Breathing System – Air Alteration Accessories

Vendor: VAST

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self breath play. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, there is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please just never do it alone!

Example of the modularity and versitility of the VAST Breathing System

This is the third review on the ongoing serious in covering VAST extreme versatile (and thus complex) Breathing System. In the past I have covered the basic elements and took a detailed look at their Capsule Injector. Today I will review all different accessories which allow subsumed under altering the air stream.

If you want to get a quick overview of the Breathing System, take a look at my first and second unboxing. Recently I got my hands on a second FM12 so I soon will be able to show how to transform a gas mask using the Deluxe Upgrade Kit and Superior Latex Head Harness.

After that short orientation, let’s dive straight into it.

Switch (129€)

The name of this element is pretty telling: It is a switch between two air sources.

It looks like a small brother of the Rebreather. It has a diameter of 80mm and it 47mm tall like its big brother. It also features the same thick and easy to grab and to turn switch which tapers towards the end. The end points to one of two female GM40 ports. The port it points to is the port through which air goes in. The air will flow out through a female port on the opposite side of the Switch.

The Switch with the Inhaler & Breath Reducer Vario

The Switch is a useful, if not essential toy to play with the Air Alteration Accessories which I will review below. With just a turn you can switch between clean air or whatever flavoring device you are using. Or – as a top friend did – have two flavors of poppers ready. It is an extremely useful tool when you do multi-sub rebreathing (as one sub breathes the exhaled air of another). In this situation, getting fresh air into the system used to be very cumbersome. The switch makes it finally so easy that is it a relaxed scene.

If you want to integrate the Switch into your Breathing System setup, please only use short hoses! The longer the system, the more difficult it gets for the lungs to inhale fresh air. So in order to prevent unintended breathing issues, keep it short and tight!

Breath Reducer Vario (34.95€)

This a modern and multi-functional take on the tradition breath reducer with a simple hole. It is a 40mm short tube with a diameter just fitting into a female GM40 port. The lower third of the tube has a male GM40 thread so you can directly screw it into a gas mask or any air inlet of the breathing system. The top features five 6mm holes which are covered by an aligning disk with five 6mm holes. The rim of the disk is textured so it is easily turnable even with lubey hands or wearing thick gloves.

The Breath Reducer Vario Half Shut

When you turn the disk, the intersection of the holes and thus their diameter decreases and reducing the airflow. At about a third of a turn the air flow is noticeably reduced. Since there is seal between the disk and the top air can be sucked through the little gaps even when the holes are completely closed. But it is extremely difficult and strenuously. So the toy lives up to his name being a REDUCER and not a cut of. This is a failsafe because you cannot cut off the air permanently but forgetting to open it again. If you want to cut off the air flow completely, cover the disk with your palm. This way you are in direct contact close to the sub and can react directly if a situation is developing.

If the turning and gradual reducing of air flow is too distracting and thus sophisticated for you and you want the trusted and simple solution, VAST also offers a 6mm breath reducer for 22.95€.

Vaporizer with Switz

Vaporizer with Switch (169€)

The core of this toy is a switch tin with 80mm diameter and 47mm height like the other ones. In the middle there are GM40 female ports on each side. The rotary switch can point to two settings: Parallel to the ports is the “Pass”, turned about 30° down is “Vape”. When turned to Vape, the air flow is threaded through two 90° pipes which end in a lid. Onto this lid a 70mm diameter and 250ml volume can is a screwed.

The tin can be filled with poppers drenched cotton or whatever other aerosol emitting substance you want to expose your bottom to. The fumes can saturate the air trapped in the tin so once you turn the switch he is hit with a large quantity. If you want to reuse whatever you have put into the can, it comes with a screw-on cap to safe it for a later scene.

The Breath Reducer Vario on an AVON S10

The Vaporizer is a good element for extreme poppers pigs who want a strong, heavy rushing load. Through the easy to turn switch, dosing and turning off the poppers supply is easily and quickly done. Unlike other combinations (see below) it is a compact and integrated united. So especially when the high poppers does might impair you, it can be easily operated.

