Amazon does in another brick & mortar business...........

I avoid buying through them like the plague.
 
my soda steam cartridge refills were only $13.00 total wit coupon… had to go to staples for refill @$17.00… no bigge, but… cellie…
 
Their return policy was way too generous, I would be astounded when I was stuck in line in their old store in 5 towns and the old biddy crew was bring in well worn items. Huge markup somewhat offset by their coupons, bride once made me go back to take advantage of a forgotten coupon, I was astounded by how much it was worth and then saw how bad the markup was. Good occasionally for picnic things like tiki torches, oil, ways to sneak in coke and rum to concerts, but after a while it was all junk I would see in a flea market or a 99 cent store. Shame to see Amazon kill another chain...

Do it yourself with dry ice. Two cartridges take around 2 pound of dry ice. So I usually get 3 lbs of pellets to be sure. The pellets fit nicely into the neck of the cartridge. Total is then $9 ($3/lb by Apple Ice) to refill two cartridges. I could do it for $6 for 2 pounds but could wind up short if it starts to "melt" on the way home. So I prefer to get more and be safe and even slightly overfill the cartridges. Easy as pie. Just be sure to wear gloves when handling the ice. Oh, also, you'll need a digital kitchen scale as each cartridge takes 410 grams or even a bit more.

Impossible to blow things up. BTW, I was a Biology major with minors in Chemistry and Physics. Trust me. This is so easy, as Geico used to say, even a caveman could do it. You put the dry ice into the container, put the cap back on and tighten it and the container gets really cold and icy as the dry ice sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas bypassing the liquid state).
 
thanks Jaws, R7, for the $$$ and effort of locating Dry Ice shop, but as the host says at the end of the vid a “bit messy” but a savings of ( for me $15 ) may not be worth it…
purchasing a fully charge unit, it’s still better than purchasing a case of bubble water from costco or BJ’s, cellfish…

ya know, there maybe a time inda future where i may try refilling these cylinders at home..
during the peak of CoVid, stores ran out out of refills, so i may give it a try if that happens again for whatever reason…
luckily i had a spare which lasted till stores restocked… cellfish…

I'd take exception to the "a bit messy" quote, dry ice isn't messy at all as it sublimes, so goes straight from solid to gas, so no liquid clean up.

HOWEVER, you want to be careful where you do the work. If you do it on a laminate surface like Formica and some pellets spill onto it, the cold will separate the laminate from the surface, the same for vinyl floors. Just be careful you do the work on something totally inert in case of a "spill". A large, plastic cutting board comes to mind.

I routinely throw any dry ice that comes in packages into a sink full of water for the "Mad Scientist" effect...
