This is about 9 grams short. How did you tell the scales the tare weight of the cylinder?

Did you tare the scale with an empty canister first?

OP probably tared the empty cylinder. There's no way an empty soda stream bottle weighs less than a pound, much less one filled with CO2 - they hold about 14 oz of CO2, or roughly 400g.

Exactly.

I tared the scale with an empty one (or maybe not totally empty to your point).
AwDuck t1_iuhouge wrote
Likely, since they usually come filled with roughly 400g of CO2 from the factory.

Science and math! Or a scale with a tare button and an empty cannister.

I love that everyone came here to tell me I'm wrong, and you're over here defending me with logic.

Deduce the e from your deduce then adduce a t to get deduct then consider using subtract instead and then give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they tared it.

Sodastream is on the Boycott Divest Sanction list of companies who illegally occupy Palestinian land. They are profiting from illegally taking land from Palestinian people.

That'd account for it. Interested to hear what the difference between the empty cylinders is. It's normally stamped on the side.

Good job including that in the post. Look at all the people that assumed you didnt tare the scale 1st and were all assholes because you left out some info? Get fucked bro.

I sometimes buy a few of these at a time and have noticed that they have very inconsistent weights when measured against each other. It’s so annoying! How much is actually supposed to be in these damn things?

Sorry you feel tricked by a tare button, no need to take it out on me.

Emptying one of these to a pure vacuum or even close is going to have God, Boltzmann and the FBI knocking at your door demanding an explanation. And Boltzmann has been dead for 116 years.

There is absolutely no way a soda stream bottle weighs only 9 grams. Probably at least 35-50g.
lipspliff OP t1_iujpg6b wrote
The full bottle weighs approx 6.6 lb or 3kg or 3000g. Just the gas weighs around 400g.
