Just take the regulator off and put 120 PSI in the bottle. That's how I run mine. Works great and never have to try to find a fill.

I just went to a welding supply store and bought an CO2 bottle. It cost just over $100.00 Mostly cost of the original bottle) for initial investment but it lasts me for several seasons. Plus I don't know how many free burgers I've gotten for filling up another racer's bottle. I can only get my bottles up to 900 to 1000 psi but that seems to last quite awhile. I always refill when my car's bottle gets down to 500 to 600 psi. When I hear stories of guys going to the paint ball guys and getting charged anywhere from $10 to $20 for an refill then I consider my $100 investment a bargain. BTW, refills for the big bottle have gone up to around $15.00.
