Question on canned air

Hi,

If I buy some canned air (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Duster-Compressed-Flammable-400ml/dp/B000MQ7DZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406142484&sr=8-1&keywords=Can+air), will I ever have to buy another can if I use up the 400ml?

If you don't understand me, I'm essentially saying: will it ever run out for casual use, or will I have to buy a new one every now and again (I'll clean my pc case weekly due to lack of dust filters)

Yes, it runs out pretty quickly, one 400ml lasts me 2 clean ups and a bit more.

It's not going to run out from it just sitting around for a few weeks, if that's what you're asking.

You will have to buy another when that one doesn't work. ;)

I don't think you have to clean it weekly, maybe monthly would be fine - I could be wrong

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Yup, those cans are single-use. I bought Datavac's "reverse vacuum", maybe it's not that precise, but still does the job.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

maybe not ideal but i use my air compressor to do some crude clean up. not really precision work but it really blasts any dirt away

Just use an air compressor or a shop-vac (blow, not vacuum) if you have one. Way more effective and free.
