        if ya just need a couple you could hit up your local StarBucks Barista (or independent coffee-cafe).

          i worked at starbucks for a short time and they were super tight on the nitrous inventory-the chargers could only be accessed by supervisors and we werent allowed to sell them. maybe an independent would be easier

            Be careful! Cream chargers are NOT the same as the chargers for soda siphons, and soda chargers make nasty-tasting whipped cream.

              Ur right. one is Carbon Dioxide (for soda water) the other is Nitrogen.

              bust with the Whip-Its!!!

                Whip-its with CO2 are significantly less fun... but the burps are ground-shaking!

                  That's nitrous oxide in the whipped cream chargers.

                Ain't that the truth! As I found out the hard way. Uugh! There seems to to be many good deals on line. A couple of dist. even advertise 'Discreet Shipping'.
