Diving deeper on questions surrounding a Co2 Cannon rental

To dive a little deeper in the some of these questions and get some answers on these from an expert let's take a closer look.

What length of Hose do you need for your CO2 cannon rental?

It's a wise decision to make sure you have all your calculations for High pressure CO2 hose lengths present before ordering or requesting a quote, as this will help expedite the process. Depending on your setup and distance of tanks from the CO2 cannons, the high pressure CO2 hose lengths may vary. With CryoFX®, we manufacture our own CO2 high pressure hose, therefore should your rental require high pressure CO2 hoses above normal links or something that is out of stock in the rental department, we can manufacture a high pressure CO2 hose within minutes and have it ready for your rental.

do you need CO2 tanks with your CO2 cannon rental?

This is a common question that we ask and the reason why we ask it is because we also offer a CO2 tank delivery service. So if another question arises such as, “ is there a CO2 delivery near me?” the answer would be yes. CryoFX® broker CO2 gas delivery service across the United States and therefore we can also offer CO2 tanks for your CO2 cannon rental at a discounted rate, since you are already getting a CO2 cannon hire package already. Should you have any more questions about CO2 delivery service, make sure you contact CryoFX® at 855-527-9639

Do you need a technician to set up your CO2 cannon rental or are you going to be doing this yourself?

Another common question here, and the reason why we ask this it's because CryoFX® also offers a full service CO2 cannon hire setup, operation, and strike accommodations. of course this is a build service, however having an expert take the service on in conjunction with your CO2 cannon rental, this could save you money as opposed to having multiple companies working together, since CryoFX® office package rates. Should you have any more questions about CO2 delivery service, make sure you contact CryoFX® at 855-527-9639

When is your rental date that you will need the CO2 cannon hire for?

This would be by far one of the most important questions. Your rental date for your CO2 cannon hire is important due to the fact of demand and other factors such as holidays, time of year, and other specific events or request that are going on as well. This would include CO2 tank delivery service as other events may also be requiring CO2 tanks and your activation or CO2 cannon hire is part of a larger event and therefore getting tanks at a later time, or equipment may be limited to specific resources, days, times or other factors. Pricing also reflects different times of the year and different holidays, as you can imagine. for an example New Year's Eve, which is the busiest holiday of the year outside of the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. These two scenarios would incur potential increase rates due to demand.

how many days will you need the CO2 cannon hire for?

This would also be an important question as the number of days would dictate the Co2 cannon hire / rental price as well. As an industry standard typically the longer the rental the more discount you get. there is a caveat to this and further explanation needed, which is conceptually as such; a daily rental for a weekend event would not be charged the daily rental x3, but would rather be an increased cost on the daily rental to reflect additional days at a discounted rate.

Example: A CO2 cannon hire cost $120 to rent for one day. The weekend rental what cost $155 for 3 days. A weekly rental may cost $200 for a week.at a monthly rental may cost $250 for the month. ( this scenario is just an example and does not reflect actual rental prices)

what model or type of CO2 cannon rental do you need?

The model or type of CO2 cannon you're going to be using for your CO2 cannon hire would also slightly dictate the cost. Something such as a handheld CO2 cannon versus a swing jet CO2 cannon would be different. A CryoFX® swing jet CO2 cannon what cost more than a CryoFX® handheld CO2 cannon

Co2 Special Effects company questions

Some questions that you may have for the CO2 special effects company:

Does your company offer a CO2 cannon rental near me? if not…

This is an important question to ask a CO2 cannon hire company. Why? Some companies offer a widespread service across the United States with multiple locations, whereas other companies have a single location that ships out products almost same day to certain locations in close proximity two major cities. Next day shipping would be to any locations that are not close to major cities or need additional processing.

how fast can your company ship out the CO2 cannon rental…

Depending on the company and location of the company, this is an important factor for consideration. based on the question above is also important depending on the answer. Cryofx for instance is located in a major city with resources available to ship most products same day two major cities and overnight almost anywhere in the United States, for a very low cost. Therefore, since you have a CO2 cannon hire anywhere in the u.s. Cryofx can assist quickly and efficiently

how long will the shipping take to get to me for the CO2 cannon hire

Again based on the answers above and information already provided this depends on where geographically in the United States you are located. Furthermore, the level of service of shipping you get also determines this as well.

Are the CO2 cannon products hire I'm requesting available immediately

To be blatantly blunt with this question and answer, this depends on the size of the rental department of the CO2 special effects company as well as other factors. More importantly one should make note that even though you have a quote for your CO2 cannon hire, with CryoFX® the products are not reserved until the quote or estimate is invoiced and paid. This is out of respect to all of our customers as you can imagine holding products for customers without payment would create chaos and be unfair to other customers who do pay and reserve those co2 cannon rental products first.

Does the question: Is there a Co2 Cannon rental near me really matter? NO!

When asking yourself,” Is there a CO2 cannon rental near me” the questions and answers above should help you make an educated decision on whether that statement and question is apparent as there may not be a CO2 cannon rental near you but there is a company, such as CryoFX® that can offer a CO2 cannon hire anywhere in the US that is not near you.

There are so many different models of CO2 cannons, and so many different functions of CO2 cannons, and even still and more confusing many different brands of CO2 cannons. be rest assured that CryoFX® is indirectly labeled as the premium brand and go to brand of CO2 special effects products. Why? without tarnishing any brands or names think of this comparison in context. Somebody asked for a Kleenex when they're actually referring to a tissue regardless of brand. When somebody ask for CryoFX, they're most likely and most of the time asking for the brand, however they could be asking for the effect as well, cryo effects, which is an effect that is cold hence the word cryo.

So back to what model of CO2 cannon for sale should I get. the model would directly be reflective of your use for it and the functionality that you would want with it, which we described in further detail below.

What functions does my CO2 cannon need to do?

The functions for a CO2 cannon for sale make up most of what the cost is with that CO2 canon for sale. for example a CO2 cannon such as the CryoFX® swing jet has a swinging functionality, or the CryoFX® LED CO2 jet , which has led functionality to light up the plume of CO2 special effects. both of those options would cost more than a standard stage mounted CO2 jet with DMX functionality and no extras, or a handheld CO2 cannon without any CO2 cannon DMX capabilities

Do I need a CO2 cannon with DMX capabilities or just power on and off functionality?

This question is one that you should know before contacting a CO2 special effects company such as CryoFX® . weather a CO2 cannon DMX capable unit or not the price would fluctuate slightly. a CO2 cannon DMX capable unit can be used with a DMX system as one would know. without CO2 cannon DMX capabilities a CO2 jet for sale could be something as simple as a CryoFX® high-output CO2 valve which would cost less than any CO2 jet for sale mentioned above. If using such CryoFX® high output CO2 valve, a standard on-and-off operation to control this is required, such as a power strip or a CryoFX® custom button to control CO2 special effects

How long of a co2 high pressure hose do I need for my CO2 cannon?

The length of a CO2 high pressure hose is dependent on a few factors which can include how far away your CO2 tanks are from your CO2 cannon. furthermore the number of hoses and whether you are daisy chaining your CO2 jet for sale or not are also dependent on this.CryoFX® Does not recommend daisy chaining CO2 Jets as CO2 pressure is lost downstream and therefore you will not have an even disbursement of CO2 and your show may look off balance or off center in doing so, that is daisy chaining CO2 Jets like some sellers recommend.