This is totally subjective but I love this element a lot! I like the bulky, heavy duty feel and look! It has a mad scientist vibe with the two kinked noticeable tubes from the switch to the screw lid. It just looks and feels heavy duty.

BUT: It does not make sense for everybody. The combination of a Switch with the Vaporizer or Inhaler (see below) is the more versatile solution. If you ONLY want to use poppers and NEVER would attach other accessories to the Switch, the Vaporizer with Switch makes sense. But if maybe want to have a scene in which you switch between a bubbler bottle and poppers, I would rather recommend the combo of the Switch with one of the two toys below. But if you are a toy nerd like me, you got to have both because you can create even more elaborate scene where you can switch between piss flavored and clean air and then can decide if poppers are induced or not.

(Popper) Inhaler

Inhaler (49.95€)

On top of the Inhaler sits a tube with a male GM40 thread on the outside to easily screw it directly into a gas mask or compatible accessory. On the next level below is a 10mm hole which leads to a 90° tube. This tube penetrates the lid and lets fresh air into the 100ml tin screwed onto the lit. The lid is also perforated with five round 50mm holes to let the whatever aerosol is trapped inside the tin stream upwards.

Topview of the Inhaler’s Lid

This is not only a great toy for any poppers pig who plays with gas masks. It is a great toy for every poppers pig! Drench (a few) cotton ball(s) with poppers, put them into the container and screw the top on. The bend tube and the five holes are small enough to trap most of the vapors inside. As soon as you start huffing with just your nose and mouth the agent escapes easily, flooding your lungs and mind. Especially in messy party situations or when you are clumsy like me so handling a bottle full of poppers can be dangerous, huffing safely from the Inhaler instead of an open bottle is so much handier. If you want to switch poppers brand throughout the night, a replacement tin with a lid costs 3.90€.

 

Bottom view of the Vaporizer’s Lid with it’s Tin on the Right

Vaporizer (79€)

The last of the three poppers inducing tools is the Vaporizer. It is a lid with two female GM40 ports on top. The lead to different holes in the lid so there are distinct in and out ports depending on the layout. The lid screws onto the same 70mm diameter 250ml plastic can like the Vaporizer with Switch. The can comes with a lid so you can store whatever is inside once the scene is done.

If you already have the Switch to alter between air and fumes and are playing with a HEAVY poppers pig, the Vaporizer is the way to go. Through the larger container about 2.5times more poppers fumes can collect than inside the Inhaler.

The Bubbler

The Vaporizer is a tool if your sub is into the permanent introduction of smells into the system. In this scenario put it directly before the air intake of the gas mask so the fumes hit him permanently. However, the nose quickly becomes desensitized to smells so the effect is limited. I would not recommend this with poppers because constantly breathing the vapors is not good for your heart and lung.

Bubbler (69€)

The Bubbler uses the same two female GM40 port design. The inlet is connected to 200mm long silicone tube which is closed with a plug at the bottom. In the bottom 4 rows of 5 holes have been punched inside the hose. The outlet is just a short 90° tube from the bottom of the lid. The head screws onto a 1l bottle. The thread fits many 1l milk bottles – at least in Germany. It even works with glass ones if you want to bring such material into your playroom.

The name of this toy comes from the effect it has: You fill it with a liquid – most commonly piss – till at least the highest of the holes inside the hose are covered. Once you start to breath, you have to create so long underpressure until the water level drops below the hole and the “vacuum” is broken. By doing this breathing is made harder because you first need to create sufficient underpressure (the higher the water column, the more underpressure is necessary). It also flavors the breathing air with whatever liquid is inside. In the process the liquid bubbles and thus the name.

The Bubbler’s Hose

This bubbler is a bit different from other bubblers I have played with. Usually a bubbler has a hose for letting air in. The immersion depth determines how difficult it is to get fresh air. Through this hose you can also add liquid if you are a meany. With this toy you have to decide how intense the scene is going to be by choosing the liquid levels. But to be frank, due to the small volume of the bottle and the highest hole being at about 40% of the way up, even in a full bottle drawing breaths is not getting so much harder. So this is rather a piss flavorer than breathing impairer.

Of course other bubblers have a hole in the top for the hose to go through. With the Vast Bubbler you can take the piss home with you in a replacement bottle. This will be extremely useful for pro doms!

