I just received my second Co2 tank and I have a spare regulator. I want to setup a "utility" Co2 tank. Thinking I could grab some sort of air gun wand type thing to try purging carboys, kegs ect. Will also be handy to have a second supply of Co2 when/if my keezer tank runs out unexpectedly.
I guess I could simply dangle some air hope and open the regulator ball valve, but was thinking an airgun might be nice. Anyone have a setup like this?
 
A wand isn't really necessary for Corny kegs, because you can just use the out port on the keg and push CO2 to the bottom with the draw tube.

For carboys, if you have the removable ball lock connectors, you can just remove it and dangle the line down in the bottom of the carboy and accomplish the same thing.

You could use a Beer Gun (bottle filler) as well, but it seems overkill.
