    Any place in Des Moines area of refilling 10lb Co2 Tank? I prefer refill not exchange since I have a nice 10lb Co2 Tank of my own.

    Same day pick up is nice, but not limited to.

    Thanks.

    I use Airgas in Cedar Rapids. I think they have a location in Des Moines.

    Welding supply places will do exchanges I know, not sure about refills. I would call them and ask. I'm guessing there would be several options around Des Moines for welding supplies. I know there is in CR.

    Fessler Carbonic Gas Co. in Des Moines, on East Ovid Ave. When I ran a calc reactor with a 5# aluminum tank, I would take there to refill. Was reasonably priced, and they did it within minutes of me stopping by.

    I checked Fessler Carbonic and the guy is not always there it has to drop off and pick up the next day. I found another location in Des Moines area that you can get it refill and pick up on the spot.

    GetzFire

    Thanks everyone for the advice.

    Archery Field and Sports, between Pleasant Hill and Altoona. That's where I would always fill up my paintball tanks. They'll do it immediately for you as long as your tank has up-to-date hydro testing stamps.

    I always exchange at Praxair on 2nd. Not sure if they refill though. I might have to check out that Getzfire place as I would prefer to refill.
