I bought the Drs. Foster and Smith Semi-Automatic CO2 setup a little while ago and was wondering where to get the proper CO2 tank from. I saw on the instructions of the Azoo regulator that showed a nice CO2 Depot but I can't find it anywhere to buy. All I have seen are the upright standing tanks that have the hole coming from the top, not the side. I was wondering if there's any danger in having a 20oz CO2 tank on its side. I thought it might be dangerous and harder to place in a steady place than the Azoo one. I'd appreciate any help.
C02 tanks should never be placed on their side. Allways up-right.
As for getting tanks, believe it or not, but bigger the tank, the cheaper it is. I get mine form a place called Camcarb in Toronto.
For a 5 pound tank, they were charging me 105+ dollars filled, plus taxes. He suggested i go with the 15 pound, which was 60 dollars filled, plus tax.
Goto a local commercial welding store, or look in the yellow pages and call around. You can get them cheap if you shop. I almost ended up paying hundred bucks for a 5 pound tank, but luckily the guy at the place told me about the 15 pounder!!
