Cornie portable CO2 injector

Post by Andy » Wed Mar 15, 2006 10:48 am

Thinking of making myself a DIY version of one of http://morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=18301 for taking cornies to BBQ's, parties etc etc

Bit easier than lugging a 7lb CO2 cylinder, regulator etc etc around.

Already have the injector unit and mini-cylinders - bike tyre quick inflate system.
Got a barbed CO2 disconnect (Normski) and some CO2 hose so I reckon putting an old bike inner tube valve in the end of the CO2 hose will do the trick. To add some CO2 just fit the handheld injector onto the valve and press the button.

What could possibly go wrong! :D

QUOTE Do co2 sparklet bulbs fit your widget too, I seem to remember they are cheaper than the ones from bike shops?

I think they do, I get a pack of 10 cartridges from an airgun shop for a fiver.

QUOTE so they have already sat on my order for 9 days. I'm not holding my breath

:lol:

Mine are 12g jobbies. Have to be careful buying ones intended for air guns though as some contain a lubricant for the gun internals.

Mine are Walther cartridges just like these:-

but purchased from a local shop.
