I know AAA Fire Protection in Seattle Wa on 3rd avenue north does CO2 fills.  They also sell 5&10 lb aluminum american made cylinders..

Any welding supply can fill your tank. I recently went to a paintball shop.

Wouldent you rather have food grade vs industrial grade CO2?

[curtdogg]

Industrial c02 is 99.0 percent pure. FDA requires "Food grade" to be 99.90 percent pure. To be "food grade" the gas undergoes 1 more test than the industrial stuff. To me it doesn't matter. I'm sure there is a diffrence of opinion on this forum.

Airgas is another good option.

In my experience they only exchange bottles. Thats more expensive than just a refill.

Yes, it's exchange only (at least at the one I go to).  I think it's $16 or $18 to swap a 10 lb. tank.

Not enough for me to care and I have found at least two refill places that do not give proper fills. I trust airgas and praxair. Also I never need to hydro the tanks, at least the locations I use don't charge me.

They quoted me $30 for a 5lb tank.
Maybe I'll try the food grade and see if there is a diffrence.

That's madness. I pay $16 for 10lbs. 20 would be $22

FWIW, I have not had good luck with AirGas here in VT. They really gear towards commercial accounts, so a local Joe like me would get charged an arm and a leg for a swap, and they don't offer to fill at all. I think they quoted me something crazy like $50 for a swap AND I had to use their tank. Luckily both LHBS's that are near me offer exchanges for $15-18, so I do that. I had to give up my shiny new tank tho, so I recommend making peace with that now...

That's bonkers.

Are airgas locations independently owned? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause such a varied price experience.
