Ya, CO2 isn't really at all a "drier gas" since it's a liquid when under pressure.

HPA/compressed air/nitrogen is all the same, and is never in liquid form. And as said, is stored at a much higher pressure for this reason. A CO2 tank's burst disk would blow very quickly if it was filled with compressed air, and I'd imagine that the liquid CO2 would not only harm the seals found in a compressed air tank's regulator, but also the tank itself, and make it weaker.

All in all, don't mix the two.
