Ever burn yourself with poppers?

Nostril burns are a good cue to upgrade to a topper or take a tolerance break.

Some poppers are sold with a small round white ball in the bottle. I don't know for sure, but I believe this is probably a small ball of an alkaline substance such as lye or washing soda, which can absorb the acid as degradation occurs, thereby keeping it from catalyzing further degradation. There is a patent from the 1950s on using such alkalies for this exact purpose.

I wonder if you can buy those balls anywhere. If that’s their purpose, I’d love them in all my poppers. 

Does refrigeration really help? I’ve heard mixed things.

If by “burn” you mean spill half a bottle down your nostril laying down… yes, I have. It was brutal.

Yep. Me too.
