Before you buy a tank, find out if your local co2 supplier fills yours or exchanges theirs .. just my experience

What is the intended use of the CO2 tank? 5lbs really doesn't last that long. Geez, 20 lb CO2 tank doesn't last that long. Also, price to fill a 5 vs 20 lb tank isn't that much (in other words filling a 20 lb tank isn't the price of a 5 lb tank x 4).
Depends on how you use it. 5# will dispense several kegs-for a lot of us that’ll last quite a while.
As far as cost, every fill/exchange I’ve ever seen is done by weight, so a 20# tank is exactly 4x the cost of filling a 5# one, usually~$3/lb
Link?
It’s great to have a back up, because naturally when you need it the most you’ll run out. Murphy’s law.What is the intended use of the CO2 tank? 5lbs really doesn't last that long.

I saw this posted on Homebrewing Reddit and ordered one yesterday. Should be here Monday.
mine will be delivered by tomorrow so I will post pic of stamp. I exchange my tanks at a beverage center and because the guy is lazy and it’s illegal to bring the tank inside I just hold it up outside the glass doors and he just motions for me to leave it by the filled ones. For 35 bucks it’s worth a shotsI went to the site and there was a question about the certification but no answer. If they are out of date they will needed to retested before someone will fill them. I think it cost me $50 for a one day turn around on a tank test and certification. $30 for a few day turn around.
What's why we use a regulator gauge.It’s great to have a back up, because naturally when you need it the most you’ll run out. Murphy’s law.
True, though if one is only using one tank and is frugal like me it needs to be emptied before a refill.What's why we use a regulator gauge.

I just got tank. It is stamped 7/18. Not too bad for price
Be ready it is just the tank... not as pictured with the brass valve.

Mine wasn’t as pictured, but it makes sense for warehousing that the valve goes on last.Many have received these tanks and have been satisfied, if it wasn’t as pictured I’d think many would be crying...instead of celebrating
Are you aware that the needle won't move on the gauge until there is no liquid CO2 left in the tank? At that point, the tank runs out in a hurry.What's why we use a regulator gauge.
