CO2 cartridges--where to buy?
I was sure this topic had been raised but a search yielded no results. Just looking for the least expensive source for threaded 16g CO2 cartridges for my Innovations inflator. Any good sources to buy in bulk?

These are really specialty items that I've only seen in bike shops or bike catalogs. The common CO2 cartridges are 12 gm unthreaded and are sold in any sporting goods store or sporting goods department of big box stores since they are used in paint ball and "BB" guns. I've gotten them in boxes of 25 for under $10.
Innovations makes an inflator that uses these 12 gm cartridges.

That was the primary reason I just stuck with the plain old boring 12g unthreaded cartridges. I think my last box of 24 cost less than $10 at Wally-World.

I have one that accepts any Co2 cart, threaded, non threaded, 12, or 16g. I'd like to find a cheap source for non-threaded 16g carts. For now, I settle for the $9.99 box of 25 12g carts at Sports Authority that I bought 2 years ago and haven't even had to open yet.

Mine are just called the "Superflate" and I can't find a model number but they do accept any 12-gm unthreaded cartridge.
