680230 2008-06-19 06:34:00 Hey, i was wondering if anyone would know where i would be able to get some dry ice? I would like to try some cool science experiments (makin fog!)=)

I live in Whangarei, so hopefully up here, im not sure if they would ship it...

Thanks ;)

Many times it's cheaper to use it in smaller trucks that make in-town deliveries than to run a refer on the truck.

Sometimes the local ice cream merchants in the smaller push carts here in the US use it too..check it out.

680236 2008-06-19 09:07:00 Don't quote me on this, but I think it is R18 - probably not a legal requirement, but most likely an industry best-practice. Dry ice can be dangerous if not used safely - e.g if someone tries swallowing a piece, for example. somebody (208)
680237 2008-06-19 09:16:00 BOC will sell you dry ice, doesn't say anything about legal age requirements though:

Quoted... Haha, i will most likely get my father to come in , it may look a lil suspect if a 16 year old guy goes in for dry ice lol... :D

We have been doing a whole lot of awesome sh&# with it in science at school and i wana try it here... I have read all of the safety warning things...

I would hate to swallow a block of ice thats -78 degrees lol.:lol:

I also wana get into some "extreme" (XD) overclocking with my old pc ;)

For anyone interested, here is a Pdf about it

Thanks for the info,
