it sticks to the keyboard and affects your life for weeks at a time? Fuck outta here you bought some garbage ass 1$ can of balogna.
Essentially we were all drinking and having a good time when I decided to flip a can of air upside down and zots my boy Tyler with some cold ass liquid air. Tim had never seen this before and was in shock. Tim was also a retard essentially. Tim wanted to know what it felt like. So I'm like okay but just a lil zots because this shit is cold af and can cause damage.
He's like okay bet.
So I'm like okay bet.
And then we unloaded half a can onto his knuckles and he was like fuck you this ain't shit. So then we unloaded half a can onto his ballsack. He still said fuck you this ain't shit.
Next day we hung out his knuckles were DEEP purple and the skin was cracked DEEP AS FUCK MY DUDE. He still claims to this day he has random pain in that area probably from nerve damage. His balls weren't as badly affected by it was like peeling skin and a little purple.
Good times. Good times. He's in jail now I think.

>Yeah the taste or HORRIBLE. But to claim that it sticks to the keyboard and affects your life for weeks at a time? I have been using them for years until this most recent accident. Maybe sometimes too much is added to a can?
Jayden Parker
Dudes, get isobutane/butane air duster. They don't have bitterent in them. Just don't smoke nearby
10/10 joke. Spray fridge with that shit I guess... No, literally, poke a hole in can and throw it in fridge
Landon Allen
Got the same thing. Only a few complaints, which are that it's louder than a full-sized vacuum cleaner, the brush nozzles are all useless for electronics because they will ESD all of your shit, and the narrowest nozzle for it isn't narrow enough for tighter spaces.
Juan Ward
I just vacuum the shit out of everything, OP, even the inside of my computers. I know they always say there's a risk of static discharges that can kill components but I've personally never had a problem.
Brandon Collins
No, that would be going too far and you'd 100% get fired if you were caught doing this.
James Brooks
Vacuum provides only -1 atmosphere, while air duster provides 9 bars. Vacuum cleaner doesn't clean that good.
Jace Jones
It's enough that I'm the only guy in the office who loves very hot spices.
Angel Powell
What's it like to be that bitch?
John Lee
protip: kill ur tastebuds by smoking meth so you can huff compressed air
Colton Ramirez
I guess you don't need to dust your electronics as often when they're dead from being spattered with rusty water.
Kayden Jackson
If you have sensitive shit which afraid of water, get nitrogen from welding supplies. Or even better - refrigerant, since it would have same characteristics as air duster, but without shit tasting shit.
Lucas Young
imo chloroform is much better sickly sweet, doesn't smell half as bad as ether and doesn't sting like gasoline, camp fuel or acetone still, nitrous cartridges are pretty cheap why are all the kids huffing solvents is beyond me
Dylan Edwards
>eating bananas Do you also suck on them and try to deepthroat them like a sissy slut? Don't lie.
Oliver Hughes
just use a swiffer. It collects dust instead of blowing/pushing it around.
Bentley Lopez
I just told you how I eat them.
Jayden Lewis
Is there a way to add straw to those niggers? Btw, why US is so retard-friendly? Why not let retards die from sniffing air dusters?
I need something portable I can take with me. Compressor is fucking large.
Brayden Flores
>It's around 20 minutes of bad taste sounds pretty bad to me bro.
Luke Hall
>dont sniff shit Thanks, Dad.
Aaron Brown
>spraying butane everywhere
This seems like a bad idea
Hudson Rogers
Better than being 72 times that in length if it were 24 hourS
Parker Robinson
> Guis, check out dis way to make crystals!
Ethan Brooks
>Btw, why US is so retard-friendly? Why not let retards die from sniffing air dusters? Lawsuits and politicians.
Aiden Cruz
You don't want to breathe R12
Julian Howard
Actually, this would explain why everything in my office tastes like shit. Accidentally rub your mouth with your hand after a full shift, then lick your lips? You're in for a real bad time.
Joseph Barnes
Poor Tim, that sounds terrible.
Owen Clark
can you not read cretin
Aaron Moore
Shit doesn't smell all that bad. At least, not your own anyway.
Logan Fisher
>mfw yanks don't give their mates frostys for banter
Manlet of the compressor world.
Wyatt Allen
On top of that, it's highly flammable, and burning it makes the bittering agent go airborne and rapidly spread.
