@rek what’s your setup? I’m using a paintball tank adapter in my Soda Stream now, but I hate how it wastes gas by using it for agitation.

My original setup was an automotive valve stem mounted in a soda bottle top, but it wasn’t reliable enough.

@rek that’s basically what I was doing with the valve stem. Having a premade one-piece cap like that one would have saved all the headaches. I was using a regulator I found at the hardware store designed for using paintball tanks with air tools. It was a really compact setup.

@jkaniarz forgot i had a photo, my 'keg coupler' is a bit cheaper-looking than the one I linked (was in japan at the time, and couldn't find all of the exact same parts hehe)
So yea, I'm re-using the same regulator with the paintball tank, so the adapter is to couple those together.

@rek Check out the tiny regulators on this setup. They’re even smaller than what I had. https://hackaday.com/2013/10/16/going-mobile-with-your-air-tools/

@jkaniarz pretty slick~ I'm kinda hellbent on re-using what I've got, but that would be a nice option for an entirely new setup.
