I switched to a 5lb CO2 tank. It is much cheaper than the SS cylinder exchange. The cylinder exchange is where SS makes a killing. Not to mention what a pain it is to find a store with them in stock, and find someone that knows how to ring up the exchange
Refilling those SS tanks yourself really isn't an option. You would need a CO2 tank with a siphon hose (specifically designed for filling CO2 tanks). I looked into this and a 5 LB tank was my best option.
This is a siphon tube tank. The smallest i found of these was 20 LBs. Then you need to hang the tank you are filling from a scale to get the right weight in the tank. This is a very involved method.
Best bet, get an adapter, get a 5 LB tank, find a place near you that exchanges empty tanks for filled tanks, and you don't worry about it for 6 months or so.
