Ira Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 No reason it shouldn't, with the appropriate fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 yeah i looked in to that couple of years ago but the head size is just too far off and i couldn't source any adaptors to make it work, i didn't know about those regs they sell on toolsonline then so they might work. have some CO2 equipment spare if ur keen, give me a PM.

camnbron Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Cheaper to get a Sodastream Bottle. I paid $30 for a 885gram Sodastream bottle brand new from Noel leemings. Just wandered in, asked if they had replacement CO2 bottle and how much they were. Not sure if they were supposed to sell it to me as it states on it "NOT FOR SALE" on the back. The drama that everybody that has gone the soda stream way seems to have is "How do I get that darn CO2 from my bottle to my diffuser?" The thread on the bottle is 1/2 Inch BSP - a very common pipe thread. I got one of my friends to make me a little adapter by butchering an old 1/2 Inch BSP needle valve and welding a 1/4 Inch BSP Reducer on the side. This allowed me to attach my Regulator and needle valve after it. I have been told that you can get a similar adapter from the USA for around $60NZ as per Picture Aaaarrgh!! This is the best I can get the picture! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Those small bottles dont last very long though. If you want a good setup you can get going with about $200. I got a tunze regulator and needle valve off Reef for $80, second hand, but i think he had a new one aswell. maybe try getting hold of him.... The bottle, i got mine from boc. D sized bottle for a little over $10 a month. not too bad i thought. Bottle will last for ages too :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 either rent a bigger bottle or buy a bigger bottle IMO, most gas places charge 10-15$ as a minimum charge to refill a small bottle. I have a 2kg on for sale as well for 170$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
