Leland 8 Gram Co2 Seltzer Soda Cartridges, 10 Count

Top product! Top seller! Pretty much unobtanium here in Spain, most EU sellers refuse to ship at all. Lucky I amazon beats them all, hassle free delivery, no extra fees. Works great in the T50 Compact. Thanks!

Although I think these are primarily sold for use in home soda making machines, I bought them to use in my Pepperball TCP CO2 powered pistol that shoots various home defense rounds, similar to those used by many law enforcement agencies for "less than lethal" crowd control. The TCP uses 8 gram cartridges, which are a little harder to find than the more common 12 gram size, and are typically more expensive when bought from home defense dealers. The Leland cartridges fit fine in the pistol, seemed to have plenty of power, and were a good value. I assume these would also work in many pellet and BB guns that use 8 gram CO2 cartridges.

Before I ordered, I read all of the reviews and read them to my husband, as well, so he'd be able to get it to fit a Twist 'n Sparkle. He made it with a simple strip of cardboard from the packaging and it works great. I think it's more carbonation than the Sparkletts, actually, I'd read that they have less and I don't find that to be the case. Also, I'd heard of the different opinions about an aftertaste on feedback and so we ordered the small package first (10 charges) to try it out. I have a pretty sensitive palate and the taste isn't that different. I don't get the aftertaste unless it's not cold enough (my own fault). Other than that, taste can also be influenced by the water itself and, since my local water is full of delicious, nutritious heavy metals, the taste is different from one day to the next anyway. The money you save is truly worth it. This part is just a personal tip, but I also have hereditary health issues that have been giving me a rough time over the last 15 years or so. If Perrier makes you feel better when you're nauseated or you tummy isn't quite settled, get the cartridges like this and a Twist 'n Sparkle and you (and a loving spouse) will feel much better! :)

Since the Pepperball branded 8 gram CO2 cartridges are out of stock, we purchased these to use to practice with the Pepperball Mobile Lightweight Personal Defense launcher. I have no experience with any other brand of cartridges, so I can't make comparisons. We have shot three strings of three rounds each with these on multiple occasions. As the manufacturer states, the gas leaks out within 24 hours of firing the first shot, so it must be replaced once the shooting session is complete.

Used these to make drinks

Fun

I concur with others, flavor profile is not the same. Had to try it out for cost but the taste when drinking straight isn't to our liking. We compared side by side with ISI brand using same water, same cold prep etc on the ISI Soda Siphon, so this wasn't an issue with our process or the water or even a bad canister as we tried several in the box. I wanted to really really like them, I drink a lot of plain soda water, but can't.

These do not work in a Healthways Plainman 175. A very small leak occurs, you can’t hear the leak but after a couple of hours it’s empty. The Plainsman is not the problem because I have other cartridges that work well. I was given the plainsman with a few of cartridges (which worked and sealed pressure for months) and now I need a new source for 8g Co2 cartridges.
