Cream Deluxe cream chargers & cylinders

The widest range we carry, and how to choose within it

Cream Deluxe is the only brand here that spans four distinct editions across two formats, which is a strength and a source of confusion in equal measure. The short version: the Gold is the everyday workhorse, Sixth Wave is the flavour range, Black Cobra is the limited edition with a little more gas, and Midnight adds a silent nozzle. All are 99.9% food-grade N₂O and all are sold for lawful culinary use only.

640g and 666g cylinders

• Cream Deluxe Gold 640g — about 80 charges. The value end of the range and one of our lowest single-cylinder prices.
• Sixth Wave 666g — about 84 charges, and the widest flavour choice we stock.
• Midnight Edition 666g — about 84 charges, with a silent nozzle. Worth it in a small open kitchen where the hiss carries.
• Black Cobra 666g — about 84 charges, limited edition.

The 666g editions carry roughly 4% more gas than a standard 640g. That is a real difference but a small one — pick on flavour and nozzle, not on the 26 grams.

The 2kg Maxxi tanks, and when they actually pay

Cream Deluxe makes two 2kg tanks, Black Cobra Maxxi and Sixth Wave Maxxi, each around 250 charges.

Here is the part most shops do not tell you. On our own current prices, a 666g Cream Deluxe cylinder works out at roughly 6.0¢ per gram of N₂O. The 2kg Maxxi works out at roughly 3.9¢ per gram. That is about 35% less for the same gas. If you are getting through more than two or three cylinders a month, the tank has already paid for itself; if you whip occasionally, the cylinder is the right buy and the tank is dead money sitting in your store cupboard.

Flavoured or unflavoured?

Sixth Wave carries the flavour in the gas, so it arrives with the charge rather than being stirred in. It gives a cleaner finish on desserts and adds no extra liquid to your cream. The trade-off is that a flavoured unit commits the whole cylinder or tank to one flavour — so if you switch flavours mid-service, run unflavoured and infuse separately.

Culinary use only

We sell food-grade nitrous oxide for whipping cream, foams, espumas and rapid infusions. We do not sell it for inhalation, and every order requires confirmation that the buyer is 18 or over and purchasing for lawful food preparation. Our full position is on the legal and compliance page, and when a cylinder is empty please see our disposal and recycling guide — these are steel pressure vessels and must not go in the blue bin.
