Default CO2 Tank

Anyone know where I can get a tank? I'm looking for a 10lbs. I've phoned a few places around but they are extremely pricey.

I bought mine at J&L for about 160 bucks, I bought a few extra things too boost the total over 200, to get the free shipping.

There are welding sources on ebay which sell tanks, and other people.

when you bought your tank, when you went to fill it up do they have to test it first or did they just fill it up? Just wondering if there is any hidden costs when you want to use a brand new cylinder.

I checked the welding stores here,and the best deal I could find was $200 for a 5lb tank and regulator w/o needle valve. J&l beats that with a 10lb tank,regulator and needle valve for $260.

I just don't know if it is worth it to rent, mind you I have no idea how long a 10lbs would last for. Cause after 2 years I guess your just pay'n them. I guess J&L's is the cheapest I've seen.
