Source for NEW CO2 bottle and reg
 
Anyone got a good source for the above items?

Air Liquide wants $169 for a 15Lbs bottle, thats the smallest they have, but they do the straight trade for fills, no hydro tests etc..

Best price I can find on a regulator is $80, that doesn't seem to be to bad.

Thanks for any input folks,

Doug.

I like Tius' stuff for regulators and needle valves. If/when I get a new bottle, I'm gonna get one of them fancy aluminum ones!! $159 @J&L

Thanks Brad, my lfs says they can get me CO2 bottles at cost so I will probably do that but they are 5lbs, I was kind of hoping for a 10lbs bottle.

I wouldn't go less than 10, preferably more. And I owe Titus a "T" I missed in his name :D

Thanks for the input I sent Titus a PM and got a reply, I agree it looks like his prices are reasonable.

Trying to find the right tank though.....

Mainland welding in Surrey(Just over the Patullo bridge) has decent prices on bottles. I paid about $70.00 for a 5lb with the first charge free.

Wow thats a great price. Thanks I will look them up.

Hey,
I just wanted to ask, how come nobody uses the CO2 bottles that you can get from Coca Cola or other pop dealers??

Christy :)

I'm not sure they are the same fittings Christy, and I have been thinking of renting one, have to see how it goes.

That's what I have Christy. I actually got it used, so I don't rent it but it works like a charm.
