Customer FAQ Answer: Why Do I Not See The Plume Of White Fog From My Cryo Gun?

Why No Plume Of Fog?  This question just came in from a client in Europe and we thought we would share the answer to educate other CO2 gun users.  CO2 jets and handheld CO2 fog guns are virtually fail proof if you purchase from a reputable company.  If you have installed your CO2 fog system and upon firing it for the first time all you heard was a loud noise and felt a rush of cold air, a couple of things could have happened.  Below are the things to check:
  1. Make Sure The Gas Company Supplied You With A Syphon (Siphon) Tube CO2 Tank
    • Often the CO2 company will confuse the tank to supply you because they are used to supplying nightclubs with regular CO2 gas for soda guns.
    • Your tank should be properly marked with either etching on the side that says (Syphon Tube) or if you use www.Airgas.com the top of the tank will be painted red to signify it is a Syphon tube tank. 
  2. Make Sure Your CO2 Tank Is Not Empty
    • In the gas supply industry they have a margin for error that allows CO2 tanks to be a few pounds heavy, or light.  (Of course for CO2 jet and CO2 handheld blasters, we definitely need it be heavy and not light)
    • One option is to request each tank be weighed before delivery to ensure proper tank weight
    • You might ask how do I know if the tank is empty?  You might notice the tank started out firing a huge dense plume of fog but after a short period of time it only made a loud noise.  This is an idicator that the tank is empty of liquid, but still contains CO2 gas under high pressure.  (It is time to change your tank to a new one)
In closing if you still have questions about your CO2 cryo jet system and would like to speak with a technician directly, please call 404-644-2801 and speak with Atlanta Special FX.  The CO2 Jet Systems manufactured by Atlanta Special FX are found to be one of the most affordable and dependable cryo systems in the world and their staff is very knowledgeable about all types of systems.

Check Out The New CO2 Dewar Tank Adapter Needed For CO2 Jets

CGA-622
 CO2 Dewar tanks make a safety change.
Top of Dewar Tank
If you haven't noticed it yet, you will soon.  The standard fitting for Dewar tanks has been changed to ensure safety for companies like Airgas when filling refrigerated liquid Dewar tanks.  For those who have never seen the top of a Dewar tank there are many gauges and fittings that can be quite confusing to the untrained eye, and especially the CO2 jet novice installer.  Not to be alarmed though because they are usually very well marked.  One outlet is the gas hookup, which most nightclubs and production companies use, and it contains the CGA 320 fitting.  Another valve you may notice on the top of the Dewar tank is the pressure builder.  This valve is used to build the pressure in the tank to max operating psi for CO2 jets.  And the last side is the liquid fill side, which is the side you will want to attach your CO2 hose too.  Over the past many years you have been able to attach a standard CGA 320 fitting directly on to the liquid side and operate your CO2 jet system no problem.  However now you will notice the next time you go to attach your cryo hose that it no longer matches to the liquid side.  The new standard for Dewar tanks is a female attachment coming off the tank, which requires a new adapter.  The new adapter required is the CGA-622, sold by Atlanta Special FX.

How Large Does The Venue Need To Be For CO2 Cryo Jets To Work Effectively?

What Size Venue Can Use CO2 Cryo Jets?
A popular question we get a lot is "Can we use CO2 cryo jets in our intimate club?" The answer is yes.  As we all know, the majority of nightclubs and bars are not superclubs and don't necessarily have 20 foot ceilings or multiple floors.  Instead they are more intimate and cozy.  For this reason a company named Atlanta Special FX designed multiple versions of the popular CO2 cryo foggers.  If you do have the stereotypical superclub with great ceiling height you can of course go with the single nozzle or dual nozzle cryo jet and use any size tank you desire.  For others with smaller venues and lower ceilings we recommend the low pressure single nozzle cryo jet.  This versatile unit can be mounted in a variety of positions and locations and the internal components were specifically designed with smaller venues in mind.  This restricted flow of CO2 makes for a much shorter and quieter fog blast.  (Of course they are still loud enough to get your attention)  So in closing if you have that venue that gets very hot during the course of a night, don't count yourself out.  Instead contact the knowledgeable staff at Atlanta Special FX and let them customize a CO2 system for you.  Check out more info on the low pressure cryo jet at http://www.atlantaspecialfx.com/Fog-Smoke%20Machines.htm

