How much liquid can be carbonated with one co2 cartridge in the fizz giz?

Commercial carbonation is 8g pre lieter. The CO2 cart, that fits the carbonater is 16g.That being said in a perfect world 2 lieter bottles or one 2 lieter bottles. I prefer thesmaller sizes the bubbles hold up longer. I went for the adapter that fits a standardpaint ball bottle. Much cheaper to use and I get great results. I also have a "SODASTREAM"unit and it gives very poor results. You can't shake the bottle during carbonation. a keycomponant to good carbonation.

I have only used the small ones a couple times, think it was maybe a few 2 liter bottles, I think it says on his website. I have the home station and a paint ball tank I bought on Amazon, the store where I filled it at said that tank should have enough air to do a small beer keg.

That all depends on how fizzy you like your drinks. Go to www.fizzgiz.com. They have all the info you will need to make a decision.

That depends on how fizzy you want your water, Sherry. When I first got mine I did the math and I think my cost with the small cartridges that go in the black banana thing was about a nickel a liter, but I also bought the home station kit and from the 20 oz paintball sized canister it is more like a two or three cents a liter. I like mine really fizzy.

No. The piece that causes puncturing of the cartridge is a tube that is threaded at one end. The tube is just long enough for small (8 gram) cartridge. So the only way to use a longer cartridge is to get a longer tube with the same thread. There is no indication that the munfacturer makes such. You can use more than one cartridge I suppose. One cartridge gives plenty of fizz as long as you drink it right away. The resealing cap can only hold what pressure is still there after you open and pour some , so the lower the fluid level the lower the pressure left in the liquid.

This tank's capacity makes 77 of "Primo's" half-liter bottles for me...give-or-take eight. TIP: If you start with VERY COLD water and frequently and vigorously shake the entire machine vertically for about 10 seconds after each gas "shot" into the bottle and don't over-shoot the gas injections so-as to minimize the "buzzes" of escaping CO2, you'll get about 85, highly-fizzed bottles...MANY MORE if you don't mind less carbonation!

I've carbonated all kinds of stuff with mine, no problem. Liquids with sugars tend to get really bubbly rather than fizzy, like when you open a Guiness beer. I've read that the sugars act as condensation points for the CO2, allowing it to come out of solution into large bubbles. You will get better results fizzing water and adding it to your drink. My favorite drink is 20% wine and 80% fizzy water.

You have to shake the bottle once the CO2 goes in for about 60-120 seconds. The more you shake, the more carbonation. Also, the water has to be ice cold. The colder, the more carbonation.

Press the button 3-5 for average fizz. Press it more or less times for the amount of fizz you want.

I've carbonated two 1 liter bottles with one 16g cartridge -- and they had higher carbonation than what you'd have if you purchased a carbonated beverage at the store.

Yes, you can carbonate water with less than 1.2 liter in the bottle. I have not tried 2 cartridges. It might be dangerous pressing second cartridge into a pressurized bottle. Chilled liquid and some ice in the bottle seemed to help with more fizzle.

Sorry, I don't know the answer. I think it depends on how much carbonation you put into the water. I like a lot of carbonation so I have two 20 oz canisters that I keep on hand for the Primo (one in the machine and one extra).

I use the readily available Leland Seltzer Chargers with mine. They are tiny bit short, so I wad up a piece of paper to make up the difference. What I do is insert the cartridge in the Soda Sparkle, then press the paper in between the top of the cartridge and the inside top of the Soda Sparkle. Works just fine. I have also used a thin slice of cork to take up the extra space. I have been using my Soda Sparkle more than two years, and have had great results with no problems.

If you use less water (say, half as much as normal), puncture the CO2 canister, then vigorously shake the bottle for ten seconds, finally let it stand for another ten seconds before depressurizing, you will get greater carbonation without risking damage to the product. That would be the equivalent of using twice as many CO2 canisters on a full bottle. Hope that helps!

I purchased the soda sparkle brand C02 cartridges, they have 8g of CO2 and they work perfectly.

Small bottle, co2, nozzle and maker. No flavors but you can immediately make soda.

One cylinder per bottle. Bottle of soda will last at least a week. I bought a box of 100 co2 cylinders and shared them with my kids. The cost was around $50. Look around for good deal! I love this because you can store it away and not take up a lot of room.

The co2 from brewing will create enough pressure to force the liquid out first, since the intake valve is at the bottom of the tank. The co2 cartridge is really a propellant, push the liquid out but not altering the co2 content of the liquid.You want to have o2 in the tank for brewing, but once you "tap" the tank, clear the lines, and "charge" it with co2, the o2 is gone and it won't ferment

For whipped cream and foams you will need N2O cartridges. If you want to carbonate, you'll have to buy CO2 cartridges.

The CO2 will leak out wasting a cartridge. Also, over time there may be some seal leakage. I have not had a problem.
