    Hi,

    saw in a LFS today a very small & cool set-up of CO2 system for those small tanks. It comes in a box with a small silver (aluminium) tank of CO2, plastic bubble counter, CO2 atomizer, etc... The owner said the tank can last about 1 to 1.5 months depending on usage. Refills comes in the forms of cartridges... [Sigh! Should have taken a picture of it... ]

    Find that it is very compact & cute & should be easy to 'hide' as compared to those huge CO2 tanks... Anyone who is currently using (or had used) it, please comment on the Pros & Cons. Does anyone knows roughly how much does each set cost & where can I get it from at the most reasonable price? Thanks in advance!!

    Pros:
    1. Small and easy to hide
    2. May even impress and attract attention from others

    Cons:
    1. Have to refill regularly
    2. May not be cost effective

    i saw a set at NA over lunch. brand is UP. it's a 350ml cartridge of CO2. if my 5li co2 canister lasts me ~6 months @ 4-4.5bps, one cartridge would last about 1.5 to 2 months @ 1bps. definitely not worth it when comparing with a large canister, but if space is a premium, it may be worth it.

    agree, having to spend $15x6 vs $15 only per year, i chose the later, guess im more practical than stylish.

    sorry, somehow i misread the cartrigues as cylinders . I am not sure where to get these refills. Besides ada, i have seen arista ones. They come in a form spray can.
