It will gum up the works, and the internal parts are almost impossible to clean
out, leaving the potential for exposure to nasty germs. It is a much better idea
to add the carbonated water to juice or concentrate.

You might want to try it out first before shooting it into a glass of juice, or
booze, because they really shoot.

I found the gas cartridges to be a little pricey in grocery stores, but a fraction
of those prices in restaurant supply stores.