When playing with this bubble, a bit of care is necessary. Due to the chunk, heavy-duty gas mask ports on top, it is extremely head-heavy. Add to this the small footprint of the bottle and it can easily tip over, causing the piss to flow everywhere. My recommendation is to put it in a lube bottle holder to store it safely.

Sniffer (119€)

The Siffer with the Two Jar Sizes

The Sniffer follows the same basic design of the Bubbler: Two female GM40 ports, one connected to 130mm hose, this time with only 4 holes in one of the 6 rows, one connected just by a hole through the lid and short 90° tube. The lid has a 100mm diameter and its thread fits large pickle jars 😉 The Sniffer comes with two PET bottles – or rather jars –, one with 1,250ml and one with 4,000ml.

As the name says, it is made for sniffing things, most often probably underwear or socks. Getting a jockstrap cup through the 100mm opening is a pain in the ass so I would not recommend it.

It is a good toy for inhaling the scents your top wants to expose you to if you stick to a few simple rules:

  • Don’t overpack. Fumes need spaces to waft. If you pack it to the brim, not only the hose will be kinked, shutting off the air, but the smell is packed instead of free flowing.
  • The warmer the medium, the better the smell. Often I get messages of frustrated sneaker and sox slave who have bought gear from one of their admired tops and the smell is rather faint. Body heat releases the smell so wear it for a couple of minutes before putting it inside. What I would NOT recommend is putting a warm grain pillow inside the jar! Those have a strong graining inherent smell and if you are not having a horse play scene it is really unsexy.

If you daisychain the Sniffer in a setup behind another fume agent – like a poppers source or the Bubbler bottle – be prepared for the content to take on the smell. Most often I used the Sniffer with really rank sox and the switch so the bottom was periodically exposed to heavy fumes and clean air. Since the sense of smell quickly gets used to smells, periodic break or switching between two strong smells for continuous intense effects is strongly recommended. But this toy also works if you want to prime your sub to your smell and let him breath only through the Sniffer. If you don’t pack it too densely (see above), you can comfortably breath through it so without the airflow being impaired. So the sub can sniff your smell indefinitely.

Again the (replacement) jars come with a lid so you can store whatever inside for the next scene.

Breathing System – Capsule Injector

Vendor: VAST

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self breath play. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, there is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

The VAST Breathing System Capsule Injector

After publishing my review of the Basis of the VAST Breathing System (link to review), I have gotten a couple of questions if the Capsule Injector also works with other breath play setups. In short, yes of course. For the long answer and because if you connect it directly to a gas mask you need to follow a little piece of advice, I decided give this toy a separate review.

Construction

The center of the Capsule Injector is a small 3D printed t-piece. On one side a 6l rubber breathing bag is attached, opposite of it a 50mm long gas mask hose ends in a GM40 port. Perpendicular to these things a black anodized aluminum cartridge holder for standard kitchen usage N2O cartridges is attached.

The Packaging of the Capsule Injector (comes without cartridges)

The toy comes in a beautiful heat-embossed wooden box outfitted with cut-out foam to house the toy. There are also holes for 24 cartridges so you can store them along the toy. Along with the toy itself comes a GM40 screw-on adaptor for attaching the Capsule Injector to 20mm professional breathing system tubes used in hospitals for example.

Playing with the Capsule Injector

Just by itself the Capsule Injector works as a standard 6l re-breathing bag. Of course this only works in a closed system in which you breathe in and out of the same port. Most gas masks have separate inlets and outlets which are sealed by back pressure valves. So in order to use a re-breathing bag, you need to modify them. For the most common gas mask types like the UDSSR GP-5 (commonly known as the “Russian gas mask”), AVON S10 or FM12 you can easily find guides online.

The GM40-to-20mm-Pro-Breathing-System-Adaptor

This closed-circuit breathing is also a necessity for N2O play. It gets absorbed quite slowly so it needs to rebreathed several times. Working with the capsules originally designed to power kitchen whipping siphons is usually a bit cumbersome. The Capsule Injector makes it very easy: You unscrew the bottom of the cartridge holder, put the cartridge in, screw it tightly and the gas gets released.

