I like my water real fuzzv, can I use two or more cartridges to extra charge?

I would strongly suggest against it. Over pressurizing can lead to the canister exploding. I saw one go once. Pretty scary.

If you use less water (say, half as much as normal), puncture the CO2 canister, then vigorously shake the bottle for ten seconds, finally let it stand for another ten seconds before depressurizing, you will get greater carbonation without risking damage to the product. That would be the equivalent of using twice as many CO2 canisters on a full bottle. Hope that helps!

I WOULD NOT USE MORE THAN 1. SAFETY RISK. Make sure you let it sit for 15 minutes or more and then shake to get the gas infiltrated through the water.

I'd never do it. Probably voids a warranty not to mention potential danger. Try experimenting with different brands of cartridge to see which you like the best. The process either in nature or your fridge depends on cold, pressure, and time to drive the CO2 and produce the best bubbles. So, very cold bottle and water, and maybe leave it for a while longer in the fridge before using. Good luck.

Actually, Joseph, I've wondered that same question but have been reluctant to try it. I only used one cartridge and wasn't real impressed with the outcome. Let me know if you find out the answer to your question. Peace to you, Janie

As far as I know, you need both cartridges for the printer to operate properly.

no that's one reason why I wouldn't buy it again! Buy the cheaper version for games and such, but you'll have to buy individual cartridges at 20 some bucks each!!!

I'm really not sure? I have seen answers that you can use a black cartridge in place of the grey space but don't know this answer?

As far as I know they are not offering a refillable cartridge. Their are products out their to hack the cartridge software but the company has responded with a dirty little trick on their latest firmware 1.2.3. What it dose is checks the serial number on the cartridge and how much filiment that should be in their , if the numbers don't coraspond they disable your printer so you are screwed. What most of us are doing is downgrading the firmware so we can use any filiment we like . If you would like the web adress to the da Vinci club get a hold of me at dottbryan@gmail.com. The printer is a good unit. And we need to fight this BS of shutting down a product that we buy and own. It's against the laws of ownership I hope this has helpt you out v

Hi Scott,Thank you for your reply -- I appreciate it! Went to the link you provided and put in my request to be notified when they get more in stock.Still hoping someone can tell us how long a cartridge lasts on average -- 20 bucks is pretty expensive for just 2 of them, although I noticed they're currently offering a 20% discount with free shipping, which would help a bit.

sodastream sits on your counter and you have to trade back the cartridges.You can put this in a drawer and it uses disposable cartridges.

You can use 2 filters minimum and four maximum at a time. Don't know why you couldn't use two of each. There's nothing that would prevent it. I'd contact customer service at British Berkfeld to make sure that you'll be getting the benefits from this setup that you hope for. My experience with two filters has been great. Water from the tap here tastes awful but once it goes through the Berkie filter, it tastes great.

You should replace the Cartridge. You can get it on Amazon for $11 or less. One cartridge would work well for 2 months (approx). Hope this helps!

That package is used only if you want to fill your own cartridges. I sent mine back to the provider and got cartridges instead. I have not the foggiest idea how to use the refill package.Phyllis

That depends on how fizzy you want your water, Sherry. When I first got mine I did the math and I think my cost with the small cartridges that go in the black banana thing was about a nickel a liter, but I also bought the home station kit and from the 20 oz paintball sized canister it is more like a two or three cents a liter. I like mine really fizzy.

You have to provide your own cartridge. Shaffer refills work okay. Just be aware the cartridges slip off the docking nub and tend to leak.

Good question! I don't think the answer is available before any individual purchases the set over the 'net. However, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll use up more than one of the cartridges well before the expiration date arrives, regardless.

There are four separate color cartridges. I imagine you can use generic replacement cartridges though I haven't done it.

I think your second cartridge is not working. I had the same thing happen. I just ordered a new cartridge. Hopefully the next one will work. Or I will be returning it.

I get the fizz, but need to give it extra pumps and increase the amount. It works fine if I do that.
