where to get cheap co2 capsules

[Bjacobs571]

I have heard they are not recycleable as they are worried you may throw away a full one. It could be dangerous if a full one is put in their furnace and explodes. They may not have the manpower or be able to justify the expence of inspecting them to make sure they are empty.

I'd be surpised - It'd probably blow the top off first and could propel itself quite violently of course, but probably less explosive than a full can of deodorant and I'll bet there are plenty of those thown in the recycling where someone didn't like the smell.

Always used jsr for mine .... great service

I usually go for the cheapest branded name
Last time I got 500 airarms for £125

I can’t comment on jsr as he has banned me from buying from his sites as I sent back 3 tins of horrible looking bsa pellets
Big loss jsr as I have since spent over £2500 on accessories since you banned me from buying

My empties go into the recycling - never had a problem about them taking them, but I think that I've heard somewhere that most recycling plants 'lose' anything less than 4" in any dimension as it falls through the conveyer belts though not sure if that's just plastic/aluminium, as I'd expect them to use magnets to get tins etc. out

They probably can be, come up with some arty-farty idea, charge the earth for it and away you go (see, I watch 'Money for Rubbish' or whatever it's called)

if you see them on the street they are more likely to be nitrous oxide / laughing gas and is used as a drug, they are usually used for a cream whipping machine. so not as innocent as you first thought (same as me!)

also they make good spinners just put a small hole through the neck and thread string or wire. or just put on a small rod / stick and poke it into the ground.
