[Closed] Alternative to Genuine Innovations canisters?

Hi all,
I normally ride with a pump, using jersey pockets instead of a Camelbak for morning rides. But after losing two Crank Brothers pumps in a month (They seem to like escaping from jersey pockets - I don't know, either) I've decided to try CO2 canisters instead.

I've got a Genuine Innovations Microflate Nano head from a race I did a while back - it was a freebie - but no longer have the canisters. I've looked around, and it seems these canisters (they're threaded) are 'special' in some way.

Is there a source of cheap canisters, or am I better off buying yet another pump? I'd hoped to find my lost pumps on my morning loop (It's only eight miles in total, with a couple of reps, for god's sake) but they never turn up. ๐Ÿ™

Magic, thank you! Do they definitely work with the Innovations heads?

I'm pretty certain but you could always call them to ask - they sell the innovatiosn heads as well so coudl check for you. I'd sleep safer knowign you'd asked them too ๐Ÿ™‚

IIRC the threaded do but the threadless don't (or it could be the other way around). I'm sure they spell it out on the site though.

I'm right, the threaded do, I've just checked the box of 30 I've got in the garage.

Thank you both a ton - I really appreciate it! wwaswas - is that the old school equivalent of 'Let me google that for you'? ๐Ÿ˜€

I've got various threaded ones that I've used with my air chuck, and they've all worked.
