Scuba Tank CO2 Hack
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about his creative solution to expensive SodaStream CO2 refills, highlighting a potential business opportunity.
"I have a SodaStream, and then as a gift I was gifted this thing. With SodaStream you have to buy like a $30 canister every 2 or 3 weeks because I use it a ton - that's all I drink.
So what I did was I went to a scuba store and bought a scuba tank. That cost like $30 and I filled it up with CO2. I bought this attachment so I could use it with my SodaStream. It's pretty amazing.
At home I say I want my bubbles to be aggressive. I want it like Topo Chico where it burns so good - that's what I want. So I bought a piece for it for like $10 that converts a scuba tank into a canister for these SodaStreams."
