Default So, nitrous bottle in frezzer...

so i put my bottle in the freezer early as im getting it refilled tomorrow and i thought i would make it a little easier and quicker on the filler...

a fill station is still going to work out to about $5 a lb through airgas. that's the only company i know that would sell nitrous plus around sacramento. i'm doing the fill station for convenience. sucks to always see others on here getting it so much cheaper in other parts of the country and i can't get it for that.

let me know if you find it any cheaper.

Yep, I fill my own, and have a pump. It costs me $3.50 a lb buying my cylinders from airgas. The shops around here charge $6.00 lb. and have a 5 lbs. minimum. So, I try to take care of my friends and sell it for $4.00 a lbs, with no minimum, in order to recoupe my cost for my pump.

**** all of you getting it cheaper!!!! it's about $190 for me to go to airgas and pick up a filled 56lb bottle. been a while since i got one and don't doubt the price has gone up even more. and about $10 a month on the bottle rental. fucken line, bottle port nut or whatever it's called, and filter was another $30 or so. but it is nice to freeze a bottle for an hour or so and fill it.

How are you guys getting from Airgas? When I asked about this one time, they told me they only sold medical grade nitrous and for that you had to have a license.... I guess it's been a long time though.
