ABS Nitrogen filled canisters and pull handles need to be exchanged for new ready to go canisters / handles each time as far as I know. If you have a ABS try googleing exchange locations. Wellers in Kamas exchanges them. The BCA canisters are refillable with air at most scuba shops and a handful of ski shops. Some REI's refill the BCA air canisters.

The UAC had a bunch of expired ABS cylinders and triggers last year. I tried activating them out of curiosity, thinking that even an under-pressure cylinder would be good for boy scout demos. 7 out of 7 pyrotechnic triggers failed to activate. Please be diligent about replacing expired triggers!
