1. Steinfillers in Long Beach: Stein Fillers - Home
Its the homebrew store that I use for my beer making supplies. They also sell new empty CO2 cylinders at reasonable prices and I have traded in empty cylinders here as well from my tanks. Cost was approx $12 for 5lbs trade-in.

2. Sims Welding Supply Co. in Long Beach, Gardena, Wilmington, Culver City, Fontana, Sylmar, and Anaheim. Sims Welding Supply
I haven't been there personally but some others have. I don't know prices but have heard around $10-15 for 5lb swap out.

Abe, I edited your thread so that we can use your's as a basis for all Scape CO2 inqueries.


Orange Coundy CO2 Refills

Spectrum Gas in Costa Mesa: www.spectrumgas.com
This is where I get all my CO2 refills at. This join mainly deals with the oxygen department (such as all those medical bottles you see). The shop is one of the "industrual garage" outfits. When you go there, just walk up with your cylinder and look for someone who looks like they work there and just ask for a CO2 refill. I have gone there numerous times and they are always very friendly about it.
It used to cost $8 a refill on 5lb. I think it is up to $10 now. There is no "pricing" on it since it isn't a normal service they offer, so just ask how much. You might get lucky at $8 :P I just hand them a $10 and don't ask.

Haven't priced them out yet but Beverages & More sends people to them for the CO2 Supplies.

In San Diego (and everywhere else) there is no end to industrial gas supply places as well as fire suppression places. I got my tank at AirGas (www.airgas.com) and had it filled at West Air in El Cajon. It was a matter of convenience rather than price. Most places I've gone to seem to do swap outs as a matter of course. I'll see about getting prices together.

Beverage factory has 5# cylinders for $57, and they will fill it (initailly) for $10. I dunno about refills, though.

I discovered when I moved that I had cross threaded the bubble counter on my regulator and most of my CO2 had leaked out. It was $19 to refill my 10# tank at O'Shea's. They do refills only, no exchanges. It was a little on the expensive side, but would be great for someone who owns a nice shiny tank. Very quick while-you-wait service.

As a bonus, I think I'm gonna have to go back and pick up a home brew kit.

slickwillislim

I was considering filling my tank here 10.95 is reasonable I just would preffer somewhere closer. I called a couple places and they wanted to trade in. Does anyone in or near Long beach 247plants or abefroman know anyplaces that fill a tank with out swapping?

William,
those prices are pretty good. Don't forget to look for places like AirGas.com and other welding/fire system places.

ShortFin

Onsite Refills: $7 for 5lbs.

Rehydro: $15 - it takes 2 weeks to get it back.

I just got mine rehydro. It took 3 weeks to get it back. He only charge me $10 total w/Co2 for the inconvenience. He'll hook me up with a free refill next time. The thing is I didn't even ask for any of it.
