Co2 from Taobao

**Ashnia** · 6th Oct 2015, 13:11

Anyone here who can give me a link to a solenoid 1 liter aluminum tank? I saw this from taobao, but I can't read chinese and I honestly dont know if I could trust Co2 sold from taobao.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I order alot of stuff from TaoBao too... but for such items, better double check the local prices and compare first. If the price from TaoBao + shipping ends up around the same (or just abit cheaper), then might as well just buy locally. At least if anything goes wrong or the item is faulty, you have recourse for replacement or exchange at the local shop.

Agree with UA. That being said, it may be worthwhile to get the UP solenoid which will set you back only about $70 (inclusive of shipping. got 1 recently and costed me total $6

as compared to more than $120 in local LFS. As for the CO2 cylinder, it may be too costly on the shipping charges due to the weight...also considering that they cannot top up CO2 for shipment so you have to pay extra to top up here.

If it cheaper here might as well buy it here because of warranty issues. Anyway shipping time will take as long as 28 days unless you pay extra for Express services.

Yah.. the solenoid is really worth it at just 68. Savings for me 😊
