    I was thinking a paintball tank at first, but thought about portability and thought the small cartridges(single range session) would work out pretty well. Not sure about how much pressure a scuba tank holds? or if there would be any integrity issues. (not a diver). But yeah the vortex cooler would be a similar premise.

    Two sizes scuba tankes.

    71 CF: Run 2450 psi as I recall.

    80: 3000 psi (I had one, dive guy hated me, but I always had more air than everyone else.

    It all gets reduced down to workable via the regulator.

    There are adaptors for air rifles, that's a huge amount of pressure so you need right stuff.

    Both air and CO because of the venture affect create cold (velocity increase, pressure decrease, temp drops) so they would cool better than straight air. Old carbs use to ice up because of that (and aircraft have a heat diverter to clear it out and or stop it)
