Well in my case i went with electric.
One problem though, in my apartment just one 16 A fused outlet and that is the one for my oven in the kitchen, so a measure of creativity would have to be undertaken for me to tap into that.
I could take off the oven CUZ i use a much smaller table top oven for the little i cook, and actually i got that little oven to work Kydex in and not cook.
But that way i could charge bottles in my 2 floor apartment CUZ i dont think my compressor are that loud, or take that long boosting a bottle back up to 300
For the same reason a gasoline compressor would be silly, CUZ i would have to lug it up from my basement storage room then.
Or at my friends where my compressor actually are, lug it outside so we dont get " smoked " out, where as the electric one, sit on a 3 foot high stand and are nice and easy within reach just inside the big sliding door into what i assume was once the machine house on the little farm, that is very small you need a old little 60ties tractor to get it in there.
One of those nifty solar / mains power stations, could actually run my compressor ( 2000 watts ) but those are by no means cheap, and it would mean going mobile would be 2 X the weight.
Mind you, these big boy compressors are not cheap, it would be ideal to spread the cost out on a few shooters i think.
I cant do that, so i went with a cheap Chinese 4 Cylinder Tuxing compressor, that so far lasted a year. CUZ my charge needs are about 1 maybe 2 bottles a month.
It would be nice with a nice brand compressor, but it seem like i am not a good boy and the lotto gods forsake me. And i am too old to work or rob little old ladies.
