ive heard that they are for sale at welding shops...dunno why they would be. im sure that you can get them off the internet/ebay.
also, if you want something a bit more portable you can buy a 5lb(or the massive tanks) and have it set up so that you can attach a 16oz bottle and refill that. you can then have a fill station, and yet you dont have to lug it around.
i just did a quick search on google and confirmed that welding suppliers have them and the one that i found was $35.

There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.
It depends on the place your filling at, paintball shops will charge ALOT, from my experience. Also, I did the thing the people are doing in the grand theft retard pic in your sig. Except it was with wagons and bikes
do paintabll shops charge alot? damn...i need to fill my 16oz tank somewhere...
also, the "grand theft retard" thing is an actual event in San Fransisco (heard about it on TV)

CO2 is used in Inert Gas welding, hence being available at welding shot.

to get all the way up to 20oz refils at a paintball place it is normaly about 2 bucks
I have a 50 pound tank i use with my team
i think its somehwere in the $30 range to get filled...
it just cost allot to get started
to fill co2 tank
you neeed a scale... not a problem
a fill station set up... we built ours but if you dont there about $70
and a tank... there sorta pricey... i dont rememeber how much mine was but im sure a 5lb tank would be alot cheaper

Ya, so I didn't buy another refill ( waste of money ).pimpmann22 wrote:To refill a 20 oz tank it cost you $20? A high price here is $4, typically you can get $2 fills.
Another refill of balls ( how many the gun can hold ) was like around 10. So I picked up balls off the floor.

aroundhere its $5 for 20oz $0.25 per ounce
I get my 5lb Co2 Tank filled for about $8.00 (welding supply).
To fill my Paintball tanks it usually costs about $.25 an ounce.
I usually fill my tanks at paintball games because they have a $5-10 fee for all day and since I have about 259 ounces total in tanks and at $.25 an ounce its about $64.75, so its a good price when filled at games.
If you are going to fill your own tanks I recommend getting a 20lb or 50lb Co2 tank with siphon. Fill Station (about $40 for a good inexpensive one) and a digital scale.

cheap walmart fish scales work well
I have a 50 pounder with siphon and a weight watchers scale hahaha... but you really dont need to buy a fill station... you can make out of fittings... its just a tee, one side has a ball valve that goes to air. the other has a ballvalve then a steelbraded hose and a tank asa.Orpackrat wrote: If you are going to fill your own tanks I recommend getting a 20lb or 50lb Co2 tank with siphon.