The Capsule Injector attached to a FM12 by a VAST Rebreather

If you are attaching the Capsule Injector directly to the gas mask or use a setup without a valve between the injector and the breathing mask, a word of warning: The pressure inside the capsule is quite high and once opened it will rush inside the bag, the tubes and also the breathing mask. This sudden increase in pressure can damage the lungs. So when popping the capsule, the bottoms mouth should be shut and he should be exhaling through his nose. This is not an optimal method but at least a bit safer. A slightly less expensive valve alternative to the VAST Rebreather (for example if you want to play with a modified Russian gas mask which currently does not work with the Rebreather) is the VAST Breathing Switch for 129€. With this you can simply switch between clean air and the Capsule Injector so all the capsule pressure goes into the bag from where it can be rebreathed safely.

A common point of criticism in the messages post the review was that the breathing bag is firmly connected to the cartridge holder instead of using a GM40 port. That way the 6l rebreathing bag could be exchanged for a smaller rebreathing bag. The 6l bag is actually necessary because one N2O capsule holds about 6l of gas. Smaller volumes would increase the pressure inside the system (see above). So when playing with N2O you are kind of stuck with 6l. If you want smaller bags, you have to pre-fill them externally where the access gas can escape before attaching the bag to the setup directly which again is a cumbersome process.

Conclusion: Innovative special purpose restraint with practical shortcoming.

VAST Breathing System – The Basis

Vendor: VAST

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self breath play. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, there is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please just never do it alone!

Some components of the VAST Breathing System

For years I have been asked to review breath play toys and I refused! I deemed breath play too dangerous to make people curious to try it out, especially on the own. However, the VAST Breathing System makes breath play more controllable that I decided to review it.

Controllable does NOT mean less dangerous! Breath play is always hardcore edge play and should NEVER BE DONE ALONE! Regardless of how much you think you have thought it out and how easy breath play get with this system, never do it alone.

As a disclaimer, I have been involved in the design of the design of this system early on. Most of the elements I am basing this review on are pre-production samples on which I have been giving feedback. Except minor alterations, they represent the products you would get if you ordered elements of the system. Most of my feedback went towards adding new elements (for example the screw-in one direction valve). While I try to stay as neutral as possible when writing about this system, please always keep in mind that the feedback of my testees and me has already been taken into consideration and thus my view might be a bit more positive as it would have otherwise has been. But as always I try to describe in depth what the system can do so you decide if it is useful for your play or not.

The Medical Mask Connected to the Rebreather

This being a system of toys, I decided to split this review in at least two parts: This will cover the basic elements and in a follow up in a few weeks I talk about fun but not necessary additions.

All that being said, let’s dive into the fun.

Construction

All elements of the VAST Breathing System are 3D printed. For the first prototypes they used a dark blue polymer because it was sturdier.  They have now found a black one with equal properties so you should get all black toys with the typical silky-rough surface of a 3D printed object. This manufacturing process also explained the price: Especially the larger items take hours to print and require a lot of polymer. Due to the small numbers these toys will be made cheaper manufacturing methods like die casting is not an alternative. So like with many kink toys you have the pay a premium for premium quality toy.

The S10 Upgrade Kit

Being 3D printed, all elements fit perfectly into each other and are air-tight. The air seal is supported by the silicone grease which also makes all parts move smoothly. Every moving part comes with a little jar just in case you need to relubricate. Do not use oil based lubrication for these toys! Oil and grease will damage and destroy rubber and latex! Since the gas masks, hoses and rebreathing bags for breath play are made out of rubber, you will harm these elements permanently.

The bigger parts and sets come in nicely finished and heat-embossed wooden containers. For easy storage of the individual pieces are housed in foam skips.

The Head Gear

The system is build around the NATO GM40 standard with a 40mm thread. In order to function properly, it needs a separate in and out. This means, it does NOT work with the popular Russian gas mask (though I think they are working on something) or the German one combined with a GM40 adaptor. With some 3D printed modifications it could probably work with the new British GSR. The system was primarily designed to work with the popular British Avon S10 or Avon FM12 gas mask. If you don’t have one of these gas masks, VAST sometimes sells them. But post-Brexit they have been very difficult to get.

