    You guy's that use mother bottle's...

    How much do you pay? I was quoted $380 for initial bottle purchase (filled) and the dummy on the phone couldn't tell me how much an exchange was later. They called it a 200 bottle and holds about 65 pounds. I have no choice really, every fill station in Ontario charges $9-12/lb to fill.

    That's about what they charge here. I know Mitch got a super good deal on it at Airgas where he lived. I couldn't get any airgas close to replicate it.

    Also, I haven't seen a 65lb. I've seen a lot of 56lbs though.

    I pay ALOT less than that. I have a Airgas account and go through a few mother bottles a month on average. I fill for myself and a few others. And around here you can't buy the bottle itself, you can only lease it which is 65$ a yr.

    That was a one time price, I had the manager on the phone who didn't know a thing. Gonna have to take a drive over and figure it all out, it seems as soon as people pick up the phone they go stupid.

    yeah we get 56lb bottles for 130 tax and all. i can get them filled here just as cheap though so not dealing with the idiots at airgas is worth a little extra time to me!
