Materials Needed for DIY Co2 Blaster / DIY Co2 Jet / DIY Co2 Cannon

As an inventor or innovator, consider picking materials that can be reused or extended for use to make your work efficient and save on funds. First, you will need a 20lb CO2 tank (or larger); you can buy or rent this tank that already contains CO2 Liquid.

Basic CO2 blasters consist of metal nozzles, handles, high-pressure CO2 hoses, high-pressure CO2 valves, and fittings, plus additional items like pipe joint compound or Teflon tape to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks.

Assembling Your DIY CO2 Blaster / DIY CO2 Jet / DIY CO2 Cannon

  1. Choose the Hose Length: Everything must be precise when picking the length of the hose because it varies depending on your usage. If you want to release CO2 clouds from farther away, you should have a longer hose. For closer use, a shorter high-pressure CO2 hose will work. For a single 20lb CO2 tank (or larger), you will only need one hose to connect the tank to the handle and nozzle.

  2. Get the CryoFX DIY CO2 Jet Package: Buy the CryoFX DIY CO2 Jet Package with a nozzle that has a diameter of 1.5 inches and a length of about 8 inches.

  3. Connect the Nozzle, Handle, and Hose: Use fittings to connect one end of the nozzle with the handle, then with the hose. Different kinds and styles of fittings and handles are available on the market, but using the ones in the package guarantees you will have a proper working CryoFX DIY CO2 Jet Package. Ensure that the hose and handle are highly rated and of good quality, as they will be used with pressurized liquid CO2 and must hold cold temperatures up to the freezing point.

  4. Install the Fittings: Use a jointing compound rated for low temperatures because carbon dioxide can get extremely cold, colder than the freezing point.

  5. Install the CO2 Fitting: After installing the fittings and hose to the handle and nozzle, install the CO2 fitting at the other end of the hose to the 20lb CO2 tank (or larger). The CryoFX DIY CO2 Jet Package has a manual handle, but you can also get upgraded packages that include a Cryogenic Solenoid Valve, which is electrically activated.

  6. Use Teflon Tape: Ensure a tight seal between the hose, fittings, and valve using Teflon tape. Test your completed CryoFX DIY CO2 Jet Package by hooking it up to a tank to check for proper operation and leaks.

  7. Seal the Fittings: Use Teflon tape on the fittings for the hose and CO2 tank fitting joint, but not on the 20lb CO2 tank itself. Ensure that your tank is large enough.

  8. Dispense CO2 in Short Bursts: Make sure you dispense CO2 in short bursts and store away the blasters regularly to ensure safety and avoid leaks.
