Just so, can co2 cartridges be shipped by air?

CO2 Cartridge. Except for personal medical oxygencylinders, you can only carry an EMPTY compressed gascylinder onboard a plane. To be permitted (in eithercarry-on or checked baggage), it must be clearly visible to the TSAofficer that the cylinder is empty.

Beside above, can you mail fuel canisters? The volume of the canisters cannot be more thanone liter (but multiple canisters may be included inone package). This is not a problem because backpackingcanisters are smaller than one liter in volume. A 450g canister is about 780 ml of fluid for example.Canisters have to be well packaged.

Also question is, can I send drinks through the mail?

Permitted Liquids Nonflammable, nonhazardous liquids are acceptable tomail, if sealed inside a waterproof container. Mark theouter container as containing liquid, so that postal staff areaware of the contents inside. Do not ship liquidssealed with only a friction-top, or push-down,seal.

Are co2 cartridges dangerous?

Inhaling CO2 from a CO2 canister causesdeath due to suffocation. Any inhaled amount stops oxygen fromflowing to the brain. While inhaling either is dangerous,people can mistake CO2 cannisters for nitrous oxidecanisters -- ensuring almost certain death or, at the very least,brain damage.
