Yeti Ice vs Regular Ice - Which Works Better?

[@buffalobmf]

You didnt have to dump the blue liquid. You could of put it in a cup then put it back in and closed it up after the test

[@dougieV23]

I came here to say the same thing. Giant waste of money ha

Heard great things about INTCO, and I’m not disappointed! I’ll be checking out more of their products.

I can’t believe you didn’t put that lovely fluid into another glass that you could transfer it back into the yeti later

[@cameronbateau6510]

What can you transfer into the yeti?

[@bradgrand79]

@@cameronbateau6510 he did not transfer the fluid back into the ice pack and plug it

You could have poured the blue stuff in a container and reused it after. then again hindsight is 20/20.

I have a couple of yeti packs. I have noticed that on the yeti cooler these work great to slow down the melting rate of ice inside the cooler if you lay them at the bottom, load up your drinks, and top with regular ice. Without the ice pack at the bottom my ice melts considerably faster. The packs are no substitute for ice and its property to effectively surround your drinks and increase surface area of contact between ice and the containers to efficiently transfer their heat away from them.

[@AlecBaldwin5816]

thanks for the info, I took note. I was wondering if these packs were useful at all. 😄

[@OGRH]

@@AlecBaldwin5816 indeed they are... They are there for you to pay more for an extra 2 inches of cold insulation! While also giving you the freedom to remove that and have more space.

[@InfamousMS]

Thanks for the video. Keep in mind, your just testing the difference in the Yeti liquid versus water. The Yeti ice block versus regular ice is a totally different comparison!

[@InfamousMS]

*you’re 😊

[@tristencochran3374]

This is not a substitute for regular ice It a meant to make regular ice last longer

[@ShinerBockGirlz]

@@InfamousMS You're. :-) Punctuation is key!

[@colehansen178]

Yeti ice isn’t meant to be a standalone ice pack. You are supposed to put it on the bottom of your cooler with ice on top of it. It will keep your ice frozen longer

[@zonedout5998]

That is correct.

[@georgeayala5864]

He also messed up the experiment by completely changing the environmental exposer from outdoors to indoors

[@RonixOne32]

That’s not how you’re supposed to use the yeti ice packs. I have one and you’re suppose to put them at the bottom of the cooler and ice on top. As the ice melts into water the yeti packs, because it freezes at a lower rate it refreezes the ice water around the yeti ice pack. Things work better when used the way their designed to be used. Enjoy!

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

The phase change point of the yeti ice 🧊 is higher than regular ice so it melts removing heat from regular ice before it melts it’s advantageous to extend regular ice

[@bustaruckus5611]

Wouldn't the total capacity temperature transfer between the 2 of them be the same overall in the long run but just with different times of when they froze and melted? This seems like a slight of hand trick just due to phase duration.

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

@@bustaruckus5611 Ultimately pure water would hold more energy than salt water the advantage of the Yeti bricks is a lower phase change. So if you have something like frozen steak 🥩it would defrost in regular ice 🧊before the ice melts

[@ronc127]

There is a youtube video on making ice packs with PVC pipe, they just use salt water in the pipes.

[@loridyson569]

I'm sorry but why didn't you drain the blue stuff into a container to save it so you could refill the Yeti ice pack?

[@crabtrap]

you can get a better effect adding salt to reg ice....it does the same as yeti but better. it expends its thermal energy faster which means it gets colder. salt water in a water bottle is the best and cheapest

[@huntingwaterfalls]

Agreed adding salt to water and freezing it will give basically the same effect or maybe even better if you use enough salt. It’s not that it expends its thermal energy faster though. It’s got to do with the melting point and the process when your ice pack is partially frozen. I wrote a full article on the science behind it huntingwaterfalls.com/why-does-salt-make-ice-colder/

[@crabtrap]

@@huntingwaterfalls it has to do with salt increasing thermal conductivity. Similiar to adding salt to water with an electical current. Energy needs to go somewhere so in high conductivity it expends faster. I just wrote a paper on it in youtube comments. Youre welcolm.

