We've just released, this season, the Volo Kite Pump.
Its a compressed air or CO2 Kite Pump.
The pump uses refill able paintball tanks and an inflator designed for kite pumping.
One 20 Oz tank fills about 3 12M kites. We've just added a new tank to the line up that includes a tank gauge. Usually CO2 tanks don't have any way to tell the amount of liquid CO2 in the tank.
Check it out at

Let me know if there are any questions.

how many times can you inflate your kite off that? say a 10-12 meter kite. I found my 5 lb tank was good for 5-8 pumps.

On a 20 Oz CO2 tank you can get about 3 fills of a 12M kite. We are using a venturi valve - which sucks in air with the CO2 as the kite fills, so you get about a 40% gain in kite filling capacity with the venturi. The pump can fill the leading edge of a 10M kite in under 30 seconds with no risk of harm to the bladders. It pretty cool - I'm working on getting some more time trials videos loaded up to the site this weekend (looking like light wind for the weekend here - so well probably be in the office).
