Sodestream bottle problems.

Im sure youve guessed from the title, but the brass bit at the top wont come off. Any ideas anyone?

I dont have any problems removing that . And the tread below them is M18*1.5, standard metric fine.

I would not advise removing the top of a sodastream bottle.

Sodastream bottles are not intended to be refilled by the end user and you will also find it difficult to refill at events.

If you want to replace the pinvalve, its rather difficult. I never found a suitable valve to replace the pinvalve.

Paintball bottles have another kind of tread, so thats no option.

I would suggest not to use sodastream bottles for RW. But use a 12 oz paintball bottle.

Scroll down .....

Note:-
The Continental SodaStream has a different bottle neck thread to the U.K........unless Mario is refering to the NEW Soda Club bottles.

New Sodaclub bottles.

Pics of both types on my site ......plus a NEW pneumatics page.

Mario is correct ....You may well find Paintball bottles easier.

So ...Rhys .....what are you up to?

I was just trying to get together bits for a LP compressor type flipper for my featherweight. I used to have a feather, but gave up after just the one event. I thought this would be the best way to go about getting a proper weapon.

As for the paintball bottles, can someone give me some advice? Where would I get them? how much are they? What size threads etc, Will they have dodgy valves that cant be removed either?

A paintball bottle over here, In Belgium, can be equipped with an on/off valve. Price around £31
The external tread is comparable to a 1/2 bsp.

I do not have any troubles removing any valve from any bottle.

So, if i buy a paintball bottle, can I just screw a 1/2 bsp connector onto it, or will I have to add/remove anything?

I was looking at this. Would that be suitable, and easy to connect up?
