Simple. Nothing to it:

Compressed CO2 is used in place of air from a pump to fill the tire,
to save effort and time, but costs money and requires you to carry
enough CO2 cartridges for any repairs you expect.

The injection stuff, often named "Slime", is just stuff you put in
through the valve in hopes of sealing a minor leak without having to
dismount the tire and patch or replace the tube.

A product that combines both items has existed for many years now,
usually called "fix-a-flat", in an aerosol can, sold mostly for
automotive use. CO2 inflators and Slime have been around while too.

CO2 is only to be used to get home. CO2 affects the rubber from your tire.

What does the CO2 do to the rubber?
