I'm beginning to tone down a little too. Some crazy stuff I was doing just 6 years ago, at 26, I would not do now, at 32.

I forget my horn's name but the cap is glued on to where it would be impossible to remove without destroying the bottle. I assume I will be able to get it working again once I patch the tube. I wish they had used something tougher like a hydraulic brake cable, instead of cheap rubber/plastic for the air hose. A more expensive solution that would hold a lot more capacity would be one of those refillable CO2 cartridges mounted to the top tube, which would last a crazy long time since the CO2 inside is typically liquified. The typical usage is for air guns and beverage carbonators and just about anything else that needs a source for non-flammable pressurized gas. I believe you can get them refilled at sporting goods stores or paintball ranges. It would need a pressure regulator though otherwise the horn would likely explode.
