can you fill a snowpulse air pack with co2 from a paint ball shop
snowpulse question
- Thread starter RaggedEdgePerformance

No, you do NOT want to fill an airbag canister with CO2. CO2 and cold temperatures do not mix well. And it voids your warranty. Most paintball shops can fill with compressed air.
As mentioned above. You only want to use dry compressed air (fire department or SCUBA shop). ou don't want to use CO2. The canister for snowpulse needs to be filled to 3,000 PSI. Don't forget to check & replace your O-ring.
Check out our fill adapters for either SCUBA or Fire Dept - http://www.snowbigdeal.com/servlet/the-Avalanche-Airbags-cln-Spare-Canisters-%26-Service-Kits/Categories

CO2 WOULD BE A NO
corect me if i am wrong on any of this:
CO2 is in liquid state when compressed in its tank and expands with ambent air temp so colder outside temp the less pressure you would get
not to mention none of the mid to high end paintball guns run on CO2 they all use compressed air cause CO2 will ice up at high rate of fire and i am sure there are other reasons. just get a scuba tank and an adapter, only cost $5-10 to fill the scuba tank at a dive shop it might be abit more now i have not fill one in about two years. let them know you only want around 3300psi they are normally filled to 4500psi

Scuba shop is where you need to take, however if have not purchased your snowpulse i recommened the abs. they have been around alot longer and have a great track record. they also inflate much faster and the bag itself remains inflated much longer.

I believe Snowpulse has been around longer... I could be wrong. BUT I believe the reason that Snowpulse deflates quicker is because it gives more breathing time because it actually provides oxygen to the person buried, plus when the bag deflates, there is ROOM for your chest to rise and fall without the crushing weight of the snow.
I tested all of the bags before purchasing my airbag and the Snowpulse stood out as my winner.
But no matter what bag you buy, any bag is better than no bag!

ok so the paint pall shop out here fills with nitrogen would that work the fire dept will not fill it we dont have a scuba shop now what do I do to get it filled
I would stay away from nitrogen also. As the bag deflates the last thing you want to breath in is any more nitrogen. If you have a safety company nearby check with them. They probably fill scott air pacs and have a compressor.
