there is no activator - you need a regulator on the end.

basically all it does is changes the thread from Soda Stream thread to the thread on a regulator.

EDIT.... DUH, what Pok said below... too early in the morning for me to be giving advice... :wacko:

There is a little pin on the inside that depresses a pin on the soda-stream cannister...its in the centre of the threaded section. As you screw the adapter on the pin is depressed allowing the CO2 out of the bottle.

I hope this makes sense.

Yeah that's basically it. If he's trying to recreate one without actually buying one first it's gunna be hard, even with good pics.

You basically just screw the cannister in as quick as possible. There's a point where it starts to engage and gas escapes but you have to keep screwing until you hear the gas stop.

Obviously have to put the reg to zero before hand and connect the reg side up first.

I don't know of a way to hook it up without a little bit of gas escaping.

Info on how to make one here.

****** Special Note ********

Aus C02 bottles are not BSP thread, you must use the correct thread form. (can't remember what it is though)

remenber, high pressure gas is dangerous. I take no responsibility for injury

Check the thread form on you soda stream bottle, I know full size co2 bottles are not 3/8" bsp
