Ultimately, I think the first two just didn't want to touch it as they did not understand what I meant when I said "avalanche airbag." Note - this was in the Bay Area.
Regardless, $3 is a great deal for clean, dry air. So if you test fire your bag, I suggest going the SCUBA route and just say paintball adapter for the fill.
