    I just found out that the solenoid gauge on the Co2 tank has gone down to 900psi. I guess it's time for an exchange soon.

    What's the common practice? Do I use up to a certain psi value first or do I replace it now?

    I won't be able to drop by NA until next week will that be OK?

    Let it drop to zero then change. You'll find that even at zero, it'll still give a decent BPS. When mine starts dropping, it takes about a week to get to zero. I run a 5 litre cylinder at a very high BPS.

    On the other hand, if you're using a single stage regulator (all the ones I've seen in SG are single stage), you might experience End of Tank Dump (Google for details please)... Which admittedly I have only read about in overseas forums but haven't read any in SG.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
