Nymox Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 the co2 would build up in the bottles too if you restrict it, would make one hell of a pop I bet....hmmm :gigl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 ah so it essentially gradually cuts off the flow, kind of the same effect as kinking a hose to reduce water flow? right, so don't need it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
