where do you buy the gas bottles from? I rent from BOC, do they sell them as well?
Around $65/qtr and I might not do any welding for 6 months, so yeah, it's money for nothing. How much are the E size bottles?

Here in QLD I paid $479 for each full bottle and $159 each refill so basically $320 outlay per bottle initially.

That is awesome, but you could have gone one better with a fully automatic welding machine with a double stack magazine full of sodastream cartridges. (Sorry)

Yesterday a parcel arrived from Ali Express. I bought a syringe for crosspieces. I've already done everything today.

He's making a joke but he's forgotten that english isn't your first language. Sodastream cartridges are what we use to make carbonated drinking water.

Being a pressure vessel, yes they do. Whilst you buy and own 'the bottle' its at your discretion as to whether you refill it specifically and retain that bottle or simply do a swap out. You can buy brand spanking new bottles also instead of from a fleet. I will check the expiry on mine in due course and ensure it is swapped out before expiring just in case there is some push back. At the end of the day its a straight forward process to get the bottle retested and re-certified also, costs about $50 from memory.
