Anyone have an extra tank for a mig they aren't using that I could buy? And where's the cheapest place to get a fill up/new bottle setup.

not sure about being the cheapest, but brazos valley welding supply on 2818 is a nice place

**** renting. If you move it will make exchanging the bottle a PITA.

I had to drive to BOTCO, some other place in bryan, and finaly out the brazos valley welding supply yesterday before I could find someone to exchange my empty gas bottle that came from Kingsville. BVW will be getting my business from now on.

I don't know for sure what TSC's prices are compared to BVW or others, but they are all over and are open 7 days a week. A few extra dollars might be worth it getting one of their bottles when you need it late sunday afternoon to finish up a project. FWIW

when did TSC start carrying welding gas?

home depot has it and there bottle refills were really close to the cost of the place I was using, but much more convenient.

Praxair supplies them.

Northern does bottles too.

they also have 100% argon if you are into the tig thing.

They keep it inside at the one here, to the left when you walk in next to the soda pop cooler. I think the larger bottles (dont know size) were like 117 filled with the argon/co mix

I'm going to rent for now. I'll give it up in May and buy whenever I get a house sometime late next year.
