Chillistick Dry Ice Loader

Loader For Shotglass & Chillisticks

The Chillistick Dry Ice Loader is a practical accessory designed for transferring dry ice into compatible Chillistick and Ice Breaker Shotglass products. Ideal for cocktail bars, restaurants and event catering, this purpose-designed loading tool helps make the preparation of dramatic dry ice presentations more controlled and convenient.

Dry ice is often used to create impressive mist and fog effects in cocktail presentations, adding a theatrical finishing touch to drinks and special events. The Chillistick Loader is designed to help transfer dry ice into the designated compartments of compatible presentation equipment, reducing the need to handle the dry ice directly.

The loader features a tube-shaped outlet that fits into the safety valve of an Ice Breaker Shotglass or the opening of a compatible Chillistick. Its straightforward design makes it useful for preparing multiple presentations during busy bar service, particularly when consistency and careful handling are important.

Secure the device correctly before incorporating it into a cocktail presentation to create an eye-catching mist effect.
• Loading Ice Breaker Shotglasses: Insert the loader's tube through the designated safety valve of a compatible Ice Breaker Shotglass to transfer dry ice into its containment compartment. Follow the product's operating instructions before presenting the finished shot.

It can help make the loading process more consistent when preparing multiple compatible presentation devices.

How does the Chillistick Dry Ice Loader work?

The loader is designed to transfer dry ice into compatible containment devices. For an Ice Breaker Shotglass, the tube end is inserted through the designated safety valve. For a Chillistick, the tube is inserted into the opening up to its lip before transferring the dry ice. Always follow the instructions supplied with the compatible equipment.

Can I use the Chillistick Dry Ice Loader to put dry ice directly into drinks?

No. The loader is intended for transferring dry ice into suitable containment equipment, not for adding loose dry ice directly to drinks. Dry ice is extremely cold and can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed. Any cocktail presentation must prevent guests from coming into contact with or ingesting solid dry ice.

Do I still need protective equipment when using a dry ice loader?

Yes. Although the loader helps reduce direct handling, dry ice can cause severe cold burns and frostbite on contact with skin. Appropriate cryogenic protective gloves and eye protection should be used when handling dry ice. Work in a well-ventilated area, as dry ice releases carbon dioxide gas as it sublimates. Never place dry ice in an airtight container.
