Ouch

Had a little stinger last night, maybe k5 or so, and it woke me up about 3am. Oxygen killed it in less than 5 minutes. I love my regulator. The 40LPM setting really kicks ass at 3am. It's a bit noisy and usually disturbs my wife, but not nearly as much as me yelling, screaming, and smacking my head on the floor.
I was wondering if anyone had a demand valve rig. I have a few questions for them about the requirements. A demand system would probably same on the amount of O2 being used. Am I correct in assuming that if you aren't breathing in, it sends nothing? Unlike the traditional system that has gas flowing out whether you're breathing it or not.
I love my tank. It is green and gorgeous. It is cold, and warming at the same time. I think I am in love with my oxygen. Is that abnormal? I just wish I had a smaller rig I could take with me on excursions away from the domicile.

Screaming silently

I can hear the pain tearing at my soul.
I can feel the demon's breath as it claws through my will to live.
Does the color red have to sound so dire?
As I reach for the dagger, the giver of new life,
I see the sounds that I've been hearing with my watering eyes
That wall of detriment, of excrement, of hated things, of love.
The sweet sound of exit is touching my thigh.
The metal is so cold.
"Wait!", it says, "don't you want to feel some more?"
No...
And the liquid flows.
