Hello,

I have a 500g JBL CO2 bottle which I currently refill by taking it to
the fish shop and having it replaced for a filled bottled for £9.

I was trying to look for other cheaper alternatives and made some phone
calls, but it seems that gas suppliers would only do that if you rent
the bottle from them and pay a monthly fee, which wouldn't be cheaper.

Anyone knows of a cheaper way to have CO2 bottles refilled?

Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem - my LFS in Hampshire is now trying to source it.

Now you're making me paranoid. I'd better start ringing around now before
my 2kg bottle runs down. How about a fire station?

I use 3Kg bottles from my local Calor depot . The JBL regulator needs a
slight sanding with wet & dry to fit but works a treat. About £15 a refill -
just take the old bottle to the depot & grab a full one.

I.

Iain,

Do you need to rent/buy the bottle from Calor? If so, how much does it cost?

Thanks,
Golan.
