If anyone is interested, Home Despot has oxygen tanks on sale right now for $4.30. That's something like #3-3.50 off the regular price. I picked one up yesterday and I think the sale goes for a couple of days more.

Watch out for those tanks dude, I have purchased a couple of those on sale at Home depot before and found that they were less then 3 lbs. considerably.

I've had the same experience when purchasing them from small hardware stores. (One was completely empty.) I've started writing dates and usage times (e.g. "30 sec") on the side so I can tell which brands and stores tend to sell duds. So far, the ones from Lowes seem to be pretty good.
