<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@gsuberland" class="u-url mention">@<span>gsuberland</span></a></span> The cans work great from a contamination perspective, they&#39;re either HFC-134a (which I think I&#39;ve entirely used up) or HFO-1234ze filtered to like 300 nm.</p><p>But they&#39;re expensive, not the most environmentally friendly (HFO-1234ze is lower GWP than HFC-134a but still not *great*), and during prolonged blowing the cans will freeze up and lose pressure so you have to round-robin several of them.</p><p>Even technical grade N2 is probably good enough, I can add an in-line dust filter or something if I see problems (will test), but I can always upgrade to UHP if I see issues. I don&#39;t have a compressor, nor do I have the space for one. I use little enough blow-gas that just driving a tank over to the lab makes more sense.</p>
