4lb or 5lb co2

[Kaiborg12]

I see i can get a 4lb C02 cannister for 20 dollars less then a 5lb is it worth it or should i just pay the extra money? sorry for all the lame questions but i just want to get the best set up possible!

Unless you know of a handy filling station that doesn't insist on doing tank exchanges, I'd definitely opt for the 5 pounder. For that matter, if you don't have a "fill while you wait" station lined up, be aware that you'll be waiving "Bye Bye" to your shiny new tank on the first exchange...

Cheers!

Yep, I had a nice shiny aluminum 5lb CO2 tank and was kind of horrified when I exchanged it and got back a 20 year old slightly rusty steel tank.

go big, a larger tank is never something to regret getting.

I would go with the 5 as you can exchange it at a welding shop. I guess it all depends on your filling options but I don't have a fill while you wait location and I don't think I could exchange a 4lb.

If you can I would go with a 15 lb, that lasts me an entire year and it costs about the same to fill.

I think I can get a used 5 lb tank here for around $20. Are you shopping for new or used? Used is usually very cheap, but they sometimes look crappy, but if it sits inside the refrigerator where nobody can see it then who cares.
