Paintball Co2 bottles

[TankedUp]

I'm wanting to get Co2 going in my tank. How long will a 20oz bottle last at 1-2 bubbles per second?

I don't know but for comparison I've run those 90gram prefilled ones at about that rate maybe a little less and IIRC they lasted about a month.

60 oz ~= 600ml

I think you're supposed to fill paintball co2 1/2 way to 2/3 iirc.  a half fill is about 300ml which weighs about 330g.  so 3-4 months then?  maybe more for a bigger fill?

What kind of regulator do you use with those 90g catridges? I was thinking of trying those, but wasn't sure how well they actually worked.

I used a needle valve that had a pressure gage on it and an adapter to the 90g, wasn't expensive but I remember it being a little bit of a pain adjusting the needle valve to get the bubble/sec I wanted.
