I have repaired probably a half dozen flats with CO2 and have never had a problem with it or wasted a cartridge, maybe it depends to the inflator that you are using. I have an Air Chuck and it has worked pefectly everytime. I carry it, three cartridges and two tubes and that has always been enough for me.
