Canister injection, cylinder reactor? 

Why David, I do belive you are becoming more eclectic in
your views! :-)

The great thing about canister and cylinder reactor
(especially external) methods is that, if you don't clean
them right away, it doesn't matter much,; the CO2 injection
still works. they are very tolerant that way.

Good luck, good fun,
