Done this with 10lb CO2 containers used for brewing and such. Really doesn't take much CO2 to make a good amount of dry ice.

At that point, why not just buy the dry ice directly? It would surely be cheaper...

I see it in supermarkets, often kept by the customer service counter.
I've seen several places requiring ID to purchase dry-ice to avoid youngsters making soda-bottle bombs with it.
