It depends on how far you want to go back in history! Here is the rough timeline:
Original Rush: amyl nitrite sold in glass vials, then in brown bottles (1960s thru early 1970s)
Second Generation Rush: as a result of complaints about "misuse" Eli Lilly asked that amyl nitrate be made a script only medication. In 1972 a dude called Hassing created isobutyl nitrite.
1976! The owner of Rush Brands, a California based gent called Jay Freezer, released the first BUTYL nitrite Rush. But don't think that poppers in the 70s or 80s were necessarily made from butyl, many still contained the original amyl.
1985 Joe Miller buys Rush Brands. Then followed in the 80s / 90s the great poppers clampdown. This lead to the creation of so called Frankenstein formulas like Hextl nitrite, and the "cyclo" family.
PWD cooperated with an Ely Lilly chemist and created a brand called QUICKSILVER...the best poppers ever, and what the Rush reputation is based on. Some posters have suggested that Quicksilver poppers contains the original amyl hidden behind the new formulas. I have no idea, but it is a stand out popper and very difficult to find, in it's original formulation, today but there are some places that specialize in "blast from the past" poppers, so it exists.
Because PWD got closed down, or whatever happened, in 2010, the poppers market changed. Suddenly Rush appeared in many varieties, some good, like Rush Ultra, some not so good like Rush UK Formula. It is very confusing and difficult these-days. But I suggest you try Quicksilver from one of those traditional, been around for decades shops, that do not stock 100s of weird brands. Good luck!
