Dont clean your PC with compressed gas

Clanscorpia

My can says propane/butane. Both pretty much same thing you have in lighters. Very flammable. And very quick to vaporize. So anything on your fingers should be gone pretty fast. You sure you were using correct can? There are other liquid stuff used to clean electronics, like CRC (my can says carbon-hydrogen combo etc).

 

Any smell, taste and tingly feeling you might get is actually good for you on the long run. Those are human bodies warning reactions to stuff which will cause long term damage.

 

*sprays compressed air propane/butane to his hand and licks it* -Yeap, doesn't smell after spaying (the gas does), and doesn't taste anything either. I wouldn't test any longer unless you need like icepack and have run out. You might get frostbite.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

Ok confirmation: Mine uses Diflouroethane as it's main ingredient. Plus mine has a bitterant which is probably that one I posted earlier

i've had good experiences with the difluorethane cans, except for that they are stupidly expensive...

 

the biggest issue with difluorethane is that it basicly freezes whatever you're cleaning :P

you're not supposed to lick your cpu cooler, that's not how you watercool :P

 

in a serious note tho, contact a local diving shop, and ask pricing on their smallest tank, and if they can supply the other necessary equipment as well. my estimate would be that after 3-4 cans of difluorethane you got your return on investment.

 

my aunt has a diving shop, and she actually uses a compressed air tank with a regulator, a long high pressure hose, and one of those high pressure spray nozzles you can get at the hardware store for cleaning out equipment.

I used it on my keyboard so it gets on my fingers. My dad has an air compressor so I'll be using that from now on

-.- Compressed gas is just like compressed air, it comes in a can and everything its just not air because the gases inside liquify better
