How much does it cost you for your CO2?

[frolickingmonkey]

With tax, $17.22 for a 10# swap at Central Welding Supply here in western Washington.

I get my 20# co2 tank filled for $8 from a vendor of mine. They are an industrial/medical gas supplier. The huge price break comes from the fact that I buy hundreds of oxygen cylinders from them a year! It used to be free, but I now have two(2) 20# co2 tanks and a 20# n2 tank and I don't want to abuse my vendor

^^^
I'm in the same boat, one of welding supply customers gives me an employee discount cost + 5%. I got a 20lb & 5lb.Co2 and a 20 lb propane filled for $16.

I pay $20 for 5 lb at the local welding shop. I'm in the SF Bay Area though

i just put some in my tank today i asked for 20.00 worth, & got 10lb so thats 2 bucks a pound.

$16.35 for a 5# swap

 

[CodeRage]

5lbs 13$ for an exchange or I can pick my tank up the next day.

I went to Ace and they quoted me $30 bucks. Reflexively I shouted out a good and hearty 'holy sh!t' and had to explain to the guy why. "Well thats what the going rate for paint ball tanks"

I paid $22 for a 20# exchange at home depot. The great thing is, I had an old steel tank, and they traded me for a what looks like a new aluminium tank!

 

[eriktlupus]

i use a fire extinguisher maintenence company. costs are $11 for a 5lb and $20 for 20lb.

edith yeah refill while you wait just call ahead to make sure a tech is in.

 

[bubbachunk]

The LHBS is 2$/lb but I can exchange my 20# tank at another welding supply store for ~21$ and the tanks I started with was junk in comparison.

 

[FullDraw]

$6.38 for 5 pounds. That was at the local beer dist. that happens to make ice. Took all of 5 minutes.

 

[nealf]

I pay about $11 for a 20# tank at the local welding shop.

 

[mosquitocontrol]

I just filled my 5# up for the first time today. $23! Totally ripped off. I definitely need to call around and find somewhere new. Plus get a larger tank.

$8 swap for 5# at airgas

 

[mordantly]

airgas is $20/5# and $30/20#. calli has a hazmat fee included there too of $5!

 

[Montanaandy]

$15 for a 5 gal tanks swap. I could get a 10# or 20# filled elsewhere cheaper but my LHBS guy is a really good guy and he cuts me slack on other purchases (grains, etc.) so I am good with this situation. I am a firm believer in supporting small local businesses when ever possible. Montanaany

I exchanged a 20# at AirGas for $22.

 

[TheCapn22]

Got my 10# tank filled at airgas for 19 bucks, not too bad. No exchange.

 

[moosetav]

well I've been looking around here and unless I wanna drive across the city, best bet is $18 for an exchange. LHBS is $20 for an exchange so I might as well not even bother driving to the other shop.

Exchanged my 5# tank at Oxarc for ~$12
