Interesting: I knew German used (the equivalent) of "coalstuff" for carbon, but I didn't know they used "chokestuff" ("stickstoff") for nitrogen. Per the German wikipedia, that's due to its use in "choking out" flames.
And "sourstuff" for oxygen. Unfortunately they don't use "sunstuff" for helium though.
We also use "waterstuff" for hydrogen.
