Money and time saving adapter
This adapter works perfectly. I have a large CO2 tank that I’ve had for years when I used to make beer. Being able to transfer that gas to the smaller tank is a huge time and money saver. Just be careful! The small tanks are typically filled to 800-1000 PSI. Filled mine to ~750, works great! Super easy to use. Love it.

This thing works flawlessly.
This is a must have if you own a sodastream and want to refill you own bottles for under a dollar each.Best to buy the twenty pound carbon dioxide containers to save the most money. (get them at a welding supply store for the most savings... all are food grade) make sure for ease of use to get the bottle with a down spout or siphon tube...With this product you can even put in more carbon dioxide into the one pound containers than they origionaly come with.In order to do that you need to freeze the one pound sodastream bottle then wrap it in a couple layer of wet paper towel and a layer of plastic food wrap or a grocery store veg bag and refreeze it.This will keep the temp down as you fill the tank and make it easier to refill to full or even over full.Thumbs up.

Refills a tank…kind of.
Does not allow the full amount of co2 to enter the tank. You are better off buying a 5lb tank empty off Amazon and trading it in at a local place if they do that. I purchased a hose that goes directly from a CGA320 valve to the soda stream and it works perfectly.

So happy! I can't say how many times I would drive to exchange my bottle at Kohl's or Target, wait in line...only to find out that they were out of the pink bottles. When my wife showed me this product, I instantly wanted one. Not only do I save about $17 a bottle, but I never have to go to the store to exchange them again. We have a family of 5 and blow through a pink bottle every 3-4 weeks.There were a lot of negative reviews about the quality, effectiveness and even the customer service for this product. Of course, I didn't read any of them until after I bought the product, so I stayed optimistic - even when almost everything people were talking about was happening to me too...So, I ordered a "20lb CO2 Cylinder with Handle - Aluminum - Recertified" from Beverage Elements for $99 to use to as my large fill tank. After tax and shipping it was about $132. A good deal considering that the local gas distributor I called wanted around $350 for a new filled 20lb tank. At least the distributor was honest when I asked him if it would be better to buy the bottle somewhere else and just have them fill it. You can go with a smaller fill bottle for ease of use, but then you would pay more per pound for the CO2, and you'll be making more trips to refill it.While I was waiting for everything to arrive, I made a few more calls to find out which local distributor would fill the tank for the best price. The day the 20lb tank arrived, I took it straight to AWG to get it filled. After tax and miscellaneous fees it was still less than $33! That means that I can fill the 0.9lb pink bottles around 22 times, for about $1.50each for every 20lb fill tank (I will break even for the investment of the equipment by my 12th pink bottle refill).Moving on, there were 3 big mistakes I made when trying this thing out for the first time:1. Trying to use the large fill tank right after having it filled. Don't do this. The canister will be so cold right after it's filled that it won't transfer more than an ounce of CO2 into the pink bottle if you tried. Wait at least 24 hours for the tank to come to room temperature.2. Trying to fill the bottles with the large tank upright. Unless you "know" that your large tank has a "dip tube", you MUST flip the large bottle upside down while filling the pink bottles in order to get the liquid CO2 out. You might think it's working cause you got the bottle to fill a little bit, but that's the same mistake I made. I was only able to get about 4oz into the bottle that way. If you have an extra $50 you can spend on the tank (~$182 total), you can buy a 20lb tank from Beverage Elements that has a dip tube installed. This will definitely save you a lot of repeated effort and juggling (Not only is the full tank heavy to flip over, but it is difficult to turn the handle on the large tank when it's upside down on a table - you might have to just hold it in one arm while you open it, then set it down - this is what I do).3. Trying to fill pink bottles that I did not freeze overnight. The bottles need to be cold to fill properly. Don't skip this step!So to sum up...this thing is awesome. I can verify that I was able to fill an empty pink bottle with 15.2oz of CO2 using the procedure below. People complaining about the quality of the collar gasket probably tried to remove the pink bottle before releasing the silver pressure knob, which would certainly mess it up. Other than that, I can only say that the instructions the seller gives are pretty terrible, and the fact that the fill tank in their how-to video is upright when they're "filling" the pink bottle is definitely misleading. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who wants to save lots of money and time from wasted trips to exchange overpriced bottles at locations where they are always out of replacements.Hope this helps!1. Freeze your empty pink bottle overnight. If you don't already have 2 pink bottles, invest. Having the spare to freeze, fill, and thaw while you can use the other canister to carbonate is awesome. Otherwise, you'll go without means of carbonation while you wait to fill the empty.2. Make sure your filler is attached to the large fill tank as shown in the attached pictures. When you slide the pink bottle into the collar it should be perpendicular to the large tank (you don't have to hold the small bottle while filling when the collar is at this angle).3. Tighten the silver pressure release knob on the filler clockwise to close.4. Slide the frozen pink bottle all the way into the collar. Use a glove, kitchen towel or oven mitt to handle the bottle from the moment you remove it from the freezer. This will keep the bottle from warming up in your hands, which would reduce the amount you'd be able to fill it. I put this step before the next in case you have a large fill tank with a safety collar that won't allow you to set the tank down inverted. If you are able to stand the tank upside down on it's safety collar, do step 5 before sliding the pink bottle into the fill collar.5. (If your tank has a fill tube, skip this step). Pick up the large tank, flip it over, and stand it up on the edge of a table on its collar guard. While flipping the fill tank over, be careful not to tip the pink bottle in a way that would let it slip out of the collar before you start to fill it. If your tank doesn't have a collar guard that will allow you to set it on the table upside down, then you will have to hold everything in your hands until the end of step 9.6. Slowly turn the large knob on the fill tank. (If your tank is upside down and you're not already holding it, you may have to pick the whole mess up to turn the handle, then set it back down - turning the large knob is difficult when the tank is on the table). You will hear the liquid CO2 entering the pink bottle. You will also notice the flow getting quieter as the pink bottle fills. After around 30 seconds the sound will be faint. This means the bottle is full. If you hear loud hissing like a gas leak, it is likely there is a problem. (Bottle not inserted fully, release valve not fully closed, damaged yellow collar gasket, damaged white tank connector gasket, or tank nut not fully tightened)7. Close the large knob on the fill tank.8. Turn the silver release knob counter-clockwise to release the pressure in the collar. Important!9. Slide the pink bottle out of the collar and put the large tank back on the floor.For reassurance and fun, weigh the bottle on a kitchen scale before you fill it, tare the scale, then re-weigh after filling.Have fun!

