Review on ๐Ÿ’จ CO2 Tank Refill Adapter Kit - CGA320 G1/2 Connector for Filling Soda Maker and Sparkling Water Maker Tanks by Kartik Starks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked for my purpose (refilling Sodastream canisters)

Does everything it's supposed to and looks durable enough to last a while. The valve between cartridge and adapter is not hermetic; ie if you screw it all the way in, gas keeps escaping. We thought this was a disadvantage, but it actually turned out to be a feature: it allows the pressure in the cartridge to equalize the pressure in the CO2 cylinder and neutralizes the valve actuation. After equalization, you can continue to inflate with full pressure. It's great: I don't have to deal with all the gibberish that people write about all the time. I spoke to a friend who works as a chemist. He wasn't surprised that the valve was leaking "at this price point". I realized that a lab quality adapter would cost a few hundred dollars. He also told me that closing the valves completely meant that the increased pressure would make movement difficult. Is that so.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