What Is A Handheld CO2 Cryo Gun? Mobile CO2 Fog Gun

Are you a mobile DJ or a nightclub looking to add some WOW factor to your show?  Then you might have asked yourself "What is a handheld cryo gun my buddies are talking about?"  The photo to the left shows one version of the popular CO2 blaster known as the handheld cryo gun manufactured by Atlanta Special FX.  Cryo gun foggers have hit the scene hard and add stunning visual effects to otherwise standard DJ sets or club playlists.  This portable cryo blaster has been used by some of the BIGGEST names in the business.  You might have seen the Atlanta Special FX cryo gun at a Steve Aoki, LMFAO, Kesha, or other concert and wondered "What was that" This "cool" fog effect is also used weekly during NCAA college football, NBA, NFL and NHL as well as countless high schools and colleges across the nation.  Another great place to see this effect in action is at your local super club or bar.  The super cold CO2 fog is especially helpful in cooling down venues once a lot of guest fill the room.  Most nightclubs and bars just simply don't have the HVAC cooling systems strong enough to keep up with the rising heat generated by hundreds of dancing guests.  All it takes is a few second blast to cool the dance floor approximately 10-20 degrees.  For more information on the Handheld Cryo Gun click here http://www.atlantaspecialfx.com/Fog-Smoke%20Machines.htm or visit the FAQ page at http://www.atlantaspecialfx.com/Cryo_Jet_CO2_FAQs.pdf

How To Install A CO2 Cryo Jet by Atlanta Special FX

If you have never installed a CO2 cryo jet system it may seem like a daunting task.  After you read through this short paragraph you will know all the ins and outs of installing your own CO2 cryo system with either high pressure tanks or low pressure Dewar tanks.  All the pros in the special effects world understand it doesn't take years of experience to install the CO2 cryo jets manufactured by Atlanta Special FX.  These cryo blasters are engineered to save you time and money.  They can be mounted in a variety of positions allowing for easy setup in all types of venues. 

If you notice on the photo to the left the lower, and back, mounting plates are designed to use screws for mounting to the floor, wall, and ceiling.  The multi mounting points allow the CO2 units to be installed right side up, lefts side, right side and upside down.  It also includes a pre drilled hole for easy mounting to a truss system using a J-clamp or C-clamp.  Once you have decided on your mounting the next thing to do is consider the location of your tanks in relation to your cryo nozzles.  Ideally you will want to keep your tanks as close to the CO2 jets as possible and always use tested and approved cryo hosing.  With that in mind, here are some general guidelines (NOT REQUIREMENTS) you will want to follow with your hose lengths:

  1. Do your best to stay at 50-70 feet or less from your tanks when using low pressure Dewar tanks. (Closer is better)
  2. Try to keep a direct line between your cryo jets and your tanks.  (The less 90 degree turns the better)
  3. When using high pressure tanks you can use longer hoses (But if the CO2 sets in the hoses for extended periods of time between shots you will experience the noise before the white fog comes out)
  4. It is optional to use T fittings and attach multiple jets to a single hose.
Now that you have decided the location of tanks and the location of cryo jets, you will need to distinguish between the cryo hose ends to determine which hooks to which.  The brass end is a standard CO2 fitting and attaches to the liquid CO2 bottle and the silver end attaches to the cryo jet.  Once you have attached your hoses you will now need to determine how you will power the jets on and off.  Most industry professionals use a 4 channel DMX dimmer / switch kit. (Sold Separately).  Others use items such as foot switches, push button firing systems, and even as manual as a surge protector.  The cryo jets only need a simple on off signal.  When the jet is on, CO2 plumes of fog will shoot from the nozzle and when they are off there will be no noise or fog.  The last things you will want to do are test fire the jets, without the gas on, listening for the clicking on/off sound.  Once you have tested the on/off it is time open your CO2 bottle.  Be sure the cryo unit is off, open the valve on top of the CO2 bottle all the way and the line will pressurize.  It is always good practice to leave the bottle closed until just before you need the effect.  This will ensure a nice, instant plume of fog when you power the CO2 fogger on.

CO2 fog is a great way to entertain your guests as well as provide stunning visual and audible effects while cooling the room down.  This is why CO2 foggers are a popular item for any nightclub venue.

We hope this article has shed a little light on your CO2 jet purchase.   If you have questions or comments, a professional technician is always standing by to assist you.
