They want HOW MUCH?

[DeeLee2013]

So, the local welding supply wanted $95 for a 5# CO2 tank + $19.99 for a fill up and each refill thereafter. I may be mistaken, but that sounds a little on the high side to me... The $19.99 for a refill I can handle; but almost a Franklin for the tank alone?!

Anyone else care to share what they pay?

Actually doesn't sound too bad price wise...You may be able to do a little better but not a whole lot,that tank will last quite awhile too when completely full depending how much use you intend on getting out of it...

Getcha sleeves wet fish tank people!

yes, but when the tank runs out the refill is only $19.99. What I do is trade in the old tank for another. The $95 is your tank deposit and you only pay that the first time.

So do you have to buy their tank to get that price? If not, then a quick Amazon search shows a 5# tank for only 65$, free ship.

Nice find Brian...

That's about the same price as at my shop. $80 for the tank $18 for refills.

Maybe it's just me, I got a paintball co2 regulator system. $40 for a 20oz tank and $15 for refill at Dicks Sporting Goods.

$15 for 20oz refill = $0.75 / oz
$18 for 5lb refill = $0.22 / oz

Quite a big difference there

I missed the part about the bottle only being 5 pounds lol. Still that seems high for a little 5lb.

Guess I was just dealing with sticker shock, lol. Not many other places that carry it around here, so they do have a bit of a CO2 monopoly.

I do have to buy their tank to get the $19.99 refills, but again not a bad price for that part of it.

So, guess I'll save my birthday Franklin to get the tank and a first fill ?

Thanks for the answers everyone!

It must vary by location. Mine is a bit more than that.

I bought my five pound tank on eBay for about $65 and get refills for $10 here in Portland.

I had a lot of trouble trying to find a place that did refills and not swaps.

In denver at the Fire Safety downtown only 6$ for a #5 refill and I got the tank for 60$ free shipping on amazon. Do yourself a favor and buy the tank on Amazon and look for your local fire safety.
