Have you got a TSC (tractor supply company) nearby?

Thanks
I'll Check them out. Do you know their pricing? If there's a deposit for the tank? or do I bring my own tank to be filled?

It depends on the tank. If you have the smallest one, you need to buy the tank outright. Any other size you just pay a small deposit ~$10. The small one is about $130 to buy, and even though you've bought the tank they just exchange it anyway (they don't refill it onsite). You could also try praxair, unitec, boc gases. The price is up and down. Usually I pay around $45 bucks to fill up the small tank. But a few years ago it was only 20 something. YMMV. Also depends on the mix, triple mix, pure argon etc.

Actually the TSC exchange program uses the praxair service.

Praxair, Unitec etc.

I get my Oxy-Ace tanks filled at Praxair, and they rent tanks as well.
