[rcrabb22]

I was looking for copper tubing on ICS website and saw they are selling CO2 cylinders for what looks like a good price.

5lb $48 + $10 shipping to my home in Illinois.
10lb $70 + $13.76 shipping
15lb $86 + $18.11 shipping

those are fair prices... I threw down over 60 for my 5#

That is an excellent price. Looks like they messed up though as those cylinders are made in the future. (or it's some weird date format).

I saw that, I hope they typo'ed the manufacture date. 09/09? do do do do (play Twilight Zone theme music here )

Thats a pretty good Price. I paid 100$ for mine at my local Fire extingusher service. They tested and filled it, I just got it filled again after a year and it was 15 bucks.

Definitely a good price (assuming hydro dates are valid and still good). If you have the room, go for the 15#. Most places charge you more for touching your tank, rather then the amount you fill (IE 5# $10, 20#about $12 at my local place). Check out your local supplier and see what they charge; either way, unless you have space restrictions, a bigger tank means less refills.

I come up with a cheaper shipped price from Micromatic.com on the 15lb tank. It's $86.95 + $9 shipping for me there (could vary with zip code). You'll have to pay sales tax in IL though.

If you don't mind scouring craigslist, you can come up with a better deal though. I picked up a 20lb steel tank for $40, which I swapped out for a 20lb aluminum tank (full of gas) for another $22. Then again, there's the extra value of not having to look for one.
