How much PSI can be put in just the plain, 25 dollar, 20ounce C02 tanks?

Literal pressure is 1800 or so.

If you are going to do something dangerous I'm not going to take responsibility for it.

you arent gonna want to try to fill it with air if thats what youre thinking...its gonna blow up...

if you dont respond here after a while, i guess well know what happened to you...

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.

your filling the tank yourself?? thats not very safe. If your tank is PMI pure energy, read the tank, it says only TRAINED personel should fill it

You need a scale at the least. Until you receive training on how to fill them, don't do it by yourself.

You don't fill CO2 to a pressure. You fill it to a quantity. That quantity is ~ 20 oz!! You need to weigh the tank empty, then add CO2 til you get around 18 oz more...if you overfill it, the pressure will go to high, and you'll blow the burst disc.

And roughly a hundred bucks for a fill station, plus scale, CO2 bulk tank rental, etc.

Exactly.  Co2 is filled by weight.  At 20 oz tank has a capacity of 20 ounces.  Pressure of co2 at 70 degrees is about 850 psi, no matter how many ounces of it you have.  If you have one ounce in your tank the pressure at 70 degrees will be 850 psi.  If you have 20 ounces of co2 in your tank at 70 degrees the pressure will be 850 psi.  Co2 is measured by weight!!
