You will pay $.45 to $1.00 a cubic foot depending on what mix you get. One thing is you do not need hot mixes unless you are going to use them. What ever you are comfortable with for a END figure your He% based on that and save some money. The next thing to do is get to know dive partners that can mix it them-self.
There's one fill station you didn't mention. This big green van drives around and does mobile He, Nitrox and Argon fills. I just see him pull into the parking lot, drop off my tanks to him and the next time around they come back full. Very affordable, convenient and did I mention the winning smile and superb customer service? :supz:
Is that the van that can fix anything in your home as well? :salute:
