you cant dose the right amount of CO2 because you squirt it in and it diffuses.

buy a drop checker to check how much you will need to dose

They are OKish for small tanks, but it's hard/impossible to regulate the CO2 properly, meaning most tanks will be getting less CO2 than is optimal, and they require you to be there to actually squirt the thing.

Yeast set ups require less effort and are more reliable IMO.

Then there's finding replacement canisters for it...which can e found at some LFS but will end up costing more than a yeast set up fairly fast.

IMO no CO2 is better than something inconsitant like this.
