Have you all noticed the 8g cartridges from Asia are coming in light or no gas at all? If you read the reviews, they say the same thing and over several sellers and a couple of brands (the silver ones) They do say they are "overstocked".
I just bought 2 cases (600x2) and when weighing the 50 cart boxes they seem to average about 4g (net) per cartridge. Some are full, some are empty, some are somewhere in between but overall in a case of 600, they average 4g per cart.
50 empties plus the box weigh a bit over 1200g. They advertise 8.3g, the box says "up to 8.2" but the industry standard is 8g so say 400g per box. It should be 1600g times 12 (boxes in a case) is 19200g. The empty box weighs 394g for a total of 19594g for a case. That as a tad more than 43 pounds per case assuming everything was perfect.
I think I may set up a scale near my door and when the delivery service shows up, I will refuse delivery if it is less than 41-42 pounds.
OTOH, if the price is right, maybe you do want to tolerate light ones. Just understand what you are buying.
