I’m wondering about your experience with them:

  • Have they replaced your seltzer/soda buying?
  • How much do you use your equipment?
  • Where do you get your CO_2 refilled and how much does it cost?
  • What flavorings do you use and which are your favorite?
  • What equipment did you buy and do you recommend it?

    I have a sodapop (noname Sodastream) and got it directly hooked up to a 6kg CO2 bottle (with an adaptor hose). Works like a charm and lasts 2 plp for ~6 month. Of you have the space I can highly recommend.

    Some tips regarding filling off a large tank:

    Turn the tank upside down so you get liquid CO2 and open the valve slowly

    Freeze the empty bottles so they don’t vaporize the CO2 as they fill and you can get a full fill

    Weigh the empty bottle and fill to tare + amount on the label or when it warms up it’ll blow the pressure release. Its pants-shittingly startling when they blow the seal and it’s on the passenger seat of the vehicle you’re driving and fills the cabin with CO2 fog.

        You can, then it’s no good for anything else like carbing beer. And I wouldn’t even know any place around here that would do it for you, but maybe that’s more common these days.
