Anyone try Calcium chloride hexahydrate & ice for recovery?

So I’ve been trying to cut out dry ice which is hard if you’re on a budget. So I read into Calcium chloride hexahydrate and regular store bought ice and how it supposedly can get to -40c…

Has anyone tried it for recovery? Any success stories or failure stories?

So I’ve tried it and when mixing the calcium chloride with water it got so hot that when I added my ice it melted it all. So maybe it would need to be mixed with the water left for a while to cool off turn maybe add the ice.
