Re-arming inflatable Life Vest--CO2 cartridge question
Posted on 8/14/13 at 9:32 am
Posted on 8/14/13 at 9:32 am
Are all small CO2 cartridges the same? The life vest company (Onyx) sells re-arming kits for $25+
but I can get a pack of 25 small cartridges for paintball for $15.

The onyx ones are 24 grams of co2, I think the BB gun ones are 10-12 grams.

Nope.

does anyone have a cheaper source for them. $25 seems expensive for a freaking gas cartridge.

Can't put a price tag on your life, bub.

This thread makes me so happy I didn't test my inflatable vest.
It is tough not to pull the cord on a new vest...

Yep. I left mine in a wet hatch of my boat. The moisture set it off!

Wasted mine the other day floating around on it as a seat. Surprised how well I could balance on it. Had too many beers

Mine also has a special plastic tip on the cartridge that can't be replaced without buying the "recharging kit"

frick. The damn things are like printer ink cartridges. Held captive by the original product's replacement parts.

Had the same thing happen to all my auto inflate vests. Forgot to put the plug in the bottom of the hatch and some water got in there somehow
$20 a pop to re-arm them now. And you have to use the specific kit to get the correct water soluble piece that makes it work.
