As it is almost impossible to find Alcotec
carbon, all seem to be sold out!!
Would Still Spirits Z filter carbon be
suitable to refill the cartridge??

of new carbon filters is stupid.

Seagull beat me to it, I ordered some last week and as far as I can tell it's exactly the same as the Alcotec product

Wait until the ceramic filter needs replacing and you have to sell a Grand child into slavery to pay for it...
Somewhere in this topic is a post of the bottom of my ceramic filter falling off, allowing me to clean it up and fill with new carbon.
Currently that is still going strong and doing what it should.

Sometimes the equpment that this hobby calls for, or is aided by can seem expensive, sometimes there is a work around, make it yourself etc, servicing is usually low cost.
It is mostly fun though.
