Hey guys,

Just a word of advice Ive discovered along my way to make a portable co2 set up.

Not all the 16 grm Co2 bulbs on the market are the same.
I recently bought a Leland type mini co2 reg from an ebay supplier. This reg came through and seems good quality but I can't compare to the genuine one which is about $70 more.
It still cost me about $95 delivered and seems to hold abit more accuracy than the cheaper ones Ive used.
I only used it last week and over the weekend with the keg king co2 threaded bulbs which seem to work good.

I ordered a 30 box of 16 grm threaded food grade co2 bulbs from Ezy whip on ebay for $30 bucks. They arrived today but don't work as these bulbs as you can see from the photo are about 2-3 threads shorter than the keg king ones and so they don't screw up enough to activate the piercing needle.

Oh , well, back to just buying dearer bulbs from the local shop. lol.

Just make sure the bulbs you buy are long enough thread.

Got a box of miniature rockets now to shoot off :)

These do work with the mini regs, just make sure only 1 seal under the adapter.
