Hydor Co2 Canisters

[afroturf]

Hi, i own a hydor exclusive co2 system, link - http/www.finsonline.co.uk/index.asp?func...p;productid=159 I was woundering if anyone knows where to get cheep refills for them. Mine hasn't ran out yet but the hydor canisters are only 74grms so wont last long and they're at least £10 for a new one, can they be used with paintball canisters or can you buy adaptors so they can be used with large refillable canister?
Any help will be much appriciated.

Sodding hell that's expensive! You could have got a full scale pressurized system for the same money!

Yeah I have one too and am thinking the same thing.... I got mine really cheap but I wondering if the cost of cannisters over a year would just equal the price of a bigger CO2 set up! I was looking at thread sizes etc on the web but without buying a paintball cartridge etc I am not sure. Walther do 88gram paintball cartridges and I am gonna have a look at them to see if I can sort something out. How have you got on with it?

Seen Dave Spencer's Aquamas thread ?

Warning about Aquamas

It would appear not just Hydor regs fail.

Yeah i've seen daves thread. I'll just have to be careful setting it up and Daves system seemed to have been bashed around during shipping so the may have caused the regulator to fail. I just hope mines ok.

Me too.
I put the reg and solenoid together as per Dave's pre-journal.

I think from reading some blurb on one of these adverts, that you can use the disposable 500ml bottles on this setup rather than keep buying those tiny little gas bombs.
