Refilling small portable gas bottles

[Kevin Breen]

Does anyone refill "sodastream" type CO2 bottles from a larger gas bottle? If they do, how do you do it, what gadgets do you need and what is the cost of the gear involved? Thanks, Kevin

I do this from my kegs on legs 6.5kg cylinder. I purchased a paintball c02 fill station and a paintball cylinder a few years ago. I then invert the bigger cylinder so liquid comes out have the paintball cylinder on The scales and fill it by opening the valves on The filling station. The thing you have to remember is that c02 is filled by weight, so an accurate set of scales is important. I always under fill anyway to be on the safer side.
