I have a 20 cu ft tank and have never had to refill it. Still has about 1000 psi in it. I think it was 1800 when fresh.

*Always* close the main shutoff when not in use. Regulators typically have slow leaks, otherwise i'd probably still have 1700+ PSI in the tank.
 
beersk (and others who go to a minute or so), are you choking back, or running it full on?
I definitely don't run it full-on. I run it so there's light movement on the surface of the wort and move the wand around with some stirring.

I also have a 20 cu ft O2 tank and haven't looked back (got tired of paying $10/ea for the disposable red cylinders). For safety reasons I shut off the main valve and safety chain it when not in use.
