CO2, liquid withdraw

[Stick-man]

My buddy bought his kid a setup to refill his paintball marker. Then his kid switched to compressed air. So my buddy gave me a full "K" bottle of 100% CO2, liquid withdraw. Any ideas what this could be used for? I don't paintball and all of my nephews are using compressed air also. I kinda want to get the bottle out of my cylinder chest.

Can't say for sure but there is a nozzle with a diffuser for Co2 to make dry ice. Maybe there is also something that will work with a syphon tube cylinder?

Either way you can chill beer really quick...

Hmmmm, I like the way you think! Unfortunately, I dont want to walk out to the garage to chill a beer!

Maybe I could make a stand for it which holds it upside down and use it for dusting.

I use mine to refill paintball bottles.
I then use the paintball bottles with a JacPac (Lowes sells the same thing under their brand).
Its not too great for filling tires (freezes up), but its great for nailguns, and I use it to carbonate my own soda. I guess if you had one of those suitcase MIG machines it could be good for that too.

Way easier than lugging a hose from my big compressor, or dragging my tiny compressor around. If I payed to have the little bottles filled though, I'd be in the poorhouse.

Otherwise, you can use a siphon tank like a regular CO2 tank if you hold it upside down.

well this is the perfect time to get a kegerator.

Blow it down, take it to the LWS and have them pull the valve and take out the dip tube, revalve and now you have a good CO2 bottle

Anyone with a Millermatic Passport with the little paint ball sized internal co2 bottle would probly love to have that liquid draw co2 tank to fill the tiny bottle from. I run my Passport with fluxcore, so the little bottle never gets used.

I'm not sure weather my buddy expects the empty back or not. He gave it to me with the intention of using it for my nephews. I got the refill kit also. But a long time ago, I bought empty "K" bottles from a guy for $20.00 ea. I turned them in to my mom & pop gas supplier. We both lost count of how many I have on credit, so I keep 3- "T" or "K" oxy's, 1- "T" 75/25, 1- "T" 100% AR and a 75cu. ft. acet at my shop. If I get a job where I need more, they will give me whatever I need, and when I'm done, I return the empties. No rent or deposit. It will suck if this place ever closes. There is only one other place like that, which is actually closer to me. But once those are gone, I will have to join the rent club!

But you're the only one I know with a passport! But from what you've said, I have one on my future needs list.
