Does it allow CO2 to escape?

No, it simply compacts whatever is stored and seals off from any air exchange. There are two "tops", one that fits inside the cannister and slides down onto the coffee or whatever and the other top which is actually on top- and does little.

No. Let me elaborate. I spent some time researching on whether an airtight canister (such as this one) or a canister with CO2 venting was better. I ran across this article (https://agoodkeensavage.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/why-i-stopped-packaging-our-coffee-in-one-way-valves/) that seemed to cement the fact that CO2 venting wasn't necessary since beans only release significant CO2 amounts for a brief time immediately after roasting. Unless you're home roasting and immediately placing them in an airtight canister, I don't think CO2 venting is necessary. Therefore, I think this canister is the best solution.

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.

thank you for the question no the gas Gets released through the vemy within airlock vent at the to. it works great

Do not know. Using it to adapt co2 into Aquarium injection system for live plant photosynthesis.

This bottle's lid is removable and closes securely with a hinge. Like a swing-top Grolsch type bottle. It comes with a removable/replaceable seal that makes it seal tightly (these can be purchased separately). I would not use the bottle without the seal as it would be tightly closing glass on glass. So I would say this bottle may not be what you are looking for to allow for CO2 release.

I use it for my kegorater at homw I love it. It takes the guess work out of the CO2 tank. I'M really glaad I got it.

No. Fire dept says co2 meter in rv will go off if low on oxygen. I Crack vents as in operating manual.

It in fact does. I would check it right away mine came broken and won't seal around the co2

No. CO2 is highly explosive ( source: my local paintball field burns trash and some idiot threw his tank in), so for safety reasons they come empty.

One side of the grips comes off in order for you to put in a CO2 canister but I don't know if the other side comes off.

If you have it screwed down enough, it will depress the button and you will have CO2

I don't think the valve would be precise enough for you to fine-tune the CO2 diffusion.

No, there is no need, the co2 just goes into a compartment, and you twist a little thing at the bottom to push it in.

No, you may be able to let air out while it is conected but not in a specific amount.

No. We have two, 5 gallon kegs in ours and it's a very tight squeeze. The co2 will have to be in the back. It's still a great kegerator though!

It would make a vast decrease in performance, co2 can be compressed in to a liquid so there is allot of co2 available when it expands into a gas. Air cannot be compressed into a liquid in this tank so you will have very little pressure, not even enough for 1 tire.

No exhaust pipe or chimney connection is used so 100% of the heat and combustion by products produced are released into the heated space. So carbon dioxide and water vapor will increase and could become a problem in a tight unventilated space

I use it to make fermented vegetables. It allows the natural gases to escape.
