Well, if you contact the fizgizz guy you can get it fit for different CO2 tanks depending on what is available to you. It can be fit for 5lb home-brewing type tanks, or paintball-type tanks. To find out if paintball-type tanks are refilled in Hawaii, call the places that might do it (sporting goods stores, specialty paintball places (if any) and ask if they offer the service. Check with any restaurant supply places or breweries, etc to see if you can get 5lb tank refills.I'm not positive what metal the nozzle is for sure, but it looks like brass to me. I'm not sure why that would affect you, though - the nozzle doesn't touch anything but the adapter cap.

It appears to be a hard plastic. As for CO2 cartridges, they can be purchased online via Amazon or found in most kitchen type specialty stores.

On my container the bottom line - in blue - says aluminum free. I do not know if there are more variations of the product.zoom in on the container if you can and see if that is what it says on the item you are deciding to purchase. Hope that helps !

I just checked and mine is steel. This is a really nice spray nozzle. Very comfortable to hold and use.

The stainless steel encompasses the aluminum. It is usually only for heat transfer purposes. .. I purchased this.. still going great

You can use aluminum check out any brew forums! I'd like to drive a BMW instead of a Ford but I can't afford that either.

The co2 cartridge goes in to the magazine it saves alot of space. The body is all metal and the magazine is all metal which is amazing. Hope that helps.

My friend, unfortunately, I can not resposnder the material used in the machine, but I believe it is the aluminum coil. I did not detect any abnormal variation of the indices in tests carried out in the water of the aquarium.Fernando Atvars...

It aint aluminum cuz it melted at around 300'F. Not lead, cuz toxic. My guess is some bismuth / antimony eutectic alloy - but have not tested. But the part came, and fixed my pressure cooker !

The entire can is aluminum inside and out. It works well. You have to pump it to build pressure before use.

Most of the gun you are asking about is mostly plastic (main body, handle, etc) The only metal parts are the nozzle tube, the aluminum block it connects to inside the main body, the can connector, and the control rod inside the dispenser tube. Good maintenance should let this gun last quite a while.....I had one work flawlessly for 3 years......sparing use of cleaner and only clean tip with fingernail or credit card - type material is suggested

I have had sheet pans made of both, but recently decided I don't like aluminized steel. It rusts! I'll stick to aluminum from now on.

If avoiding aluminum is important to you, you may want to know that the boiler in this model is made of aluminum as well. I couldn't find this info anywhere and finally e-mailed Cuisinart directly. After several days I finally got a reply.

Seems to be a combination of stainless and aluminum. I was a little leery when I ordered it but the dang thing has surprised me. We have 5 pomegranet trees (which is why I ordered it) and 8 orange trees. I have been crushing both for weeks now and the machine is still as smooth as the first day. My only small complaint is finding just the right bowl to catch the juice. But after that small hitch--smooth sailing! Good luck!

If you are asking about recycle the aluminum for saving the environment, I don't. It is not economical feasible for anyone in the developed country to recycle the capsule. It made for one time use, so You can't reuse the capsule.

Break Free CLP is silicone. That means it's one of the most inert, non-flammable and non-corrosive substances made. In short, it's fine for your air gun. I will however, advise you to look lubrication and cleaning procedures up in your manufacturer's catalog, because using some product other than recommended can void your air gun's warranty. I know it's hard to "read the directions" but it really can pay off!