The S10 Exhale Valve

In order to make these gas masks ready for play, you need to take the speech membrane out of the right port and on the S10 replace the left one with the Exhale Valve (49.90€). I have gotten this valve along with S10 Upgrade Kit (239€). This kit includes not only a stainless steel tool for – hopefully – easy conversion and the Exhale Valve but also a replacement for the front insert with a screw off middle part. Instead of the middle part you can put in different tunnels with diameters of 40mm, 45mm and 50mm or holders for the Fleshlight Classic and Fleshlight GO. This kit has been sitting around my playroom for a couple of months now but I have not used it yet.  As written above, the S10 and FM12 have been very hard to get and gotten very expensive. So I have not had it in my heart to transform one of two S10 I have gotten using the kit. As soon as I have gotten my hand on another S10/FM12 I will document the transformation process and link the article here. If you every wanted to facefuck you breath controlled, gas masked bottom or turn him into a human Fleshlight, this is the way to go!

The Prototype of the Screw-In One-Way Valve

Partly why I was hesitant to modify one of my gas masks was that I already turned my FM12 into a BC one by taking the membranes out on both sides and sealed the exhale vent in the middle. However, in order for the VAST Breathing System to work, one port must be one-way. So I recommended to create a GM40 screw-in one-way valve. In the first prototype I used for this review, the valve was integrated into a gas mask hose. The last prototype was as originally suggested by me an element to be screwed between the gas mask and any hose. It is not on the website yet and I don’t know the price yet. I will update this review as soon as it is online. In the meantime, write them an e-mail. This screw-in valve of course makes every GM40 two-port breath control rubber hood (from Studio Gum for example) compatible with this system.

The Medical Mask with the Mask Splitter to seperate the In- and Exhale

If a gas mask is too much for you, you rather wear a different hood or a blindfold instead of a gas mask or want something handy to press manually onto your sub’s face, the Medical Mask (19.95€) is the way to go. It needs to be combines with the Mask Splitter (99€) which adds two GM40 ports each one-way valved to the Medical Mask. To fix the medical mask to the head, VAST developed a Head Harness (69.50€) out of the extra strong Superior Latex. The straps are long enough to accommodate even big heads. Since Superior Latex is soft and smooth like garment latex, there is little pressure on the head and you can lie on it comfortably. The buckles are small so if you lie on your side, they are noticeable but not really uncomfortable.

Being a sensual player, this is the combination I use most with the breathing system. It allows me to look into my sub’s eyes unobstructed while caressing his head or nibbling on his ears. A friend of mine is really into sleek and slick rubber drone play. He preferred the medical mask too because it was the smallest addition to the flowing lines of the seamless black rubber cocoon his subs wear.

Detail of the Labeling on the Rebreather

The Rebreather (189€)

This is the main element of the Breathing System and game changer in breath play for me!

It is a 47mm tall can with a diameter of about 100mm. In the middle sits a big, remarkable smooth-turning switch which can be gripped and operated easily even when wearing thick gloves.  Into the tin’s rim the words “intern” and “extern” are printed. Around the tin five female GM40 ports are located. Each port is also labeled on top.

Setting up the Rebreather is quite intuitive: Connect the GM40 port labeled “Breath In” with the gas mask port for breathing in, the port labeled “Breath Out” with the corresponding mask port. In order for the system to work, the airflow passing through the mask must be uni-directional! Because of this, a one-ways valve on the breathing out is essential! Finally, attach a re-breathing bag to the aptly named “Bag” port and you are ready to go.

When your sub inhales for the first time, the switch should be turned to “extern” so he draws in fresh air. Before he starts to exhale, switch to internal. Now his breath is caught in the bag and he draws his air from there. Once he needs fresh air, simple turn the switch again to “extern”, the air goes out through the port “Air Out” and fresh comes in through “Air In”.

That’s it! Very anti-climactic and simple. But that’s the beauty of this system. In the past breath play involved manually holding shut hoses, pulling off masks or unscrewing bags just in time. Timing these time-taking actions just right that there were hot enough to kick the sub’s head but timely enough to avoid panic or even worse accidents was a skill which took very long to learn. And put clumsy people like me off breath play. Now getting the sub that sweet, sweet fresh air is just a switch turn away. It makes breath play more controllable and thus safer. Let me iterate here again that this doesn’t mean you can play with the system on your own! It just makes breath play easier so the top can focus more on doing fun things to his sub.

