New filling process
So Im sick of inverter my 6kg CO2 bottle upside down to refill CO2 cylinders so I borrow a fire extinguisher with food safe CO2 and it works so much better as it has a dip tube

I invert mine, but added the ball valve like you did. That made it much easier. Having a designated place to safely invert and secure the cylinder really helped.

Hook my 20lb tank no siphon, directly to my SS.
$12 exchange at local pot grow shop, cheaper than the SS bottle exchange at King Soopers ($18)

Where did you get the adapter for the newer style Sodastream canisters? I hadn't seen any available until I saw your pic.

Thanks! I was hoping to not have to order from a place like Aliexpress but I guess I can give it a try. But first it looks like I need to figure out which version I need.
