3-Pack of Fizz Giz Soda Maker Caps for Home Carbonation

One of my New Year's resolutions was to cut my high fructose corn syrup intake down to almost nil. Soda is my biggest problem so I started researching the various make-your-soda-at-home products. While some people liked the big name-brand product, I found the price a little daunting and it didn't seem like it was going be useful when I was at work or out somewhere, which is where I drink the most soda. While researching, I came across this fizz giz gadget and decided to give it a try. The price was affordable and the product is portable. Also, I did not want to get tied into purchasing a specific brand's expensive CO2 cartridges because their product only lets you use theirs. I wanted to SAVE MONEY besides cutting out the HFCS and this was a comment in the reviews on that product that people didn't think they were actually saving money making their own soda. The fizz giz uses standard CO2 cartidges that can be refilled. This "gadget" is great. It is very easy to use, even for someone as non-mechanically inclined as myself. Insert the CO2 cartridge, screw on the bottom and it is ready to go. I can put some juice or a powdered drink packet in a water bottle out of a machine and giz fizz it very easily. Its actually a little fun, just make sure you have your fizz giz cap on tight when you carbonate! The carbonation actually makes the flavored water taste different and you can control the intensity of the carbonation. Over the past week, I have found that I like some flavored waters more carbonated than others. It is so easy to use that I have not bought a soda from a machine since I got my gadget in the mail. I just have kept refilling my water bottle with cold water. I highly recommend anyone who is exploring making your soda at home to purchase this product instead because I love mine. The seller is also very customer service oriented because he sent me an email with tips for using the fizz giz with a video attachment. I have been an Amazon Prime member for a few years and buy lots of products. This is the only time I have ever been sent an email by a seller regarding my purchase, unless there was a problem.

You know, I have read a number of reviews and am honestly baffled that there are any complaints. The design and use of this valve cap is genius. I would like to share what I have and how it works so others might benefit. I love carbonated drinks and have been looking for a way to fizz my water and various juices. After scouring the web, YouTube, and reading a bunch, I was resigned to the fact that I would either have to build a carbonation unit using a tire air valve, or purchase a SodaStream and only be able to carbonate water alone...not juices like Fizz Gizz. When I found Fizz Gizz' website, I was first impressed at all the information he provided. Not only did he explain the mechanics of carbonation, the differences between his product and others, but also demonstrated how to make one of your own...without buying his product. I went ahead and bought (June 2012) the CO2 carbonation cartridge unit and (THIS NEXT PART IS IMPORTANT) a FIZZ GIZZ Downstream Hardware for a conventional CO2 tank and pressure regulator (I bought a 20LB CO2 tank), and five of the white valve caps and five of the black ones (I always like to have extra in case I lost it or one failed). Although the hand-held carbonation unit worked/works fine, I liked the notion of having continuous, uninterrupted carbonation, and that's why I bought the FIZZ GIZZ Downstream Hardware for a conventional CO2 tank and pressure regulator. I literally have NONSTOP extremely carbonated seltzer water, or NONSTOP extremely carbonated juice/any liquid. With SodaStream you only get to carbonate water and add your flavoring to the carbonated water. My Fizz Gizz let's me carbonate water or different juices. Of the ten total caps purchased, eight remain in the drawer unused. Why you ask? Because the two caps I started off using are still working perfect to this day. Keep in mind I am constantly using them every day, carbonating water and juices for the family. It just works! Perfectly at that! If I have ever had any questions, my emails have been answered within an hour. I can only say that the FIZZ GIZZ Downstream Hardware and valve caps have been one of the most frequently used and reliable items I have purchased for my kitchen and I am thoroughly pleased. Don't hesitate to buy the caps, valves, hardware, or anything for that matter. It simply works! Regards, Eric
