Product Description
When reliability, consistency, and clean power matter, a 12g CO₂ cartridge becomes more than just a disposable cylinder — it’s the heart of your airgun, inflator, or performance device. Built for versatility, precision, and consistent output, our 12-gram CO₂ cartridges deliver smooth, dependable power shot after shot.
Whether you’re an airsoft enthusiast, a paintball player, a cycling commuter, or a technician working with actuation systems, the 12g CO₂ cylinder is your compact energy source engineered for professional results.
Let’s explore why choosing the right 12g CO₂ cartridge matters, what makes ours stand out, and how you can get the most from every gram of gas.
“12g” simply refers to the net weight of compressed carbon dioxide (CO₂) contained within each 12g CO2 cartridge — 12 grams of pure, pressurized gas. The small steel container acts as a portable power cell that releases CO₂ on demand, propelling BBs, pellets, or air, depending on the device it’s connected to.
A high-quality 12g CO₂ cartridge ensures stable internal pressure, minimal leakage, and consistent performance across multiple temperature ranges.
You’ll find 12g CO₂ cylinders used in a surprisingly wide range of products, including:
Airguns and BB guns: Powering shots with consistent velocity.
Paintball markers: Reliable propulsion for tactical play.
Cycling tire inflators: Quick, portable air supply for on-the-go repairs.
Soda makers and inflators: For beverages or emergency actuation.
Industrial or safety tools: Triggering mechanisms or pressure-based systems.
In each case, the same principle applies — small cartridge, big performance.
Choosing a high-quality 12g CO₂ cartridge directly impacts output consistency, device longevity, and user safety. Reliable cartridges maintain stable pressure, reduce wear on seals and valves, and ensure smooth, uninterrupted operation across different environments.
Our 12g CO₂ cartridges are made from high-grade recyclable steel, designed for strength, durability, and safe handling under high internal pressures. Each unit is precision-engineered, ensuring an airtight seal and a uniform neck opening for reliable puncturing across all standard CO₂-powered devices.
A clean gas fill and rust-resistant surface ensure that no oil or dust interferes with your gear’s internal mechanisms. You get consistent CO₂ purity, which prolongs the life of your seals, valves, and gaskets.
Different applications call for different connection types:
Threaded 12g CO₂ cartridges (standard 3/8-24 thread) provide a secure screw-in fit, ideal for cycling inflators and professional tools.
Non-threaded cartridges fit snap-in systems commonly found in airguns, airsoft pistols, and paintball gear.
Both designs guarantee leak-free operation and stable pressure release. For compatibility, always check your device specifications before purchasing.
Performance consistency is where top-tier 12g CO₂ cartridges truly shine. Our cartridges maintain stable internal pressure from 5°C to 60°C, ensuring smooth shot velocity even in cold environments. Each cartridge delivers clean CO₂ without impurities, reducing variability that cheaper cartridges often suffer from.
Manufactured using a seamless deep-drawing process, each cartridge features a uniform wall thickness that enhances structural integrity under high pressure. This design improves burst resistance and ensures safe operation throughout storage, transport, and usage.
The cartridge neck and sealing surface are engineered to meet precise dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent puncture performance and optimal sealing with CO₂ devices. This reduces gas loss during activation and maintains stable discharge efficiency.
Gas Content: 12 grams ±0.5 g of pure CO₂ (99.999% food grade co2 gas).
Pressure Rating: Up to 900 psi at 25°C.
Material: Seamless steel, zinc-plated exterior for corrosion resistance.
High gas purity means you get more consistent shots, longer shelf life, and no residue left inside your airgun or inflator.

Typical 12g CO₂ airgun cartridges provide:
Around 50–60 consistent shots for a .177-caliber air pistol.
Roughly 40–45 shots for .22-caliber models.
Varies slightly depending on temperature and valve efficiency.
This consistent shot output makes the 12g CO2 cartridge ideal for both casual target practice and professional training.
Each 12g CO2 cartridge is factory-sealed to maintain integrity during storage and transport. The puncture zone is designed for clean piercing, reducing the risk of partial leaks.
Combined with precision threading and surface finish, you get maximum CO₂ utilization per cartridge — no wasted pressure, no early drop-off.
Check Compatibility – Confirm that your device uses 12g CO₂ cylinders (threaded or non-threaded).
Insert Correctly – Place the cartridge in the chamber or adapter following the manufacturer’s orientation.
Pierce Smoothly – Tighten or close the chamber in one firm motion to pierce the seal cleanly.
Check for Leaks – Listen for escaping gas; reseat if necessary.
Use Immediately – Once punctured, 12g CO2 cartridge should be used promptly to maintain pressure.
Store 12g CO2 cartridge in a cool, dry environment (15°C–25°C).
Keep away from direct sunlight or high heat.
Avoid freezing temperatures, which can cause internal pressure fluctuations.
Never store punctured cartridges — always recycle them safely.
Do not attempt to refill or heat 12g CO₂ cartridges.
Dispose of used cartridges through proper metal recycling channels.
Handle with care — pressurized containers should never be punctured manually or exposed to flames.
Check all seals, valves, and O-rings on your device regularly for wear.
All our 12g CO₂ cartridges are 100% recyclable, made from single-piece steel without plastic components. Once depleted, simply place them in your metal recycling bin (following local regulations).
By choosing high-purity CO₂ and recyclable materials, you reduce carbon waste and prevent contamination of your airgun or inflator systems.
We continuously improve our production efficiency to minimize energy consumption and emissions during cartridge manufacturing.
Cleaner gas. Stronger steel. Smaller footprint.
