Hi Everyone!
I have a 20 oz co2 cylinder that needs refilling. I bought it at pacific but they want 25$ to refill it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place in queens that does refills? I have no car so it would need to be close to a train. Im in kew gardens close to the E or the F.
Thanks
patrick

$25? thats pretty ridiculous. They charged me that for a 20lb tank. Have you tried googling any other gas/air/welding shops?

Thanks Bk828
yeah Ive been on the phn this am. It seems no one in queens do refills. I found several places in brkln but it will take me well over an hr each way plus I would have no idea where I would be going. I just thought someone here might know of a place that I may have over looked

I refill my 5lb tank at AWISCO in Maspeth Queens ( not sure if any trains are nearby)
cost me 16 bucks last time ( $21 previous time and 18 the first time) , the price changes same like gasoline price changes.

there's a paintball supply store by Laguardia college, on 33 rawson st (7 train). I believe they do refill but not sure.

 

[partobe]

Thanks CakeHunter
Ill check them out do you know the name?

If this is the same as a paintball tank, i take mine to Dicks Sporting Goods out at Roosevelt Fields Mall to get it filled. It's a couple of dollar and the fourth fill is free or something like that.

Got a Sports Authority near you? I got mine filled for 3 bucks

no there are no trains but there is a bus that drops u off a block away cant remember the number but i can find out how much it will cost for you i work right up the block and i know the owner

Hi everyone thanks for all the great input. I found a fire extinguisher supply store close to me that will do it. They said it would cost 50$ for home delivery but didnt know how much it would be if I came to them but that it would be alot less. So im going to try them out. Its only like 15 20 min by bus and the bus is one block away from where I live
