Some people will prolly tell you that you'll get a whole bunch of runs on a 10lb bottle, but I've never got, nor heard of anyone else locally, getting what people on this board get per bottle.

When I had my 100 pills in I could usually get 6-7 FULL 1/4 runs per bottle. Now that I have the 150s, it's normally around 5.

As far as price, most shops charge anywhere from 5 bucks on up per lb. I have a friend who has his own filling station and hooks up people he knows and friends. Technically, he charges 3 dollars a pound, but he usually just takes 30 bucks even if he goes over, which he normally does. He'll stuff about 27-28 lbs in

It's a 10 lb bottle, and then it holds another 15 lbs of N2O. A total of 25 lbs When you get your bottle filled, they weigh the total lbs. I didn't mean 26-28 lbs of N2O, sorry...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that "10 pound bottle" meant it held 10 pounds or n20.

Well, all I know is that when I have my bottle filled and weighed, it normally reads 15-17lbs BEFORE it's filled, and 26-28 after.

Maybe it's the bottle that weighs 15lbs??

Anyhoo, that's how it works for me...

Your bottle should have the weight on it when full and empty. empty I think is 15lbs. So add 10 more pounds to that and you get 25lbs total. I think that's what he meant to say.
