DOH.... sorry I was thinking they would be the same as the bottles/tanks the syrup comes in....

That would be kinda messy wouldn't it?? ;)

hmm.. messy...

If you want to purchase a new tank I got mine from KMS Tools in Coquitlam by the new Ikea. Just make sure they know what it is being used for, they have to special order them with the proper fittings. The only place I found locally that would fill my bottle and not do a trade is Air Liquide just off Marine Drive in Vancouver. I cannot remember the actual street they are on. It costs $20 with tax for a 5, 10, or even 15 pound bottle to fill with co2, I think.

Where I work I have an Air Liquide right around the corner, plus another place I can get my clear acrylic for projects, plus another plastics place that sells lots of scrap acrylic real cheap...

The name escapes me at the moment but there is a fire extinguisher place in New West that recharges C02 bottles without exchange. Cost me 15.00 for a 5lb bottle. they are on 12 street.

I live just up from that place, thanks for the heads up.

The place Scott pointed out actually does the filling though, I think the place you're talking about sends them out.

Thanks Troy I will look into that. CO2 fills shouldn't be a problem, I will remember to ask that when I phone around.... The GOOD thing with Air Liquide is they swap our your tank BUT you will never have to pay for a hydrostatic test, and you will never have to replace your tank because the hydro tests take a week.... thats cool.

Just a heads up for anyone who is interested. I called KMS and they quoted me a price of $69.95 for a CO2 Regulator I packed up my son and drove out, I couldn't find it so I asked for help. The sales man told me the cheapest CO2 Reg they have is $89.95 when I complained and told them I just called in the sales man said "Oh I thought you meant an Argon Reg" anyway with some arguing and complaining I got the reg for $69.95....

If you are looking for a reg make sure you are clear you want a CO2 Regulator, my understanding is that the price difference is mainly because of the fittings.
