Yeah, wow, I can understand there not being a place to fill it in town then, but you'd think there'd be something within a couple hours drive. Three weeks to a fill is .. well .. well, what can I say, I'd consider that unacceptable.. but I guess you work with what you got. I agree with Scav, I think you should get a 70lb bottle for your main and then use a 10lb or 5lb bottle as the spare.

That's actually what I do, I have two cylinders myself because I thought the 1 to 2 day turnaround for my fills was too long

And the real irony is I'm not even running a reactor right now. I've been dosing instead. Damn thing keeps leaking, it's driving me crazy. I've been contemplating ditching the reactor altogether when my new tank comes up and just go with the Balling method or a derivative. But, that's another topic altogether.

Sorry to hear it's such a hassle in Powell River. I honestly thought P.R. was sort of the nearest major centre for a lot of those coastal hamlets. But when I was looking for you last night, I agree, I saw basically nothing in the town of Powell River itself. I found places in Qualicum Beach though .. You'd think there'd be something that could do better than 3 weeks. I guess all the restaurants/fast food places probably just have a truck come in once per week loaded up with cylinders, coming in from the L.M. maybe...
