Posted August 25, 2016 So when me and Tallon were skyping last night trying to make a video (We couldnt get any working tech scammers phone numbers) I started to clean my PC, and like most people, I used compressed gas (NOT compressed air) and I'm telling you, Im never using it again. It doesn't work particularly well and I ened up wiping everything with a microfiber cloth but the worst part is my fingers and lips had this awful bitter taste. After some research I learned the bitterant in the gas spreads when you spray it so I got it on my lips! Luckily it went away after 3 hours so it's gone now but other people say it can last up to 3 days so in conclusion, dont use canned compressed gas, use a microfiber cloth or an air compressor. TL:DR - Dont use compressed gas to clean unless you want a bitter taste He who asks is stupid for 5 minutes. He who does not ask, remains stupid. -Chinese proverb.

Posted August 25, 2016 been using compressed gas for decades, never had problems. Last 2 cans I had lasted less than 6 months. Also, how uses ONLY compressed gas when cleaning a PC? I personally never use it inside, I always go outside, use a few blast of "air" to get most of the dust out, then go back inside to finish with anti-static cloth.

I used it on the inside of my case, the fans, and the mobo heatsinks. I dont think it would if you ground it because there would be no electrical difference.
