Has anyone ever used anything other than nitrogen to fill gas shocks with?

Nitrogen is used in shocks because it does not have moisture in it like compressed air does. This allows the gas pressure to stay more consistent in the shock which in turn doesn't change your shock as much through a race after the shock warms up.