Fills the containers more full than soda stream originals
I did a test by weighing my canisters of Sodastream new, empty, and after refill to track the performance of my tank. I bought a 20lb tank locally, which was WAY MORE than I expected it to be. FYI. But I ran the numbers and realized I’d still break even at the first time of refilling the 20lb. I found that if I put the empty canisters in the freezer and then brought them out to refill, I could get ever so slightly higher weight on my refills than the factory ones. I will continue to track to see if that diminishes as my tank empties. So far I have refilled 5 tines and it’s working great!

INSTRUCTIONS ARE REALLY POOR, BUT THIS DOES WORK
The KEY to refilling a CO2 cylinder at home is KNOWING if your large (SUPPLY) cylinder HAS a dip tube, or it DOES NOT have a dip tube. WHAT is a dip tube, and why does it matter?? Better yet......HOW can I tell if I have one?? In case you slept thru High School- Your large supply Co2 cylinder has LIQUID Co2 on the bottom, and higher up is Co2 in a GAS state. I use a BEERMIESTER 5 Lb. cylinder to refill my pink cyls. This tank used to send Co2 GAS to my keg of beer, to propel the beer up to the tap. The upright tank is sending GAS. The Sodamaster cylinders need LIQUID to refill, so my large tank needs to be UPSIDE DOWN when re-charging, in order for the LIQUID Co2 to come out. Anyone who claims this adapter doesn't do a complete refill needs to invert the large supply cylinder- It DOES work, and refilling the wrong way WILL add some gas, but NOT liquid Co2. Hence all the "DOESN'T REFILL FULLY" complaints.How to know if your supply tank has a Dip Tube?? Set it upright, point the discharge away from your face & body, and slightly/ SLOWLY open the valve. If Hissing GAS comes out, you Do NOT have a dip tube, and you need to turn the supply tank upside down when refilling. If your tank discharges a stream of ICE, you DO have a Dip Tube. The Dip Tube simply brings up the LIQUID Co2, and NOT MANY large tanks come equipped with a Dip Tube.I don't bother weighing the refills. I used several NEW Pink tanks, and determined how many bottles it will fizz. After I chilled and re-filled them from my 5 Pound cylinder, the do the EXACT same number of charges into the soda bottles.
