planning to build a mini portable keg set up. using two 1.6 gal mini kegs in an old rubbermaid cooler. Wanting a compact co2 source that will fit inside the cooler. It seems the paintball tanks are more popular than the sodastream tanks.
From what I can dig up, the paintball tanks are G1/2 valves/threads and sodastream uses TR21-4. So not really interchangeable unless you start getting into adapters.
What is most common for you guys? Is there a preference and why?
I kinda think the paintball is more popular, probably because of capacity (20 vs 14 oz) or maybe just cheaper to put together.
But I really need it to fit inside the keg cooler. space will be tight. one is taller but the other is wider. I think either will fit but without an actual "test bottle" it's just a guess.
