First things first – FAQS and things to remember
This may go without saying, but we highly recommend reading the user manual that you have received with your Club Cannon MKII Handheld C02 Gun. Once reading the manual, you’ll have some basic questions that you’ll want answers to like “Where can I get C02?”, or “How long will a tank last?”. Let’s go over the basics so you can grasp how simple it is to operate and make money with your Club Cannon MKII Handheld C02 gun.
So what are some basic points to remember?
- A Siphon C02 tank is required for your Club Cannon product to create the desired effect.
- Once the fog starts to appear thin, your tank is depleted of liquid. It is now time to get a refill.
- CO2 can be purchased from any local gas or welding supplier.
- The C02 will shoot 20-25 foot plumes, 2-3 feet wide.
- C02 is designed to be safe and can come in contact with people, though you should stay away from hitting people in the face (Seems obvious right?).
- You can achieve approximately 1 second of use for each pound of your tank’s capacity.
- The C02 effect will always work best in humid conditions.
- A green washer between the hose and gun connection is required so make sure to always have one in, and keep the spares handy as they can get easily lost or fall out.
- A hose may not last forever, so keep in mind that you may need to replace it after heavy use (You can purchase a hose by itself at DJSupplystore.com)
- The gun actually has a safety, we recommend keeping it on when not in use as guests may get crazy and decide to use it when you’re preoccupied.
So where exactly can you get C02?
There are 3 national companies that many in the event professional industry use and they are MATHESON, LINDE, and AIRGAS. These are full-service companies and each has many different pickup or delivery options to help with the logistics of this process. Bringing the tank to the event is probably the most disruptive part of using C02 at events, so we feel finding a full-service company to save you time is valuable.

What is a Siphon C02 Tank and why do you need one?
A Siphon tank is required for your Club Cannon product to create the desired effect. We recommend using a 20LB or 50LB siphon CO2 tank. Liquid CO2 is the key to creating large plumes of fog. Gaseous CO2, which is what comes from a non-siphon CO2 tank, will not create the desired fog effect. The siphon tube feeds the Club Cannon product liquid from the bottom of the tank, while a standard CO2 tank draws gas from the top of the tank (see illustration).
