It's not for my tank but for a kegerator.. Where do you calcium reactor guys fill up? I'm assuming the quality is good enough for humans if its good enough for your tanks. Thanks.

I'm in Orange.

where you fill, is generally dictated by the tank you already own.

most places won't just take a CO2 tank you bring them, and fill that up. it's usually an exchange system.

if your tank doesn't have the sticker/stamps showing that it has been recently tested, the place is gonna charge you a surcharge for the test, and swap you one of their own.

it's kinda janky, but pretty much part of the business. they ALL do it.

Airgas and Praxair are pretty much all over the place.

Mr Kegs in Huntington Beach is where I go. They fill up my own tank (not exchange)

Co2 is just co2 right? Can't you just go to anY paintball store? Or is it different? There's a paintball store probaBly in every city. I know there's one near the block on garden grove blvd right under the 22 freeway passover. Exit haster or Fairview depending on your direction.

Depending on the tank size some paint ball stores won't fill it. Plus they usually charge more to fill.

I don't know how much they charge for a refill at a paintball place, but general rule of thumb is the prices will be cheaper at places that sell the product in greater volume.

in this case, welding supply places will likely have the cheapest prices.

it's been a little while since i've filled my MIG tank, but i think it was $15 for a 20lb tank.

Juan posted an interest thread trying to get people for a private match at SC village. You should pm him. Also about the paintball store, not sure if all tank regulator fittings are the same but I'm pretty sure the paintball store will only have the one fitting for paintball gun tanks.
TotaLly off topic. But I know this forum has lots of paintballers. We should set up big private group. :)
