[Closed] CO2 cartridges and Innovations inflators

i will tell you in a few days as i just ordered some, oops

but i doubt they made the thread size and nozzle different, we shall see

Have you ordered threaded or unthreaded?

I will await your feedback ...

I have bought cheapo cartridges from ebay before for my innovations inflator. Neither lots worked, they look identical but there must be a slight difference in size which resulting in the cartridge not seating snug enough - lots of co2 everywhere except in tyre. Best just to buy the cheapo inflators and not the innovations ones.

blue palomino that does not sound good, midlifecrises i ordered threaded

I've used the threaded ones with no problems. Occasionally you get a dud that has leaked, but that's not often.

I always buy their own brand ones, and have never any dramas, infact, I've just ordered a box of 30 as we speak..

midlifecrisis I was going to order the non-threaded ones earlier this year. I sebt tyreinflators an e-mail and got the response below. And I also thought it was something to do with licencing.

[i]Basically the neck size on Innovations cartridges are ever so slightly smaller. We would recommend you therefore use the threaded ones where possible.[/i]

I ordered the non-branded threaded ones and they have been fine.

Thanks for all the great feedback here.

I guess my options are:
1 - stick with my Innovations inflator and buy Innovations branded threadless cartridges
2 - buy a different inflator and buy unbranded cartridges.

A quick search of the internet suggests option 2 will work out cheaper.

Anyone want a used once Innovations inflator like [url= http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/innovations-tyre-inflators/innovations-proflate-16-inc-1x16gm-co2-uses-only-innovations-brand-co2/prod_1071.html ]this??[/url]

I'd got for option 2, the prices of branded cartridges is crazy.

Yeh i switched to option 2. Inflator does exactly same job, cartridges are cheaper. No brainer.
