FiZZ GiZ-III Soda Rope Home Carbonation Kit

An amazing product. In the 24 hours I have had it I have had a sparkling wine, various sodas and lots of plain carbonated water. My wife is already making a list of homemade syrups she wants to try. I am going out today to restaurant supply to pick up some bag in box diet Dr Pepper (Amazon sells bib taps) so I will let you know how mixing (it's a 5:1 ratio and carbonating my own brand name sodas goes though honestly if I have the time I will be making my own syrups.The owner is great. FYI if you want to buy multiple things or more caps go to his website and email him. He can combine shipping and save money. Plus you can get the caps in much larger quantities for less per cap on his website (though oddly this product is not listed on his website)If you want to use a full size co2 tank you will need an adaptor to convert from the cga320 fitting to a paintball sized one. Ideally the pinvalve needs removed. He sells these without the pin valve on his website or you can buy one on Amazon or wherever and modify it.I would also recommend getting a paintball tank with a screw valve (most have pin valves) as this will let you turn off the gas and will protect the fizz giz regulator when not in use. Again the owner of fizz giz sells these. Or you can just get an inline screw valve adaptor (less than 20 on Amazon). Alternatively you can buy a screw valve on Amazon and replace the old valve yourself. This is very difficult however and you will need a vise and strap clamp as they are screwed on super tight. Obviously the tank needs to be completely empty empty before doing this or you will create a projectile and kill someone.

sodastream suckers beware, the hard truth will shock you and have you kicking yourself for all the years you threw away your money. 100$ for sodastream dispenser then 30$ every 2 weeks for a sodastream tank (15$exchange a must at bed bath beyond) twice a month for me (1lb CO2per 2 weeks–i like it fizzy!), 12 times a year= nearly 400$ (or 750$ no exchange) with taxes. OR a single CO2 fillup at a local homebrew shop is 25$ for 10lb. so 1lb sodastream tank 15$ vs 1lb for 2.5$. you choose. i can't forgive myself for throwing away 375$ a year and i couldn't even get it super fizzy like a Fizz Gizz can bc u can agitate the CO2 (shake) thus mixing better in water allowing for more CO2. all the places that have fountain drinks (literally everywhere, gas stations, restaurants) have agitation at the point of dispense which basically vibrates the CO2 and water together thus making it pour fizzy just like shaking the bottle when filling with a FizzGizz. that's much fizzier vs sodastream for virtually no cost, how did i not find this FG b4? luckily buried deep in a homebrew DIY blog comments section was a reference to the FizzGizz, after which i researched and took a chance and made a life changing decision. first was to stop sugary soda and replace with fizzy water years ago, but i finally was fed up with the many problems. but with FG, the most important categories, cost, convenience, space and quality of fizz; easily ticked all those boxes. the only downside is more upfront cost, but you pay for the tank the first time only, like my 10lb aluminum tank was 170$ (or 70$ for steel but most places are trying to phase them out so i didn't want future trouble finding a refill even tho it's only once a year) plus 25$ to fill plus 140$ FG after shipping/tax but that pays for itself in 10months for me, and it's only 25$ a year forever after to refill (still waiting to see how quickly CO2 tank diminishes with FizzGizz but u get agitation & seal of bottle, which is more efficient & doesn't lose CO2 compared with the sodastream scam). i've had 3 diff sodastream dispensers that have broken over the past decade, at 100$ a pop plus 30$ a month for about a decade or more, never again, that's thousands lost. the FizzGizz is robust bc it's basically a plastic banana with a thin tube inside which is inserted into the accompanying valve cap of your sealed water container, roping back to an adjustable regulator that attaches to your desired CO2 container. the only thing that could break is maybe the plastic tubing but that's super easy & cheap to replace & i doubt it even will break. i will be getting a paintball tank for road trips bc then it just fits in a backpack. so score again for never having to worry about replacing my CO2 dispenser. space was found in a kitchen island i have. needed 24” height for the 10lb tank and about 11” width. or use a paintball tank, but i prefer a bigger one bc the cost of CO2 at a gas supply/homebrew is absolute rock bottom vs sporting goods store for paintball refills a bit more, which in turn pales in comparison to retail 30$/lb sodastream which is still cheaper than just buying soda or fizzy water. as far as gas food grade quality, even the big users like coke and pepsi use regular industrial CO2 from a gas supplier; i called around and talked to lots of suppliers. food grade is a thing but it's only a percent different in CO2 purity (99% vs 98%?), and those major brands have been around forever using regular industry grade CO2, plus soda has been made for more than a hundred years and only recently have people suddenly started conscientiously wanting food grade. so if it eases your mind then you can pay a bit more and have a harder time finding your CO2 supply. but i trust a homebrew shop bc they're helping people make their own beer/drinks at home which empirically implies safety anyways. btw make sure you get a cga320 adapter without a pin (just ask mike to add with order, it's as cheap as u can find anyways and u know it'll be the right kind to fit the FG) that way your fizz gizz directly hooks to the treads of an industrial sized tank (5lb & above CO2 tanks?). i like that i can use any plastic soda bottle, not the ones from sodastream (which also cost $). i keep a few bottles full in my fridge, that way they're cold, since CO2 can be concentrated more in cold temps. same with refilling a big CO2 tank, get the tank super cold b4 a refill so the gas supplier can put the maximum amount in. luckily the price stays the same too per lb, so it's not more costly if yours is not cold, bc warm a 10lb tank will only hold about 8lb CO2, but 10lb CO2 if cold. i can understand why folks get a sodastream, it's all shiny and new on a retail shelf and sounds easy (absolutely false if you include constantly replacing tanks aka trips to store for $$, constantly twisting proprietary threaded bottles up into unfriendly female threads and sometimes spilling, needing counter space, loud sounds, on and on, NOT easier and costs u10x the price plus they break often) and they don't have much competition, but hopefully you can see right through the sodascam now and can break that monopoly of misery chain!

