Paintball tanks

What to do with them after the hydro expires? I've got two that I used as a backup to my 5lbder and to force carb with but they have expired. Is there any use for them? I assume getting them re-hydroed wouldn't be cost effective.

I got a paintball tank hydro-tested at my local paintball shop for around $25. This was at least 5 years ago, but I don't expect the price to change that much.

I just paid 21 for a new tank. But thanks for the info on the paintball shop hydroing the tank.

I purchased a refill valve to refill my paintball tank from my 20# tank.

I've done the same. I don't want to recommend adding onto the risk of filling a paint ball tank yourself by also involving an expired tank, but it isn't like the date on the bottle passes and it automatically is no good.
