Has anyone made their own seltzer at home using these
along with a soda syphon? I'm interested in trying one, I sure
spend a lot of money on seltzer.
Thoughts?

As a fellow Seltzerholic, I look at it this way.
The cost of a selzter maker runs about $50.
10 CO2 cartridges run about $7.

So, for the first 365 fills (1 year) the cost comes to:
$50 for the maker plus
36 X $7 for 1 years worth of cartridges (255.50)
= 305.50 for the year.

So 365 / 305.50 = 0.836 per bottle (usually a litre, but with some
brands it is a quart) of soda.

So, it's up to you whether 83 cents per bottle is worth it to you.

If it works that is a major savings for me. I go through roughly
a 12pack of seltzer a day. At 3 bucks a pop, do the math. It
struck me yesterday, man, I didn't realize how much I spent on
the stuff.

I'm going to give it a shot (is that a pun?), if it doesn't work, I'm
out some money. Thanks for the hints.

(I know the are people out there thinking, why don't you just
drink plain water? It's gotta be seltzer for me.)
