Hey folks, does anyone know were to get gas bottles filled with pure c02?  I have the bottles and even the equipment to siphon from one bottle to another but none of the gas suppliers my work has a account with even want to rent me a bottle  :o

I was using gas but it was mixed, and it wouldnt carb properly.
Cheers

Hi Dave,

I've been using this place for over a year:

NIFEX Ltd, 29 Colinglen Road Dunmurry BT17 0LR.

£90 or £100 for a filled 6kg CO2 bottle and £20 a refill. They replace the bottle for after 5 years. Can't remember how much for but it'll be a fraction of the initial £100 IIRC .

Some of the other Belfast lads are using them too.

Cheers Barry,

thats a sting for a small bottle... is that an annual rental price, does anyone get there own bottles filled up you know of or do they only do there own bottles/exchange???

No; that's a one-off price for the bottle.. You have to replace it after 5 years but I *think* it's only 30-something quid for the replacement, filled.

Don't know of anyone who gets their own bottles filled there, though.

Cheers,
