CO2 on Long Island

Hey does anybody know of a good place to get a CO2 refill on Long Island? Preferrably around the western suffolk/eastern nassau area?

I use Long Island Soda Systems on Lincoln ave in Holbrook. They charge $15 to fill your CO2 (5 lb.). If you don't have your own bottle, they will take a $100 security from you. If you do, they will just exchange your bottle for one of their full ones.

I go to Long Island Soda Systems as well. Good place.

Clinton Welding on jericho turnpike in Jericho (right next to home depot). I go there because they offer refills instead of swaps for both co2 and beer gas. They also have Saturday hours (9 to 12).

I use Accurate fire systems on franklin ave in franklyn square.

I have used Airweld in Farmingdale. $18 fill or swap but can't always do fill on site. I've left it for them and picked up next day. Last time I went to Clinton (see above post) $15 and filled immediately. I bought a second 5lb tank, so immediate fill is not critical and I can use it for my portable kegerator. Good luck.

Triweld in bay shore. It was around 15. They filled my tank on the spot.

there is a place on new south road in hicksville. just south of the train tracks on the east side. blanking on the name, used them when i had a kegerator.

any updates

I got my first fill from LI Soda Systems who have apparently since moved (not very far down the block). Last I was there it was $12 for a 5lb, $18 for a 10, $25 for a 20, and if the hydro is out of date, it's $35 and they send it out (I think to Ken-Mar below); pretty sure it's cash only. They only do fills Monday mornings until about 1pm sometimes a touch later, otherwise, they'll do swaps for you. When I brought them my new tank, the guy filling it gave me a nylon crush washer to go with it. Nice.

Ken-Mar Fire Extinguisher in East Northport is practically the exact same price-wise. However they fill during their normal hours (M-F 8am - 4:30pm IIRC), hydros are $25 and they do them on-site (they need about a day to do them), and they don't do swaps but will refill while you wait. They take credit but prefer cash. Best part about going to Ken-Mar? You can literally see Karp's Hardware and Homebrew Supply from their building.

I use clinton welding as well and I am definitely a fan. American compressed gas in hicksville would only swap tanks and that seems to be the case with many of the places. I am in no way trading my new aluminum tanks for a P.O.S. 20 year-old steel tank. Clinton fills it on the spot for $15 flat and the guys there are nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place.

Local welding shop only does 5lb tanks and not the 2.5 I got with my kegerator. Called up liss and they sound aces. Have cornys too apparently. Anyone grab those from them?

Yeah, I've bought 7 kegs from them in the past. Last time I was there I bought 3. They had about 15 in the back and there were only about 5 of them I would consider. The rest were pretty nasty with large dents or dings and broken handles. They looked really beat up. The price is great though. $25 each or 5 for $100. If you can find 5 that is

Thanks for the help. Grabbed 2 cornys with all the fittings and a distributor with some line and clamps. Paid a little over $100 for everything and now I'm set. Anyone on Long Island this is a good spot.

Can you, or anyone, please confirm this location?

I found a place called Island Soda in Holtsville not Holbrook, but it's not on the same road. I also found a Long Island Soda Systems in Patchogue, but again, completely different road.

I got my hands on a 20lb for $10 but I need to get it tested/swapped. Any help would be appreciated.

Long island soda systems moved from holbrook to Patchogue, just east of 112, south of montauk hwy. On a small road right off montauk.

You're awesome. Thanks.

Thought I’d update this thread since I just used to try Clinton, the shops still there and I’d highly recommend. $15 full for 5lbs very friendly.
