Title: co2 setup questions
Post by: noahcw on January 13, 2020, 02:09:06 PM
Hi everyone, I recently bought a co2 starter kit from big als and am very excited to have it set up. However, I noticed it does not come with a solenoid or a way to automate it's on/off cycle. Would there be another way to do this?

Thanks everyone!

You can buy those separately on amazon,
Or even big als.


Which kit did you get?

You would need a solenoid similar to this and there are even pictures to show you how to connect it.
