for
a very used but filled steel tank when you run out of CO2. The welding
supply company that I get CO2 from sells tanks for about 50 bucks.

I've heard that complaint from others. I haven't taken the leap to "real"
CO2 yet, but I have it on authority that you can get your tanks filled or
exchanged at liquor outlets and distributors. Apparently CO2 tanks engaged
in the hospitality industry receive somewhat gentler treatment.
