G'day Sikmrex, I also have done the same thing with My Paslode gun and what you have said used to be the case.
I just rang Mitre 10 (Wife works there) and they say that paslode cylinders are now available on their own, or there is a 3 pak of non genuine cylinders available quite a bit cheaper. When they sourced these cylinders they gave a few to local tradies to test and they all said they were fine. I dont know the brand but "Magnum" comes to mind.
By the way, I wasn't aware you could lift the black top off the cylinder once it was pushed down, might try it with the next one.
Anyway , hope I have been some help.
Cheers Steven.

The framing gun canisters are available but as yet I have not found the smaller angle nailer sizes.

Everyone I have spoken to have not spoken too highly of the Magnum gas!

Sorry If I have mislead You, i will get the Mrs to check it out tomorrow.

thanks Stevenp!

Well, I went into Mitre10 today and yes, the gas bottles for the angled finish nailer are only available with nails, so even if your gas doesn't leak you still finish up with a ship load of nails after the gas has run out through normal usage.
I mentioned to the mire10 bloke that you had not heard very good reports about the magnum canisters and he seemed surprised. He had heard only good things , in fact he gave me a freebie to try.
I reckon that at about $20 for a 3 pak it would be worth a punt and buy a pack and see for yourself. It is certainly better than spending a lot of dough and buying genuine gas and ending up with a squillion nails you may never use.
Cheers......Steven.

Can't hurt. I will give the magnums a go
thanks for your efforts!

Cheers
