where to buy CO2 cartridges?

Well, I've loved the bejeezus out of my new soda siphon. (What an awesome, easy way for a soda
junkie like me to get in 1 liter of water!) My 10 pack of cartridges disappeared in no time. Aside
from cooking stores, where else can one get replacement cartridges? I will, eventually, get back
around to a cooking store, but there must be someplace more convenient?

I tried my local supermarket, and they don't carry them (not even at the customer service counter).
I'm the Boston area, if that helps anyone.

Thanks in advance, Jen Half the people you know are below average. -Steven Wright

I use a 10# CO2 tank and regulator. A 20# tank is even cheaper because it costs about the same to
refill it.

You might want to check this out, but the gas might not be food-grade:

Try a restaurant or bar supply store.

I'm not sure, but if you have a local brewery supply place, they often have bottled CO2 in large
cannisters (ie 5 lb, 10 lb). Welding supply has it, too, but I'm not sure if it's food safe. (Lots
of aquarists use welding CO2 cannisters to fertilize their planted tanks, and the fish and plants
are fine!)

Bar supply store. Or ask at your local bar or soda shop.

Uh, prolly a good suggestion, but that is not food grade...

Yep. They can be pretty oily inside. The only place to get food grade cartridges is at a cooking
store (or online). Restaurant supply store, Williams Sonoma (behind the counter), some gourmet food
stores (they sell them here in Austin at Central Market grocery stores).

Yes, dear. I see that. I also pointed out they were available on-line, did I not? Regardless, it
sure sounded like he was asking for local stores.

If he can find them that cheap..... :)

I just rilly like that dealer, and have been unable to find gas charges for either my seltzer bottle
or my cream whipper locally. Doug does free shipping for decent orders making it as low as going
down the street. <G>

Planet K quit carrying them. :p

Planet K still sells the NO2. Or at least they did 5 weeks ago at the Rundberg location. $16/24.

Rundberg? :) Ok, I had tried the Lamar location, and one of the ones in San Antonio as well... They
said that carrying "whippets" was a bad thing, so the chain stopped.

'sides, creamright carries N2O for less tha $10.00 per box if you buy a case... <G>

Problem is, it takes a lot of creativity to figure out what to do with that much whipping
cream...... ;-D

NO2 is for those whipping cream canisters. They do not work in spritzer bottles.

Huh? They sell crack pipes + brillo, bongs, scales, and substances specifically for cutting cocaine
and speed. Not to mention the dildos which are illegal in Texas, unless they're for "educational
purposes". NO2 is probably their most legitimate (not for illegal purposes) item they sell.

>creamright carries N2O for less tha $10.00 per box if you buy a case... <G>

Case is what ...24 X 24 = 288? You might as well just order a big bottle (and a few masks) from the
dental supply company :)

We know this. :) We were just discussing gas charges in general... Planet K never did sell Co2

The subject had changed to NO2 at this point as Planet K would have no use selling O2.

NO2 canisters work just fine in soda bottles. Depends on what your ultimate purpose is, though.
