Can I “overcharge” the dispensers with Nitrous Oxide chargers and whipped cream?
The dispensers are typically intended to hold between ½ to 2-½ pints of liquid and 1 to 2 chargers, depending on the size of dispenser bottle. Your yield of finished product is between 2 and 6 times the amount of liquid you use. If you “overfill” or “overcharge” the dispenser, you risk losing liquid through the gasket at the lid. Typically, the pressure in the dispenser bottle will attain the same pressure as the charger and you will not be able to add more gas, but we recommend you only charge the bottles with one or two charger cartridges, perhaps 3 in a quart size whipper. If you are using liquids with gelatins or other stabilizing agents, you might need more than nitrous oxide whip cream chargers to achieve the foam.
