Could you use a soda stream bottle as an air source? I have not been able to find anything of value by Google. What kind of fittings do you need?

What are the 'standard regulators' for co2 usually used in spudding? I was thinking of using a paintball cylinder as an air source but I don't know what regulators to use. Can some kind person provide a link?

Well, there are two ways of using sodastreams as an airsours:
1: get a fitting that converts sodastream threads into normal threads and get a normal co2 reg.
2:get a paintball or sodastream reg.

Are paintball and soda stream regulators the same? Thanks for the help, I think I will get a normal regulator like the one in the link. I will have to shop around though.

Get the red in the link. That is a super good price. You can also try Ebay. There are some on there for $40.

Ebay is cheap but they don't ship to South Africa. How much would shipping cost for something like that anyway?
