I have heard that kid's are inhaling Ref. to get a buz.... I am usually up on things, but I have not or would never have expected this. That explains 1 trouble call I was on which had a leak (presumably) and then it fixed itself after 3 years of leak checks with no leaks being detected.??? Hummmm

Welcome to the light. This has been going on for years. Don't quite understand the thrill, but there you go. Personally, I tend to encourage it for those so inclined--thins the herd. Darwin rules...0 -
One whiff....
and there goes Third Grade....
When done deliberately, it makes less intelligent people even less intelligent if it does not kill them.0 -

The scary thing is that...
The scary thing is that the youngsters must have seen someone else do it, or may have had access to the refrigerant that was on their father's service truck. I think that we owe it to the younger generations, and our own, to make refrigerants and other sunstances as hard to obtain as possible.
Whether it be securing our garages and trucks better or by placing locking service valve caps on our systems, the end result can only help our people.
It became newsworthy a few weeks ago that those who manufacture crystal meth are stealing refrigerant from air conditioning systems to use in the production process.0 -
I used to work with a guy that huffed refrigerant. When the boss found out he charged the guy for it! True story!
