   Yes. Just search for "CO2 inflator" on Amazon. They use "16g threaded   
   cartridge".   
      
   The kind of CO2 cartridge for air gun is 12g, non-threaded.   
      
   CO2 inflators are practical for bicycle tires because of the compact   
   light weight to carry in your pocket. A hand pump is too tedious. It is   
   not practical for cars and trucks because you can use electric air pump.   
   One 16g CO2 cartridge may not be enough to fill a flat car or truck   
   tire. Topping up, maybe.