The Wide Range of Male/Male Hoses

Since the system is built around GM40 female ports, you need hoses with male connectors on both sides. For those who have built their breath play toy bag around professional anesthetic gear, VAST made a GM40 connector (18,90€) for those hoses.  Very rarely you can find GM40 male/male hoses in military surplus stores – most hoses are male/female. If you don’t have any male/ male, VAST sells those hoses. The nice thing about those is that the connector is disconnected from the hose end in a screwcap style. So when you turn connect the elements you just have to turn the screw and not the object the port is connected to.  This makes the relatively steep price somewhat justifiable. Another advantage of these hoses is that unlike the surpluses hoses which usually have the standard length of 45cm they come in length from 10cm to 105cm.

This is nifty because one disadvantage of the system is that the elements are bulky and heavy and adding a lot of long hoses doesn’t help (especially once you start incorporating other fun elements which I will talk about in a few weeks). So using short hoses keeps the entire setup at least somewhat compact. And from a certain point on it also becomes a safety issue. Depending on the lung capacity and strength, the sub’s draft can become too weak to pull fresh air through the tubes. So in order to stay safe, I recommend staying below 150cm total length between the point where fresh air enters and the sub’s mouth.

Detail of the Capsule Injector

In order to work properly, a breathing bag needs to be attached to the port labeled “bag”. You can use professional breathing bags together with the GM40 adaptor I mentioned in the section about hoses. Some kink stores also sell breath bags with a male GM40 port attached already. Depending on sub’s size and which sports he does, the average lung capacity is between 2l and 4l (extremely sporty guys or divers manage up to 8l…).

For more elaborate play VAST developed the Capsule Injector (119€). It is a 6l breathing bag with a male GM40 connector. Once attached to the “Bag” port, it works like a standard breathing bag.  Between the connector and the bag sits aluminum cartridge holder for standard kitchen use N2O capsules. In order to introduce the gas into the system, turn the switch on the Rebreather to “extern”, put the capsule in to the cartridge holder screw it tightly so the gas fills the bag (one capsule is about 6l so the bag inflates almost completely). Once the sub has exhaled, turn the switch to “intern” and let him rebreathe the agent. Since N2O is only slowly absorbed and thus needs to be rebreathed, this is a very elegant and sophisticated method compared to the other ways the gas is usually inhaled and rebreathed.

One of the Shut Off GM40 Ports

Very long story short, the concept behind the breathing system is a simple one: Using a switch to change fresh air to rebreathing. And a few gear enthusiasts have built elaborate breath play setup in their playrooms. But they are mostly stationary and not easy to rebuilt by unskilled and/ or unhandy people. So as far as I know the VAST Breathing System is the first portable, easy and more importantly safe to use breath play system. As a clumsy person I never felt comfortable to top breath play even though I knew the science behind it and theoretically have the skills. With the Rebreather and the accompanying toys I feel safe enough to do more breathe play as a top.

This review only covers the basis of the breathing system. It includes many different tools for forced poppers huffing, breathing the smell of piss or used socks and underwear, rebreathing the breath of a fellow sub. I will take a look at these toys in a review in a few weeks.

Conclusion: Innovative special purpose restraint with practical shortcoming.
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Safe to use even in extreme scenes A bit bulky & heavy VAST
High price
Very easy to use Does not work on one-port gasmasks (S10 can be converted)

Unboxing Additional Components of the VAST Breathing System

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self breath play. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, there is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please just never do it alone!

In June I unboxed my MASSIVE order of the VAST Breathing System. It is a cool system, but did not really work with my already modified FM12. Way back in 2015 I modified my gasmask to allow rebreathing with two bags so air flows in and out through both sockets. So I asked the guys at VAST if they could develop a screw-in one-way valve – and along the process ordered some other new stuff from their line.

So this is my highlight of the order: A hose with an integrated one-way valve!

