Oxygen vape

The vape. So portable. So healthy. For old addicts and youngsters who want to blow enormous smoke rings without coughing up a lung.

But the old smoker. Too late for vape to save her lungs. She must tote around a canister of oxygen to breathe easy.

Could vape technology help the oxygen dependent? Some only need the vitamin O when climbing stairs or performing feats of strength. What about vapeable oxygen?

One must have an oxygen containing liquid to release to oxygen, and something stable at room temperature and pressure. Hydrogen peroxide fits the bill. A lot of oxygen is glommed onto that water, waiting to be released in the life-sustaining vape. How much O2? My numbers:

How about this excellent reference on hydrogen peroxide (link)

1 ml of 3% H2O2 evolves 10 ml O2 gas 1 ml of 6% H2O2 evolves 20 ml O2 gas So 1 ml 99% H2O2 evolves 330 ml O2 gas

6 hours has 360 minutes x 250 = 90,000 ml O2 required 90,000 ml / 330 ml = 272 ml H2O2. That is less than the volume of a can of soda.

Can that be right? Checking against liquid oxygen with an expansion ration of 1:860 860 = 104 ml.

90,000 ml of O2 is a fair bit. If a person uses oxygen at 2L/min 90,000 ml of O2 will get them 45 minutes. But if you only need a few huffs at the top of the stairs, one vape container of peroxide will last you a long time.

Don't spill it.
