Source for NEW CO2 bottle and reg

BCOrchidGuy · #1 03-14-2003, 10:18 PM

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

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.

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

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.
