Default Bulk nitrous cost? How much for a 100lb cylinder

Just pondering getting a filling station for myslef and a few buddys going in on it to top our stuff off. Just trying to figure out how much bulk nitrous is plus cylinder rental to see at what point we would come out.

What is the typical costs of bulk nitrous and anything else we should know?

i know that places that sell nitrous barely make any money they do it more as a service and to get you into the place. My guess is you'll pay 3 to 3.50 a lb at the cheapest

Yeah, it's all the same stuff. They throw a little sulfer in the auto stuff to keep kids from abusing it, and of course there is a little better quality control on medical grade. As to automotive, there is only one grade, maybe a couple brands. The only brand I know of is Nytrus+.


Up here the cylinder cost $250 a year, and about 350 a fill.
