Tritium tubes are simply gas-filled, thin glass vials with inner surfaces coated with a phosphor.

The gaseous tritium in these light sources undergoes beta decay, releasing electrons that cause the phosphor layer to fluoresce.

Tritium presents no external radiation threat via beta radiation when encapsulated in non-hydrogen-permeable containers due to its low penetration depth, which is insufficient to penetrate intact human skin.

These light sources can glow up to ten years without needing any kind of charging.

Tritium presents no external radiation threat via beta radiation when encapsulated in non-hydrogen-permeable containers due to its low penetration depth, which is insufficient to penetrate intact human skin. However, these devices do emit low levels of X-rays.

These give off about 1 micro-Sievert of radiation per hour. This is roughly the same amount of radiation you could get by eating 10 bananas.

A banana gives off roughly 0.1 micro-Sieverts. This amount is known as a Banana Equivalent Dose, or BED. Yes, this is a literal "banana for scale" reference:

Unless it gets inside you alpha and beta emitters are pretty much harmless, and the amount of tritium used wouldn't be very dangerous because it would quickly dissipate if released from it's tube.

That's why you break it when you are inside them. C'mon man. Use yer noodle.

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, and as such it is a gas that they would get rid of quickly enough that it would not cause much damage, the broken glass from the cock ring would do a lot more serious damage though.

beta emitters are pretty much harmless

pretty much

Contained like that yes but out in the open they can be pretty dangerous, alpha waves are completely harmless though.
User avatar #73 to #72 - lovot (04/08/2015) [-]
There is a very small amount of tritium, and it dissipates quickly, plus your skin will block beta radiation, so as long as you don't bite off the top of the vial and hold the tritium inside you it isn't going to be a serious problem.

The replacement blade we all wanted as kids.

I've already got one

I had to order the holder and the tritium separately, as there are restrictions in the states.

User avatar #50 to #47 - demonspawnedangel (04/07/2015) [-]
www.tecaccessories.com/TEC-S323.TEC-S323-Isotope

and i ordered the tritium from this guy

www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?170374-For-Sale-Tritium-Vials&s=a1fa731b40ae1e4d0510a9f1fad92ced

pay over paypal, and he will sent you the requested vial

I got ice blue for those wondering

how long does it stay lit
User avatar #151 to #64 - demonspawnedangel (04/08/2015) [-]
its half life is 12-14 years, so in that time period it will be half as bright.

User avatar #150 to #146 - demonspawnedangel (04/08/2015) [-]
more like selling restrictions, of which you need in the states some sort of license. where if from over seas you don't, depending of where you order it from. the link above the guy ships from Singapore.

They last 10 years, but you can't recharge them in any way. Gotta replace them like you would a lightbulb.

That's fine. I'll be old then and probably want a more boring ring
User avatar #226 to #17 - wiredguy ONLINE (04/08/2015) [-]
uh
no

the half life of tritium is 12.32 years
so after that time, it will be half as bright

but it will pretty much glow at some level for the rest of your life
User avatar #288 to #226 - reginleaf (04/08/2015) [-]
I just went with what OP said in his description.
User avatar #305 to #288 - wiredguy ONLINE (04/09/2015) [-]
yeah fair enough, but op is a retard
*shrug*

#267 to #226 - anon (04/08/2015) [-]
wat.
User avatar #268 to #267 - wiredguy ONLINE (04/08/2015) [-]
tritium is radioactive, the beta particles it emits energise the coating on the inside of the tube, causing it to go

every 12.32 years, enough atoms in a sample of tritium will decayed to halve it in size.
half the atoms means half the radiation, meaning half the intensity of the glow.
User avatar #270 to #268 - wiredguy ONLINE (04/08/2015) [-]
will have* decayed

fair enough

While this doesn't sound like much, the average radiation dose per day is about 10 microsieverts, wearing one of these for only 10 hours a day would easily double it (assuming you're smart enough to take it off at night, otherwise you've just tripled it). I know it's still not enough to do any damage, but doubling my daily radiation dose is not on the list of things that I would like to do.
User avatar #179 to #161 - faithrider (04/08/2015) [-]
didnt it say it emits no external radiation?
User avatar #195 to #179 - xtnega (04/08/2015) [-]
Read it again:
"Tritium presents no external radiation threat via beta radiation when encapsulated in non-hydrogen-permeable containers due to its low penetration depth, which is insufficient to penetrate intact human skin. However, these devices do emit low levels of X-rays.
These give off about 1 micro-Sievert of radiation per hour. This is roughly the same amount of radiation you could get by eating 10 bananas.

This isn't going to increase your radiation dose because beta particles can be stopped with a sheet of paper. Since it's encased in a glass tube, then recast in acrylic it's not dangerous.
