NO NO NO NO NO!  The Ion only runs on HPA and Anti-Siphoned CO2.  You CAN run it on CO2 only if you get an Anti-Siphon valve.

Agreed.  I wouldn't either, but it's the cheap way out.  You could give it a try, but for the love of God if you're going to run your Ion on Siphoned CO2 send it to me instead.

Just look around.  You can find some metal working shops to do it.  Filling your own would be cheaper.  Just search.

i asked a fire station a few blocks down from me if they could fill mine so i wouldn't have to drive 35 minutes every time and they said they would but they use some sort of extra oxygenated formula and its not the same thing. i just figured that was a complicated way of saying get out of here kid we don't want your type but i don't know.
