Roam Free. Blast On Command.
The SurgeFX Portable CO₂ Backpack Harness lets you take your cryo effects anywhere. Strap a CO₂ siphon tank to your back, connect a handheld CO₂ gun, and move freely through the crowd — no hoses trailing back to a stationary tank, no limits on where you can deliver the blast.
Built with reinforced straps and a sturdy metal base plate, this harness is designed for the demands of live events. Lightweight at just 3.3 lbs, it supports tanks up to 20 lbs while keeping the load balanced and comfortable during extended use.
- Concert & Festival Performers — Mobile CO₂ effects that move with the artist
- Nightclub Hype Teams — Roam the dance floor blasting cryo into the crowd
- Sports Entertainment — Pump up the crowd with mobile CO₂ blasts
- Mobile DJs & MCs — Add cryo effects without being tethered to equipment
- Event Production Companies — Flexible effects placement for any venue layout
- Theme Parks & Attractions — Interactive performer effects
Key Advantage: True mobility. Instead of running long hoses back to a stationary tank, you carry your CO₂ supply on your back. Move through crowds, across stages, and around venues while delivering cryo blasts on command.
| Feature | What It Means For You |
|---|---|

How It Works: Strap the CO₂ tank to your back with this harness, connect your handheld CO₂ gun via hose, and roam freely while blasting cryo effects on command.
What size tank fits this harness?
The harness is designed for up to 20 lb CO₂ siphon tanks. For mobile use, we recommend 10–20 lb tanks. Larger tanks (50 lb) are too heavy for comfortable mobile use — use those for fixed installations instead.
What's a siphon tube tank?
A siphon tube (or dip tube) tank has an internal tube that draws liquid CO₂ from the bottom of the tank. This is required for handheld CO₂ guns to work properly. Standard CO₂ tanks only release gas, not liquid, and won't produce the cryo effect. When ordering a tank, specify "siphon tube" or "dip tube" — any welding supply or gas distributor will know what you need.
How long does a 20 lb tank last?
Roughly 30–40 seconds of total spray time, used in 2–3 second bursts. Actual time varies based on burst duration and ambient temperature. Cold weather reduces output; warm weather increases it.
Which CO₂ guns work with this backpack?
This harness is designed for use with handheld CO₂ guns like the Frost Blaster Helix and Frost Blaster Glow. You strap the tank to your back, connect a high-pressure hose to your gun, and you're free to roam while delivering cryo blasts.
Is this safe?
CO₂ effects are safe when used properly. Never aim directly at faces at close range — maintain at least 3 meters (10 feet) from the audience in the direction of spray. The CO₂ is extremely cold (-78°C) and can cause frostbite on direct skin contact. Proper training is essential before operating CO₂ equipment.
Where do I get CO₂ tanks refilled?
Welding supply shops, beverage gas distributors, and some fire extinguisher companies refill CO₂ tanks. Specify that you need a siphon tube tank filled with food-grade CO₂.
Tank Type Matters
This harness requires a siphon tube (dip tube) CO₂ tank. The internal tube reaches to the bottom of the tank to draw liquid CO₂ when mounted vertically (valve up). Standard CO₂ tanks without a dip tube only release gas and won't produce the cryo effect.
Before the Event
Test your complete setup (harness + tank + hose + gun) before the event. Check all connections for leaks. Make sure the harness fits comfortably with a full tank — adjust straps as needed.
During Use
Use 2–3 second bursts, not continuous spray. This extends tank life and prevents valve damage from excessive pressure. Allow 5 seconds between bursts when possible.
Weight Management
A 20 lb tank weighs about 40 lbs when full (tank + CO₂). For extended use, consider a 10 lb tank for less fatigue. You can always swap tanks during a break.
Tank Safety
Never open the tank valve until the hose is securely connected to your CO₂ gun. After use, close the tank valve before disconnecting. Store tanks upright in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
Audience Safety
Maintain at least 10 feet (3 meters) between the spray direction and the audience. The cryo effect looks impressive from a distance — there's no need to get close. Never aim at faces.
