Soda Stream refill canninsters?

Hey kids,
Anyone know a place to buy new (full) Soda Stream replacement cannisters in the Davis area. My soda is terribly flat these days....
Thanks!

Tags in Porter has them (they do exchanges at the service desk) and the cocktail supply store in Davis (Boston Shaker?)has them.

Yup. You can get them at the Boston Shaker on 69 Holland Ave in Davis (a block from Daves Fresh)

We get ours at Boston Shaker. :)

I was gonna say both of these things too. Love our local options.

(Interestingly enough, you can't buy them. You technically have to rent them from SodaStream International Ltd. And they're very serious about you not refilling them yourself or using them in any unintended ways.)

What does "very serious" mean? Ninjas? Sharpshooters? Sternly worded letters? Waking up to find an empty canister in your bed?

[smammy]

They mostly try to shut down refill services. But yeah, I'm sure you're going to find an empty canister in your bed. And there will be CO2 ALL OVER YOUR SHEETS.

The bastards.

custom connectors, mostly, so you can't use it with normal canisters. you can get an adapter (http://co2doctor.com/freedomoonespec.htm) to make it work with a normal co2 canister, though.

Got it. Thanks for the help!

I love how many comments there are here even though the first one was posted two minutes after the original post and answered the question entirely.

I'm particularly happy with rmd's comment...

They cost a lot less at Tags than at Boston Shaker.

I don't know about the difference in cost between swapping in for a refill and buying a brand new container at the two locations, but I know that the last time I was in either, they were $15 at Tags and $17 at Boston Shaker for a swap/refill.
