by that i mean is 1 manufacturer better than another, or are they all the same? does 1 contain more of the good stuff than others

It depends on the pistol/rifle, main difference is the necks of the bottles, umarex are about the cleanest, i find the crosman ones oily and full of black oxidization
umarex guns = umarex C02
the ones i had my eye on were crosman, seem very cheap. are you saying that the oil does more harm then good? i'll be using a cybergun 1911 & asg cz 75 p-07, both blowback
I buy mine in bulk from Tyre Inflators as this works out cheaper than 'branded' capsules from my local RFD. I was under the impression that there's no difference between brands, other than some having a little lubricant inside them but I always clean and lube the ends anyway. Be interesting to see if anyone disagrees with this...
"You can't stop here, this is Bat Country!"
I just buy whatever I get the best deal on, the ones with the lube are fine but you only really need to use oil every 5 or so capsules (you dont have to buy bulbs with oil in them, you can just stick a drop of CO2 gun friendly oil, like pellgun, on top of the bulb). CO2 is such a tempremental gas anyway I don't think you could easily tie down badly performing capsules to a manufacturer.
I have noticed that different manufacturers make slightly different sized\shaped bulbs, but I've always been able to fit them into all my guns and never had a problem with leakage or sealing. There are threaded 12g bulbs but I've never had a gun that uses them.
The last lot I bought were crossman, but as far as I can tell they performed as well as a box of unbranded ones I had left over from my splatmaster back in the 80s.
Get them from JSR, own brand (unbranded). Around 32p each, gas is dry & clean. No problems after 100s of capsules.
Dynamit Noble who imported the RWS C225 recommended NOT to use Crosman, saying the oil clogged up the works. They said anything but.
