Just a heads up when buying a used CO2 bottle. They are only fillable for 5 years from the date stamped on the cylinder. After that you need to take it in for a hydrotest. if it passes, (rarely they don't) they stamp it for another 5 years.

But the cost of a hydrotest is negligible if you're filling up the tank anyways.

Correct, and most places don't charge you if it fails. HydroTest around the Lower Mainland is about $25.00
