Diving into pressurized CO2 for the first time… clearly I have no idea

As intimidating as this seemed for me, here’s how it really went. Not sure if anyone else felt like the first time was the feeling of brining in some sort of explosive hazard into their house but I sure did.

Was I the only one that was really nervous about co2? Like i was real paranoid driving the tank back home thinking it was leaking every time I made a turn 🤦‍♂️

Oh and I already broke my glass diffuser. Those suck, make sure to get a quality one please

At the risk of sounding condescending, I don't understand why so many smart people don't read instructions. As you could imagine, with over 30 years as a home builder, I have installed thousands of lights, fans, doors, sinks, etc. I always read instructions because if you break something it costs time and money. If you get lucky and don't break it it still costs more time to figure it out than it does to read the instructions.

Ah no for sure and I did have to look at it a couple times because it was bare minimum. A few pages with pictures on how to set it up. No details on adding or removing pieces. Have you ordered an intricate gadget from China? Chances are the instructions were similar to what was provided here as well.

@@JKFishKeeping You are absolutely right. Bad grammar and limited instructions are to be expected for sure. They do have a tendency to copy other products. In that case I usually download the instructions from a similar (non Chinese) item. I wasn't picking on you. I just saw you struggling, which I have done.

I appreciate it