Best carbonation kit around. I have several friends that have soda stream, and they definitely like the concept of FiZZ GiZ. They wished they knew about FiZZ GiZ before committing to the other brands. With this contraption, you don't need other company's specialized bottles; a regular plastic bottle will do just fine. Also, you can purchase your own CO2 tank instead of those little ones other companies provide. By getting your own tank, you can do a lot more carbonation with much less costs. I am very happy with this purchase, and proud of myself for taking the time to shop and compare. The owner is very friendly and is happy to answer your questions and provide necessary assistance. I highly recommend this superb product.

I've had my soda rope for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! I had to buy the paintball tank on Amazon, because my local paintball place only carries compressed air tanks. However, they'll fill my 20 oz tank for $8. Something to note is that your paintball tank needs to have an on/off knob. You can get one installed on your tank or you can do like I did (because I didn't realize this until after I filled the tank) and get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N41WAY4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsWe've had so much fun with our soda rope! We've fizzed: water (of course), iced tea, cream soda (with our homemade brown sugar vanilla coffee syrup), lemonade, and those mio-type drink flavorings. We're making our own sparkling cider this weekend, and there are so many different powder drink sticks! I'll be picking up a box of diet dr pepper syrup for my husband's afternoon soda kick. It will be so much cheaper than buying cans!And. Did you know you can get lids to make your own spray whipped cream?Also, the seller is awesome, very communicative and helpful!

I wish I had bought one of these YEARS ago. A long-time non-recovering sodaholic - I should know! I had one of the Sodastream machines when I was in college in the 70's. It was very exciting and I was the only one in the dorm who had one. But it didn't last and broke before I graduated. Decades later, when home soda makers fell into popularity again, my curiosity got the best of me. Over the past decade, I've had the Spärkel, the DrinkMate and then the Aarke. The latter was the best (and costliest) of the bunch. But not one of them yielded the level of carbonation I wanted. I'm convinced what was happening was that I was losing significant amounts of bubblies when transferring the carbonated beverage from the carbonating bottle that came with the machine to the soda bottles I wished to store them in the fridge. A lot of bubbles were escaping when pouring my finished drink from the bottle that came with my machine to the bottles I store in the fridge for later consumption. I don't have the patience (or the time) to go through all the hassle of making a single carbonated beverage just to drink right now. That's like going through all the steps of making lemonade each time I want a glass of lemonade. That's just dumb! I make a whole pitcher that will last a few days. And if I have several guests over, it takes a lot of time to make drinks ONE-AT-A-TIME for everyone. I'm not the type of person to invite you over for cake & make you wait while I bake it. It's just too much hassle. Honestly, I am a creature of convenience. The big soda companies have won me over in this regard. When I'm hot & thirsty, just dying for an icy, bubbly concoction - I don't wanna wait. I'm ready now! The truth is, I honestly think I can make a six-pack of 12-16 oz sodas with my FiZZ GiZ in about the same amount of time I could make a single serving of beverage from any of the soda makers I've bought (and given away) over the years.Another thing I've... Soda makers have gotten bigger over the years. Who has room for more junk on the counter? Most are too dang big to stick in a drawer. I never used them every day. I always end up sitting them in the pantry or a floor-level cabinet because of the height of the machines. I can stick my FiZZ GiZ in the silverware drawer. So, thumb's up for my Soda Rope. For me, it's all about carbonation level and convenience. Mister Fizz gives me both at a fair price. For me the choice is a no-brainer.

This is a very simple to use tool, and it works great. I bought it to replace a soda stream machine and it does a better job and will last a lot longer and be cheaper to use on a large tank. A refill of CO2 on a 20# tank is $13 bucks, and just one soda stream cartridge is $35 plus $14 every time you swap it out. Just do the math on that one..... This soda rope is a far superior choice for getting fizz into your drinks.Update; After using this thing for a while I'm pretty impressed. Since cabination works better when the water is cold, I put a bunch of 16 oz bottles in the fridge, so when I want a fizzy drink, the water is ready and cold. This thing is just 9 different kinds of awesome.

when i first received, i was disappointed that it doesn;t get super fizzy. it DOES though!!! i wasnt doing it quite right and the owner of this company called personally to help me out.you can shake the heck out of it, BUT you dont have do .... push in a lot of CO2 and time will do ALL the work. I just let my filled to bulging bottles sit on the shelf within a couple hours, they are carbonated like crazy. this way we always have some on deck for the next guy! thank you for a product that works reallly well, and is less expensive and more flexible than the other big carbonation systems.take my word for it, we did the math and everything else! If you want a ready diy source for carbonation, buy this up.

Bought for my Dad. Ran through a full tank of gas trying to get it to work. Soda stream is more idiot proof.
