Small Co2 cartridges?
 

All,
I blew a ligament in my knee, and have now had a lot more time to surf the internet. I found in a few places people selling these little Co2 cartridges for aquariums, but how in the heck are they used? I haven't seen anything that they mount into, or anything for that matter. I like the idea of having a clean, unseen system and therefore it appeals to me. I don't mind swapping out little cartridges on a regular basis and am therefore okay with that tradeoff. Any idea how folks use these little cartridges (like the ones used for pellet pistols)? Thanks,
Rob

If you use any form of pressurized CO2 you need a regulator and needle valve. Those cartridges eliminate the big CO2 cylinder, but they don't eliminate the rest of the pressurized CO2 system.

LCL with a nerve pinched in the jointline where the miniscus is hanging out the side since the knee totally slid out of alignment. 14 doses of morphine wasn't even touching the pain - it's stomach twisting to say the least... Sad thing is it's my good knee -

In my surfing I have seen the ones you are referring to and if I am not mistaken they are not regular co2 cartridges but a special cart. designed for that set-up. I would go with the previous posters advice if you want a cleaner look go with paintball canisters.

I too am sorry to hear about your knee, I used to work in sportsmedicine and physical therapy so I know the pain your in.
