Yes, the regulator designed for large tanks is not compatible with the
fitting on the little paintball tanks. I've not seen any adaptor "ready
to use" but have seen people build adaptors (fitting for the tank, some
plumbing bits, careful, you are working with high pressure).

of any sort and could not find one. So I kind of left that project
dead in the water. I also do not know if the 20oz canister will
provide enough pressure to even register on the regulator.

The pressure is the same as the large tanks. CO2 is stored under
pressure as a liquid (that is why it makes a nice paintball propellant,
liquid means a lot more stuff in the tank). Liquification pressure
depends on temperature, but is, IIRC, 600psi - 800psi at normal room
temperatures.
