So after losing 2 tanks of CO2 in a week and replacing the o-ring on Taprite thinking that would be the solution, it looks like it's DOA. No patience for rebuilding it, so just ordered a new one from More Beer but won't arrive until next Wednesday.

In the meantime, I have a Pilsner that I was just carbonating and all the CO2 leaked out so I am stuck. My question, I have one of those small portable CO2 cartridges, would that be able to pressurize the keg once I check all the o-rings and lube them? Really don't like the beer sitting without a seal letting any oxygen in.
