Where do you guys get your co2 tanks filled?

I just got a Ca reactor and I am looking for places that will fill my tank, I live in Shoreline but anywhere would be good.

Thanks

Praxair - look in the yellow pages for welding supplies, I'm sure there is one close to you.

Central welding. They are all over, look them up om the web.

PraxAir...if you want the same tank back, like if you actually bought a new tank, you have to carefully explain to them that you want to maintain ownership. They send all the tanks to a filling facility in Tacoma I believe. Typically you just get a swap out tank, but I am a bit skeptical of how other people handle tanks when they have them.

I painted the handle a bright color and zip tied on a brightly painted acrylic disk (yes, you can use those holes you cut out for something!) with my name and city. Because I don't do the swap out thing, I own two tanks. That way I always have one running while the other is being filled. It is about a 2 week turn-around when you do it this way.

Just go to the local paintball supply store in your area. Heck, thier probably even open weekends...

The Central Welding Supply in Lynnwood (on corner of hwy 99 and I think 196) is usually pretty good about refilling your own tank. That's not too far from Shoreline. I've been to others that just want to exchange b/c it's easier and cheaper for them. If you have a nice tank, as janarowe mentioned, make sure you look for a store that is willing to refill your own. If you have a not so nice tank, then heck, look for one that exchanges and maybe you'll end up with a nice one

Airgas is where I go. They will exhange, not fill. But I don't care what my tank looks like.

Also try homebrew supply shops. Mmmm, homebrew.

I don't really care what the tank looks like, I just don't like any possibility that some hillbilly has put something other than CO2 into it.
