Never heard of that brand, but if you are talking about an old BCD with a CO2 cartridge, most people just empty it, and leave the empty cartridge in place.

Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
Guess we need clarification - AP Valves does carry a "Buddy Trimix" wing with an "auto inflator/emergency air source," which is available on several of their models...

almost all ap valves bcd's come with a 0.4l cyclinder/crack bottle fillable from the main cylinder as an emergency buoyancy source. a blanking plate is available - call ap valves and they'll sort you out - very helpful people. the autoinflator airsource thing is an airII style inflator regulator.
