45 Leland (bulk) 8 Gram CO2 Soda Seltzer Chargers

Bought these in preparation for gathering equipment for a week long ride, and stashed them in our bags already. Kit comes with all that is needed for tire repair, minus levers to remove the tube. I haven't yet use the patch kit, but have twice already used the inflater after replacing the tube. The use was surprisingly easy, and worked very well at inflating the tire. Something I did not know was that you should followup with a regular pump inflation, as the co2 will leak from your tires quicker than regular air.

As other reviews have pointed out, these cartridges are a shade too short to work in the handheld soda infusers (e.g. iSoda handheld). I hadn't read the reviews ahead of time, and wish I had as I would not have made this purchase. Another reviewer suggested using a faucet washer as a shim, and others have recommended such things as a thick rubber band, a dime, folded up tinfoil, etc... Anything that can be placed on top of the cartridge to make up the difference to ensure the pin pierces the cartridge. So will give some of these a try, otherwise the entire box is of no value to me.

Do you ever feel nostalgic? I know I do. In fact, one day while I was feeling a bit nostalgic I went out and bought an antique soda siphon at an estate sale. "Maybe it still works", I naively said to myself. Well, when I got home, I found out that it leaked from at least three places, each of which corresponded to a point on the siphon head where a rotted, 80 year-old rubber gasket was. At least it had the charge holder, which was pretty lucky, as I was to find out soon. So I ended up shipping my siphon ( a handsome old Sparklets New York) to some guys in Munich who are, apparently, the only guys on the planet who fix these things. Months later, when it finally came back, all shiny and functioning, all I needed to test it out was some CO2 chargers. Fortunately, I was ready, since I had planned ahead by looking on Amazon for the highest rated, lowest cost per unit CO2 chargers I could find, which turned out to be Leland "Mr. Fizz" seltzer chargers. They work just as they should, charging my old soda siphon with gas so that my family and I can enjoy lightly carbonated beverages, like soda water, gin and tonic, Campari and soda, etc.

These work perfeclty in my iSI 2248 Soda Siphon (found here on Amazon). I have less than ten left and will be ordering more soon, likely 100 this time. I have not had one bad cartridge. I've been making my own sodas using this with water from my filtered water pitcher and everyone enjoys them.The best part for me is that they are recyclable stainless steel and a local recycling center will accept them for money. If you don't have a recycling center that accepts these they won't take up too much space in the trash. The box (10 cartridges each) is maybe 3 inches long, at most. So, they have a small landfill footprint.I should also caution that the estimated shipping shown is far higher than the actuall shipping cost for my area, so keep that in mind if the shipping costs make you consider not ordering them. Buying in bulk, even with shipping costs, makes these far cheaper than the ones avialable with free shipping, as all the ones like that I have found are only sold in single 10 unit boxes that wind up costing almost twice as much per cartridge. And none of those specifically state that they work with my siphon.

I ordered these because of the unit price but have found that many of the chargers do not appear to be CO2 chargers. The water comes out of the siphon under pressure but the water has no CO2. Makes me wonder what the chargers cointain? There is no label on the charger itself. Could they be Nitrous Oxide chargers for making cream?? I thought the issue could be with my iSi siphons so I replaced them - still have the same issue

Bought these to use with Isi's Twist 'n Sparkle. The cartridges are slightly smaller than the ISI brand ones, and probably, as they are smaller, contain less C02, but it's not appreciably noticeable in the end product. I use a little piece of felt to place on top of the cartridge while it's in the "injector" and haven't had any problem yet. And they're so much cheaper than ISI's cartridges to boot.

I bought these seltzer chargers to use with my iSi Twist and Sparkle Carbonator. When I first tried them, the bottle wouldn't hold the co2 and it leaked into the air. I sent in a request to return the items and explained to the seller that they didn't work with the iSi. The seller responded almost immediately with a return address and a valuable tip! They said that iSi makes their chargers slightly larger (so people like me can only buy their products) and that some users were able to get the cartridges to work acceptably by adding a small spacer under the bottom of the cartridge. I took their advice and it worked!! I will no longer be returning the chargers and contrary to common belief they DO work with the iSi.

Some might say it is a real gas when you own 45 8 gram cartridges of CO2. Of course ALGORE would be horrified, but what the hellQ!
