Title: Cold Air Delivery Systems/Apparatus
Post by mcashes on Mar 6^th, 2008, 8:16am

I know this must have been discussed here previously, but I haven't been able to find the threads. I'm looking to find information on the types of cold air delivery systems some of you folks are using. I learned of this abortive technique here in the last few days (I'm a newbie, and blessed to have found you) and I know it works for me, but my head just doesn't fit in the freezer too well. Just point me to the previous posts, thanks!

As we would say in North Carolina: "Ain't never done seen 'em."

Your car's airconditioner is a good alternative.
I use the freezer in a pinch
Living in the Northeast I have a ready supply of cold air out on the deck. Good pacing room too ;)

Once you get O2 a world of possibilities opens up.

coil the hose in a tub of ice and water
Ice in the bubbler
Putting the tank outside in the cold air. You leave the valve open and use a shut off inside

These are the solutions I've used and heard of. I'm sure others have tricks too.

Nothing will cool your head faster than one or two of those "blue goo" ice packs you keep in the freezer. I'm pretty sure you can get them at just about any drugstore. Also, chiropractors usually sell them in their office.

Cold air is good, but surface-to-surface contact with an ice pack that is below freezing is the best.
