Hi, I have scuba tanks, and smaller paintball style compressed air cylinders, and was wondering if they could be used with airgravers instead of co2? As they are cheaper to fill, last longer and wont get cold with excessive use (I'm not sure if the airgravers get cold or not, as I don't have one....yet). The paintball style tank has the same thread pattern as a 20oz co2 bottle, and I can't see why they wouldn't be interchangeable, but I thought I would ask here.

Thanks

Thanks, that covers both of the ideas I had. Pretty strait forward. Now I just have to invest in one:cheers2[1]:
