I live in SC and my CO2 refills are limited to tank exchanges with Airgas locally. They do exchanges and swap out my empty 5# tank for a filled one.
Back in late winter (Jan I think) 2016, I swapped a 5# CO2 tank for $18. I traded it today which is less than 6 months later, and the swap cost me $27. Wait, did you get the price right I asked, or is that for a 10# swap. Nope, its for a 5# he says. Hummm.
This means that swap went up 50% in 5 months. Is this typical prices swing wildly like this? I never noticed wild variations like this before. Is this just here in SC with Airgas, or have others noticed the increase?? Unfortunately, I'd have to drive 75 miles to other sources. There goes any potential savings
