Compressed systems vary in
cost. I bought my regulator for about $90.00 (Cdn) , clippard needle
valve
for $25.00 and a few bucks for miscellaneous parts. The tank is a 20lb
which
I rent, a one time deposit of $50.00 and $30. to fill it.

Where did you get the regulator and needle valve? (one stage or two?)
Where do you rent the CO2?

When I last looked into this I was looking at spending twice that for
parts. I never did figure out who would be willing to sell me the CO2.

thanks.

double gauge regulator purchased at a local hydroponics store in Winnipeg,
Canada, Clippard valve purchased from another local company and the co2
rental tank and gas fill simply provided by a local supplier of various
types of gas. Check your local yellow pages for anyone selling welding
equipment, gas refills etc, they should all sell CO2. For me the $50. rental
of the tank is a great deal.
