Pet bottles force-carbonation

I use to prime my PET bottles with dextrose and carbonation is usually good. My last batch did not carbonate well (for reasons that I am investigating...), I will fix this, but my question is about other ways to carbonate my PET bottles.

I'm thinking about kegging in the future, but I don't want to buy everything right now. So could I buy the following :

  • 5lbs CO2 tank
  • a regulator
  • PET bottle carbonation cap like this one

Then, I could fill my PET bottle with CO2. But how does it work? Is it reliable? Can you guide me on the process?

Thanks,

Yes you can get a ball lock attachment for plastic bottles, then force carbonate as you would a keg. 12-15psi for a few days.