This way I can finally use my already modified gasmask with the breather system. Of course, I could have used the Upgrade Kit for AVON respirators but at the moment I am still having a hard time “sacrificing” one of my few, valuable S10 or FM12 to modify them so heavily.

Second highlight is the Switch. As the name says, it is an easy to turn switch between two air intakes. This is a really useful addition because now I can quickly switch between clean air or forced sniffing/ bubbling/ air reduction.

Like all larger elements of the Breathing systems it comes in a cool wooden box with foam cut-outs for easy storage. Included is silicone grease to keep the mechanic smooth and plastic care. Speaking of plastic, this is from the “new”, final production run which comes in dark, matt plastic instead of the blue one my early adopter parts were made out.

There are also two new sniffing or poppers toy out there. The larger one is the Vaporizer. Like the name implies, it is like the Vaporizer with Switch just without the switch. With this toy you are forced to sniff the odor continuously. The container is large enough to hold a jockstrap or dirty sock too.

The smaller one called Inhaler features an interesting design of air inlet and diffusion holes below a GM40 thread. It can be easily attached to any gas mask with 40mm thread but the short tube is also perfect for sticking your nose in for easy, low risk inhaling. The perfect combination in my opinion is attaching it to the Medical Face Mask with a Mask Splitter. Just push it into your (or your bottom’s) face and the person below will only inhale the vaporizing fumes from the container.

The last items are “housekeeping”: For very complex setups I needed an additional T– and Y-splitter. And hoses! You cannot have enough hoses when playing with this system. Currently I am still in the middle of the reviewing process and I am not sure you need more of shorter or longer hoses. But with hoses in 42cm, 38cm, 30cm, 26cm, 21cm, 20cm, 18cm, 14cm and 9.5cm lengths you should be covered regardless how you play.

The review will probably follow in the second half of September. So watch this space when you are interested in this kind of play.

Unboxing the VAST Breathing System

Important Security Information

As hot and horny breath play is, NEVER DO IT ALONE OR BY YOURSELF! Every year we lose several members of the kink community to self-breathplay. No matter how much you think you have figured out the safety and falls backs, the is always a slight and sadly often lethal chance of it failing.

This especially applies to playing with inhalants like poppers or N2O/ laughing gas.

If you are curious about breath play, look for experienced partners to introduce you to this kink and its intricacies. Please never do it alone!

I have known VAST (formerly Demask Dortmund) for almost 1 ½ decades. It is where I have bought my first rubber surf suit, where my sling is from and the owner and founder made the technical drawings for the bondage capable bed I am still sleeping in. Jens is not only a truly kinkster at heart but also a creative engineer who comes up with all sorts of new and horny designs. Half a year ago he told me about a system designed to make breathplay easier and safer. Since a lot of you guys are interested in this kink and I have ignored the review requests due to security concerns, I was instantly interested in it.

1 ½ weeks ago a BIG parcel arrived with a mix of final and pre-production elements of the VAST Breathing System. All elements are compatible with standard 40mm GM40 NATO gas mask accessories like hoses or filers.

Since not all elements were finally packaged, there might be some difference of what is included in a particular product. To be sure, please check the linked product page. Also, during the test production, they noticed that the black polymer was not as sturdy as they desired. They switched to another one which only comes in a cool looking dark blue. So if you are looking for an all-black aesthetics, this is not for you. Under “typical” blue or red playroom lighting, the dark blue is almost indistinguishable from black.

The heart of the VAST Breathing System is the Rebreather. Like all elements it comes in a nice wooden box with heat-embossed technical drawing of the product on top.

The Rebreather is a switch which either lets fresh air into the system or create a closed-loop rebreathing system. For the closed system either attach a standard breathing bag, a Breath Reducer

… or the Capsule Injector.This is a T-piece with a 6l breathing bag on the one side and a male 40mm NATO thread on the other side. At the bottom is metal screw-in N2O injector. A standard N2O capsule roughly fills 6l thus the size of the breathing bag. If you want to store the toy inside the wooden box, there is space for 24 standard N2O capsules so you can keep the supplies along with the gear.The Capsule Injector also comes with an adapter to attach medical breathing gear.To scent and flavor the air you breath, there are three options. The first is the Bubbler which allows you to breath through a liquid like piss for example. It comes with a 1l bottle.

