Cryo Jet Special Effects Machine: What the Name Means

A cryo jet is a CO2 jet. Same mounted device, same valve and nozzle, same white plume of CO2 that vanishes in seconds. The industry uses the two names interchangeably, and which one you say mostly depends on which side of the industry you came up in. Production crews and touring veterans say CO2 jet, or cryo heads when they've been on the road long enough. DJs, club owners, and event buyers say cryo jet. CryoFX builds, sells, rents, and installs the equipment under both names, along with every variant: standard stationary units, swing jets, LED jets, moving heads, the quad jet, and custom builds.

 

The word itself is simple. Cryo means cold; jet means it sprays forward. That's also where the company name came from. Kris Mullins wanted a brand that worked like Kleenex: a name that could be trademarked, that named the product category, and that people would say when they meant the thing itself. "Cryo Effects" filled the blank, and CryoFX has been the fill-in-the-blank name in cryogenic effect systems since, longer than anyone else in the industry.

 

The first customers to say cryo jet were the ones who made CryoFX build them. The company started with handheld CO2 cannons sold through thousands of grassroots listings, and within months buyers started asking, do you sell CO2 jets? There was no jet in the line at the time. Customers were asking, so the jets got designed, built, and added, and that product line is what took the brand into the Las Vegas clubs, starting with Studio 54 and running through the mega clubs since.

 

One case where the word deserves a careful ear: cryo means cold, and cold covers more than CO2. A "cryo jet" can also mean a liquid nitrogen head, and CryoFX designs and installs liquid nitrogen effect systems too. LN2 runs at different pressures with different hoses, valves, and safety requirements, and you can never run liquid nitrogen through CO2 equipment. So whenever a client asks for a cryo jet, we confirm which cryogen they mean before anything gets quoted. High pressure liquid CO2 through a siphon tank is the answer 95 times out of 100.

 

Everything else about the device (how it works, the types, tank sizing with siphon tubes, DMX control, rental and purchase pricing, installation, safety, and permits) lives in one place: the CO2 jet and cryo jet complete guide.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cryo jet? A mounted special effects device that fires high pressure liquid CO2 through a valve and nozzle, producing a cold white plume 35 to 50 ft high that dissipates in seconds. It's the same device as a CO2 jet.

 

Is a cryo jet the same as a CO2 jet? Yes. The names are interchangeable. Cryo jet is the consumer and DJ term; CO2 jet and cryo head are the production terms.

 

What does "cryo" mean? Cold. The prefix covers cryogenic gases generally, which is why we always confirm whether a client means CO2 or liquid nitrogen before quoting a system.

 

Does a cryo jet use liquid nitrogen? The standard cryo jet uses liquid CO2 from a siphon tank. Liquid nitrogen effect systems exist and CryoFX installs them, and they're a separate system category with different equipment. The two are never interchangeable.

 

How much does a cryo jet cost? Most CryoFX jets run over $600, with the DMX 512 workhorse at $889 and LED and moving head models from about $1,350 to $4,000. Intro-level Co2 Cannon brand jets run under $600. Rental starts at $185 per jet for a 2-day weekend.

 

Can I rent a cryo jet? Yes. CryoFX rents individual jets and complete systems nationwide, with or without an operator, booked at least 2 to 3 weeks out.
