what type of cartridges and inflator are you using ?
I used CO2 for years (years ago) - and worked very well … at the time I used a Qwikfill inflator that is no longer available

When the work they are amazing.
Between me and all the group rides I have been on I have seen too many times for what reason they/I waste a cartride and have to resort to a hand pump.
One time it did save me though. I tubeless tire blew off my rime on my gravel bike which required me to use co2 to seat the tire. then i used my hand pump to put air in the tire to get home.
