A method of filling a gas canister with pressurized or liquified gas from a canister filling machine may comprise inserting a valve of a gas canister into an interior space of an adapter, through an opening of the adapter that is shaped to enable insertion of the valve, the adapter enabling a fluidic connection of the gas canister valve to a filling port of the filling machine, and comprising at least one channel that is configured, when the valve is inserted into the opening, to conduct pressurized or liquified gas from the filling port to the valve, the valve comprising: a canister port facing an interior of the gas canister and at least one exterior port that opens laterally to a longitudinal axis of the valve for facilitating inflow of the gas into and outflow of the gas out of the canister when the valve is in an open position, and to prevent the inflow or the outflow when the valve is in a closed position; and filling the gas canister with the pressurized or liquified gas while maintaining the valve in the open position.
