In addition to the 50/100 second times, Element does not freeze. The ColdFire is only good to -20oC in premix. If you have the facility to bulk fill, then the make a -60oC version but that is not reasonable for individual use.I've got an Element E50 in my Jeep.
The Cold Fire extinguisher looks interesting because of its size and price, but I couldn't find any information regarding the discharge time for any of the sizes they offer.
The Element E50 has a discharge time of 50 seconds, that's 4 times longer than a traditional 5 lb fire extinguisher, and the larger Element E100 has a discharge time of 100 seconds.
For me, I plan to get an Element 50 for each car as we are in Northern Alberta and in winter, it gets below -20oC many times over the winter and don't want my investment to freeze. And yes, my vehicles do at times get left out in the cold when we are travelling to the Rocky Mountains...sigh...lol.
