CO2 Refills...

[Curvball]

What is your CO2 source?

I've got 2 cylinders by Ista - the water plant system ones. One is 2litre the other is a 1litre.

Really annoyed that it is so difficult to get them refilled.

Bummer mate, the ista canisters are a smaller thread than the uk din477 I looked for a while to no avail when I first purchased an ista co2 kit switched to fe and jbl reg in the end.

The regulator I have fits FE's - it is din477. Think you are talking about the smaller Ista disposable canisters?

Ah crap... So the regulator I have doesn't fit FE's then? Regulator is this one:


And the now empty CO2 canister...

That dennerle reg will fit fe's the ista bottles are out by a millimeter or two apparently, so the place I go to won't refill the bottle, I used the ista reg on jbl refillable bottles for a while which are din 477 until it sprung a leak.

Looking at your reg online it comes with an adapter for refillable bottles so you should be able to remove this and use a disposable bottle Untill you can source a refill or a fe, hope this helps mate.

Tim you been extremely helpful - appreciate it. Going to see if I can get my hands on a FE tomorrow... But til I get gas, it will be lights out over the tank😉

However I am still pretty pissed that I have 2 perfect CO2 cylinders that I can fill - and the small one was for another project.

Let's hope I can get a small FE to fit in the cabinet...

Thanks to everybody for their help so far.

Looks like it will be a FE for me. You can add these guys to the list for Colchester, Essex:

Essex and London fire alarm, intruder, CCTV dry riser.

Unit C2 The Seedbed Centre, Wyncolls Road, Severalls Industrial Park, Colchester, Essex CO4 9HT

Been quoted £15 for a 2kg FE.

Hoping to pick it up Monday lunchtime.


In hopes of getting my Ista cylinders filled, I am waiting on input from Aquajardin and Ista themselves.

And just like that I have an offer to refill my Ista cylinders - just the carriage is going to break the bank.

To go with the nice looking cylinders nobody ever sees or to go with a butt ugly FE setup... That is the question... 🙂

FlameSkill in Gt Yarmouth refills my 2KG FE for just £3.60, been that price for the past few refills, even has that price listed on their wall in their office.

Hi

Some info for Cornish / SW members, I'm still hunting for somewhere down here to do refills. All I've found so far is J Gas Supplies in Perranporth.

They will only fill cylinders that they have sold, a 6.35kg cylinder is £78.80 inc vat and they will refill this size for £16.80 inc vat.

I'm still waiting for some more companies to get back to me and will update when they do.

Cheers

Well... I can't say I've had any luck...

I would say not to go to Emperor Tropicals in Plymouth for your gas as they use J Gas Supplies (as previous post) but charge £110 for a 2Kg cylinder...

I've ordered a recon FE from ebay, less than 20 quid delivered. I guess I'll just buy another one when I need to rather than refilling....

Cheers

 

[Samjpikey]

Where did you order that from ??

Sounds good to me ,

Aquator in hele torquay refill 2kg for £25 that's all I've found ...

It'll be a long drive for you its about a hour and a half from me and i bet your about the same distance.
By the time you add petrol on top you may aswell get an "air products" or "energas" account and get it delivered
