Hi everyone,

Can someone point me to a local retailer that sells and fills paintball cylinders. A quick Google search didn't come up with anything conclusive. Hopefully they're located within the city but I can drive if there's nothing available.

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

JT's military surplus (http://www.jtsmilitarysurplussales.com/) is one of the biggest around here that I know of. You can go to some canadian tires to get them filled, usually a bit cheaper. Canadian tire also sells cheap CO2 tanks and you can find ones on ebay as well. (I use to paintball a fair amount)

Good luck!

There's also the Surplus d'Armée Sg. enr in Hull, if you're on that side of the River...

Any chance you know how much it costs to fill a 10 or 20 lb tank?

Thanks,
Bruce

When I was brewing beer, I'd get my tanks filled at Davidson's on Percy St.

If you don't have a tank already, I have one to give away.  I'll need to check tonight, but I think it's a 10 lbs.  I might need to be pressure tested since I've had it for a while, but should be cheaper than a new one.

Thank you. I'll stop by there later today to check.

I got my 10lbs filled up last week at Pyromatek for 27$.

I ended up buying a 20 oz. tank at JT's. It came pre-filled (refills are $8). They also fill regular-sized canisters there.

This place is great because it's only 5 minutes from my house. Thanks for the suggestion!

20 oz for $8, not 20lbs.

I'm going 10-20 lbs. should last a long time for my sons use ;) Should give about 190 fills for a 10 lb tank.

Since my tank is only 5.5 gallons, I figured a 20 oz. paintball canister should last a few months.

I'm also getting a 2 lbs. tank for a 8.2 gallon tank I'm starting up.
