I have found that prices for a bottle of CO2 can vary dramatically from shop to shop, this side of town to the other side of town. How much do you pay for a bottle of CO2?

Thanks abucks. Is the purity 100% CO2? And what is the usual psi of a full tank of CO2?

100% certified pure. They use a scale and fill my 50# tank right in front of me. When I get home and hook it up, and let it sit untill it reaches room temp, and its always at 3300psi to 3400psi depending on the room temp. The psi will be at that no matter how much co2 is in the tank. It won't drop below that until it is out. I've tried several other methods of co2 generation, and none have compared to this. The only downfall is lugging a tank around every couple weeks. The company I go to will lease tanks up to 1000# and come fill them for half the cost of doing a small 50# tank. The biggest benefit is no heat generated by propane generators, and no co2 bags hanging everywhere.

Do you rent or buy the CO2 cylinder?

i own it! i think that if i lived closer to a big city, the price wouldnt be so out of line. i even asked if i got a 50lb or 75lb if the price per lb would be different, they said NOPE!
