I just found out about this and really wish I had done it sooner... You'll need baking soda, vinegar, and a large empty water bottle.
1) Pour a bit of vinegar into the large, empty water bottle. Then put baking soda until the mixture stops fizzing. The fizzing means CO2 is being released. Then put vinegar, then baking soda, etc. Go back and forth however many times you want until the mixture stops fizzing. At some point (not too much vinegar/baking soda are necessary), you will notice if you shake the bottle, the mixture doesn't as easily move around... This is a sign that there is a good amount of CO2 in the bottle, since it is heavier than and is pressing down on the solution, preventing it from moving around (basically looks like there is increased gravity).
2) CO2 is heavier than air so there is no worry about it leaving the bottle. Now, put the bottle to your mouth and basically pretend the CO2 is a liquid and try to drink from it (be careful not to drink the remaining solution, which is now sodium acetate, although it is a very good antibacterial for your intestine). As you inhale the air, you will feel a burning sensation, exactly like drinking soda. This is pure CO2.
I did this and got a massive amount of sweating, vasodilation, and mental clarity. It showed me how poor my circulation is normally and how horrible I currently feel relative to when I was a kid and had much better CO2 production...
If you already have good CO2 production, you probably won't feel much difference, unless you did something wrong in actually creating the CO2 by mixing the baking soda and vinegar (although it's pretty fool-proof...). One way to test there actually is CO2 is to light a candle and slowly tip the bottle over the candle without letting the liquid spill out. If there is CO2, the candle will immediately go out.
I feel like this is all grade school science, but I'm only just finding out about it...
