Refilling CO2 bombs

[chris414]

Is it possible to refill the CO2 bombs that you buy in the shops yourself? or do you just have to buy new ones?

 

 

 

(and no, i dont get a lot of punctures:P I'm using CO2 bombs for a project and need to be able to refill them coz it gets somewhat expensive to buy them new all the time)

 

 

 

Cheers

Sounds like a bad idea to me, what kind of pressure do you need?

 

Blow into one, close hole with press stick and presto. CO2 inside sealed(kinda) canister

more pressure the better;)

cant u buy a large canister of co2?

[Weekend_Warrior]

those bombs are punctured when u insert them into a pump so there is no way you can fill them up again

Then I can't imagine a way to refill them.

 

You'll need a

more-pressure-the-better pump to get the gas into the canister and then some way of sealing the hole properly before the gas escapes. Since you're using them I'm sure you know how quickly they can empty, so all of this is easier said than done.

 

Find a wholesaler who'll give you a discount, even ask around on the hub

 

What you up to by the way?

Pratley is only for super strong lungs

you would probably get the same result from catching a live grenade and trying to put the pin back in

Who ever noticed the "do not puncture cartridge" sign on the bombs?

You can refill them by using a bigger higher pressured Co2 cillinder and a pressure gage, get yourself a Lift regulator Screw it onto the Co2 cannister fill it with the higher pressured cillinder (WATCH THE PRESSURE GAGE) and close the regulator. It will cost you more if you have to have alot but if you want to re-use only 1 it will probably work. Dont try this if you're not afraid it might blow up in your face Mercx2008-09-19 07:57:31

Not to hijack,  but have you ever thrown one of these things in a fire?

Trust me,  if you like blowing things up,  this will cure you very quickly.
