I only got a full 5kg with new valve from him lately and he said €10 regardless of tank size

If it's portability you're looking for then consider LE's suggestion above, but at a cost.
Consider refilling Sodastream cylinders, there is an adapter available that couples on to a 6kg CO2, then you can use rukkus's regulator above.

Unfortunately not but ty Mr Hoppy.I have a co2 charger setup(DIY) but it takes the threaded CO2 bulbs not the non threaded type like in the home brew shops which is proving the difficulty. ;D

If you are looking for a handy co2 supply grab one of these http://www.malzmuehle.eu/Beer-line-and-CO2-Accessories/CO2-cylinders--regulators--connectors/regulators-beer-brew-beer-beer-accessories-malt-yeast-hops-homebrewing-/beer-brew-beer-beer-accessories-nrw-malt-yeast-hops-homebrewing-regulator-.html?XTCsid=1c6c978de6122b4f85e20ed3cd0a3d9c and a sodastream bottle from argos. I always have one as a spare. If you run out just run into argos. Simples

Rukkus cheers for that but dayum that is expensive.I have two CO2 tanks i get refilled from Munster CO2,unfortunately both are now empty.I also have a keg charger for backup to my backup tank,this charger takes threaded 8-16gr co2 bulbs unlike the chargers sold in the HBS here which use unthreaded.I don't know when i can get to Cork again to get the two main tanks refilled so i am looking for a handful of threaded 16gr co2 bulbs in the meantime to keep the keg charger going. ;D

The idea behind the sodastream bottles is more along the lines of always being able to get gas easily by popping into argos or somewhere that does sodastream. Great in an emergency. I have a 2kg tank I use for my main setup and the sodastream as a portable extra and backup

I have a 6kg tank as main tank and 2kg tank as backup,my main tank leaked on me and my backup was emptier than i thought and that is now empty too.I hear ya on the sodastream setup and i will look into it today,all i was sayin was i already have a smaller keg charger right now that i need threaded bulbs for.That said the soda stream bottle may be the better alternative to that in the long run as backup to the backup,however at nearly 60.00 euro that regulator is way too expensive and would be redundant most of the time so would be a waste of money,if there was an adaptor that would connect my normal regulator to a sodastream bottle then that is what i would get;D