[@ceceyangg]

Would the yeti last an 11hr trip inside a cooler bag? Looking to bring cooked food back from hawaii to the mainland... lol

[@tristencochran3374]

If you use these with ice the ice will bond to to yeti ice and ice melt will refreeze around it and turn it into a ice block

[@Tauntaun707]

The yeti ice has a lower melting point than water does. This means that it will remain at that lower temperature until all of it is melted.

[@devinshook3289]

Good point. Latent heat of fusion

[@hanzohattorri2471]

Can u do a video with the frozen yeti pack inside the yeti cooler with ice and see how long it last in a couple of days if the yeti pack stays frozen since the ice would be melting if it keeps the inside of the yeti cooler cold vs using a regular ice pack with ice. The purposes would be to help if it’s worth to extend the inside of your yeti or whatever hard cooler you have

[@k956upg]

You are supposed to put the yeti ice under ice so when the top ice melts in the cooler it hits the yeti ice & re freezes creating a second ice block so it lasts longer..it’s not meant to be just a block to replace ice

[@sassall4284]

Why didn’t u save the blue water

[@k.tanaka1866]

Long story short, it doesn't make a difference. Just freeze water bottles to be used as ice and water for later. Save space and money in your cooler freezing a couple of water bottles

[@geofferysharp6659]

Out of all the videos I have watched, this is the most accurate comparison of an ice pack that I have seen, well done.

I strongly suspect Yeti Ice is just saltwater with a blue food coloring.

[@4wheelliving132]

or water with just a little bit of anti-freeze in it to bring the freezing temperature down

@@4wheelliving132 Antifreeze isn't food safe, despite what some dodgy winemakers thought ;). Although they might just mean the plastic container is food safe.

[@عامرفهد-ن4ت]

Hello, if you don't use it, can it be kept at room temperature?

[@jakestevens7283]

As far as I'm concerned I would choose the Yeti pack just for the convenience of dealing with a pack instead of melty ice

[@crabtrap]

freeze saltwater in a aquafina bottle. works much better

[@drdrew3]

You are supposed use both loose ice and Yeti pack TOGETHER for the intended effect. The Yeti isn’t designed to be used alone - it’s for extending the life of the loose stuff. The test he did had zero bearing on how it performs when used properly

[@FlowersForYou629]

What's with the little brushed dc motor and JST connector on the window seal?

[@enjoying_life49]

Since the Yeti was cooler initially, it may have had more cooling power. To find out how much cooling power each has, put them each in a liter of water and then see how the water does over the test period.

[@responsibleice6774]

Hi there, I know it's been about a few months since this video, but have you heard of Responsible Ice? 10 pound Ice packs that use plain water instead of chemicals? Great website too!

[@jbravo70]

Wow! I was expecting the yeti ice to be a solid much longer than water. I’m debating buying the 2-4lb packs I need for my Tundra Haul at $30/each.

[@lychanking]

Stop paying attention to yeti bullshit. Those same blocks cost upwards of ten dollars. Right beside them are blocks that work just as well for a tenth of the price(typically 1 to 2 dollars). The biggest of which usually go for at most 3 dollars. All yeti products are way overpriced when you can get similar products for far less. Cups? Usually can get BRANDED ones for ten to twenty dollars less(store brand even less), blocks, and hell even their coolers can be found cheaper(albeit not that much cheaper in that regard).

[@thecollinzboy]

honestly you couldve poured the blue yeti liquid into a container and store the container during the video and after youre done making the video you couldve poured out the water in the yeti ice pack and pour back in the blue liquid so you dont waste the ice pack instead of dumping the blue liquid down the drain

[@beeRADify]

[@dannyumana143]

Liquid expands when frozen. Air gives it space to expand in tube

[@standodge5536]

You should have time lapsed by hour I think setting up a nice clock and letting the test run would have been better than you changing the environments of the ice blocks from outside to inside.

[@nyccolm]

The proper thing to do is to use them WITH ice, and they radically lengthen the time your ice lasts.

[@enjoying_life49]

As does a frozen bottle of water, which is much cheaper, and you can drink them as the ice melts.

It seems like all the negative reviews of Yeti Ice, the people miss the obvious point that the Yeti Ice is NOT a standalone ice! It is NOT meant to replace regular ice but to supplement it! As Yeti so clearly states. It seems that everyone that uses it correctly has positive reviews of it.
