Couldn't have been AirGas. Thats the price I pay from my new LWS. They are 30 miles away but worth the trip. Always free samples of flap discs and tungstens, filler rods etc...love that place.rick9345 wrote:Yesterday,LWS 330cf tank refill/exchange $77.00 + tax ,no fees cause bought some other stuff.

My local AirGas won't exchange any competitor bottle but I think air Liquide is history. I paid $125 for a 125cf bottle on Craigslist. There really isn't any advantage to owning your your bottles. I leased my 300cf for $260 for 7 year and if I return it, I get the money back, pro-rated. I was told 300cf bottles are not for sale and if you find one for sale it's stolen. That may or may not be true but leasing isn't a bad deal and it's a write off.cornmuse wrote:Last week at a yard sale I got a 125 fc 'Air Liquide' (way out of insp date) for $25. 5-Star wouldnt exchange it. Went to 'AirGas', $110 for exchange mig-mix. Is/was $135 a good/bad deal??

I've seen an Air Liquide cryo transport truck occasionally when visiting one of my friends in Tacoma, WA. I have never seen or heard of Air Liquide in regards to retail facilities and "small" volume services like bottled gasses in the local area, though.exnailpounder wrote:My local AirGas won't exchange any competitor bottle but I think air Liquide is history.

I was going to buy a couple T bottles of helium off an old farmer and I called my LWS to ask if I could get them filled and they told me that T bottles weren't normally sold so they might be stolen. I don't know if it's true or not. I want to get out of Illinois soon, if your gun laws are good I might move therePoland308 wrote:In Iowa they let you buy whatever size you want. Move here! Lol
I was working in a refinery a few years back and while doing fresh-air training I was looking at the hydro stamps on the bottles in the banks and some of them were initially tested in the 20's and a couple had swastikas on them. They wouldn't fit in my lunch box so I had to leave them thereOtto Nobedder wrote:There's a "B" size bottle at work I'm buttering up the boss for, because I want it.
The neck ring is stamped "U.S. Army Air Service Balloon", and the initial hydro test date on it is March, 1919, so it will soon be 100 years in service.
I want this bottle to be mine.

Post a location for comparison.hardhatdiver wrote:my LWS charges me $42.35 for a T size bottle of argon. also for a 75/25 argon/helium mix for $66.21. sounds like some of you are paying on the high side.
