You put the CO2 in this bad boy, you put the CO2 in the drink and bottoms up we save the planet! Why is big soda trying to ruin the planet??

    thats why my cartridges are aftermarket and not by “jews and arabs working in harmony” as sodastream on their product packaging suggests.

      Ugh. Welp I already own two bottles (BB&B clearance), know where I can refill them instead of exchanging?

        I’ve read about ballers who pop the top and drop the appropriate weight of dry ice in. There are tutorials out there but it’s scarier than I’m willing to take on.

        Don’t look at me though, I use Drinkmate.

          Same. They even give you a return label to send them the empties for a 22% discount on refills

            Me too, but I got a sodamod for mine and refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop. Paintball places are cheap too, or some Dick’s Sporting Goods can do it.

        they wont be refilled, but perhaps there are stores with no name branded co2 cartridges?

          There are offbrands like Indigo, but they can be refilled as well. Stores won’t do it, but you can buy a 5~10lbs tank from a beer supply store and fittings and adapters from eBay/Ali.

        The stock ones can’t be refilled unfortunately. You need a special adapter and some modified airsoft tanks: https://www.sodamod.com/

        Our CO2 refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop now; worth it, IMO, but we drink a lot of carbonated water.

        Welding supply might do it. Call and ask

          Provided you want to consider welding supplies to be food grade.