If you want to enjoy the smell of sox or underwear, go for the Sniffer.

It comes with a 1.5l…

…and a 4l container with a Ø100mm lid so you can easily put the scent carriers inside and retrieve them.

The final option is the Vaporizer.

This is again an easy to turn switch which should be placed between the air-intake of the gas mask and every other breath play accessory you want to add to your setup.

To add the vapors there is a small canister with a 70mm thread into which poppers drenched cotton is placed. Like on the Capsule Injector, there are five spaces to store poppers bottles inside the box.

To use all these toys, you need a piece of gear which covers mouth and nose and has a GM40 ports. The sleekest solution is the combination of a Medical Face Mask combined with the Mask Splitter and attached to the head using the Head Harness made out of Superior Latex.

More elaborate are of course gas masks. For the iconic Avon S10/ FM12 VAST created an Upgrade Kit to turn the standard respirator into a breath play toy.

First there is a stainless steel tool to easily take out the front insert (next week I will post a short How-to use it).

This is replaced with an air-tight  front insert which echos the look of the original. The center can be screwed off and replaced with either…

… tunnel inserts for face fucking with 40mm, 45mm or 50mm internal diameter (if you are more well-endowed, you are out of luck since there is no more space) or…

…. A holder either for a Fleshlight Classic of Fleshlight GO.

Finally, there is a new exhalation valve to enable a closed breathing circuit.

If you do not have an Avon S10/ FM12 gas mask, VAST offers a FM12 with an attached hood.

For connecting the different accessories with each other, VAST offers hoses in 12cm, 15cm, 22cm, 40cm and 42cm length.

To keep everything in place, VAST makes small belts out of their aramid reinforced Superior Latex. They are designed to attach the different gear pieces to their Superior Rubber Y-harness.

On Reviewing Anal and Breath Control Toys

Welcome back from the hiatus guys. Despite being short it was a greatly needed time to recover, gather new ideas and just relax. You all can look forward to some exciting new stuff coming in the next couple of month.
I also took the time to think about ToyTorture.com. In a couple of weeks this website will celebrate its fourth birthday. Four years ago I was already working hard on producing content, designing the layout and struggling with WordPress. It has been tremendous four years. If you would have told me where this website and its social media channels would be today and what doors it would open for me, I would have laughed at you, calling you an even bigger day dreamer than I am. I also would have hardly believed that this project would still be running, bringing me a lot of fun, joy, work and most of all in touch with interesting people! You, the readers of ToyTorture.com, your questions, comments and criticism motivate me to keep writing, showing that this website has indeed become a trusted and respected resource in the kink community.
In the past four years the readership and I has changed. I started this website as the resource I was always looking for when I started out in BDSM: A place to provide information on which are the best toys to buy for a certain scene. So my core readership was BDSM players. But as I got more successful perverts, kinksters and pet players of all walks of life started reading my little website and sending questions in, asking for reviews of toys for their kink.
The premise of ToyTorture.com was always that I would only review toys that – in theory – I would like myself (in the review process it could always come up that the toy is horrible). There are so many toys and manufacturers out there that this was the only somewhat reasonable heuristic how I – with limited time and money – could choose which toys to review. Looking back four years ago, I was not into anal play at all. Looking at my xTube channel… well… things have changed. So in the next couple of month I will break with the paradigm that I won’t review toys without added play value. I have selected some high quality, ass busting toys which I am looking forward to test for you. Since I can’t apply the usual criteria I use for BDSM toys it will be an interesting  experience for me to see how I  will be reviewing these toys.
Another category of toys I have been ignoring in the past four years were breath control toys. I simply consider breath play a too potentially dangerous for of play to „spark some interest for spontaneous trying out a new kink“ (something I hear often from readers who read my texts). But on the other hand people will try out breath play regardless if I write about it or not. So after much consideration I decided to at least will write some intro on breath play providing pieces of information how somewhat safely approach this extreme form of kink.
I look forward to continue bringing you fun, interesting and educational content, hearing your feedback and make ToyTorture.com your primary resource on BDSM toys.
