    I love La Croix. My favorite flavor is Coconut.

    I don’t buy it anymore now that I have a soda stream hooked up to a 5lb CO2 tank

      You went directly to the tank? I’ve been filling co2 bottle with minimal success.

        Yes! I bought one of these and run it right to the tank without a regulator. I close the tank after every use. Currently I swap the tank at a local liquor shop, but there’s a welding supply place I will likely switch to in the future to get a better price.

        Supposedly you can refill the smaller cylinder tanks but I think this is easier

          I bought the adapter to fill the bottles but i believe they have a valve protector of some type. I have to fill really slowly and if i open the valve to much they stop. Even if i freeze them i can only get them about half full. I got my tank from a keg shop. I think it was about $80 and $20 to refill. I’ll check for the hose adapter to the machine.

            You may have to turn the tank upside down to fill the small one with liquid co2 instead. At least that’s how I’m getting best results.

              I’ve tried different things - freezing, upside down, etc. It’s hard to hold everything without a helper. I just bought the adapter to contact straight to the machine. Will see how that goes tomorrow.
