This is everything I've been looking all over online for in one video. Very informative! Thanks so much for this. I also felt like drilling a hole for the quick disconnect was a little more dangerous than this.
Can somebody tell how to fill those 88g cartridges using this technique? I bought these adaptors, co2 filling station with on/off and bleed valves, also 5kg CO2 tank. I only manage to fill few grams of CO2 instead of 90 g. The 5 kg CO2 tank is new, the pressure is 50 BAR. Maybe this is the case?
I think the standard PSI out of an 88g cartridge is about 850 psi. I have been playing with this idea, too. I bought the Umarex adapter for a Umarex Fusion 2 rifle. That adapter needs some filing of the last two threads to make it seat properly in the gun (I haven't done that yet) but I did buy another very similar looking adapter that does work in the gun. I put the Umarex CO2 Saver adapter into the JT CO2 adapter that he mentions here, then screw those into the other adapter (that I have been leaving in the gun, tightened with a wrench, into the gun. So, 88g cart into Umarex into JT adapter into slim adapter into gun. It works. On the pump, I connect to an adapter that fits onto the JT and has a quick-connect male fitting. I have pumped up to 1,000 PSI with the hand pump into the 88g cart (about 43 pumps). The problem I encounter is some loss of air when I unscrew the 88g cart with the Umarex adapter from the pump line, I think about 100 PSI loss. I am working on another solution to that with an adapter that has a shut-off valve, in transit to me now. When I get the kinks worked out I will post back here with links to the adapters. I haven't tested on the chronograph yet to see what 1,000 PSI gets me in terms of speed. I am getting about 30 shots, still trying to tie that number down. I think the 88g CO2 is supposed to supply about 140 shots. So maybe the compressed air into the 88g cart won't come close to what CO2 can supply from that volume of a container. I have an unused 88g cart that I have not run through the test cycle yet for pellet speed and shot count. Having fun trying to put a workable solution together!
Amazing video! Straight to the point and informative. Included all the links as well!

Can you do a video showing how to refill the 88 g cartridge with them 2 adapters
they now sell a 88g to paintball adapter as one whole unit (with a on/off valve!)
It would be great if you made an video of filling the C02 cylinder. Does it work well for you?
Hello! Does that adapter work for the UMAREX Walther Lever Action rifle? THANK YOU.

I like your video. So once filled, can i just use it again and remove all the adapter
Hi, You can reuse it as many times you want. The adapter you remove but the CO2 "saver" has to stay on. It is "one way valve (check valve)"
If I use an air compressor how many pounds of air will an 88 gram tank hold

I am sorry, I use it for co2 only.
This don’t work
