New member with question about making gas chamber

ok--i'll ask him and get him to tell you what you need to know. :)

Where does one get dry ice and can it be chipped apart like regular ice? I would like to buy, kill, and freeze, my own rats so knowing this would be useful. Let me refrase the previous sentance though, it would be more convinient for me to kill my own, I would never like to kill them. I figure I can buy a bunch and kill them enmass, or, if not I can get some dry ice and break off peices and store the rest. Can it be stored? I have no idea how any of that works. I know the chemistry of dry ice but none of the practical elements.

from an ice supplier. u know where they sell ice to ice cream companies. ice cream trucks use dry ice to keep the icecream frozen. so just call ur local ice cream company or whatever and ask where they get it from. i just go cross town. but i only needed it for a science project and the ice was so cheap. i paid 5$ for 2 blocks.

We can get it at the grocery store here, year round (used to just be availablr around Halloween) for $1-2 per pound. You can store it, but not for very long as it will disappear.

Can I leave it in a cooler in the freezer? Will it last longer that way, I mean if it is in an air tight container?

Hi everybody, this is the Fiance'

Ok Shelby, it's a little misleading the way it was written in the dragonsden article. The release valve is actually a part of the remote. In the link that Robert posted
http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/pro...k=yes&dept=170
you can see that the top end of the hose has a knob attached to it. This corresponds to the pin valve on the top of the tank you have. The tank just screws into that end of the remote (the hose). Then when it's screwed all the way in you slowly turn the knob and you will hear the gas move through the hose and fill the container. It's really that easy!

As for the ASA and all that other stuff, you really don't need to worry too much about it. When looking at Robert's link, you can see a black piece on the bottom end of the hose. This is a seperate piece that you probably won't need and can very easly remove (it snaps on and off). The brass part on the end will stay securely mounted to the hose and you can mount this in or on your cooler or whatever container you use as the chamber.

In summary, you just need to buy the remote and a tank (which you have) and a few rodents! Just make sure to seal everything tightly and be careful anytime you remove the tank or the hose. There can be some pressure in the hose still and it may cause the gas to quickly vent (looks like white smoke) and freeze whatever it hits. Hope the novel helped out. :D

BTW: this is exaclty the same thing, just a different material and it's a little cheaper, and I happen to know their service is good.

Thank you thankyou thankyou! That info has been such a pain to get. I should have just come here in the first place.

I'll order that cheaper one.. I see it has the release valve on it too.

I already have the rodents too.. lol too many.. 6 good size rats, and 12 fuzzies growing.
