BTW if you buy a tank and swap them... If you start with a small tank you can pay the difference plus gas and bump up to a larger tank if you find yourself going through a lot of them. I did that with my Oxygen and acetylene tanks. If I didn't have much money I would get a fill. If I had a few more bucks I would bump up larger. It is not the most money efficient way of getting a large tank, nor is paying more money for less gas.
Might be a good option for me. Would buy me some time to figure out what my usage would be and save some more money for a bigger tank if I need one. Need to find some time to call around, get some definitive prices for bottles, exchanges, refills, etc. I plan to primarily stick weld with TIG to learn and for things where stick wouldn't be the best option.
