Santa brought me a Ultraflate Plus - 16 oz CO2 inflator for Christmas. Of course I couldn't resist installing the cylinder and playing with my new toy.

Here's my question. Now that this seal has been punctured will the device hole pressure or will it slowly leak out over time?

Or, would I be better off putting the inflator and a virgin cylinder in to my bike pouch and only install the cylindar when I need to inflate a tire?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
