Hi Family,
While the results are far from conclusive (3 CHs aborted faster than normal) I've decided to go public with my chilled O2 setup. I went to Home Depot and bought 20 feet of 3/8 plastic tubing (plumbing section). I coiled this into a two quart insulated plastic water jug and carefully filled the jug with water, making sure no water got into the tubing. This was placed in the freezer with the ends sticking out several inches. Once frozen, I cut the 1/4 tubing on my O2 setup in the middle and inserted the two ends into the 3/8. The fit was loose but two wraps of Scotch tape took care of that. To date I have aborted 3 7 scale CHs, two in less than 5 minutes and the third in less than ten where it usually take fifteen to twenty minutes if it worked at all. But I've already saved the cost of the tubing and water jug in lower O2 consumption and would love to hear from any/all who try it. Good luck to all.
Support OUCH, zeroes for all.
