Daughter and friends inflated my SOSpenders......

[jollymon]

My daughter and her friends "accidently" inflated my SOSpenders. <br /><br />I am looking for a cheap source of the cartridges. I can find plenty of CO2 cartridges on the internet, but they are mostly the 12gram ones. I need 38gram with 1/2 thread. <br /><br />I can not belive they can only be had a marine stores at $12-$15 each, when the 12 gram are 10 for $5.95. I did try to search the Iboats MegaMall, but did not find any.<br /><br />Thanks

This is critical safety equipment here, don't try to find a substitute cartridge. You want the one manufactured by the manufacturer of the vest for that particular vest.<br /><br />It's fine to shop for the least expensive vendor for the "official" cartridge. Don't forget any shipping charges.

rwidman,<br /><br />All that is needed is a 38gram 1/2 thread cartridge. There is no spec on a manufacuter. I highly doubt there is a company that makes a "Marine Grade" cartridge.<br /><br />neumanns,<br /><br />I wish I could have seen the look on thier faces!!! <br /> My daughter thought she had broke it and I would have to buy a new one, she thought I was going to be mad. <br /> I took it in stride, repacked it with the spare, and had them out on the water in 10 minutes.
