I've searched here in CT, and I've found some places want 5 bucks a lb, some want 3.50 a lb. At those rates, I see myself buying a compressor and a nitrous refill station.

Luckily, there's a TON of ricers around that all spray, and I have a local stereo shop that sells/installs kits, but doesn't refill bottles by my house. I've talked to them recently, and they ahve no plans of refilling..... but when I proposed coming by a few tiems a week to pick up bottles, take them home and fill them for 3.25 a lb, they seemed very intrested

Easy way to make enough $ in one summer to pay for the refill station and compressor..... and after that I'll never actually pay for a lb of nitrous I use myself, which is good enough for me. Hell I"ll probably make $ off it..... I can get the big cylinders at a couple gas/welding companies for 2.10-2.40 a lb.
