Those canisters that you pick up at a local Computer shop or Staples are actually filled with CO2 in a liquid form.
No, they arent filled with CO2. CO2, when compressed to a liquid state has an operating pressure of about 850-950psi. Those little spray dusters run about 35-50psi. To hold CO2 in a liquid state, you have to have aluminum CO2 bottles, or Steel bottles with a working pressure of 1800 psi with 1500psi burst discs.

I play paintball, I know this.
