Do these ship full of CO2 or empty?

Empty. I don't believe charge canisters are typically shippable, so you will likely need to charge any you buy online.

As per federal regulations, they ship empty. Go to your local hardware store to fill. My ace hardware charges $3.18

I take mine down to the local welding supply store. They have CO2, Oxygen, Propane, Butane, Acetylene, etc. I had a cool looking bottle that came with mine, silver color with black logo on the side. They would not fill it for me. I had to exchange it for a scratched up full one, but nobody opens the door and says, "Ewe gross" or anything like that. :)

yes...they are tubeless ready...a little hard to seat with a floor pump. I always seat them with CO2.

They are marked on one side only and VERY faint. The markings are for 10CC increments (full is 60 CC) and in 1/2 ounces (full is 2oz). Good steady pressure and grips. I was pleasantly surprised!

They are packed very well. I buy these on subscription, so have received probably five cartons so far. Each bag is filled with air and packed well. No crushin' going on! Enjoy!

It's a regular Co2 container. They are around 3 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter.

Everyone I've ever bought way shipped empty. I'd imagine there is some rules to shipping a pressurized container via the mail. The good news is, airgas inc can fill it for around 26$ and you'll get about 4 kegs out of it.

I have the same quandry... 1 pic shows some bottles that are near empty, others 1/2 full... another pic shows most bottles 1/2 to 3/4 full. . . . MY question-- just how much DO the bottles contain?

They're one-use cartridges. I think all 8g CO2 cartridges are made for just 1 liter or so. I use these in my 1L Isi Soda Siphon.

I have no idea - the ones I bought were actually empty shells... Didnt work at all.

No CO2. Totally pumped in air and minimal at that. GREAT little tool. Get one! We got 11 to gift them. :)

I flew with them filled and everything worked out just fine. Be sure to follow the fill instructions and don't overfill. I also put them inside gallon ziploc bags in the event they leaked. The added precaution proved unnecessary though. Enjoy!

I've had no such issues with mine. However, I recently went to a paintball supply shop to have my cartridges refilled and the owner was concerned about filling a cartridge that would be used for human consumption. He said he couldn't vouch for the safety of the CO2. Does anybody know if this is a real concern? Do they need a special filter or something?

Well everything will do ok if you put them in your bags that go into the airplane but the co2 i think youll have trouble with specially that is flammable and the airplane company will see it as a threat.

Empty. If you had to buy it full of water it would cost a fortune to ship it!
