Hello
My little CS-3 broke the other day and I have been asking here about compressors and not the cheap stuff. I have had some good input but I also entertained the idea of a 6K Nitrogen tank setup. So I called a local welding supply store here in OK. They said they would check on pricing and get back to me. WOW!!!!! NOT happening at all.
Bottle rental is $2.80/day (1,022/year)
Content pricing $120 per fill
Does not cover delivery or filling/exchange charge.

Plus one time cost of regulator 300-500 at least.

So basically I will save up for the Coltri or Airtex.

I thought it was worth checking out since I'd seen some people's threads on how affordable it was except for the reg price but not around NW OK. Now maybe a national supply store might have better deals but they require info to run credit check and personal info and I am not going to give them that for a stupid bottle rental. This company requires that the "account" be open first before the will check on pricing so I'm out on that company.

Thanks
Jon

I found problems with a nitrogen rental where I live too. Small local shop only does 2000 psi tanks and the larger company doesn’t even want to deal with an individual air gun shooter. They said I would have to have an account and that they only have accounts with businesses that use nitrogen on a larger scale than I would. Plus the costs were inline with what you just stated.

You might want to look at a different supplier those price are Criminal a 6k nitrogen tank in washington st runs about $40.00 a month and a 484 cf bottle fill runs about 50 bucks at retail. another option buy a 2000 psi n2 tank in a 150 size cost around 250.00 refills should be about 20.00 and feed that to a small compressor no filters or oxidizers in guns or compressors

I talked to a bigger supplier(all over US) but wanted to do a credit check just to open account to check on prices and I'm not comfortable doing that. Even the local dive shop here wants around 30 to fill my 45min scba tank. Luckily there is 2 guys at our local monthly ft matches that have a gas powered Coltri that will fill tanks for $5 each tank regardless of size. I have 2 tanks and set them up to cascade fill but sometimes they won't make a month with my shooting. Also, I have found out filling from little compressors there is too much moisture getting to gun. I have a marauder in 20 cal and has just filled it and wanted to adjust the huma reg in it so I emptied gun. When I took it apart to pull the reg to adjust the tube had moisture droplets all in it. No bueno. I was using extra line filters as well. So if I could find a good portable one that had no moisture issues I would use it until I saved up enough for the airtex.

Thanks

I would do the Yong Hen or whatever it's called but I'm not going to setup all the crap you have to do to fill tanks. I am not a guy who likes to figure things out or love to work on stuff. I just want to hook up a tank and fill it and I am very happy to pay for that

Thanks

drsquall,
Here's my set-up, Yong Heng ($270), coalescing (copper-colored) filter ($125) and gold M50 filter ($60). Everything is permanent except stool, bucket and water pump/hoses, which are set up and broken down each fill session. Yeah, takes more effort than plug and fill but can't be beat for value and dependability. WM

“Yong heng” and “value and dependability”. Isn’t two things I would put in one sentence.

Sorry you feel that way, plenty of long-term Yong Heng success stories on this forum. Mine's heading into third year, over 30 hours run-time, no problems. Inexpensive, easily available replacement parts stand at-the-ready, just in case. WM
